Either being territoriality aggressive or sexually aggressive.

He want's that cat's sweet ass.

>>2026297
That's a tortoise, hon.

>>2026483
there's no difference.

tortoise, turtle or terrapin refers to the fenotype of the same animal.

>>2026486
Yes but people calling land turtles aka tortoises "turtles" is what leads to stupid people thinking they're all aquatic and throwing tortoises into lakes imagining that they're saving it. The distinction literally saves lives.

>>2026493
even if they knew the difference they'd still end up throwing them into lakes, because people are retarded.

it doesn't make a difference.

>>2026494
Coming from the person who insists all reptiles are amphibians.

reptiles are a class of amphibians.

>what are clades
It's more like calling everything that evolved from X what X most resembles today. I.e. everything with vertebrae are bony fish.

Also there are two different definitions of amphibian, one that describes lifestyle and one that describes a paraphyletic group.

>taxonomically speaking
No, you mean cladistically speaking. Taxonomy has groups like Reptilia despite birds being more closely related to some reptiles than other reptiles. When something changes significantly through evolution it can stop being a thing that it evolved from. See prokaryotes > eukaryotes

> you mean cladistically speaking
cladistics are taxonomy.
