komodo dragon i think? but then i'd never heard of the other one. although...the person that wrote dinosaur is right to an extent...although they're not really lizards. another although coming up...trying to think...can't...going...out...:) i'm going to answer more of your questions. :)

There are actually two. The duckbilled platypus and the echidna. Both only live in Australia

Good question and one for which there is really only a lot of conjecture. Based on the fossil record, there is some belief that some of the dromaeosaurs (Deinonychus, Utahraptor, Troodon, etc.) may have been capable of fairly complex vocalizations. Some of the best evidence, though, comes from fossils of Parasaurolophus. The ellaborate head crest contained a series of air passages that were believed to produce sound, not unlike a trombone. The CNN link below contains a nice article. Beyond vocalizations and the hooting and honking of dinosaurs like parasaurolophus, there is a school of thought that says that the sauropods (the long necked plant eaters) may have cracked their tails like a whip which could have been used for communication with the herd.

I am going to go with the Bald Eagle.\n\n For one I have seen them in person and their wing span is unimaginably huge! They could shadow you entirely. Secondly, I like the fact that when they choose a mate, it is the same mate for life. Not to mention that they pluck all their feathers out each molding time and are very, very vulnerable until their feathers come in again. \nThey are regal birds and have a commanding presence.

No, I think the platypus is. It's a mammal, but it has a beak, fur, webbed feet & lays eggs. What a creation!

There are some great progressive displays of the shared characteristics of certain dinos and modern-day birds.  You should check it out at a museum of natural history, or even online.

As mentioned above, Darwin's Finches are a great example.  Below is an encyclopedia entry and another page with pictures of the finches.  Darwin himself noted that the finches had a great number of similarities - but that each had one or more differences that made it 'fit' well with its 'niche' (that is, whether it lived on the ground or in trees, whether it ate tough seeds or worms, etc).  As noted in the article, modern techniques have proved Darwin correct; all these birds came from one small "parent" population.\nBut the larger answer to your question is everything you see in every form of life around you appears to be a product of evolution.  The fact that a bat's wing is composed of the same number of bones as a human arm and hand; and that the same number of bones also from the flipper of seal, or the paw of a bear.  Anything that allows any creature to do what it does well is appears to be a product of evolution.\n[Now somebody stop me before I sound any more like a David Attenborough program on PBS...]

Birds, Definitely. birds, being warm blooded, are much closer to mammals than amphibians. Amphibians only show the faintest glimmer of an R-Complex, known in your brain as a cerebellum - the reptilian part of the brain. Birds, by contrast, have a highly developed R-complex and even show the beginnings of a cerebrum (the big lumpy part of your brain that handles all that rational though stuff). Can you imagine a frog or a salamander uttering, "Polly wants a cracker?" >:)

Giganotosaurus I think...  its legs were shorter than the T-rex, however, the frame, build and bite where huge compared to the T-Rex.

A plane like the Raptor is designed by a large group of people with various types of education. Engineers, math majors, physics majors, soft ware and computer specialists, metallurgists, medical people and military people.\n\nAll modern airplanes are designed this way.

This is a hard question though it does not say specficly that dinosaurs was created in the Bible, God did give Adam the authority to name every living creature..\n\n\n\nThe Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.\n\n\nAlthough we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.”\n\n\nBehemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24\n\n\nIt “eats grass like an ox.” \nIt “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”) \nIts “bones are like beams of bronze,\nHis ribs like bars of iron.” \n“He is the first of the ways of God.” \n“He lies under the lotus trees,\nIn a covert of reeds and marsh.” \nSome bibles and study bibles will translate the word “behemoth” as “elephant” or “hippopotamus.” Others will put a note at the edge or bottom of the page, stating that behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus. Although an elephant or hippopotamus can eat grass (or lie in a covert of reeds and marsh), neither an elephant or a hippopotamus has a “tail like a cedar” (that is, a tail like a large, tapered tree trunk). In your kid’s dinosaur book you will find lots of animals that have “tails like a cedar.”\n\nWe would expect behemoth to be a large land animal whose bones are like beams of bronze and so forth, so whatever a behemoth is, it is large. A key phrase is “He is the first of the ways of God.” This phrase in the original Hebrew implied that behemoth was the biggest animal created. Although an elephant or a hippopotamus are big, they are less than one-tenth the size of a Brachiosaurus, the largest (complete) dinosaur ever discovered.[1] A Brachiosaurus could therefore easily be described as “the first of the ways of God.”\n\n\nLeviathan has the following attributes according to Job chapter 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1. This is only a partial listing—just enough to make the point.\n\n\n“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.” \n“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?” \n“His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; one is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted.” \n“His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.” \n“Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins.” \n“On earth there is nothing like him, which is

There are any number of large, terrestrial hunters that will gladly eat a hawk, falcon or eagle if given the opportunity.  Cougars, wolves, bears, leopards, jaguars, hyaenas, and even reptiles like crocodiles will eat them if they can.\n\nThe raptors avoid these predators through the power of flight.  Because of their size, it is not easy for other predatory birds to eat hawks, eagles and falcons.  They're pretty much the top of the chain.  While an eagle might be bigger than a falcon, the falcon is faster and more maneuverable.  The same factor would come into play if there was a massively huge bird that was of sufficient strength to take down an eagle.  A bird that big would be too slow, and it would be easy for the eagle to out-maneuver it.\n\nIt should be noted that large falcons (gyrfalcons, peregrine) will sometimes eat small falcons (kestrels, merlins).

No, though they look quite similar in many ways, they are two different species that do not have similar DNA.\nCrocodiles are in the family Crocodylidae, whereas Aligators are in the family Alligatoridae (I'm not making this up! Check the link!). Some animals that have cross-bred before (like donkey with horse, tiger with lion, zebra with donkey) have to be closer related.

The impala is a medium-sized antelope with a dark brown back fading to a medium brown flank and a white underbelly.\n\nBirds in this order have spindly legs, long necks, and long bills. Ibises tend to have slender, down-curved bills.\n\nIndian muntjac.This is a small, brown deer with branched antlers and a longer nose than other types of deer.\n\nThe Illiger's macaw is a small macaw with a black bill and bare cheek regions. In general the plumage is green. The forehead and sides of abdomen and lower back orange-red to red; the crown is blue; the head, nape, and cheeks greenish-blue; the wings blue with blue primary-coverts and bluish-green edges; the under wing-coverts olive-green. The tail feathers are blue with reddish-brown tips and olive-yellow underside.\n\nIndian peafowl:\nMALE The rooster (cok) has a fan-shaped crest, a metallic blue head, and a bright blue neck and upper body. The tail has long, ornamental feathers (not true tail feathers but elongated upper tail coverts) with black eye-spots on the rounded tips. \nFEMALE The hen has a chestnut-brown crest and neck with feathers bordered in bronze and green.\n\nIanthina\nibex\nibis\nichneumon fly\nIchthyornis\nichthyosaur\niguanodon\nindri\ninsect\nIrish terrier\nIrish water spaniel\nIrish wolfhound\nitch mite\nizard

we talked about this in my biology class and we came up with birds. We found out that they are related to prehistoric times to the Teridactyl. They have similar body stuctures except much larger. Stubby legs and wings with bones is another similarity. They also build nests and lay eggs. \n\nBacteria is an excellent organism to support the theory of evolution. Bacteria are "cells" that have their chromosomes scattered all throughout it making it very unorganized. However over time a nucleus was formed and all of the chromosomes were kept here and other cell structures were formed along with cilia on the cell membrane for propulsion. This evolving into the first single celled organism.

its hard to assign a foot posture to a bird, unless it is a bird that doesnt fly such as a penguin or emu. they have plantigrade foot posture. I do believe other birds are technically plantigrade, but are usually assigned names based on the type of foot. Ie, a raptor would have raptorial feet, a duck palmate, and so on. I would assume bats are the same,but since they dont use their feet for locomotion, its a hard thing to define. good question
