Nimravids Skeleton vs Siberian Tiger Skeleton vs Smilodon Necator SkeltonCompare and contrast the appearance of specific bones in the skeleton. Compare the skeleton of the extinct creatures with the extant creature, and with themselves. How might the variation in anatomy link to the likely function? Compare species' skeletal anatomy based on life history (aquatic vs terrestrial). What are other interesting factors noted in the skeletons?

This fossil bird and this living salamander both have tails. However, they have different tail structures. The bird has a very short tail made of just one bone that helps it have a light skeleton for flying. The salamander has a long tail with many bones that helps it balance while it runs. What most likely explains why both the bird and salamander have tails and why the tails are different? a) The salamander and bird both inherited tails from a shared ancestor population, but this population separated into different environments. In each environment, different types of tails evolved, which helped the populations survive. It is impossible to explain the body structures of different species. The way that structures change over time is very complex, and no one has ever observed these changes occurring. The bird and salamander are different species, so they do not share an ancestor population. These species had separate ancestor populations, and each evolved a…arrow_forwardDescribe three important differences between the skeletons of the crayfish and the pig.arrow_forward
