Is a platypus and frog similar?

Answer 1

Similarities between crocodiles and platypuses are:

• Crocodiles and platypuses are both vertebrates, and therefore members of the phylum Chordata.
• They are both efficient swimmers, spending much of their time in water.
• Both creatures are carnivores, even though their diet is different.

Answer 2

Platypuses and echidnas have several things in common, and several differences.

• They are both monotremes, egg-laying mammals.
• Both can swim, but a major difference is that the platypus is semi-aquatic, while the echidna lives on land.
• Both animals can be found from trpoical northern regions of Australia down to sub-alpine regions of Tasmania. A difference is that the echidna can also survive quite well in semi-arid areas.
• Both have strong claws for digging burrows for shelter, but the platypus also has a retractable membrane between its claws, which helps it to swim.
• The platypus does not have a pouch, but the echidna develops a temporary pouch (more like a fold of skin) in which it lays and incubates its eggs. The platypus lays and incubates its eggs in a chamber dug in the side of the riverbank.
• An echidna usually lays just a single egg, whilst a platypus may lay one to three eggs.
• A major difference is their external appearance. The echidna has quills whilst the platypus has dense, waterproof fur.
• Both the male platypus and the male echidna have a spur on their hind ankle, but the platypus's is poisonous whilst the echidna's serves no known function.
• Neither echidnas nor platypuses have teeth. The platypus grinds its food between bony plates in its bill, whilst the echidna uses its long, sticky tongue to catch and eat termites and ants.

Answer 3

Apart from both being four-legged vertebrates which breathe through lungs, there are no other similarities between a platypus and a chameleon.

Answer 4

yes they both like water
