If you were going to use morphology, which of these animals would you think is most related to a hawk: a shark, a bat, or an alligator? explain what morphological criteria you used to make your choice.

A bat.

Since morphology refers to external feature, a bat would be most related to a hawk due to the wings and fairly similar external body structure. A shark and alligator both have no external similar appearances to a hawk.

A bat is also the only creature listed that also has the ability to fly.

Hope this helps!
