I think its from cowboys...the things they wear on cowboy boots are called spurs. They were renamed by Angelo Drossos and Red McCombs. Spurs...cowboys i guess its supposed to be synonymous to Texas? \n\n\n"A spur is a metal instrument composed of a shank, neck, and prick, rowel (sharp-toothed wheel), or blunted end fastened to the heel of a horsemans boot for the purpose of goading the horse"(from wikipedia)

Those are the charactistics by which a species is defined by taxonomists, the people who classify plants and animals.\n\nGenerally, a species is defined by those characteristics that the entire species has, not those that vary greatly among individuals.  They must also be characteristics that are different from other species.  So, for example, you might count the number of bones in a particular body part, or the position of the eyes relative to the rest of the face, or whatever.  Sometimes it is a behavior characteristic, but usually it is one shaped by a physical characteristic.  \n\nTry it on dogs, to see for yourself.  There are many breeds of dogs, and their hair, their shape and size, etc., vary greatly.  You can't use those.  They have four legs and a tail, but so do lots of animals other than dogs.  But dogs have a unique ventilation system, in that instead of sweating all over, they hang out their tongues and pant to get rid of excess moisture.  I am not enough of a taxonomist to give you all the details, but you could look them up.  Be prepared to discover, as I did when I read a book all about dogs, that several animals which have different names are also dogs in the scientific sense of being members of the species.  (Dang!  My cheap new dictionary does not give the Latin names.)

none.  They are mollusks.  They do have those hard little beaks, but those are not bones any more than a bird's beak is a bone.

Yes;\n\n'Hippopotamus' means 'river horse', which is what Greeks called this powerful beast. Ancient Egyptians, guessing more correctly, called it 'river pig'\n\nThe artiodactyls are even-toed placental mammals with hooves. Within this group, pigs, peccaries and hippopotamuses make up the suborder Suiformes (from the Greek: with the shape of a pig). The hippopotamus is genetically related to the pig.

I think it may help to clarify what the other 2 posters have said, as they have 'clouded' the issue a bit:\n\nThey lack external ears, have a diapsid skull (two openings on either side), and posess a "parietal eye" on the top of their head. Other lizards also have this "third-eye," which contains a retina and is functionally similar to a normal eye, though the function has not been clearly recognized and a scale grows over it in adult tuataras.\n\nAs it contains an actual retna, it can infact see.  But, to what extent, who knows.
