do you guyz know an animal that doesn't make a sound at all in its entire life?

...i got couple of more questions but this will do for now.

Darth Revan
Worms are animals and they don't make any sound

Kaleanae
earthworms

Kaleanae
Kiwi, do Kiwi birds make sounds?

Darth Revan
I think that might be it

In fact I'm pretty sure they don't

Kaleanae
I have a question!
the presence of bony column as the organism's structural axis is characteristic of?

Kaleanae
I forgot, the choices are
a. All chordates
b. Cephalochordates only
c. urochordates only
d. vertebrates only
e. hemichordates only

§pearhead
d.) i think...

...uh, HH, to fish make noise? Crocodiles? Are is it confined to just birds?

sexaysnoot

HockeyHorror
do scorpions make sounds?

well i know all animals communicate (or maybe)

yerssot
depends on how you defince noice, but yeah, crocs do
not sure about fish

Kaleanae
Thanks Thanks

Kaleanae
Ants don't make sounds, they comunicate chemically

Darth Revan
Kaleanae--pretty sure D is the answer. Vertebrates tend to have vertebrae, see wink stick out tongue

Hockey--It seems there are a lot of answers to this one...

HockeyHorror
yes i know, but the teacher said be careful with ur answers cuz u might thinks its right but it can be wrong sad

laughing out loud

Heh, we just had a test on that a few weeks ago, Kalaenae...

And I think I heard somewhere that giraffes have no vocal cords, but I've got NO idea if that's true (it probably isn't). I'll ask my teacher about animals that don't make noise if you want laughing out loud

Kaleanae
Yes, please stick out tongue
I don't talk with my teacher because I think she hates me messed

Trinity_Matrix
My teacher's actually pretty cool...a lot better than last year's AP Bio teacher who didn't teach (the class colored for two weeks...and I'm serious. Most of the people who took the AP test last year failed). We've got a test over ecology tomorrow though so I might not get a chance to ask her about it until Wednesday. But my class always gets off topic and talking about totally random things so it won't seem to be out of the ordinary stick out tongue

Kaleanae
Sounds like my Human Anatomy class, In there we really talk about everything and there is always someone that asks some weird question stick out tongue

Trinity_Matrix
Random subjects that have been brought up in my class include: Star Wars (when we were learning about cloning), X-Men (mutations, she was actually surprised when no one started asking about X-Men until halfway through the unit), the Matrix (NO idea where that one always comes from), Legend of Zelda (ditto)...but it's very amusing.

Kaleanae
laughing laughing

yerssot
yay star wars! big grin

Kaleanae
I like your class, my is kind of boring and my teacher is always making offensive comments to the other students in the building messed

Trinity_Matrix
That's horrible!!!

And yeah, it was me who brought up Star Wars big grin

yerssot
sounds like my school

Trinity_Matrix
I was also the one that brought up the Matrix...though I still can't remember how or why I was able to start a conversation on that in bio blink

Kaleanae
Hehehe, you're talkative stick out tongue
I'm always the quiet person in all my classes messed

Trinity_Matrix
I'm actually one of the quietest people in my class...which just goes to show how talkative the rest of the class is laughing out loud

yerssot
why oh why didn't you talk philosophy wink

Trinity_Matrix
Oh! I just remembered how I was able to start a convo on the Matrix in bio! The overhead projecter and the projecter screen are all hooked up to the computer, and a couple times when we were watching a video the projecter would just shut itself off and the screen would go up by itself. Now, we knew that it was because the projecter overheated, but I decided to just randomly yell, "The machines are rebelling against us! The Matrix is taking over!" Which of course made the class think I'm totally insane...but we already knew that, right? laughing out loud

Kaleanae
laughing

yerssot
I do now sad

Kaleanae
My computer teacher says things like that

Darth Revan
Sounds a lot like my science class... My friend always brings up random topics and believe it or not, my teacher goes along with him and talks about what he does

Not THAT off topic though... But one time my friend said "I'm two inches shorter at night than in the morning" and my teacher's like "no way" and my friend says "yeah 'cause in the morning I'm taller than Kevin (me) but at night I'm shorter than him"

And one time he started talking about athelete's foot... And the population density of Japan... laughing

big gay kirk
What about a Ladybird.... that answers both questions at once....

The Force
do snails make a noise?

Kaleanae
Jiraffe/ giraffe

Kaleanae
No big grin
