what's the difference between an ant eater and an armadillo?
399561
the spiny ant eater or echidna is a member of prototheria and eats ants. It has a long snout and a long, sticky tongue. Whereas an armadillo has eight or nine bands, belongs to class metatheria and can fold itself up.

They belong to the order Hymenoptera, this means they are most closely related to bees, wasps, and sawflies. Ants are characterised by having a very narrow waist between the thorax and the abdomen, this places them in the sub-order Apocrita.\nAnts are one of the most social insect on the planet, and the bulk weight of all the ants in the tropics is more than the combined weight of all the humans on earth.\nAnts are wingless except for the reproductives. Queens will have what is called a nuptual flight where they emerge from a nest and mate with a single male. The female then starts her own colony and used the stored sperm from that one mating for the rest of her life, she can produce hundreds of thousands of eggs with this single sperm donation.\nAnt societies have different demographics, called castes, these include workers (sterile females) soldiers (with large mandibles) and one queen, sometimes more, depending on the species.\nAnts eat virtually anything, from organic materials to other insects, to pollen, nectar and honeydew (produced by aphids)\nSome ants grow their own food, like in leaf-cutter ants. They will cut pieces leaves and transport them to special chambers underground where they grow mushrooms which feed on the leaves.\n\nthats all that comes to mind for now, hope this helps!

A termite ( subtereanean) lives up to 40 feet below the ground surface and sends its workers to feed on cellouse in wood or products made from wood.  the workers are whiteish colored, while the adults are black with two body segments. the adults develope wings when they swarm during a sharp weather change but shed them quickly after a short flight. An ant has three body segments, lives outside mainly but can come in to a structure or nest in a structure if enough moisture is advailable to them, ie pipe condensation or roof leaks, etc.

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.

First of all, chimps are NOT monkeys! The biggest difference is that a monkey has a tail and a chimp does not, both are primates.\nChimps and humans share 98.4% DNA\nChimps do like bananas, however chimps favorite foods are passion fruit, mangoes, jack fruit & peanuts.

First, than ant has its skeleton on the outside, same thing as an armor, second, due to the weight and size of the ant, the air friction is higher, making it fall slower than a human being

I would have to say a cockroach. They sure as hell breed like them. Oh yeah I forgot it is that pathetic excuse of being Catholic. What a joke LMAO!!! Makes sense to be a cockroach, they are hard to get rid of too, don't insult the chihuahua.

Ants do have not have bones,  their skeleton (exoskeleton) is on the outside and made out of chitin, a very tough substance. Parts of the exoskeleton has extensions to the inside so muscles can attach to it, in the ant's head this it referred to as tentorium. That part functions a bit like some bones. \nThe ants you see crawling around do not shed their exoskeleton ever. Ants are holometabolous insects, which means their adult form is clearly different from their larval form (just like caterpillers and butterflies) and once they are adult they do not change any more. \nThere are other insects like cockroaches or silverfish. Their larval form look pretty much like the adult (only they don't have wings and they are not sexually mature) and they have a number of molts to keep up with their growth. The adult does not molt any more either.

Anoles eat mosquitoes, spiders, and roaches.  They are quite common in the southern US, where many people call them 'chameleons" by mistake, because they can change from green to brown, vice/versa.  they can get up to about 8" but are more commonly seen 1/2 that size.  \nThe grownups are wary, but they will become semi-tame, when they learn you won't kill them.  The males have a red throat flap when they're horny :}

Preying mantis, carnivorous crickets, spiders, lizards (especially geckos, as they come out at night like cockroaches), shrews, Antechinuses, Planigales (or any small carnivorous marsupial), birds (if they get the chance) and rolled  up newspapers. There are many different species of cockroach in the world, the ones that get into houses are usually Periplaneta americana and they live nearly everywhere and fill even the most hardened biologist (me) with revulsion. They have been sprayed by so many chemicals in their evolutionary history that they are immune to any chemicals that are sub-lethal to human beings. If you try to take out cockroaches with chemical weapons, you are probably goin to take out yourselves. In the bush cockroaches perform important functions in breaking down plant material. In the house they perform the function of strengthening stereotypical domestic roles- the woman screams and the guy comes out with a raised shoe and bashes the cockroach into a crunchy paste. \n\nLife on Earth is interesting, isn't it.

The crocodile has longer snout.\n\nCompared to the Crocodile, Alligators have short, rounded snouts while Crocodiles have longer and tapered snouts. \n\nAn alligator has a broad and blunt snout. Their lower teeth fit inside the edge of the upper jaw and cannot be seen when their mouth is closed. Crocodiles on the other hand, have a narrow head and longer snout. Their upper and lower teeth can be seen. \n\nAlligators are characterized by a broader snout and eyes more dorsally located than their crocodile cousins however crocodiles have longer snout than alligators. Alligators (and caimans) have a wide "U"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed "V"-shaped noses. \n\nThe broad snout of alligators is designed for strength, capable of withstanding the stress caused to bone when massive force is applied to crack open turtles and hard-shelled invertebrates which form part of their diet. Conversely, the pointed snout of a crocodile isn't quite as strong as the alligatorine shape, but the crocodile is still capable of exerting massive biting power. Crocodile jaws can be thought of as being more generalised - ideal for a wide variety of prey.\n\nGharials have a thin and extremely long snout. Caimans also have a short and blunt snout.♥

Guerilla with full combat gear would have the advantage over a Grizzly Bear.\nA GORILLA, on the other hand, may not fare so well against either.  Both the Grizzly and Gorilla have massive strength to size ratios, but the Grizzly wins out hands down on the claws and teeth aspect while the Gorilla is mainly an herbivore with no claws and dentition to match.

A number of birds will follow driver ants and feed on them and what they stir up.  Perhaps the always common greenbuls and bulbuls.  I expect that agamas would be happy to eat them also.  Certainly several amphibian species.  As mentioned above, many mammals would probably feed on them if given the chance.  I suspect shrews and brush-furred mice should be added to the chimps and mongosses listed above.\n\nNote: anteaters are South American and aardvarks largely specialize on termites.

Yep.  Same thing as a crawdad too.  \n\nBut there's no such thing as a craydad.  Go figure.

They produce chemicals that are poisonous/unpleasant tasting (milkweed)\nOr produce chemicals that attract predators of the plant-eating insect\n\nThey grow thorns or spikes or itchy hairs (greenbriar)\n\nThey have a symbiotic relationship with ants who do the protecting (acacia trees)
