Comparative physiology

Comparative physiology is a way for scientists to learn about different types of animals by comparing their bodies and how they work. Scientists look at things like what kind of food the animal eats, how it moves, and how it uses energy. By looking at how different animals do the same things, scientists can learn what makes each animal special. For example, we may see that some animals eat the same foods but have different parts of their body that help them digest it differently. Or, we may see that different animals use different amounts of energy to move around. Comparing animals helps scientists to learn more about how animals work and how they are all connected.
