It seems like all the other species have to live with what mother nature provided them.

When sharks swim close to the shore, why don't they become beached (like a whale)? How do they keep going?

I get a lot of spiders webs in my garden and without exception, when the spider is in the centre of its web, it is orientated with its head towards the ground - is there any particular reason for this? I can think of at least one reason NOT to adopt this position - the spider cannot see birds flying in that might regard it as their next meal.

BUT when I look on line they are not suppose to live in Massachusetts. Shiny, brown, size of a quarter or less cobweb.
I am not stupid, and in a neighboring town several were found in an old cript that was being excivated. I also had a neighbor bit years ago, she lived the Drs said because she was almost 450 lbs. So why don't they show them in Massachusetts?

Hi! there is a forest tent caterpillar in my house, it's already spun it's little cocoon thing, and it's been like that for about nine, ten day. now, i was looking on the internet and i discovered that no website says the same thing about when they become moths. some sites say 2 weeks, some say 3 weeks, one say 10 day, and another said two months! does anyone have an accurate time in which it might come out of the cocoon? thanks :)

My friend and I have a debate about the Aborigines having a lion slapping cermony into adulthood - I don't think there were lions in Australia origanally, though....

We moved to Florida in December and I loved watching the Eagles. They were lots of them at the lake near our home, but now I never see any. I would not think they migrate but why are they no longer here?

The same goes for schools of dolphin, fish, whales and nearly all species of birds......sheep, horses. Is it always the same animal in the lead? How does the last animal.....could be 50th or 350th in the flock/pack know what direction the first is going to go in to change direction at the same moment?

I am a marine biology student, and I have an opportunity coming up to interact with a pod of dolphins with my teacher/mentor, so I was wondering what kind of behavior I should avoid so I don't scare them off.

Thanks for clicking my question XD. I need to know about any kind of animal cruelty around the world, especially if it is affiliated with zoos. If you could share any light on the topic, I will be so greatful!

I'm not an expert on this stuff, only a person who reads National Geographic and Discover and watches zoos' panda cams. So if this sounds ignorant, please forgive me.

The discovery of the giant panda's "pygmy panda" ancestor was in the news:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070618/sc_afp/usanimalschinapanda_070618210510

The scientists claim that the small panda skull they found proves the existence of a now-extinct pygmy panda ancestor. My question is, how do they know it was a small ancient adult panda and not a modern panda cub? What was different?

I know panda cubs grow *really* fast, so I was thinking they'd have a lot of cartilage and their skulls would look different from adults'--would that be right, or am I off base?

Just curious. I really wish pygmy pandas were still around, so I could have one as a pet! :-)
