EducationMajor Differences Between 10 Sets Of Look Alike Animals by Elijahrona(op): 7:59am On Feb 14, 2019
Do you know how to identify a crocodile when it's placed with an alligator? Do you know the difference between a panther and a jaguar? What about toads and frogs? Read this article to learn the differences between 10 sets of look alike animals.

Differences between 10 sets of look alike animals

Differences between Butterflies and Moths
Butterflies and Moths are very similar insects and belong to the order Lepidoptera under the class Insecta under the phylum Arthropoda. Many actually think that moths are butterflies. Well, here are their differences:
* You're most likely to find butterflies during the day because butterflies are diurnal which means they're more active in the day. Moths however are nocturnal meaning they're more active at night so you're most likely to find moths at night.
* Butterflies are colorful and have beautiful patterns in their wings but Moths mostly have faded patterns and are mostly white, black and grey.
* When at rest, butterflies stretch their wings horizontally or vertically but moths fold their wings so their abdomen is fully covered.
* The antennae of butterfly is club-shaped, meaning that it's straight from the bottom but swelled at the top but for moth, the antennae is feathery.

That's why I said compare, like for like.. same for same, don't compare terrestrial with aquatic. do bird for bird and octopus with other invertebrate.

you get my point.
Then why did owl represent wisdom in the whole animal kingdom? Why not just for the birds?

Birds are much more developed than octopuses. An octopus is an invertebrate. Can you compare the brain of the snail to the brain of the bird? Octopus and snail are in the same phylum mullosca

The lion is a formidable cat, the aggression of a full grown male is so much that no animal is a match. Even a full grown white polar bear is a no match for the lion. You also mentioned the tiger, well those that called the Lion "king of the jungle" made their own research before saying that.
"Lion is the king of the jungle" is what they tell children... As children, we all grew to with that belief till now that we're older...

Well, the article was a product of my research and opinion so am ok if you've got a different opinion... Thanks

Jeju:
Ur article is misleading! It is laughable to say lions are lazy. The lion does not usually go to hunt in order to avoid injuries as its prime duty is to protect the pride and secure their kills from other intruders. In cases where larger preys are on the menu, it is d lion that takes charge of the hunt and their brut force gives the pride success.
Everything in the lions pride is wisdom thats why they earned the name king of the jungle.
Laying all day for a lion is to conserve energy to hunt at coolers hours especially night where preys are more vulnerable, but in cases of scarcity they trail preys at any given time.
You just hàve to give the lions full credit "they know what they want and they get it"
The lions are lazy predators yet they takes down big games including elephants, cape buffalo, giraffes, rhinos and makes snacks from wildebeest.
I am so angry at the op right nw!
Point is that female Lions do the job and other big cats also hunt large predators.

All science topics are by opinions though so you're doing a great job by airing yours

The bears.

They are found in the Jungle and pound for pound can kill any other animal easily, which can include the lion and tiger. The tiger avoids them in the jungle.

And lest i for forget, the lions are very lazy and depends on the lioness for food and everything. They sleep half of day. I liken them to Gigolo's.
Lol yes. Lions are very lazy

Owls and Cats are evil
This stereotype is popular in Nigeria. It is widely accepted and more Nigerians would kill any Owl or unknown Cat they find wandering in the street early in the morning. Just like Nigerians many people believe that Cats and Owls are used by or transformed into by witches and wizards.

Owls and Cats (especially owls) are nocturnal meaning they're mostly active at night. They move at night, hunt/search for food at night, poop at night and return back to their hiding place early in the morning. There's nothing witchy about them. This is among the 5 wrong animal stereotypes we should put to rest.

Vultures are evil

Yes they eat the flesh of dead animals but does that mean they're evil? Let's exam the vultures:
*They're detrivores. This means that they eat decomposing animals. Is that really bad? With this niche of vultures, they're able to speed up the time nutrients would be taken back to the ground. For instance, it may take more than 3 months for the soft parts (flesh) of a carcass to decompose and even longer for its bones. When vultures eat the carcass, it would digest and excrete it in not more than 2 days.
*Vultures are social. Meaning they're mostly around each other. Talking of co-operation

Don't call vultures evil. They're only acting their role in nature.

Pigs are very dirty

You'd definitely feel insulted if someone calls you a pig. We all know pigs to be very dirty. Let's study the pigs:
*If given the chance, pigs don't poop close to where they sleep or eat.
*Pigs don't have sweat pores so they rely on the coolness of the ground to keep their body from over heating. This means that they love the mud, not because they just want to play or become dirty but because it's their natural instinct of survival.
*Pigs are smarter than our household pets so they're more easily trained than cats and dogs

Well, pigs need the dirt to survive. Why does your dog like to roll in the dirt?

Owls represent wisdom

This has been known for ages. Even since the time of the Greeks, Athena the goddess of wisdom was commonly associated with Owls. Well, owls are nice birds and have cool features like their neck's ability to rotate up to 270°. Owls have large eyes which make them look as if they're very cautious. Well, i can't argue that Owls can represent wisdom but i can argue that they are not the best animal to represent wisdom. For instance, can an owl match the Octopus?

Here are a few octopus' facts:
*They're invertebrates, in the same phylum with snails, slugs, clams, etc.
*Octopuses have neurons in all their eight arms. This makes them great at multitasking because all eight arms can function differently at the same time. More like a creature with nine brains (one central).
*Although related to slow and immobile organisms, octopuses (as well as squids) can be very fast in water.
*Octopus; Octo -eight, pus/podus -foot literally means eight foot while its class Cephalopods literally means head foot.
*Looking at the octopus its head is just that small part where the eyes can be found just above the arms. The mantle cavity (which houses its stomach, anus and other vital organs) makes a cephalopod look like an organism with a very large brain.

No one knows it all. What you thought was true today may just become false tomorrow. There are a few things we know about a few animals but we don't really know if they're true or not. Read this article to learn 5 wrong animal stereotypes we've been using to judge animals

5 wrong animal stereotypes

Lions are the king of the jungle
Lions to many people, represent pride. Pride literally a group of lions. Here are some facts about lions:
*Male lions, when in a pride, mostly relies on the females for food. The females mostly do the hunting
*When male lions become the alpha male of a pride, they kill and (sometimes) eat the cubs of the females impregnated by other males
*Lions don't come first in anything; not in size, strength, speed, niche, etc.
*Most lions aren't found in the jungle or forest. They can be found in grasslands, wildernesses, savannas, etc.
*Other animals fear lions because lions are social animals (strength in numbers), predators and scary

How can lions be the kings of the king of the jungle if they mostly aren't found in the jungle? How can lions represent pride when all they do is sleep, hunt for food and eat? Why don't lions come first in anything? Such kings they are.

Let's talk a little about tigers:
*Tigers are mostly solitary. They only meet each other accidentally or when it's mating time. Although they're solitary, they still hunt successfully and dominate
*They're mostly found in the jungle/forest. In other words, they dominate the forest
*Tigers are the biggest cats
*Their limbs are so strong that if they die standing, they still won't fall

Now, who should be the king of the jungle?
