Sorry, never heard of that one.  "Baby blue" is a very light shade of blue.  No idea what the dog bit might refer to.  Sorry....

The percentage is between 99% and 95% depending on exactly what is being measured.\n\nAnd no, we shouldn't look more similar. Consider a human compared to a bacterium as being the 1% end of the scale. Based on that isn't a human 99% similar to a chimp?  If you listed all the features of human, a chimp and bacterium wouldn’t humans and chimps share 99% of those features? Humans and chimps are astoundingly similar when you consider the great diversity of life out there. The differences between the species are very superficial. Far less than the differences between a horse and donkey.\n\nThe reason you think there are large differences is simply species bias. You use your species as the standard by which you judge. You can’t do that. You need to use a third unrelated species as your standard. When you do that you will see that there really are less than 5% of traits different between humans and chimps.

"nature vs. nurture" is an attempt to categorize and explain human behaviour. "Nature" refers to intrinsic characteristics of a person or animal, whereas "nurture" suggests that such characteristics or behaviours are a product of the environment in which one was raised. One example is the debate over pit bulls. Many argue that the pit bull is a "mean" breed of dog -- that its "nature" is to be aggressive and to attack animals and people. Others say that the pit bull is actually a wonderful dog, sweet, and great with kids. Those people would be on the "nurture" side of the fence -- they say that pit bulls can be raised and trained to be attack dogs, but that their nature is the same as any other dog. Moat behaviour is probably a combination of nature and nurture, with inherent qualities (nature) and acquired traits (nurture) making up any person (or animal!).

There is no rule about that, though it might be considered redundant in some situations.  Some puppies can be quite large, so to say "a small puppy" could just mean "small in comparison to what we usually think when we think 'puppy'".    \n\nEnglish is notorious for redundancies.  For example it is quite common to hear phrases such as "future plans", "killed him dead", "hot water heater", "safe haven", "past history", "free gift", "added bonus", etc.  English is probably not as restrictive about such usages as your language may be.

I don't know as for pigs specifically but the circulatory systems of most mammals should be broadly similar - there will merely be small differences in the structure of the haemoglobin between individual species. The main differences between foetal and normal circulatory systems have to do with the placental route, as the position of the components of the vascular system will be the same as postnatal. The placenta is the organ which allows oxygen from the mother's blood to pass through into the foetal blood, and waste products such as CO2 to pass from the foetal blood back into the mother's blood. It has a good blood supply and is attached to the uterine wall. It will come out as afterbirth at the end of labour. \n\nSo, when the mother's blood flows into the placenta it is oxygenated. The maternal and foetal blood does not mix but comes into contact on either side of a thin membrane which is oxygen permeable. The only way that the foetus is able to grab the oxygen from the maternal blood is because it has a special kind of haemolglobin, foetal haemoglobin (HbF) with a higher affinity for oxygen than adult haemoglobin (you might see some oxygen dissociation curves on this - the normal line should be shifted to the left). It also has a lower affinity for CO2. Therefore the HgF is able to 'grab' oxygen and release CO2 to the maternal HgA (adult).\n\nOnce the HgF has become oxygenated in the placenta it travels through the umbilical cord (which has two separate blood vessels, one from foetus to placenta, and one from placenta to foetus) and into the foetal blood stream. The main difference once inside the foetus itself is that when the blood travels through the heart it goes through a hole between the right atrium and left atrium called the foramen ovale and (mostly) does not pass through the ventricles. This hole mostly closes up just before birth (ie in the last few weeks of pregnancy) but in some babies this process is incomplete, leading hole-in-the-heart syndrome. This hole only occurs because the greater pressure caused by pumping through the ventricles is not needed in the smaller body of the foetus. Apart from that, the rest of the foetal circulatory system is pretty much the same as the adult, just smaller (obviously).\n\nAfter birth, the gene coding for HgF will be switched off and the instead HgA will be produced, allowing for the new demands of respirating autonomously.\n\nI did a quick search to see if there was a useful website to help you. I cite this below. It has some nice diagrams.

They're different so do both.\n\nI don't think you can directly compare the two.

While humans are animals there are few things that make us different from the other animals.  Much in the same way cats are different than dogs.\n\nPhysical (not all of these are unique to humans but the combination of all them is)  \nBrain size: brains take up a larger mass relative to size \nour thumbs\nwalk upright on two feet \nno fur (yes we have a little but not much)\nchildhood is much longer\n\nHumans are able to use abstract thoughts more proficiently than our animal cousins (math, art, language)\nWe can refine tools.  Other animals use tools, (chimps elephants) but they don't refine them.\nHumans can pass on information over many generations\n\nThis is not exclusive list, but I believe I have hit some of the most important points

Babies have higher metabolic rates, because their bodies are smaller. Smaller mammals have higher surface area/volume ratios with respect to larger individuals; thus they lose heat and water faster and burn more nutrients to compensate. In addition, babies are growing (so fast you can almost see them become larger), that's another factor that boosts metabolic rates.

It is how the dog is raised by the owner. Not all pit bulls act the same. Like I said depends on how the dog was raised. If you raise it to be mean the dog will be mean. And That is said about any dog not just pit bulls. I had a pit bull that took care of sick kittens just to show you that they are not all bad dogs.

none, only small brown dogs are born

Basically all mammals are genetically similar to humans. But some more so than others like dolphins and the great apes, i.e. Chimpanzees and gorillas of which we are 98% genetically identical.

They already are considered different species--even though they *are* genetically compatible (i.e., the hybrid is not sterile).  Some people believe that wolves and dogs are in the process of speciation--that is, they are becoming separate species, but haven't completely diverged yet.  Wolf-dog hybrids don't occur very often in nature because they have different social and mating patterns.  Nevertheless, if you stick a male and a female in heat together in a cage, eventually they're going to do it.

Human and animal diseases can be vastly different. Although both people and animals get the same kinds of diseases, (such as genetic disorders, cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems) a lot of them will not be exactly the same diseases. Diseases also vary as much from one animal to the next as from animals to humans. For example, horses might have illnesses related to the hoof whereas a cat obviously can't! However, most of the metabolic pathways will be the same, so any dietary deficiencies or metabolic disorders usually get the same treatment, adjusted for dose. Vets have to perform a lot more operations such as castrations / spaying / neutering or claw clipping etc. Human doctors would usually refer you to a surgeon. Of course there are veterinary surgeons who specialise only in that, but mostly practitioners will perform both. Medication for animals is usually less tightly regulated as well, and pain relief techniques are a lot less sophisticated. Remember that vets don't have the patient tell them how much it hurts!\n\nSo some will be the same, apart from dosages and maybe slight adjustments to the formula - but any diseases which are species-specific will have their own medication. A lot more money is pumped into r&d for drugs for humans than for animals so the pharmacopoiea will also be more varied for humans.

From what I understand after talking with those who own dogs, yes, it's entirely possible.  I knew someone whose first dog didn't chew on anything, and then the second dog comes into the home, starts chewing on tee-shirts, and the next thing you know the other dog is joining in because it looks like fun.  Have you tried disciplinary techniques for both of them?  The puppy would probably have an easier time being trained out of the bad behavior, being younger and having done that for less time, but the right training should "cure" them both.  Until, of course, the next "fun" idea they get into their heads.

YES my doggies are just like kids to us.  not only that but Everytime I go shopping I get them something. They're spoiled and I even go to the butcher and buy bones for them and  cook them instead of buying the store kind. Spoiled huh lol
