Zoology - October 2007

I am a Chinese living in my country. I love animals and really want to know more about them, do you think some of the American zoos can accept me as a volunteer? it looks like all the application forms are for Americans, should i stop wasting my time? does it mean that it is impossible for foreigners doing volunteer work in the US? Thank you very much!

I would like to know if the FDA allows a certain amount of moth larvae in food. I have been told this. I recently had a disgusting experience buying a bar and finding it absolutely infested with moth larvae. It has continued to produce further moths and larvae for over a month.

Why is it that if we kill a couple of bald eagles, they go on the endangered list, but yet we kill cows like it's going outta style and and we're yet to see a depletion on the cow population. What's up with that mang!!?? When was the last time you heard of a cow on the endangered list? It would be like hearing about Prez. Bush winning a Noble Prize in astro physics.

Do they come out and lay on the pavement the same way as earthworms? I want to go jogging, but I don't know if it's safe since its raining, and there's rattlesnakes around the trails.

Exact species would be nice, but genus is OK too.

Cheetahs are unique because they combine physical traits of two distinctly different animal families: dogs and cats. They belong to the family of cats, but they look like long-legged dogs. They sit and hunt like dogs. They can only partially retract their claws, like dogs instead of cats. Their paws are thick and hard like dogs. They contract diseases that only dogs suffer from. The light-colored fur on their body is like the fur of a shorthaired dog. However, to climb trees they use the first claw on their front paws in the same way that cats do. In addition to their dog only diseases, they also get cat only ones. And the black spots on their bodies are, inexplicably, the texture of cat’s fur.

Genetic tests have been done on them and the surprising result was that in the 50 specimens tested, they were all, every one genetically identical with all the others.

Does anybody have any ideas which would explain cheetahs' genetic uniformity?

Around my neighborhood, about a month ago I saw a bird that look something like a crow and pigeon, but I brushed it off thinking....crows..in brooklyn, nah. But I kept seeing these weird species. Then one day normally where I see this bird, I saw crows! Yup I'm 100 % sure they were crows, so I was thinking that I knew what I was talkin about...but when I saw the crows around...I didn't see the pigeons, and when I saw the pigeons around I didn't see the crows...and when I saw this weird looking mix between a crow, and pigeon...they were with other pigeons..but no crows...who knows if it is possible for crows, and pigeons to mate?
