body structure/face = primate


skin shedding/scale-ish = fish,snake


eggs used to fertilize embryos = spiders, fish, chickens


empathetic = canine


tails in womb = amphibian


canine teeth = canine


survival of fittest/predatory = lion, canine feline


usually stay in packs = canine


shoulder blades = bird


raise/feed/protect children, then send them off = birds


usually comes back to the place originated from/grew up = turtle


strong nails/claws/protection = feline


hairy bodies = primates





etc.

Human-Animal traits?
This is flawed, most superficial characteristics can't be associated with a taxonomic grouping.





"hairy bodies = primates " All mammals have hairy bodies.





"strong nails/claws/protection = feline" Better put as "retractable claws". Most mammals under the order carnivora has claws.





"usually comes back to the place originated from/grew up = turtle" - salmon do the same thing.





"tails in womb = amphibian" Amphibians don't have a womb, they are not placental mammals. Also, all vertebrates have a tail in the early stages of development.





"empathetic = canine" - all social mammals are obviously empathic, even a lot of solitary mammals show such signs.





"eggs used to fertilize embryos = spiders, fish, chickens" - huh? Come on now, Sperm fertilizes an Egg to create and Embryo. This is true for ALL sexually reproducing eukaryotes, which includes Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists





"shoulder blades = bird" most vertabrates have shoulder blades.





"raise/feed/protect children, then send them off = birds" Most warm blooded creatures do this.
Reply:Sorry, but this is nonsense. You should just be learning animal traits and behavior, NOT comparing it to humans.





Animals are NOT empathic.





All animal fetus have tails.
Reply:I found it really interesting actually. Can't help you out with anymore, but never thought about it before. It's good, and very thought provoking.
