Chameleon: Chameleons are not mammals because they do not possess the key characteristics that
define mammals like Mammary gland, Hair or fur, and Warm-bloodedness.

Panda: Pandas are not reptiles because they belong to a completely different taxonomic group known as
mammals. Reptiles and mammals are two distinct classes of vertebrate animals with significant
differences in their characteristics, anatomy, and physiology.

Turtle: These differences in anatomy, reproduction, metabolism, and evolutionary history clearly
separate turtles from birds and place them in distinct biological classifications. Turtles have their own
unique characteristics and adaptations that have allowed them to thrive in their own ecological niche.

Flamingo: Flamingos belong to the order Phoenicopteriformes and are classified as birds. They share
many common features with other birds, such as feathers, beaks, and the ability to fly. Their bodies are
adapted for a terrestrial and aquatic lifestyle, but their anatomical structure is fundamentally different
from that of fish.

Pelican: Pelicans are highly adapted to aquatic environments and are excellent swimmers, they are
considered birds due to their overall anatomy, physiology, and evolutionary lineage. Birds have distinct
respiratory and circulatory systems, specialized adaptations for flight, and other features that clearly
differentiate them from amphibians.
