What is camouflage?
A type of learned behavior that rewards "good" behavior and punishes "bad" behavior
What is conditioning?
What is imprinting?
This is the difference between growth and development.
What is growth means to get larger in size, development is to get more complex?
These are two different ways we classify vertebrates.
What are body temperature, skin covering, breathing, type of birth, movement?
This is the time span it takes animals to develop a new adaptation.
What is thousands of years, or more?
This process sees animals seek to find mates, and tends to repeat yearly around the same seasonal period.
What is courtship?
This process sees baby amphibians change greatly as they mature, growing lungs and ways to move on land.
