Re: Herpetology B/C
It's been a bit more than a week, so I thought I'd go ahead and post some new questions and get this going again.
1. What genus and family does this specimen belong to?
2. Is the specimen an adult, or juvenile?
3. Define neotenic.
4. Name two states this genus is found in.
5. Describe the diet of this genus.

2. Juvenile???
3. Does not undergo metamorphism (I hope I spelled that right)
4. Georgia, NC
5. Small fish, insects, spiders, amphibians

1. Correct!Froggie wrote:1. Necturus, ProteidaeMissAmargasaurus wrote:It's been a bit more than a week, so I thought I'd go ahead and post a some new questions and get this going again.

2. I believe the picture is an adult, although the distinction is hard to see.
3. That's very close! Neotenic is when larval traits are kept into adulthood (such as gills). Alternatively, it's when the species reaches sexual maturity in the larval stage (like axolotls,
who are permanently larval).
4. Correct!
5. Also correct partially! My own notes don't mention amphibians or fish (although I find fish plausible) but all others are right. You get to post the next set of questions!

Re: Herpetology B/C
He was saying that you probably should have picked a picture that doesn't clearly show the answer to one of the questions (I assume this is what it does when it's scared, though I haven't studied anything about snakes yet).Froggie wrote:I don’t know if that’s sarcasm or not, especially with a frowny faceScottMaurer19 wrote:I obviously knew thatFroggie wrote: That’s part of one of the answers
