How Frogs and Toads are Alike







Ears
Vocal cords
How Frogs and Toads are Different
Frogs

REPTILES






Thick, dry skin
Ectotherms
Lungs to breathe
Evolved 35 mya
Strong vertical legs
Most lay thick rubbery eggs. This allows
them to reproduce on land
Reptile eggs





Shell - protects the egg
Albumen – provides water and protein
Amniotic sac - protects embryo
Yolk - provides food
Allantois – stores waste and passes oxygen
Labeling the egg
Lizards




About 4,000 species
Live in deserts, jungle, forests and
grasslands
Most eat small invertebrates and plants but
some are strictly herbivores
The tail of some lizards separate from the
body when the lizard is grabbed. The tail that
is left behind wriggles, confusing the other
animal.
Turtles and Tortoises





250 species

Are distant relatives of most other reptiles
Snakes




About 1600 species
No legs
Scales on belly pull
snake forward
Carnivores with a good
sense of smell
Alligators and Crocodiles




Eyes and nose on top of head so they can
hide under water
Carnivores
Spend most of their time in water

Birds



Endotherms (warm-blooded)
Egg-laying vertebrates
4 types
-perching birds – sparrows, robins etc.
-bird of prey- owls, hawks etc.
-waterfowl – ducks, geese etc.
-flightless- penguins, ostrich etc.
Feathers




Adapted for flight
Contour feathers –
large, broad
Down – small, used for
insulation
Not all birds fly
Adaptations


Beak – cracking, drilling
Feet – wading, scratching
Which food goes with which
bird?
A few feet

good for perching

good for swimming

good for capturing prey
Respiration


Air sacs
- give constant oxygen (fuel)
- give enough energy for flight
lungs
Circulation

Double-loop circulatory system keeps
oxygenated blood separate from deoxygenated blood
Bones


Birds have “hollow” bone that makes them
lightweight
Have trusses inside bone for strength
Complex Behaviors


Song
- protects territory
- mating
- calling
Migrate
Flight adaptations







Feathers and wings
Hollow bones
Keel and strong flight muscles
Large eyes
Increased heart rate
Increased respiration
High body temperature

Class Mammalia
Characteristics of all Mammals




Hair
Mammary Glands and a diaphragm
Most Sweat
Endothermic
Three Classes



Monotremes
Marsupials
Placental
MonotremesEchidnas and duck billed platypus


Egg laying – leathery eggs
“furred reptiles” - Babies lick milk from
mother’s fur
Marsupials






Pouched
Inside pouches are mammary glands
Infants are born not fully developed and move to
pouch to finish development
Different age babies can live in pouch at the same
time
Live mostly in Australia, New Guinea, and South
America
Kangaroos, opossums, koalas, Tasmanian devils,
wallabies
Placental








Most mammals are placental
Embryos stay inside mother until fully developed
Babies are born like smaller adults
Placenta supplies food and oxygen
Placenta are special attachments from embryo to uterus
Placenta also removes waste
Gestation period is the time it takes for an embryo to develop
Gestation ranges from a few weeks to almost 2 years
depending on the species
Toothless Mammals




Only anteaters are
completely toothless.
The rest have small
teeth
Catch insects with long,
sticky tongues

gnawing
Lagomorphs (rabbits)



