Zoology - June 2006

I've tried searching the net to find out why this is. Not having any luck...do you know why exactly this occurs in the animal kingdom? Why doesn't it occur in human infants?

The question clearly refers to a lake, not rivers or river systems i.e. Amazon river basin. SO search under fresh water lakes.

The lake is situated in Africa, apart from the fact that it contains the greatest number of fresh water fish species for a lake on the planet, it also contains the greatest number of endemic fish species.

This snake was seen rapidly slithering across the road out in dairy country. My first reaction was that it was a rattlesnake, but I want to be sure. I didn't get a close look to see if there was a rattle on the tail. By the time I parked my car, it was gone. It was tan with a brown pattern, almost like a checkered print, on the body. The head was raised and this snake moved fast.

Okay here's why I asked this: I've been enjoying catching and releasing turtles since I was a little girl. My friends, family and I started a tradition wear we'd paint their plastrons with unique symbols made from nail polish, so we'd recognize them if we'd catch 'em again. Some markings last longer than others. Besides natural wear, I figured that some lasted longer than others because if the turtle was still growing bigger, it's shell would get bigger and stretch the nail polish making it crack off. This one Blanding's turtle we've been catching for over the past five years and his markings are still there! He's obviously done growing. But there's this one little painted turtle I caught this year that's no bigger than it was last year, and the marking looked as new as it did last year. But the turtle looked pretty little and looked like it should have grown some. Maybe it's a "midget" turtle?

I know that lizards shed their tail when in danger. But I want to know...why does the tail keep shaking even after it has been detached fromt he lizard's body? What allows it to keep shaking? And how long will it keep shaking?
And judgning by lizards, does this mean if a human's hand is cut off, it can continue shaking? Thanks
NB: I hate lizards sooo much

I realise it's a bit of a daft question, but is there any truth to the belief that elephants are afraid of mice?
