From pre historic times, to all over the world, and seeing them at your local zoo. The crocidille and alligator, coming from two different reptile familes. Both animals very strong, agile creatures, yet while at a first glance, alligators and crocodiles appear similar, but they are in fact, two completely different species. both the crocidle and alligaotr share many physical features reguarding the same aspect, with few differences that tell them apart. both having thick ridged skin, long tails, short stumpy legs, webbed toes, and sharp teeth. Looking into further detail the differences between the two are skin color, the eyes, head shapes, and strangly the mouths. Adult alligators are grayish black while adult crocodiles are light tan to brown in color. the difference between the two concerning eyes is that most crocodiles tend to have green eyes, while alligators have brown ones. Alligators heads are more " U"-shaped, while crocodiles are "V"-shaped. Lastly the teeth, what were all really afraid of. When an alligator closes its mouth, the teeth go into the mouth and disappear. When a crocodile closes its mouth, the teeth remain visible, and they stick outside the upper jaw. …show more content…
both animals being carnivors, they eat meat.crocdiles look at humans as prey. they are more dangerous to the human race. in areas such as Costa Rica, Mexico and Guatemala humas attacks are not uncommon. whereas alligators rarley attack humans. when the case is, its because we as humans are generally putting ourselves as a threat to the alligator. feeding the animal, it then expects more from us and when we dont give it more, it takes charge. also alligaotrs are extreamly protextive of their young ones, so its better to keep a distance while near these
...silophodon, a small, agile bipedal herbivore. The Ceratopsians appeared at beginning of cretaceous period from the family Ornithopoda. Pachycephalosaurs contained a ten inch thick skull, which was actually fairly fragile, and their first line of self defense would be to run away. Ceratopsians, which mean horned face, are large beasts with horns that can defend themselves pretty well. Both were very similar, but contained distinct differences.
Not only are giraffes the tallest animals in the world, they are also one of the most recognizable. Their characteristic long necks quickly captivate any audience. That being said, it is not commonly known that there are thought to be nine subspecies of Giraffa camelopardalis. In fact, there is increasing evidence that these could potentially be separate species in their own right. This paper will discuss where giraffes fit in the Tree of Life and identify the giraffe’s closest relatives, differentiate and analyze the similarities and differences between the nine subspecies, and, finally, explore any debate revolving around the phylogeny of the subspecies.
The relationship of the three species and their ancestors can be summarized by looking at the fossils above. It is evident that all of these three species possess fangs and other types of sharp, prominent teeth. These analogous features indicate that there is some similarity in ancestry, since they all form part of the same family group, although they come from different genus. However, there is some difference in the shape of the head. The coyote possesses a straighter jaw and more angular head. The wolf, on the other side, has a wider denture similar to the fox. These three species also share Homologous structures, such as fangs, are present in these species. Another homologous structure is the legs and ribs, since they all have a similar
Each of them is different. From the shape of their eyes, the way they react to something, and those are what make each of them different and special. Paulson compares animals and humans by their similar characteristics and behaviors. Palson has used a lot of animal comparisons with characters throughout this book, but I would only use three of them in this essay. The first comparison happened on page seventy-eight of Crossing.
"How The Crocodile Got It's Skin" is a myth because it meets all the criteria a myth requires. The three requirements a story must have in order to be a myth is it must follow a pattern, answer the question "why?", and follow a belief system. The crocodile is introduced to the readers early in the story by repeatedly coming out of the water; "The crocodile became very proud of its skin and started coming out of the water to bask...even while the sun was still shining". (Paragraph 2) In order for a story to be a myth it must follow a pattern. Theoretically because the crocodile seeks the attention, he continuously came out of the water to bask; therefore, meeting one of the requirements of a myth. Also, in the text it said, "But each day
Imagine walking into a room of bouncing, little balls of fur. You look in the corner and there are two-stubby legged puppies, corgis. You know that these two puppies are similar, but not the same breed. You remember the two breeds of corgi, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. You decide to make a list of similarities, between the two breeds, but what would be on that list?
Some similarities are revolve around the animals playing a big part in how the earth was formed and discovered. The animals in both stories were present first according to the stories.
Hello . My names Ellie and I’ll be talking about two Aussie movies that both contain mateship . These two movies are red dog and crocodile Dundee . Mateship has been shown through the actions of the characters throughout both of these iconic films. Mateship has been betrayed as an icon throughout both of these films. Mateship has been shown through the actions of the characters in both films through there tone of voice used with each other, the way the characters have a friendly nature to each other, the actions of body language that show that they all get along and the honesty in each character from both films. Mateship was shown in crocodile Dundee with Mick’s happy nature and kind attitude. Mateship was shown in red dog with the way the town all came together to keep red dog out of trouble. These
The similarities begin with the creation stories, although these similarities are very minimal. In both the Christian creation story, Genesis, and in many accounts of the

In my Opinion I found The Most Dangerous Game better, of course they were both great stories but The Most Dangerous Game was more action filled. I liked how Sanger Rainsford used his skills to in the end beat General Zaroff.
The American Alligator is an amazing reptile, having survived almost unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs. Having been hunted almost for extinction, this reptile has made an amazing comeback in recent years. Inhabiting almost every body of water in Florida. American alligator are not considered endangered species, but these harsh looking creatures are threatened.
