Type of animal science: Anatomy, classification, reproduction Fields of study:Anatomy, entomology, zoology Wasps, stinging insects of the order Hymenoptera, are hornets, which are social species, or mason, digger, carpenter,
and mud-dauber wasps, which are solitary species. They help humans by killing insect pests.
Type of animal science: Behavior, classification, reproduction Fields of study:Anatomy, classification Weasel family members live throughout the world, in many different habitats. They include badgers, martens, mink,
otters, skunks, weasels, and wolverines. Most are carnivores, and all are hunted for their fur.
Type of animal science: Classification Fields of study:Anatomy, behavior, ethology, marine biology, physiology, zoology The whale shark, Rhincodon typus, is the largest fish species in the world. Like all sharks and rays, its skeleton is
composed of cartilage instead of bone. Unlike most sharks, however, the whale shark is a filter feeder, subsisting on
plankton that it strains from the water column. Whale sharks are not commonly encountered, and much remains to be
learned concerning their biology.
Type of animal science: Classification Fields of study:Anatomy, marine biology, physiology, zoology These huge marine mammals, in the order Cetacea, live in earth’s oceans. All of them use baleen to capture a diet of
small sea creatures, and they are the endangered prey of whalers.
Type of animal science: Classification Fields of study:Anatomy, behavior, ethology, marine biology, physiology, zoology The white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is the largest predatory fish and has become well known through its
media-enhanced reputation as one of the most dangerous of sharks. This large and active shark is found worldwide,
principally in temperate and subtropical coastal waters. Despite its fearsome reputation, much remains to be learned
about the biology of these remarkable and formidable fish.
Type of animal science: Classification Fields of study:Anatomy, genetics, zoology Wolves with dogs and coyotes are carnivorous mammals which belong to the Canidae family and share similar anatomical
and behavioral traits.
Type of animal science: Behavior, classification, reproduction Fields of study:Anatomy, classification Wolverines are members of weasel family. They are carnivores, and they are hunted for their fur.
Type of animal science: Anatomy, behavior, classification, ecology Fields of study:Anatomy, ornithology, wildlife ecology Woodpeckers are scansorial (tree-creeping) piciform birds which are found in areas with trees all over the world, except
in Madagascar, Australia,NewZealand, and Oceania. They are members of the family Picidae and consist of 215
species, of which 25 are found in North America.
Type of animal science: Classification Fields of study:Anatomy, invertebrate biology, physiology Segmented worms are a class (Annelida) whose body parts are arranged in a longitudinal series of rings, or segments.
Many are hermaphroditic.
