Zoology - November 2006

Okay, so we've been talking about this at work lately.
People all over the world eat all kinds of meat. Cows, pigs, chickens, dogs, fish, whatever they can swallow.

So, the question is, Why don't people eat horses?
It's a silly question, but I'd like to hear some serious answers.

So far we've determined that if you own a horse, it's much more valuable as a horse, than as food. We've also determined that the meat may, or may not be that great. And finally, is it possible that horses carry some sort of virus or disease that humans wouldnt want to consume?

?

Could this really be possible?

I thought dogs and cats had completely incompatible genes/chromosome counts which meant this would be impossible. I mean they're not even closely related species are they?

Yeah,yeah.I know they live way apart.But just imagine it!Anyways I think the croc would win.It has jaw pressure 5x of a Great white shark.The gorilla has enough streagth to lift a 2 cars.But he is outta his element.Crocodiles are near any pleasant pool of water..And sense the gorilla is a land mammal lets just say he is not waterproof.

A recent video with an analysis of such a creature convinced me. The analysis was by a military professional, & made perfect sense. The recent news report of the highway worker who had thrown a dead deer into the back of his idling pickup truck at 1am, and the 7foot creature that was suddenly in the rear view mirror reaching for the carcass & shaking the truck sure had the ring of truth to it.I disbelieve the "evolutionary link" theory, but do consider it likely and possible that a non-social creatre of this nature could certainly exist.What do you believe, why, & do you have a bigfoot experience or story to share?

I'm just wondering, how will you know just from their features if they're poisonous/not?
Is it easy to identify them?

I just put up a humming bird feeder in Los Angeles, California. It is so so busy :) I love it! Would one be so lucky to find humming bird experts out there?

This question is based on a Yahoo! Odd News article I read today (11-17-06). Look at the story. Is there any scientific knowledge on this subject--for or against?

I have come across an interesting statement on the net. It is said in
one article that according to etology (the science studying the behavoral patterns of animals, around 90% of wild animals have never had sexual intercourse. It sounds stunning but perhaps someone could either support or oppose to this statement.
