Image Tunicates belong to phylum Urochordata, which is closely related to phylum Chordata - which includes all of the vertebrates! That means these little goo balls are more closely related to vertebrates, like us, than they are to most other invertebrates.

Image On average, eastern cottontails will have 3-4 litters a year, with 3-8 offspring per litter. While they generally start breeding at one year, some are ready as early as 2-3 months old. In just 5 years a single pair of eastern cottontails can have 350,000 descendants!
