^^ umm.. iba yung komodo dragon sa bayawak.. ang bayawak e monitor lizard.. mas malaki ng di hamak ang komodo dragon kesa sa monitor lizard..
Hindi ko alam kung ano exactly ang "bayawak," pero ang Komodo Dragon ay isa ring monitor lizard, family Varanidae, I think. Naalala ko lang dati kasi sa thread na ita-translate mo sa English ang isang Tagalog word, may nag-submit ng "bayawak," at sinagot ko ng "monitor lizard." Tapos sabi nung nag-post, "masyadong maliit ang monitor lizard, blah," e alam ko, ang Komodo Dragon, na siyang largest lizard in the world, is a monitor lizard. Magkwento raw ba...
Ano ba talaga ang bayawak? Specific specie ba o term lang sa kahit anong butiking malaki? o_O
@necro: Mollusca is under Kingdom Animalia. Sabi ng thread title e.
@warren
pagkakaalam ko kasi 4 lang ang kingdom sa animal world
yung mammals, reptile, birds at amphibians. di ko lam kung san dyan yan nabibilang, obviously hindi na sya sa mammals at birds. most likely sa amphibians sya o kya nman ibang category pa kasama.
@necro: kung 'di ako nagkakamali, walang Kingdom within another Kingdom (subkingdoms, maybe?). Ang alam ko'ng Kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, at, of course, Animalia. Under Kingdom Animalia yung mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, etc. na mga "Class" na, I think. Tagal ko na rin kasing 'di naaaral 'to e.
Anyway, wala nga dyan (mammals, reptile, birds, amphibians) yung mollusks. Kasali sila sa grupo na invertebrates (hindi ko na alam kung anong tawag sa grupong ito! ) e. Yung mga nabanggit mo, puro vertebrates lahat.
@warren
tama ka nga warren bigla ko naalala nung nabasa ko yung post mo. ise search ko nga yun para maishare natin dito ng naka detail.
maganda rin na ma i discuss dito yung iba pang kingdom.
The crab has an orange body, but it has white spots on its thin legs. In male specimens, the limbs on which the claws are located become longer than its other limbs, and a large male, when spread out, can widen them to more than 3 m. Unconfirmed reports suggest a maximum spread of nearly 8 m [2]. The width of the oval-shaped and vertically rounded shell can reach up to 30 cm, and can be up to 40 cm long.
Its compound eyes are situated on the front, and two thorns stick out between them. Younger specimens feature hair and thorns on the shell, and their frontal horns are longer, but these gradually atrophy as the crab ages.
A uropygid, commonly known as a whip scorpion, is an invertebrate animal belonging to the former order "Uropygi" in the class Arachnida, in the subphylum Chelicerata of the phylum Arthropoda. They are also known as the vinegarone or vinegaroon (in Spanish, vinagrillo or vinagrón) because when agitated they can spray a secretion of acetic acid.
The name of the order should be properly Thelyphonida (a typified name), because the circumscriptional name Uropygi Thorell 1882 originally includes the "Tartarides" (now Schizomida) and should be used instead for the name of a broader group (which is also a well-recognized clade) including the Thelyphonida and Schizomida.
