Bats can be found on all continents except Antarctica and live in a variety of habitats. Many bats roost in trees, caves, or man-made structures. They play an important role in ecosystems by eating insects, fruit, nectar, pollen, and small fish. Bats use echolocation, smell, and vision to locate different types of food. Their large ears, nose, eyes, claws, and wings help bats survive and find resources in their environments.

Classification of animals (invertebrates)
i made this ppt, through the help of my previous collage professors. most of the pictures are from sir and maam evangelista, thanks to them!
Birds' beaks
The document discusses how different types of birds have evolved to have specialized beak shapes that help them obtain different foods. It provides examples of woodpeckers having strong straight beaks for extracting insects from trees, hens having short conical beaks with sharp edges for cracking seeds, eagles having strong hooked beaks for tearing meat, pelicans having large beaks with pouch-like membranes and hooks for catching fish, and hummingbirds having very long thin beaks for reaching nectar in flowers.
LSUMNS bird activity
This document discusses bird beak adaptations for feeding. It explains that a bird's beak shape is determined by its diet and can be used to identify birds and infer their feeding behaviors. Common beak shapes include cracker, shredder, probe, chisel, strainer, and spear beaks. Examples are then given of several birds' beak shapes and how they correspond to the birds' diets, including pelicans using their pouch to catch fish, wood ducks having notched beaks to eat plants and insects from water surfaces, and hummingbirds having long, thin beaks to access nectar in tubular flowers.
Birds project - collection and identification of birds
This project report summarizes a study of avian biodiversity in Bhilai Nagar, Durg, India. 22 different bird species were observed between October 2019 and February 2020 including the magpie, peacock, koel, baya bird, cock, pigeon, hen, roller, parrot, crow, duck, house sparrow, laughing dove, myna, cattle egret, hoopoe, great egret, green bee-eater, eagle owl, black drango, purple sunbird, and ostrich. Each bird species is described along with information on appearance, habitat, diet, nesting and other characteristics. The objective was to document avian diversity in the area through field observations and identification
Insects
The document discusses the insect phylum and provides details about an insect seeking a mate. It describes that to attract the insect's attention, a potential mate needs to wear bright colors, compose a cricket sonnet, or give off sensual odors. It also outlines some key facts about insects such as that they live in many habitats, their activities often involve eating or hiding from predators, and they have adaptations like flight, segmentation, and sensory organs that help them survive.
Invertebrates
The document describes several types of invertebrates including sponges, jellyfish, worms, mollusks, and arthropods. Sponges have no organs or ability to move but live in oceans. Jellyfish have tentacles, mouths, and live on ocean floors. Worms can regrow parts and come in varieties like flatworms, roundworms, and segmented worms. Mollusks like snails and octopuses make shells and live in water or on land. Arthropods are the largest invertebrate group and include crustaceans, arachnids, insects, centipedes and millipedes which have exoskeletons and sensory organs.
Frog Anatomy and morphology
Amphibians can live both on land and in water, having evolved from lobe-finned fish. Frogs are a type of amphibian that undergo a metamorphosis from an aquatic larval stage to a terrestrial adult. As cold-blooded animals, frogs have adaptations like thin, moist skin and the ability to hibernate or estivate to survive in changing environments.

Invertebrates
The document discusses various types of invertebrate animals. It describes their characteristics such as lacking backbones, having exoskeletons, tentacles, shells, legs or segments. Some examples provided include sponges, jellyfish, worms, snails, insects and arachnids such as spiders. Invertebrates make up 97% of the animal kingdom and live in a variety of environments on land and in water.
Unit2 animals
This document provides information about classifying and describing different types of animals. It begins by introducing the concepts of vertebrates and invertebrates. It then discusses how animals can be further classified based on their skeleton, how they are born, and what they eat. The document provides examples of different animal groups like mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, mollusks and worms. It includes activities for students to apply their understanding by identifying, grouping, describing and researching various animals.
Frog vs toad
Frogs have smooth skin that always looks wet, they lose moisture easily so are usually found near water, and have long legs and webbed feet that allow them to jump. Toads have rough, dry skin with warts, their skin is more waterproof so they can live farther from water, and they have shorter legs so they hop rather than jump and have broader features with a dumpy appearance.
Unit 2-vertebrates-converted
1) Scientists found remains of dinosaurs that had wings and feathers, showing that birds evolved from dinosaurs. Fish were the first animals on Earth and all other animals evolved from fish.
2) Amphibians like frogs go through metamorphosis, starting as tadpoles that breathe through gills and live in water, then developing lungs and legs to live on land as adults.
3) Reptiles like snakes and turtles breathe through lungs and lay eggs but do not care for their young. They have scaly skin and some have shells or scales.
All about frogs!.ppt
Frogs are amphibians that live both on land and in water. They have short bodies, webbed fingers or toes, protruding eyes, and lack tails. Most species live in rainforests and all over the world except Antarctica and some islands. Many frogs use camouflage to hide and some can change colors. Poisonous frogs often have bright colors and obtain toxins from their diets to deter predators. Frogs eat insects and small animals, going through a life cycle from egg to tadpole to adult. They communicate through loud calls to find mates and mark territory.
Invertebrates
Invertebrates are animals without backbones. They make up most species on Earth and live on land, in water, and in the soil. Invertebrates can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. Some major groups of invertebrates are mollusks, arthropods, worms, jellyfish, sponges, and starfish. Mollusks include snails and octopuses, while arthropods contain the largest number of species, such as insects and arachnids.
Unit 1-invertebrates summary-converted
This document provides an overview of invertebrates, describing their key characteristics and how they are classified. It notes that invertebrates do not have an internal skeleton, and explores some of the main types including sponges, jellyfish, worms, arthropods, and molluscs. Arthropods are described as the largest and most important group of invertebrates, having an external skeleton and many legs. Within arthropods, insects are discussed in more detail, noting their three-part body structure.
Invertebrates class ppt
Scientists classify animals into groups based on similarities to make the large number of species more organized. Vertebrates have backbones while invertebrates do not, and major invertebrate groups include jellyfish, flatworms, roundworms, segmented worms, mollusks, starfish, sea urchins, and arthropods such as crustaceans, insects, spiders, and centipedes/millipedes. Arthropods can be further divided based on traits like number of body segments, legs, and wings.
Unit 1. kingdom spptx
This document discusses the classification of living things into kingdoms, including animal, plant, fungi, and protist kingdoms. It focuses on the invertebrate and vertebrate animal kingdoms. Invertebrates are divided into molluscs, jellyfish, sponges, echinoderms, annelids, and arthropods. Vertebrates are divided into mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Key characteristics like respiration, nutrition, and reproduction are described for each group.
Unit 2
Vertebrates are classified into five groups: mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and amphibians. Mammals are distinguished by having hair, lungs, viviparous reproduction and milk production. Reptiles have scales and lay eggs, fish breathe with gills and lay eggs, birds have feathers and lungs and lay eggs, and amphibians undergo metamorphosis from gills to lungs and lay eggs.
Invertebrates are classified into several phyla including molluscs with shells, coelenterates with tentacles, poriferans with pores, echinoderms with spikes, arthropods with exoskeletons, and annelids with segmented bodies
Invertebrates presentation
This document summarizes key invertebrate groups. It describes porifera as aquatic animals that filter water through two openings. Cnidaria are divided into jellyfish and polyps, and have stinging cells in their tentacles. Annelids include polychaetes, tubifids worms, and hirudineans. Molluscs such as gastropods, cephalopods, and bivalves have a soft body protected by a shell. Arthropods include crustaceans, myriapods, arachnids, and insects. Echinoderms are marine animals that move slowly along the seafloor.
Animals
This document provides information about the characteristics and classification of animals. It discusses that animals are multicellular organisms that cannot make their own food and most can move. Animals are classified into two main groups - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones and are further divided into classes including jawless fish, bony fish, cartilaginous fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Invertebrates do not have backbones and are segmented into groups including flatworms/roundworms, segmented worms, cnidarians, porifera, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods.
Classification of animals
This document classifies and describes the key characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates include mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians, and can be found around the world. They are divided into groups based on traits like whether they lay eggs, have feathers or fur, breathe through lungs or gills, and how they regulate their body temperature. Invertebrates make up 97% of animal species and lack backbones, including insects, worms, sponges, jellyfish, starfish, mollusks and arthropods. They are grouped by their exoskeleton, body structure and environment.

Mike
Frogs mate through amplexus, where the male climbs onto the female's back. The female then lays many eggs in masses in water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles develop legs and lungs over several weeks before transforming into juvenile frogs. Frogs play an important role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey. However, the chytrid fungus poses a disease threat to amphibian populations worldwide.
Esquema invertebrates
Mollusks have soft bodies that they use to move along the ground or through water. Cnidaria are aquatic animals found in both freshwater and marine environments. Arthropods make up the largest group of invertebrates and have an external skeleton and many legs to protect their body.
Animal Studies Review
The document discusses different types of invertebrates including sponges, jellyfish, worms, mollusks, and arthropods. Sponges have no organs and cannot move but stink. Jellyfish and anemones have stinging tentacles and live on the ocean floor. Worms can regrow parts and come in various sizes. Mollusks like snails and octopuses have soft bodies and shells. Arthropods include crustaceans like crabs, arachnids like spiders, and insects with three body sections and six legs.
Classification of Animals
This document outlines the classification of living things, dividing them into broad groups. It discusses animals in detail, separating them into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates include mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and have backbones, while invertebrates like insects do not. Within vertebrates, it describes characteristics of different types of mammals like humans, characteristics of birds like feathers and wings, how fish breathe through gills and swim with fins, how reptiles have scales and are cold-blooded, and how amphibians live both on land and in water. It also briefly covers plants, fungi and bacteria.
Bat report for ariel hyers
Bats are omnivorous mammals that eat plants, animals, insects, and small vertebrates. They are nocturnal hunters that use echolocation to navigate and find prey in darkness. While most bat species eat insects, some tropical bats eat fruit and nectar, and three species drink blood. Bats face threats from habitat loss as forests are cut down and caves destroyed, as well as direct killing from humans for food, medicine, and out of misunderstanding. Conservation efforts aim to protect bat populations and combat myths that contribute to their endangerment.

Animals That Lay Eggs (with Pictures).pdf
Organisms have different methods of reproduction. To tell the truth, these different reproductive methods are the factors that divide animals into two categories: viviparous and oviparous animals. But more on that in a bit, here's a blog on the many different animals that lay eggs!
Do you want to know about animals that lay eggs?
Nature's way of maintaining the ecological balance on earth is something special. For example, Mother Nature has endowed living animals with the ability to go through the process of labor to directly give birth to their own kind.
Whereas, oviparous animals lay eggs that give birth to young as soon as they hatch.
Now, if you are stuck wondering because nature has allocated different reproductive processes to different animals, then we are just as clueless as you!
However, you can acknowledge the fact that every process created by nature is purposeful. For example, if nature has given birds the ability to lay eggs to produce their offspring, it may be for their own benefit.
The main reason for this is that birds cannot fly while carrying the weight of their young. By laying their eggs in a remote location, they thereby safeguard both themselves and their offspring.
We also understand how interested you are in learning about the ovoid animal species.
So, read on to know more about the complex egg-laying process and a description of the top 13 animals that lay eggs.
Animals That Lay Eggs
If we were to list all oviparous animals, you would get tired of reading the never-ending list!
A large number of prominent species in the animal kingdom are oviparous, including insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and even some mammals.
So, if you are ready to know about 13 animals that lay eggs, connect with us!
Birds
Birds are the first members of our list of animals that lay eggs. Birds are the most lively and colorful species of the animal kingdom, somewhat related to the ancient family of reptiles, the dinosaurs.
They are a very unique creation of nature because they are the only animals with feathers that are known to exist on Earth. These warm-blooded vertebrates are also known to be closest to reptiles due to the rough shape of their feet.
The largest birds alive today are the North African ostriches, which can reach 9 feet in height and weigh up to 350 pounds. The ostrich egg is the largest of any other bird species.
On the other hand, the smallest extant birds are Cuban native hummingbirds weighing less than 3 grams.
Also, the bird's feathers make them stand out among every other species.
However, having wings does not guarantee a bird's ability to fly. There are several flightless birds, including penguins, kiwis and ostriches, which, although they have wings, cannot fly due to some evolution that took place over the years.
Also, bird eggs have a hard shell that ensures safety and are laid in secluded areas like bird nests, such as a treetop or an abandoned room. The parents fulfill the responsibility of taking care it...
Frogs.
Designed for kids to learn about frogs and their life cycles, as well as their habitats, characteristics, diet, etc.
Special mention of a few native New Zealand Frogs is made.
Natural science 4º a
All living things carry out the life processes of nutrition, respiration, and reproduction, but do so in different ways. Living things can be divided into plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria and archaea. Plants make their own food, cannot move, and reproduce sexually or asexually by seeds or spores. Animals consume other organisms for food, can move and sense their environment, and reproduce sexually. Fungi feed on dead or living organisms, have complex structures made of threads, and reproduce sexually or asexually by spores.
Vertebrates
- Most fish breathe through gills and have skeletons made of bone or cartilage. They propel themselves through water using tail fins and other fins. Fish come in a wide variety of sizes, from less than an inch to over 60 feet long.
- Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates covered in scales that lay eggs. Examples are crocodiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, and tortoises. They are often cold-blooded and regulate temperature behaviorally.
- Birds are feathered flying animals with wings, beaks, and lightweight skeletons adapted for flight. Their respiratory and skeletal systems are specialized for flying.
Flying Fox
Fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, are bats that eat fruit, flowers, and nectar. They belong to the group Chiroptera and have wings formed from an elongated hand with a thin membrane between the fingers. There are over 173 species of fruit bats found in tropical regions worldwide, ranging dramatically in size, from the smallest fitting in a human palm to the largest with a 5.5 foot wingspan. Fruit bats roost in various locations like trees, caves, or tents made from plants.
Classificationofanimals
This document provides a classification of animals, dividing them into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates include mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians, which are further defined by their key characteristics such as how they reproduce, regulate body temperature, breathe and move. Invertebrates make up 97% of the animal kingdom and lack backbones, including sponges, corals, jellyfish, worms, starfish, mollusks, arthropods and insects. They are grouped according to their physical traits and structures.
Reptiles Life Science 15 4
Reptiles first appeared nearly 280 million years ago and include turtles, crocodiles, and lizards and snakes. They have dry scaly skin, lay amniotic eggs with membranes to protect embryos, and show little maternal care once eggs are laid. Modern reptiles descended from early reptiles and vary widely in size, shape, color, habitat, diet, and behavior.
Order Edentata or Xenarthra
This document discusses the order Xenarthra, which includes sloths, anteaters, and armadillos. Xenarthrans are found primarily in Central and South America. They have few to no teeth, highly flexible backbones, and emphasize smell over other senses. Sloths live in trees and eat leaves with symbiotic bacteria in their stomachs. Anteaters have elongated snouts and tongues for catching insects. Armadillos consume invertebrates, plants, and small vertebrates and can hold their breath underwater for up to six minutes.
Kindoms
This document outlines the 5 kingdoms of life: Bacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals. It provides details about each kingdom, including that bacteria are microorganisms found everywhere, the animal kingdom is split into vertebrates with backbones and invertebrates without, mammals are warm-blooded and bear live young, reptiles lay eggs and have scales, and plants can be divided into flowering and non-flowering groups. It also notes key characteristics of protists, fungi, and the differences between vascular and non-vascular plants.
Habitats
A habitat provides animals and plants with food and shelter. Most species are specially adapted to their particular habitat through features that help them survive. These adaptations can include camouflage to avoid predators, streamlined bodies for aquatic animals, and traits like thick fur or fat layers that help cold climate species retain heat. Habitats involve complex relationships where plants and animals depend on each other for food, shelter, reproduction, and other needs.
animalkingdom
The document classifies and describes different types of animals. It divides animals into invertebrates, which lack backbones, and vertebrates, which have backbones. Invertebrates include protozoa, annelids, arthropods like insects and crustaceans, echinoderms, and mollusks. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and primates like humans. Within these groups it describes characteristics of common animals such as starfish, earthworms, spiders, whales, and mice.
ANIMALS.pptx
This document provides an overview of different animal species from around the world. It begins by discussing the diversity of animal breeds and characteristics. It then examines key groups like mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. Some specifics covered include mammals giving birth and nursing their young, while birds lay eggs. It also looks at predators that hunt other animals and herbivores that feed on plants. Finally, it profiles 10 unusual animal species, ranging from the poodle moth to the Japanese spider crab.
Characteristics And Characteristics Of The Species
The document provides information about two parasites: Toxoplasma gondii and Enterobius vermicularis. Both are classified as protists and parasites that derive nutrition from their hosts. While T. gondii infects many warm-blooded animals and causes the disease toxoplasmosis, E. vermicularis is commonly known as the pinworm and specifically infects humans, causing enterobiasis. A key difference is that T. gondii infects various tissues throughout the body, while E. vermicularis infects the gastrointestinal tract.
Reptiles
Reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates with dry, scaly skin covered in scales. They lay amniotic eggs with membranes that protect the embryo and allow for gas exchange. Reptiles first appeared 280 million years ago and dominated during the Mesozoic era. Modern reptiles include turtles, crocodiles and alligators, and lizards and snakes. While most reptiles show no care for their eggs, crocodiles are very maternal and protect their hatchlings.

It defines vertebrates as having backbones and lists the five classifications as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates do not have backbones and include protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. It provides examples such as sharks, poison arrow frogs, crocodiles, hummingbirds, and blue whales to illustrate vertebrate classifications and paramecium, earthworms, starfish, octopuses, and shrimp to illustrate invertebrate classifications.
Classification of Mammals
This document provides information about the classification and characteristics of mammals. It begins with an overview of the infraclass Eutheria, or placental mammals, noting the key role of the placenta in allowing longer gestation. It then details three orders of mammals as examples: Insectivora, Xenarthra, and Chiroptera (bats). For each order, it describes general physical traits, habitat, behavior and other distinguishing characteristics. The document concludes with an overview of the order Primates, their traits and suborders.
Bird Adaptations Beaks
Bird beaks have evolved to be specialized for different types of food. The toucan's strong beak can crack nuts and fruit, while the hummingbird's long thin beak sips nectar from flowers. The pelican uses its large beak to scoop up fish, and the woodpecker's chisel-like beak drills into trees for insects. Darwin observed finches on the Galapagos Islands that had varied beak sizes and shapes adapted to the local foods on their islands, providing early evidence of evolution through natural selection.

Science fair method
This document summarizes methods for quantifying and measuring odor, including dilution-to-threshold techniques, ranking methods, referencing methods, and emerging electronic nose technologies. Dilution-to-threshold is the most widely accepted current method, where odorous air is diluted with odorless air until a human panel can detect it. Ranking and referencing methods also rely on human panels comparing odor intensities. Emerging methods aim to develop more objective electronic techniques, such as identifying surrogate odor compounds and using sensor arrays to mimic the human sense of smell. However, fully replacing human assessment remains challenging due to the complex nature of odor perception.

She asks Collins about her inspiration for the story and characters, how long it took to write the first book, and if fans often ask for her autograph. Ineen hopes to become a writer herself one day.
My day at the wave pools
Tegan and Ineen went to the Wave Pools in Papakura on a rainy day to get out of the weather. They purchased hydroslide and swimming passes and went on the hydroslide multiple times, enjoying being splashed with water around corners despite not being able to see. They had fun going on the slide with their friends Connor and Jessica but eventually had to go home, concluding it was an awesome day.

Homework week 4&5 term 1
- 1. Bats
- 2. Where do they live? Bats can be found in all parts of the world but not inccj very, very hot places or really cold areas and on some remote islands. They live on all continents except Antarctica. You can find more species of bats where the weather is nice and warm. On islands that are far from continents, there are only a few species of bats. That's because it's too far for most bats to fly this great distance to reach those islands.
- 3. What Kind Of Food Do They Eat? Fruit-eating bats prefer ripe fruit. As they fly they drop seeds which can grow into new trees. Bats that like to eat nectar pick up pollen. By going from flower to flower, bats help make new plants. Meat eating bats use vision, echolocation and sounds from their prey to help locate their food. Fishing bats grab little fish out of the water with their claws. Echolocation is used to find this food.
- 4. What Kind Of Habitat Do They Have? Many bats find trees to be the perfect place to roost and spend time taking care of their babies. Some bats actually live under big leaves and by using camouflage they can hide from harm and danger. There are other bats that roost under the bark of trees, while still others just hang from the branches. Perhaps the place where most people think bats live is in caves. And a lot of bats do find these big underground caverns a perfect place in which to raise their babies and to sleep during the day. Bracken Cave in Texas has close to 20 million Mexican Free Tail bats living there. At times bats may use houses or buildings as a roosting site. Even though these places are not as good as their natural habitats, these man- made structures do offer them protection and are much like their preferred roosts.
- 5. What Do Bats Really Look Like? EARS: Bats have very good hearing. They use it for finding food and locating their babies. For insect and fish eaters, the big ears help with echolocation. Usually, echoes are received by funnel- shaped ears that face forward. NOSE: The sense of smell is well developed in most bats. It is used to find and identify certain foods and to recognize roost mates and young. Fruit eating bats can find their food by the smell of the ripening fruit. Nectar seeking bats gather pollen on their snout, and by going from flower to flower help create new plants. EYES: Bats are not blind! For example, flying fox bats have very good eyesight and they use their eyes along with their excellent sense of smell to help find food in the dark. Bats' eyes are better at seeing in the dark. Most see objects only in black and white, but color vision is known to exist in some old world fruit bats. FEET: With their strong claws, bats are able to hang upside down in their roosts. Fishing bats also use their claws to scoop up the fish they will eat. HANDS AND WINGS: Bats fly by using their hands and wings. While the wings are flapping, bats can go up or down by moving the membrane between the body and fifth finger. This is called "lift." Bats move forward (called "thrust") by changing the shape of the membrane between the second and fifth fingers.
