Question

Explain the monkey and the cocodrile

Answer 1

Respuesta:

MONKEY: The word mono is a non-taxonomic term that designates a wide set of monkey-like primates.

The terms "monkey" and "ape" are synonyms, 1 but in zoology a distinction is usually made between the two, due to the influence of the English language, in which the equivalent terms "monkey" and "ape" have different meanings. Although there are some similarities between both sets of animals, the differences are many. Thus, in scientific language, current monkeys include the Platyrrhinos (Platyrrhini or New World monkeys) and the Cercopithecoids (Cercopithecoidea or Old World monkeys), but not hominoid primates, closer to humans, such as the orangutan, gorilla, chimpanzee and gibbons, which are considered apes. Unlike these, monkeys generally have tails, have a more primitive skeleton, and are smaller. This use of the word ape as a translation of the English ape, restricted to tailless primates, is erroneous, and does not correspond to Spanish.

COCODRILE: Crocodylidae (Spanish as crocodilians1 or crocodilians2) is a family of archosaur sauropsids (reptiles) commonly known as crocodiles. It includes fourteen current species.3 They are large semi-aquatic reptiles that live in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, America and Australia. They first appeared during the Eocene, about fifty-five million years ago.

Strictly speaking, a crocodile is any species that belongs to the Crocodylidae family (sometimes classified as the Crocodylinae subfamily). However, the term can also be used more flexibly to include all existing members of the order Crocodilia, i.e. true crocodiles, alligators and alligators (family Alligatoridae), and gharial (family Gavialidae), as well as Crocodylomorpha, which includes relatives and extinct ancestors of today's crocodiles.

Crocodiles tend to congregate in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and sometimes in brackish water. They feed mainly on vertebrates (fish, reptiles and mammals), and sometimes on invertebrates (molluscs and crustaceans), depending on the species.
