### animal:

Fertilized egg
* are deposited in multiple pockets within the redd over a span of several days
  - the soil in cocoons
  - eggs that have joined with sperm cells
  - enclosed in a cocoon and hatch in two to three weeks
  - held in a sac against the urosome of the female
* are laid in holes in the ground
  - singly and are usually attached to aquatic plants
  - more resistant to drying out than unfertilized eggs
* are released as floating masses
  - in long strings
  - retained brooded over winter for dispersal in the spring plankton bloom
  - safe to eat
* become female workers, while unfertilized eggs become males
  - female, and are diploid
  - hatchlings, then tadpoles, then adult frogs
* cleave many times to give rise to multicellular organisms.
* develop quickly depending upon the temperature of the pool water
  - rapidly into ciliated larvae
* develope into non-feeding larvae which metamorphose and settle.
* develops inside female gametangia and is thus protected
  - into a sporophyte
* grow into larvae called planulae.
* hatch after about fifteen days
  - into free-swimming trochophore larvae
* is an animal
* join together in a mass, held together with adhesive produced by the female.
* lie dormant until denning.
* remain in the gills until the larvae develop.
* result in female offspring, either workers or queens.
* surrounds itself with a wall and becomes oospore.
* undergo several larval stages before they turn into adult sea cucumbers.

### animal:

Few animal
* achieve full adulthood.
* appear to consume live emergent macrophytes directly.
* are as feared by humans as wolves
  - hungry as a shrew
  - capable of altering a landscape as much as the beaver
  - free from some kind of parasite
* can open their mouths as wide as hippos can
  - survive the attack of an angry gorilla
* display their moods via facial expressions as distinctively as cats.
* eat adult starfish, which are apparently neither palatable nor nutritious
  - high fat diets
  - spotted skunks except great horned owls and a host of tiny parasites
  - the healthy, adult rockweed plants
* escape invasion by some type of ameba.
* evoke such strong emotions in humans as snakes.
* go to college, except dogs that can kick field goals.
* graze directly on mangroves.
* have a better sense of smell than the whitetail
  - specific predator
  - eyesight as well developed as humans, although some do even surpass our abilities
  - molars strong enough to withstand all the grinding
* live here, and only a few plant species can survive in the acidic soil
  - in the bog, although many pass through it in search of food or shelter
* mate for life.
* prey on fishers other than humans.
* spark more emotional response from people than do dolphins.
* survive eating yew
  - if they depend on others for food and basic maintenance
* use mangroves as their only habitat.
+ Gorilla, Life: Hominids
  * When on the ground, they walk on their feet and finger knuckles. Troops of gorillas wander slowly through the forests of Central Africa. For about half of their day they search for leaves, vines, and bamboo shoots to eat. For the rest of the day, they lay in the sun and play with their children. If another gorilla threatens them, the troop's leader, the silverback, protects them by rearing up and beating his chest. Few animals can survive the attack of an angry gorilla.

Fewer animal
* are intolerant of rice than they are of wheat, corn or soy.
* create less impact on the land.
* live in the cold desert.
* means fewer mouths to feed.
* reduce impact on the environment.
* use the high salt marsh for food.

Fossorial animal
* are adapted to living underground.
* dig burrows, bore into the soil, or construct tunnels.

Freshwater animal
* Most freshwater animals have concentration.
* Some freshwater animals have expectancy
  - life expectancy
  - lose salt
