ExcretionExcretion

• Homeostasis: maintaining balance, internal conditions (in the case of fish, water balance)

• Salt water fish tend to lose water• Fresh water fish tend to gain water

• *This is why you can’t put a salt water fish in a fresh water tank.

AmphibiansAmphibians

• Amphibian- means “double life”– Why?

•After beginning their lives in water, most amphibians spend their adulthood on land, returning to water to reproduce. (Lose gills and acquire lungs)

– Contour: one of the large feathers that give shape to a bird’s body.

– Flight: long contour feathers that extend beyond the body on the wings and tail.

– Down: short, fluffy that are specialized to trap heat and keep a bird warm.

• Create a Venn Diagram- characteristics of reptiles, similarities, characteristics of birds. Then come up with your own explanation of the evolution of birds.

The evolutionary origin of birds has always been a subject of considerable debate. Birds and flying reptiles have delicate, lightweight skeletons which do not fossilize well - hindering studies on how the birds evolved. The first bird fossil to be found was a feather, which was discovered in 1860 in a limestone quarry in Bavaria. The feather was given the name Archaeopteryx, which is Greek for 'ancient feather'. A year later an almost complete skeleton of Archaeopteryx was discovered in the same quarry, with the feathers and other fine structures preserved in minute detail.

The skeleton showed several features which are intermediate between reptiles and birds, suggesting that Archaeopteryx and the other birds evolved from a dinosaur similar to the Velociraptor featured in the film 'Jurassic Park'. Seven partial or complete Archaeopteryx skeletons have now been found, and they are still among the most famous, and scientifically valuable, fossils.
