Zoology - December 2006

I bought a tibia from the Valkenburg caves Kerstmaarkt last night (Because im so interested in anything biology) and I took it to my biology teacher today who said it was a fossil! Naturally, I find it very exciting, but it sucks because I cant identify what it went to. I DO know it's a tibia- the top is the knee socket, and on the bottom on opposiite sides are indentations for two ball sockets. In between those two is like, a raised ridge going from front to back. It's about 28 CM long...

Im sitting here getting annoyed at a moth that keeps flying past my light and making wierd shadows on the screen and it got me wondering why moths are attracted to lights... I know people say it is because they think its the moon but why would a moth's instincts tell it to fly towards the moon anyway?

I just got back last month from a 2 month vacation in a mountain region of the Adriatic coast. There were long, pristine nature trails everywhere, that delved deeply in every diretion. I would walk several miles alone every day... but I noticed a plethora of intricate sub-trails intertwining through the trails, tons of them, but they were not high enough for a human to have made them. When I asked my friends what created them, they said wild boar. First, do you think this is true? Second, if I was walking deep into the mountains surrounded by wild boar, I am very lucky to have not encountered them--but if I had, what could they have done to me? I would appreciate any assistance.

I've let a variety of different spiders bite me but as of yet I haven't developed any "spiderman" style superpowers. Any tips on how I could go about this? E.g. Let a particular breed of this arachnid bite me?

We are going to be around and there is more coming. Why can't we interact with them and they will eventually form symbiotic relationships like dogs and cats. As a kid, cats would be oblivious to an oncoming car. Todays feral cats notice cars 100%, the surviving cats have adapted.

People eat the meat, obviously. But what about the bone? Is all that just wasted?

Come on fellas, tell me you havent at least thought about it before.
Anyway, would it give birth if I didnt pull out on time or something
Would the baby have a billy goat? Hehe and eat on tin cans?
Would it have a tail?
Would he have to shoot it and blow its brains out cause it would be twitching as soon as it came out.
Weird huh?
LOL!

I think dogs are vacinated too much. What shots do they really need. Also do they need heartworm all year long
