  1. 2. The ability to emit sound waves and interpret the returning echoes to locate objects and navigate the environment.
  2. 6. a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates.
  3. 7. a trait derived from a common ancestor
  4. 9. situated or applied under the skin.
  5. 10. living in a social group
  6. 12. a distinct period of history with a unique characteristic.
  7. 14. a state of armed conflict between different nations, states or different groups
  8. 15. Reflective layer increases the amount of light available to the photoreceptors. Responsible for “glow” seen in eyes of animals at night
  9. 21. property in the form of land, estate
  10. 23. to time birth with resources; a biological strategy where a fertilized egg pauses its development and remains in the uterus.
  11. 26. degree of curvature of the wing
  12. 29. fine, thread-like strands that grow from the skin of some animals
  13. 33. sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human hearing
  14. 34. an animal behavior that involves the animals curling back its upper lip, wrinkling its nose, and holding the posture for a few seconds
  15. 38. ovulation occurs regularly, independent of mating. This is common in many mammals, allowing for a higher potential for fertilization if mating occurs.

  17. 42. the branch of zoology concerned with mammals
  18. 44. a digestive process that occurs in a pouch-like structure at the junction of the small and large intestines, where undigested food matter is fermented.
  19. 45. on bats, skin between neck and thumb (inner forearm)
Down
  1. 1. able to close nostrils underwater
  2. 3. ovulation is triggered by mating. This is seen in cats, rabbits, and more.
  3. 4. sound waves with frequencies above the upper limit of human hearing
  4. 5. as an artery comes down, it loses heat to the adjacent artery. And is cold
  5. 8. having limbs adapted for running.
  6. 11. a distinctive smell, often unpleasant in nature.
  7. 13. animals in colder climates are larger than those in warmer climates
  8. 16. on bats, the area of skin around the tail; can encompass entire tail, or poke out
  9. 17. a herbivorous mammal with a specialized, four-chambered stomach that allows it to digest plant matter efficiently.
