### animal:

Tunicate
* All tunicates are hermaphroditic, and are often self-fertile
  - can perform sexual reproduction
* Most tunicates are hermaphrodites
  - hermaphroditic with separate gonads
  - sessile, barrel-shaped, filter feeding animals that live on the sea bottom
  - thought to live about one year as adults
  - go through life
* Most tunicates have ability
  - notochords
  - predators
  - testes
* Most tunicates possess characteristic features
* Some tunicates exist in oceans
  - have characteristics
* Some tunicates have female organs
  - reproductive organs
  - pharynxs
  - skin
  - types
  - wrinkle skin
  - yellowish skin
  - lead a planktonic existence throughout their lives
* Some tunicates live in shallow water
* Some tunicates possess characteristics
  - common characteristics
  - use cilia
* are a sessile or mobile organism
  - also the only animals able to create cellulose
  - chordates named for the colorful tunic-like covering the adults have
* are filter feeders that live in salt water
  - filter-feeding marine organisms with a very simple body plan
  - hermaphroditic, with ovary and testis usually maturing at the same time
  - highly invasive and can become a significant problem in short order
* are named for the cloaklike tunics that support their saclike bodies
  - their protective covering, known as a tunic
  - plankton feeders
  - protected by a tough covering called a tunic
  - sea creatures encased by tough membranes, reminiscent of tunics
  - served in seafood restaurants in Chile
  - sessile, marine organisms
  - small marine chordates that eat plankton they filter from the water
  - very interesting small marine animals
  - what are known as marine suspension feeders
* can be very brightly colored
  - form large colonies, or simply live by themselves
  - reproduce asexually and sexually
* catch meals.
* contain no lignin.
* differ strongly in appearance between the adult and the larva.
* have a highly developed blood-vascular system with a heart
* have an average life span of one to three years
  - incurrent siphon and an excurrent siphon
* have the ability perform asexual as well as sexual reproduction
  - to perform asexual and sexual reproduction
  - two prominent openings, one for drawing water in, one for expelling water
  - unusual nuclear lamins with a large deletion in the carboxyterminal tail domain
* includes brains
  - cell membranes
  - cells
  - corpi
  - cytoplasm
  - faces
  - heads
  - nuclei
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
  - skulls
  - vacuoles
* occur throughout the world.
* sometimes form large colonies, where they all live together, very tightly.
* trap plankton with a specialized mucus net that lies over the gill slits.
* undergo a radical metamorphosis to form a sessile adult with few chordate characteristics.

### animal | tunicate:

Larval tunicate
* are free swimmers and possess all four chordate characteristics.
* differ from adults in all but one of the following ways.

Unaltered animal
* are generally the ones that are involved in bites.
* are three times more likely to bite than unaltered ones
* have more health problems than pets that have been spayed or neutered.

Unhealthy animal
* come from unhealthy conditions.
* mean unhealthy food and unhealthy human beings.

Untreated animal
* can develop chronic progressive arthritis.
* die of respiratory arrest or acute renal failure.

Vaccinated animal
* can become unsymptomatic carriers if exposed to the virus
  - still carry the virus and pass it on, without showing any symptoms
  - test positive for life
* carry the same antibodies as the sick.
* pose NO risk to human health.

Various animal
* Most various animals depend on diets
  - display differences
  - eat meat
* Some various animals eat seeds
  - feed on plankton
  - undergo metamorphosis
* appear in Africa
  - mong the flowers, some of which are the animal representations of the senses
* show a wide spectrum of emotions ranging from sorrow to joy.
