Zoology - September 2006

So I'm sitting in my English class right now and there's been a claim made that all mammals have hair. I argued against this. All mammals breastfeed their babies, that's the criterion. Am I right about the hair - not all of them have it, right? Dolphins and whales are mammals, and I do not think they have hair (well, maybe nose hair).

Ok,
Soo, I remember hearing a professor tell me that "in a desert, where an animal has nowhere to hide, a human could catch nearly every animal over a long period of time." I guess the argument was that we have more stamina than every animal and we could just follow their tracks and eventually catch up with them. Is there any truth to this? My coworkers are telling me there is no way we could catch an antelope.

Thanks,

I live in MN. I've got some bugs that really creep me out, but I haven't been able to identify them online. They have the appearance of a hairy caterpillar, although they are pretty slim compared to the catepillars I've seen. Brown in color, with a lot of hair. They do have legs, and are super fast. They also seem to not like the light, because if I turn on a light they go scurrying for the darkness. They also have the ability to climb the walls, which creeps me out even more. I'd like to know what they are so I can buy the right product to make them disappear.

I love animals and I want to work with them as a career. I don't know if I want to be a vet (since im not so strong with biology) but I want a job that works with exotic animals like tigers, cheetahs, and the likes! I seen ideas like being a Naturalist (but I don't know if thats actually a career) or an actual Vet or anything!

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Everyday, when I return from work there are at least 5 dragonflies on the house. But this seems to be the case everywhere I go. Plus, i saw a news headline on TV last week but i didn't have time to watch the news so I missed out on why there are so many dragonflies.

Any advices on how to track them? How to know which area they hang out at a lot? How to avoid alarming them? Any advices will be helpful. I would like to take more photography of them if possible.

I am terrified of spiders! I've seen about 4 of these in my house. They looked sort of like a brown recluse, but at the end of their legs , instead of just pointed, they are round. (Sort of like little balls for feet) I've seen about 3 in the clothes hamper and 1 in the bathtub. They are weird looking, but I can't find a picture of them on internet. They are about 1/2 to 3/4 inches long. Yuck!
