We have found 5 of these in the past couple of months, they are brown with scales and they kinda look like a snake with legs. They have a triangular shaped head. When we moved out here 20 years ago, my dad found one lying up in the forks of a tree, it was about 3 feet long and as big around as my upper arm. It kinda freaked us out, and we haven't seen any more until about 2 months ago. Help!! Is it poisonous? What is it?

How do the fish that live in the depths of the ocean withstand the pressure, seeing as our submarines cannot? Also, how are they able to breathe given that the oxygen levels are very low at those depths?

Bees have been dying off in huge numbers, so estimate that 70% of bee populations have died recently.
I have heard various theories on colony collapse including parasites affecting them, cell phone transmissions confusing their signals to the hive, pollution, etc.

I went and talked to a bee keeper who said the answer is much simpler - greed. Some beekeepers primarily make money off delivering hives to crop growers who need pollinators. They are not using the hives primarily for honey, and are bringing these hives of bees all over the country to pollinate whatever is in season at that time so they might move the hives from oranges to cherries to apples to clover etc. The hives are not living in one spot long enough to become well established. Then as they grow, they are deviding the hives with an immature queen instead of waiting and devided the hives properly. All of this is stressing the bees too much and causing a collapse of the hive because it is destroying the bees.

Ok, someone please help me out here. In Ohio, on a college campus i THINK is Baldwin-Wallace (but I'll doublecheck that...it was years ago when I visited colleges there for schooling prospects)....there are these very large squirrels, that are colored, more or less, like skunks. Only the striping isn't as uniform. More or less, their bodies are mottled with a combination of very dark brown to black fur, with random patches of white fur. Now, I was 18 at the time and not too wordly, so I just figured it was some squirrel species I didn't know about yet...but as time hass gone on, I've never seen brownish-black/white squirrels anywhere else on earth....what the hell species is this? They're abundant too on this campus...I probably saw 25 or 30 fitting this description so it's not some fluke albino or bizarre mutant....it's an abundant population of squirrels like this.

So please zoology majors...clue me in...what species is this? Surely it can't be an unknown species...can it?

I realize that the different types of cats tend to be sexually isolated from each other due to mechanical isolation (the penis of a large cat wouldn't fit into the vagina of a smaller cat, and vice versa). However, different types of cats have been selectively bred by biologists with some success. For example, lions and tigers can be bred through in-vitro fertilization, yielding ligers. The mynx cat can be produced by cross breeding a manx and a sphinx. Bear in mind that a species consists of organisms that can reproduce with one another. Humans from China, England, and Hawaii, and Kenya all have different physiological appearances, but they are still the same species since they can reproduce with one another. The biological classification refers to the feline family, but are all felines really the same species?

They traveled the railroad tracks and jumped
into the swollen creek. They swam across the creek and attacked dogs, attempted to enter houses, ransacked trash cans, attacked
people. My family and I lived there for about
four years. They seemed almost hyper after
a flood, or a tornado
