World of Animals

Product Information

Lying off the coast of East Africa is the island country of Madagascar. Separated from the mainland, it is home to many animals that are found nowhere else on Earth, including all 100 or so species of lemur. Fontaneto, Diego.

Animals from both groups possess a complete digestive tract, but in protostomes the first opening of the embryonic gut develops into the mouth, and the anus forms secondarily. In deuterostomes, the anus forms first while the mouth develops secondarily. [143] [144] Most protostomes have schizocoelous development, where cells simply fill in the interior of the gastrula to form the mesoderm. In deuterostomes, the mesoderm forms by enterocoelic pouching, through invagination of the endoderm. [145] a b "Fisheries and Aquaculture". FAO. Archived from the original on 19 May 2009 .

Some animals are capable of asexual reproduction, which often results in a genetic clone of the parent. This may take place through fragmentation; budding, such as in Hydra and other cnidarians; or parthenogenesis, where fertile eggs are produced without mating, such as in aphids. [38] [39] Ecology Predators, such as this ultramarine flycatcher ( Ficedula superciliaris), feed on other animals. With habitats ranging from its desert interior to coastal rainforests, Australia is home to many of the world’s most recognizable animals, including the koala, emu, platypus, dingo, Tasmanian devil and dugong; kangaroos and wallabies; wombats, possums, bandicoots; and goannas such as the perentie.
