  4. Fabulous song!

    And here's your answer to what is a fish-zoologically speaking as you asked in the comment you left on my post. A fish has gills to breath with and gets its oxygen out of the water using those gills,gill openings to release water, some arrangement fins for swimming (and not like a dolphin or whale fins which have a bone structure very roughly similar to our hands and feet), vertebrae, and live in water most of the time. There are 3 groups of fish, lampreys and hagfish are the first, and they don't really have scales. Then there are sharks, skates and rays that have a cartilage skeleton (as do lampreys and hagfish), hooked scales and no covering to their gills, and finally all the other fish known as boney fish that have flat scales and a covering over their gills. There's lots of other details, but I think this is a nice general answer. Sorry if I got to geeky. It's my zoology classes in college coming through. Smile.

    Hope you're having a nice Monday!

    1. My comment was actually a joke, referring to Stephen Jay Gould saying there's no such thing as fish ;) "Fish" has no biological meaning.
