I am going to creat a wall display of animal skeltons indicating how many bones are in the animal, I need to know where to download skeletal animal pictures from and how to find out the number of bones in the animal, this is for holloween wall display in a radiology dept of a hospital, I want to creat a fun way of celebrating holloween and a leaning experience at the same time. any animals would be fine. I don't have the funds to purchase items to display it must be something I can print from the web. we will have school children (classrooms) tour the hospital and instead of scary I am looking for informational, fun and holloweenie.

Are they the same? If not, what's different about them?

then do they have to slow their metabolism at night in order to sleep and still wake up in the morning without having starved to death? i just spent a little while watching about 6 of the little suckers fighting over my feeder (too funny) and gosh they use so much energy up on that!!!

it's a random question i know, but i think it would be interesting to know the answer. :)

Are they actually that intelligent or do their agility fool me?

We have found a number of tiny baby black snakes in the finished basememt - near the walls, on the carpet, on the tile. We live near lots of woods and trees. While working in the garden, we occasionally come across a small snake. I don't know how they get into the house or the garage.

What can I use to prevent them from coming into the house? Do you think they are in the walls?

I asked a question earlier about which one was the most dangerous snake; the black mamba or the king cobra. However, I got to thinking.

What is the most dangerous, non-venomous snake, in terms of population and how close it is with humans? I would think the anaconda but the python and boa constrictors sound more forboding.

According to Animal Planet and what we've learned in school, the Black Mamba is the most dangerous snake in the world (and the fastest one at that) because of A) it's aggressive nature, B) its potent venom, and C) the ability to strike repeatedly with more venom being injected each time.

However, on an episode of Animal Planet's "The Most Extreme," it was noted that the King Cobra was the deadliest. Athough its venom is less potent than that of the Mamba, it can inject copious amounts of it. According to this show, the Mamba is the 3rd most dangerous snake. The second is the Taipan, a venomous snake found in Australia (but the Taipan is quite shy unless it's cornered).

To me, I have reason to believe that the Mamba is the most dangerous considering its aggressive nature and the potency of its venom. If bitten, a person has between 45 min. and an hour to receive anti-venom treatment, which isn't very long, considering that anti-venom is scarce where the Mamba lives.

i saw one last year, it was in a caravan i was staying in. I scooped it out but it was really quick and somehow kept flying back in the caravan again, obviously after the light as it was dark outside,after about 6 attempts of evicting it i think it got the message and went. It was an amazing moth though, the skull on its back was amazing. I have also heard that moths follow the moon, why is this??

We have centipedes/millipedes.. whatever they are, they gross me out and I hate them. Anyway, they like to creep around my bathroom and run at me at random. Do they bite? Are they poisonous? What is the best way to keep them away?

This snake is very aggressive and I have not been able to locate the type of snake online. Anyone have any ideas of what it could be? It was seen in Southern Florida.
