Unlike the modern chapters, which tend to be of roughly similar length, the distance from one kephalaion mark to the next varied greatly in length both within a book ( the Sermon on the Mount, comprising three chapters in the modern system, has but one kephalaion mark, while the single modern chapter 8 of the Gospel of Matthew has several, one per miracle ) and from one book to the next ( there were far fewer kephalaia in the Gospel of John than in the Gospel of Mark, even though the latter is the shorter text ).

The Common basilisk, along with the other members of its genus, take the nickname the " Jesus Christ Lizard " or " Jesus Lizard " because when fleeing from predators, they gather sufficient momentum to run across the water for a brief distance while holding most of their body out of the water ( similar to the Biblical miracle of Jesus walking on water ).

At one point Delirium briefly appears as hundreds of colorful fishes similar to Morpheus appearing as a cat or fox.

While a few scientists still regard the living agnaths as only superficially similar, and argue that many of these similarities are probably shared basal characteristics of ancient vertebrates, recent classifications clearly place hagfish ( the Myxini or Hyperotreti ), with the lampreys ( Hyperoartii ) as being more closely related to each other than either is to the jawed fishes.

They are largely carrion feeders and predators of large worms and similar small creatures, but various species also attack weakened fishes much as some lampreys do, and accordingly rank as opportunistic parasitoids under at least some conditions.

Bichirs have a number of other primitive characteristics, including fleshy pectoral fins superficially similar to those of lobe-finned fishes.

These fishes are named for their oversized, recurved palatine teeth, similar to those of saber-toothed cats.

In a peculiar coincidence, the Foxface Rabbitfish ( Siganus vulpinus ) and related species have evolved a strikingly similar coloration and pattern ; here it is almost certain that the colors are aposematic, as these fishes use a poisonous sting to defend themselves.

Fish faunas from Tournaisian sites around the world are very alike in composition, containing common and ecologically similar species of ray-finned fishes, rhizodont lobe-finned fishes, acanthodians, sharks, and holocephalans.

Both ice fishes and the tripod fish use a similar strategy of sitting motionless above the substrate with the attendant benefits that motionlessness brings to a nonvisual, particularly mechanosensory, function.

The 2 species were the first to be found in Lamalera Sea, but the similar types of fishes has been found in Bali before.

Apollonius in the Conics further developed a method that is so similar to analytic geometry that his work is sometimes thought to have anticipated the work of Descartes — by some 1800 years.

Yet our state is similar to a cancer cell — with its messianism and expansionism, its totalitarian suppression of dissent, the authoritarian structure of power, with a total absence of public control in the most important decisions in domestic and foreign policy, a closed society that does not inform its citizens of anything substantial, closed to the outside world, without freedom of travel or the exchange of information.

Submarine channels are similar to land rivers, but they are formed by density currents — underwater flow mixtures of sand, mud and water that are denser than sea water and so sink and flow along the bottom.

A search in the genomes of vertebrates turned up a set of analogous genes, which were found to play similar roles in the mouse biological clock — and therefore almost certainly in the human biological clock as well.

Similarly, when Jean de Schelandre wrote about Banquo in his Stuartide in 1611, he also changed the character by portraying him as a noble and honourable man — the critic D. W. Maskell describes him as “… Schelandre's paragon of valour and virtue ”— probably for reasons similar to Shakespeare's.

CNTs are readily aligned in a high density geometry ( i. e., a vertically aligned forest ) but lack high charge density surfaces — the sidewalls of the CNTs are similar to the basal plane of graphene and exhibit low charge density except where edge defects exist.

Confucius never stated whether man was born good or evil, noting that ' By nature men are similar ; by practice men are wide apart ' — implying that whether good or bad, Confucius must have perceived all men to be born with intrinsic similarities, but that man is conditioned and influenced by study and practise.
