FK Action Project #1 for Population 10/12/21

 This is my action project for a class called population at GCE Lab School. For this assignment I was told to pick an organism ( I chose bulldog) and say it's taxonomy/morphology, compare it to two other organisms( I chose a lobster and a kinkajou because there my favorite animal  with a ven diagram and set notation, and create a physical representation of are organism's taxonomy ( I did a drawn diagram of a bulldogs insides) . But first I will tell you a little about the bulldog. The bulldog or Canis Lupus ( in binomial nomanclature) is a species of dog that is moderate in size and has a very small tail. I chose it simply because I have one named Gravy and I love him.  Now enjoy! 

The English bulldog is a brawny little powerhouse whose characteristic crablike waddle exudes great strength, stability and vigor.

The ears are thin, small and angle forward like flaps that frame the forehead. The English bulldog's neck is short and thick; the shoulders are massive, muscular and broad. The chest is deep and full, and the back is barreled and slightly arched.

The English bulldog's skin is loose and pendant with heavy wrinkles and thick folds on the face and a dewlap hanging from the throat.

The English bulldog has a sweet, gentle disposition.

English bulldogs make fine apartment pets and do not require a yard.

Generally loud breathers, English bulldogs tend to snore and wheeze.

Named for its use in the sport of bull baiting, the English bulldog seems to have originated in the British Isles sometime prior to the 13th century.

Taxonomic Level	Your organism’s group	Key characteristics of group
Kingdom	Animalia.	They are multicellular organisms which do not possess chlorophyll. They are eukaryotic organisms. Cell wall is absent. Mode of nutrition is heterotrophic i.e. they depend on other organisms for food.
Phylum	Chordata.	a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail
Class	Mammalia.	have four limbs and produce amniotic eggs. The mammal class is defined by the presence of mammary glands and hair (or fur). Other traits of mammals include sweat glands in their skin, alveoli in their lungs, a four-chambered heart, and a brain covering called the neocortex.
Order	Carnivora.	elongated and pointed canines with a conical shape called tusks which are used to kill prey; the premolar and molar teeth have a pointed shape with one or more sharp cusps;
Family	Canidae.	Their bodies are lithe and muscular and (in most cases) their legs are long, which gives them speed and endurance to run down prey.
Genus	Canis	assive, well-developed skulls and dentition, long legs, and comparatively short ears and tails.
Species	lupus	grizzled gray coat with a darker shoulder mantle.    .

bulldogs, lobsters, and kinkajou's all have tails. They are all alive. They all taste good with butter.
