dry, scaly skin
tail for swimming
limbs crawl and climb
mouth - teeth, bony ridges
14
Q
birds
A
wings
nostrils to lungs
feathers - flight & endothermy (insulation)
beak (no bone/teeth)
15
Q
mammals
A
PINNA on ear (sound detection) whiskers sensitive to touch/vibration fur - endothermy mouth - teeth allow different foods penis - internal fertilization
