CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This relationship sums up our work on many levels. The elephant is strong and confident, but sometimes doesn’t know its own strength, and has been known to unwittingly trample things in its path. The mouse is tiny and timid, but can also be agile and nimble, as well as quite perceptive about its surroundings.

Detailed explanation-2: -Their closest extant relatives are the sirenians (dugongs and manatees) and the hyraxes, with which they share the clade Paenungulata within the superorder Afrotheria. Elephants and sirenians are further grouped in the clade Tethytheria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bigger animals have lower metabolic rates (B). The need for such adaptation stems from simple geometry. As body volume increases, surface area increases more slowly. So an elephant radiates and loses less energy per gram than a mouse and thus requires less replacement energy per gram.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Fat cells increase in size tremendously if you move from a mouse to an elephant, ” said James Gillooly, an assistant professor in the zoology department of UF’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “Neurons also increase in size. But red blood cells are the same size whether they are in a mouse or an elephant.
