homework help: What do a Monkey, Eagle, and a Crocodile have in common? - Help.com

I’m not sure, but maybe they all live in a paticular part of the world?They all have “E”s in their names? They all have a certain level of intelligence? Something like that?

This is from this website

Join dancer/storyteller Debra Weiss on a journey to India, where Crocodile is trying to catch Monkey and eat her up! One day Monkey sees a beautiful fruit tree growing on an island in the river. She wants to get the fruit so badly that she goes down to the river and takes a ride on Crocodile’s back! Crocodile tries to drown her, but Monkey is too clever for Crocodile and tricks him into taking her back home. Later Monkey finds a rock in the middle of the river and jumps on the rock and bounces all the way to the island of the fruit tree. She eats and eats the delicious fruit but finds Crocodile waiting for her on the rock when she tries to cross the river. Once again she tricks Crocodile and gets home safely. Children participate in the story, dancing the parts of river creatures, crocodiles, monkeys and fruit trees.

Hope that helped…

I’ll continue to look theres no mention of an eagle… Google searches are not an extact science “no pun intended” but if it’s been though of, its on the internet, somewhere.

What is your daughter studying? Maybe that has a clue in it.

Is there mention of a tiger anywhere in the study? I found this too.. once again, use caution, it may not be right, but might be a step in a generally good direction…

But, as always happens, reporters tended to highlight the violent and gruesome bits rather more than they did the less macabre ones. For, although it is true that eagle killed monkey, crocodile killed tiger, and sometimes various other combinations killed each other, it is also true that monkey fed crocodile, and that eagle protected tiger. (They were, to all reckoning, a highly confused lot).

I’m gonna add this to my knowledge base… i’m sure it’ll come up again.. Tapdancer, you have any sugguestions?

I’m stuck myself, eagles and crocs lay eggs, money’s dont, thats out… i’m 34 loved science in school, but this was never a question. Ill find it though, eventually..

oops, dancerlynn. sorry

Are you sure those are the animals? I mean, is it a certain type of monkey or eagle? Maybe they all have the same type of diet. Do you have any ideas, Just me? Maybe that will spark some of ours…

And it’s okay, Jb0nd. I’ve made the same kind of mistake.

Google does not know… the only exact search phrase points to a type of cancer.. booo google :( Still looking

They are all mammals.

Only the monkey is a mammal. The eagle is a bird and the croc is a reptile.

Woohoo :) 5 points to IamMyKidsMon…

Naw Dancer, shes right. look here

;) IT Pays to be a teacher, hu? lol

Wait retract that… according to that website… birds are not mammals.. i’m confused now…

A croc that produces milk and and an eagle that gives birth to live young? What about the hair thing? Do birds have a jawbone?

Click that link above… read that.. i’m so confused now

The croc is in the class “Reptilia” and the eagle is in the class “Aves”. If they were mammals they would be in the class “Mammalia”.

Birds, Croc’s and Monkeys all have a backbones. ALTHOUGH birds hollow bones. Crods are cold blooded, but have a backbone….darn…still looking/researching…hold on.

Correct. The fact is that structurally they’re going to all be similar since they’re all in the phylum of vertebrates, since they all have proper backbones. Evolutionarily there were crocs first, then birds, then monkeys.

I think I’ve got it! They all make nests for their babies! The monkey makes a grass nest, the croc digs in the sand/mud by the water where it lives, and the bird makes a nest out of sticks.

Thats a good conclusion Dancer.. i want to invite you to another post as well, now i’m multitasking on help.com (thank god for tabs).

I’m still on this mamal discussion, I want to know for myself.

In order for something to be a mammal, it has to have all the traits of a mammal, not just one or two. And I was under the impression that animals are classified by how the are now, not how they were a couple million years ago.

wwoooaaa i think she’s got it, but i doubt that’s what they’re asking your 5th grader. It seems a bit too hard. How about just that they all have back bones. Also, as ill all vertebrates, they developed have a notochord, a hollow nerve cord and a phalangeal clefts (like gills). The fact is that they also all lost them by the time they were actually born.

They are all endangered too, types of them.

Cant find resources on the croc as a mammal. So nix that.

I still think they are all mammals for some reason, but they also endangered too.

I think ToW is right, they all are vertebrates.

they are all in the science question :)

What do you mean, Cacca77?

ROFL.. that probally would merit an F.. but F for funny in my book :)

I don’t understand what he said.

She means that what all 3 have in common is that they’re all in the science question. I think DancerLynn is right. From what I read they are vertebrates

Oops, she said. Sorry.

yeah they’re for sure all vertebrates, Kingdom Anamalia. I think the guy left a long time ago. Well I think you guys got it, i just hope it helps him, or more importantly his daughter.

Yeah, me too.

You’re welcome. :) Sorry about the guy thing.

i’m sorry I got caught up in another discussion.. I hope the paper turns out ok. :)

Just got back on….and me too! (Hope the paper turns out well). Didnt I answer it (vertebrates) when I said they all had backbones? lol

Sounds like a good answer to me, course it’s not my paper, and the teacher will decide on her correct answer. That question has a few correct answers, guess well just have to wait and see what the teacher says :(

Tell us how it turns out, okay?
