Zoology - October 2006

I don't mean how high above sea level, so if they're on a mountain range, how high off the GROUND will they fly? To me they don't fly particularly high, but I was just wondering if they could fly as high as a bird. The Lord of the Rings film was what provoked me into asking this, since there's a scene where a butterfly flies towards Gandalf on top of that tall black building and turns into a bird. I just wanted to know if it's possible for a butterfly to fly up that high.

Do cats have a reliable homing instinct. Or are they too selfish and independent to be of any use?

About 300,000,000 years ago, some insects were much larger during the late Paleozoic period because Earth's air had an oxygen content of 35%, as compared to 21% during the present age. Dragon flies, for example, had a wingspan of two and one-half feet. How would you like THEM buzzing your picnic table?

I read somewhere that the fingerprints of koala bears are so similar to human fingerprints that they could be confused with humans at a crime scene.

I don't know why koalas would be at a crime scene, but has anyone heard that and does anyone believe that?

If a cricket is not being held in someone's hand, it is more likely for them to actually bite you, or for you to get hurt by the barbs on its legs?

It is a mammal. It has off-white rings around its long tail. It is reddish brown with a white muzzle and a raccoonish face. It's also about the size of a raccoon, but with a pointier snout. I have a picture of it, so I can cross reference your answers with pictures on the internet. I saw them at Cypress Gardens.

I've been wondering this for a long time because coyotes in the east are as much as 2 times larger than the coyotes in the west. I have heard that eastern coyotes are not true coyotes but a coyote/wolf hybrid. Is this true? In the east some coyotes have grown as large as a german shepard. And coyotes in the east have been know to kill large prey like deer, and even cattle!

So why is there no Evolution??

... and why do scientists today treat it as a religion??

If there is no such thing, it must be a false god!

Surely, this should add new life to 'dead animal studies'??!!
