Zoology - September 2007

I imagine myself feeling safer in water along hypopotames than crocdoiles.
Also wolves and lions inspire some fear, while horses or elephants do not. Bears are maybe somewhere in the middle.

I cannot think of any better examples, but I believe many of us have a misconception in appreaciating the real danger factor. Or is our instinct generally on par with reality?

I'm thinking the bear is less dangerous than the other two, but what do you think?

If someone gets wet on the holodeck, then leaves the room, do they stay wet?

This question is prompted by the following event.. When I place the days leave over outside for my nocturnal foxy visitor, I notice several slugs congregating where i put the previous evenings dish. If I then put it in a different place the following night the majority assemble there the night after, and so on.

This summer we caught some tadpoles. They were all dinnerent sizes, one of them already had it's back legs. A few weeks after we brought them home, the one with the back legs turned into a frog. We have had the other ones for a few months now, and none of the others have started to change. Someone told me that they only change in a certain season. Is this true??

I used to get bitten regularly when I was a little kid, but one summer they just stopped. Why? My biology teacher has no idea.

I live in western Washington state. This time of year, a bug comes out that my kids and I simply call "Fairy bugs."
It's a tiny flying insect that looks a bit like a gnat (could be kind of gnat) but flits lazily through the air. It doesn't bite or attempt to go anywhere in particular.
What makes it look like a fairy is it has fine blue hairs on its body. Looking close, it actually looks as if the blue hairs are down-like feathers.
They are pretty little bugs. I would like to know if anyone knows what they are called or a source where I could look it up.

I was watching a show I taped and it had a segment on it about that story. I 'Googled' it and found other pictures, including a strange beast that seemed to use the hind legs mostly for running-not at all similiar to the dog-type thing she found. How many types of animals only suck blood?

Use the diagram to complete the table. Classify each member of the food web as autotroph, heterotroph, and identify the heterotrophs as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, or saprophytes.


I filled out a few i knew, if there right? Use rabbit, fox, bear, bacteria, grass, and berry bushes as the answers


Autotrophs| Heterotrophs| Herbiv, Carniv, Omniv, or Saprop
1. bacteria
2. grass
3. berry bushes
4.
5.
