Cats and dogs are both mammals because they have hair, are warm-blooded, and nourish their young with milk. Dogs and cats are distinct species, incapable of producing offspring together because of the many differences in their genome.

In one or two sentences, explain how cats and dogs, both mammals, could be classified as distinct animals. What characteristics set them apart from one another?

Cats and dogs can be classified as distinct animals because of their physical characteristics, behavior, and genetic makeup. Cats are generally smaller and more independent, while dogs are often larger and have a more social nature.

An exoskeleton provides protection, support, and prevents desiccation, but it limits growth and mobility due to its rigidity, while a backbone provides internal support and flexibility, but relies on muscle support for protection and has increased susceptibility to injury.

Reptiles are cold-blooded, lay eggs, have dry and scaly skin, breathe through lungs, and have a three-chambered heart, while mammals are warm-blooded, give live birth, have hair or fur, breathe through lungs and sometimes gills, and have a four-chambered heart.

"Distinct animals" in this context means that cats and dogs can be easily differentiated from each other, despite being both mammals. They have distinct physical characteristics, temperaments, behaviors, and genetic makeups that set them apart.
