[Radioman34]

Thank you Chya

[junee]

Chia. Thank you,I sure learn from these quizzes 

[angelface555]

Rick, I Googled your question and along with lots and lots of extraneous information, all answers said yes, birds are animals. If not animals, are you thinking reptiles? Although they have a type of "antifreeze" in their feet which allows them to perch on cold props, they still do not regulate their body temperatures with the outside temperatures and have been known to freeze to death.


Also, thank you for the quiz, Chia!

[Chia]

you are welcome, Junee, Radioman and Angel

[so_P_bubble]

Angel, would tadpoles be classified as animals? They don't walk on their legs before turning to frogs.
And rabbits hop, don't walk!   Semantics of course.

Thanks Chaia, a good one!

[RAMMEL]

I don't know where birds "belong", but I didn't think of them as animals.  In which case, we have loads of wild animals here in the City.   

[Chia]

Thankyou Rammel for your thought provoking comment...and also thanks to Bubble

[angelface555]

Rick, after reading your post, I turned the question around and Googled, "Are birds a sub species of reptile?"

This is one of the answers I found, even though birds do not regulate their heat with the outside temperatures. "Modern non-avian reptiles inhabit every continent with the exception of Antarctica (If birds are classed as reptiles, then all continents are inhabited.) Several living subgroups are recognized: Testudines (turtles, terrapins and tortoises), approximately 400 species;[1] Sphenodontia (tuatara from New Zealand), 1 species;[1][2] Squamata (lizards, snakes, and worm lizards), over 9,600 species;[1] Crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials, caimans, and alligators), 25 species;[1] and Aves (birds), 10,000 species.[1] Because some reptiles are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles (crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards), many modern scientists prefer to make Reptilia a monophyletic grouping and so also include the birds, which today contain over 10,000 species.
