Funny, I wasn't aware that worms had backbones. That's what "vertebrate" means, you know.

Your words:

"Instead, we see all animals have two lungs, two kidneys, one liver, one heart, one brain. Granted, some animals have additional lobes on their lungs, but they still have two lungs."

I know what you mean, but it was your mistake, not mine

Did you see me list the stomach as one of the included organs? Besides that, how many stomach's does a cow have?

That's the spirit. I think the answer is "four". Or like 1 stomache, but in 4 compartments. In my native language we'd call those digestive compartments stomaches(sp?). Isn't digestive compartment what a stomach is?

You apparently do not know what a vertebrate is, and you want to say that *I* don't know biology?

I believe this has already been addressed.

From www.kcc.org.nz... which is a fact sheet about the tuataras.

What’s this about a ‘third eye’ ??

The ‘third eye’ is visible under young tuatara’s skin and becomes covered with scales after four to six months. The ‘third eye’ soaks up UV (ultra violet) rays in the first few months of the tuatara’s life. The young tuatara get Vitamin D from the UV rays, which helps them grow into healthy adult tuatara.

Ummm.... an organ to manufacture Vitamin D doesn't sound like an "eye" to me. It sounds suspiciously like.... an organ to manufacture Vitamin D.

From wikipedia:

The tuatara has a third eye on the top of its head called the parietal eye. It has its own lens, cornea, retina with rod-like structures and degenerated nerve connection to the brain, suggesting it evolved from a real eye. The parietal eye is only visible in hatchlings, which have a translucent patch at the top centre of the skull. After four to six months it becomes covered with opaque scales and pigment. Its purpose is unknown, but it may be useful in absorbing ultraviolet rays to manufacture vitamin D, as well as to determine light/dark cycles, and help with thermoregulation. Of all extant tetrapods, the parietal eye is most pronounced in the tuatara. The parietal eye is part of the pineal complex, another part of which is the pineal gland, which in tuatara secretes melatonin at night. It has been shown that some salamanders use their pineal body to perceive polarised light, and thus determine the position of the sun, even under cloud cover, aiding navigation.
