Tursiops truncatus or Bottlenose Dolphins has three subspecies one of which is the Pacific bottlenose dolphin, which has the scientific name of  Tursiops truncatus gilli.\n\nSome zoologists claim that the three subspecies are in reality three different species.

They're different animals; A turtle is like a tortoise, but turtles live in the water while tortoises live on dry land. A hare is a creature similar to a rabbit but it is both bigger and faster. A hare was probably chosen over a rabbit since hares are typically associated with going very fast, hence the phrase: He went haring round the bend.

Turkeys have a fleshy growth at the base of their beak called a snood; it's long in males, hanging over the beak (apparently some humans will grow these). Turkeys also have a wattle - a fleshy, red or blue, hunk of skin hanging from the neck or throat. There are also red or blue fleshy bumps of tissue over the head and neck called caruncles. Males have a tuft of bristly feathers at their breast called a beard. I imagine it's all for courtship, etc. - a big tom in full display is quit a sight!\n\nCheck out the picture - it's either a tom turkey or an alien - we're not sure yet...

Bumblebee bat like kimmy said.  The bumblebee bat is also known as Kitti's hognosed bat so there may be some confusion there.  The scientific name is Craseonycteris thonglongyai.\n\nThe Etruscan pygmy shrew (Suncus etruscus) is actually lighter than the bat, but its skull is longer in length.\n\nCraseonycteris thonglongyai is listed as Endangered, as the entire population lives in one locale in Thailand which is vulnerable to habitat destruction.

Their nose, mainly.\n\nIn terms of physical differences the easiest way to tell the difference between the two is that a crocodile has a very long, narrow, V-shaped snout, while the alligator's snout is wider and U-shaped.

Tukki in Hebrew (תוכי) means parrot.\n\nThis bird is known by the Brits (and later on by the Americans) as "turkey" for they wrongly recognized it as "Guinea Fowl", a chicken that was led from Madagascar to Britain through Turkey.\nIn Hebrew we call it "Hodu" (Indian), in Arabic "Chabashi" (Ethiopian), in Malaysia it is known as the "Dutch" and in India they call it "Peruvian".\n\nHebrew, anyway, is not the source.

They have mouth openings often with flagellum to help with their filter feeding.  The tail end is thinner and is lighter in color/more transparent.  Just do an image search for amphioxus and see!

Snakes have a reduced or absent left lung; the right lung is long and extends along much of its trunk; it looks like a pink elastic and many-celled pantyhose.\n\nBoas and pythons usually have two functional lungs.

heres a site  or 2 for you  to look at  about WOMAS AND BLACK-HEADED PYTHONS\nGENUS ASPIDITES PETERS 1876 \nAspidites is a genus of large terrestrial Pythons endemic to continental Australia. These pythons are readily distinguished from all other Australian species by the absence of pits on the labial or rostral scales. Other diagnostic traits are the absence of teeth on the premaxilla and enlarged symmetrical shields on the top of the head. Prior to now, most authorities have divided the genus into two well-defined species. These are the Black-headed Python (Aspidites melanocephalus) and the Woma (A. ramsayi). \n\nThe former is separated from the latter by its distinct glossy black head. At best the latter only has black markings on the head. Few authors recognize subspecies or races. Those that have subdivided the above species into races or regional variants, include Barker and Barker (1994a) and Wells and Wellington (1985a). The former recognized different races without naming them, while the latter recognized A. collaris as described by Longman in 1913 (see below). Taxonomy of this genus has gained greater interest in recent years with the introduction of more formalized reptile-keeper licensing systems in most Australian states combined with the high prices of specimens traded. Authorities in some states have taken a strong stand against hybridization of races of snakes, a view shared by a substantial number of private keepers. \n\nNoting that distinct differences between races of Aspidites are well known and acknowledged and that for many years a substantial number of herpetologists have recognized different races as being at least different subspecies, it is somewhat surprising that up until now no one has put names to these different races. Black-headed Pythons and Womas are known to occur sympatrically in parts of Western Australia, with this author catching both species on the western edge of the Great Sandy Desert, north of Port Hedland, WA.

There are two basic differences.\nThe main one is the number of rods at the back of the eye. These minute rods are very sensitive to light. Nocturnal animals have many more of these than humans.\nThe second reason is that nocturnal animals can open their pupil to a much greater extent and so let in more light.\nThe quote below refers to owls but is just as valid for animals.\n\n"The eyes themselves are modified in nocturnal species to improve sensitivity in low light intensities. This is achieved by several adaptations; they are very large, a Snowy Owl weighs as much as our own, secondly they are tubular rather than round giving a relatively large cornea in proportion to the overall size of the eye which enables more light to enter the eye. The light passes through the pupil, (which can be closed by the iris to a small pinprick in bright light, or, opened so wide that virtually no iris is visible at night) to the lens. This is large and convex causing the image to be focused nearer to the lens hence retaining maximum brightness. One draw back is that owls are long sighted and cannot focus on objects, which are to close, tactile bristles around the beak partially compensate for this. The tubular shape also gives a comparatively large retina size which is packed full of light sensitive rods, about 56,000/ square mm. in the Tawny Owl. These rods are far more sensitive than cones at low light levels The phenomenal light gathering properties of the owls eye is further enhanced in many species by a reflective layer behind the retina called the tapetum lucidum reflects back onto the rods any light that may have passed through the retina without hitting one the first time. Tawny owls would appear to have the best developed eyes of all the owls, indeed of all vertebrates, being probably about 100 times more sensitive at low light levels than our own. To put this into perspective, a Tawny Owl can locate prey several metres away by the light of just one candle about 1700 feet away!"

The three species of Lagidium (Lagidium peruanum, L. viscacia, and L. wolffsohni) share a number of cranial features which classify the Family Chinchillidae:  They are hystricognathous (the angular process where the masseter arises is lateral to the plane of the rest of the jaw), and strongly hystricomorphous (in which the infraorbital foramen is enlarged for attachment of the medial masseter muscle).  The mandibles have no masseteric crest, the lacrimals are large and the lacrimal canal opens on the side of the rostrum.  The auditory bullae are enlarged.  The teeth have a pattern of 1/1, 0/0, 1/1, 3/3 = 20) and are hypodont and rootless.  Their molars have two or three closely packed lamellar plates.\n\nSome workers have suggested that the large genetic distances (between 5.9% and 8.9%) between the described species may mean that there are more than the three species of Lagidium that are currently recognized.  Other authors include L. peruanum within L. viscacia, meaning only two species in the Genus.\n\nIf you are looking for the specific characters used to distinguish the different species, I would recommend checking out the following references:\n\nWoods, C. 1993.  Suborder Hystricognathi. Pp. 771-806 in Mammal species of the world: a taxonomic and geographic reference (D.E. Wilson and D.M. Reeder, eds.).

You would think that the pecking itself or the usage pattern of (as it were) of the pecker would be enough to identify not only the sub-species but the individual, however, there is not scientific evidence to show that this is the case. \n\nIt is possible through the use of photgraphs of the peckers to identfy even beyond the sub-species to the invidual (there are a few famous cases of this).

Well, I told my wife that mine is "as large as they come" but here's some factual stuff----\n\nSize\nMain article: Human penis size \nAs a general rule, an animal's penis is proportional to its body size, but this varies greatly between species — even between closely related species. For example, an adult gorilla's erect penis is about 4 cm (1.5 inches) in length; an adult chimpanzee, significantly smaller (in body size) than a gorilla, has a penis size about double that of the gorilla. The common chimpanzee, or Pan troglodytes, has the third largest penis size among the great apes: in comparison, the human penis is larger than that of the common chimpanzee, both proportional to body size and in absolute terms. While results vary across studies, the general consensus is that the average human penis is approximately 14.5 cm (5.7 inches) in length and 12.7 cm (5 in) in circumference when fully engorged with blood during arousal. According to a survey of 1,500 men that claimed that average size was long 15 cm by 12.7 cm around (5.9-5 in), the most common size was 14.6 cm (5.75 inches) and 78% of men had erect penises between 13.3 and 17.1 cm (5.25-6.75 in). It also said 13.3 cm (5.25 inches) was the most common girth, with 78.4% measuring between 12.1 and 14 cm around (4.75 and 5.5 in).\n\nAs with any other bodily attribute, the length and girth of the penis is highly variable between individuals of the same species. In many animals, especially mammals, the size of a flaccid penis is much smaller than its erect size. In humans and some other species, flaccid vs. erect penis size varies greatly between individuals, such that penis size when flaccid is not a reliable predictor of size when erect.\n\nExcept for extreme cases at either end of the size spectrum, penis size does not correspond strongly to reproductive ability in almost any species.

God made them that way...lol....they are different animlas. Gosh why are whales bigger than guppies?
