I wish I could add one of thos msn emocions with the yellow head in his hands thing, but, i can't.

[Jennykins]

Reptiles are cold blooded and animals like bears, goats, hourse ec... are warm blooded.. And a scientest does not look at a Reptile and say "well thats a nice animal" its a Reptile. Its like your saying a fly is an animal too... Think about it

BTW. My second link works :-)

"cold blooded" animals do not actually have cold blood. The term means that they can not regulate their body temperature themselves so they have to rely on external means to warm themselves up. EG, lizards sit in the morning sun to warm themselves after the cold night. The heat generated by the bodies metabolic processes is always present in all animals, so they do not have truly cold blood.

Big Up- Impret-sir..u re like an encyclopaedia. Cant belive i just spelt that right.

Jennykins, what the heck are you on about?
A scientist (not scientest) absolutely considers a reptile an animal. In fact, birds and lizards are more closely related than birds and mammals. So warm and cold-bloodedness is not a way that most phylogeneticists classify animals at all. And scientists do not talk about "reptiles" as a real group at all. "Reptiles" are a paraphyletic (you can look that one up) group that does not include the birds, which are descended from their common ancestor. Care to correct me again?

And flies are animals, as are sponges and corals. Just because they aren't fluffy and cute doesn't mean they aren't animals.

an estie knows these things cos she's a really clever bird, (that's an animal you know)

[Redbel]

Yeah Estie knows her stuff.......Estie I'm a Liverbird btw.....;-)

[Jennykins]

ake Your way to easy to bug... and I cant believe you would correct my spelling.. Your so weird.. I can picure you with your nose up in the air.. haha.. I still think your WRONG!!! But it doesnt really matter anyways.. I read the first line of your babling and got board with it... Really, Do you think I would care that much about how warm or cold a animals or reptiles blood is.. ???

[dot.hawkes]

jennykins do you think it is ok to insult a long standing member of this site in the way you have insulted our estie? Ok she is from New York but we forgave her that long ago, why would you imagine her with her nose in the air, she is highly educated and a biologist type teaching person, maybe she knows what she is talking about eh?

[Jennykins]

Dot I was simply pointing how how easy she got fired up about the silliest question.. and how come it is ok for her to get her back up with me when I was just having fun with an answer?.. Im sure she doesnt really care what I think so why would she correct my spelling error then go off about animals? Really, You can only take so much so serious.. Im sorry if I have ****** you all off tho.. For me I was getting a chuckle.. I didnt realize how easy it was to insult your friend estie.. I guess underling words may look as if there being said in a ferm tone or something like that... and that is not how they were ment to come across... Sorry ladys.. Please except my apology.. I do really love to read your answers, I promise to show more respect. Jen PS Please no hard feelings...(smile)
