What animals breathe through gills?

What Animals Use Their Gills to Breathe? Primarily fish, but also crabs and mollusks use their gills to breathe. Larvae such as tadpoles and the larvae of dragonflies, which live in the water at first, also use their gills to breathe.

What are 4 examples of adaptations?

Examples include the long necks of giraffes for feeding in the tops of trees, the streamlined bodies of aquatic fish and mammals, the light bones of flying birds and mammals, and the long daggerlike canine teeth of carnivores.

What are 3 physical adaptations?

The shape of a bird's beak, the color of a mammal's fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals survive. Animals also have behavioral adaptations that have to do with their actions.

Do dolphins gills?

Dolphins are mammals, not fish.

Unlike fish, who breathe through gills, dolphins breathe air using lungs. Dolphins must make frequent trips to the surface of the water to catch a breath. The blowhole on top of a dolphin's head acts as a "nose," making it easy for the dolphin to surface for air.

Does a frog have gills?

Frogs, like salamanders, newts and toads, are amphibians. Most amphibians begin their life cycles as water-dwelling animals, complete with gills for breathing underwater. As they grow to adulthood, amphibians normally become land-dwelling creatures, lose their gills and develop lungs for breathing.

Do crabs have gills?

Like fishes, crabs use their gills to absorb oxygen from water. ... As long as a crab's gills stay damp, oxygen will diffuse from the atmosphere into the water on their gills.

What adaptations does a giraffe have?

Their very long necks are an adaption to feeding at high levels in the treetops. Their physical adaption, a long neck, does not only help them to graze but also helps them keep track of predators and it enables visual communication with other giraffe over several miles.

What are chameleons adaptations?

Some of the adaptations that help a chameleon survive within its environment are camera-like eyes that can focus on different things, and defensive body maneuvers, like horns or flaps. They also have a long projectile tongue that can launch out of their mouth to catch prey from some distance.

What is a camels adaptation?

Camels are well adapted for survival in the desert. Their adaptations include: large, flat feet - to spread their weight on the sand. thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss. a large surface area to volume ratio - to maximise heat loss.

How do penguins adapt?

How are penguins adapted so they can swim fast? Penguins have webbed feet for powerful swimming. Their bodies are streamlined to reduce drag in water. ... The dark coloured feathers of a penguin's back surface absorb heat from the sun, so helping them to warm up too.
