Zoology - December 2007

What kind of spider is this?
Me and my wife have a 3 week old baby and we have been getting these spiders relatively frequently. They are very big much like a wolf spider but I know that they are not one of those. They have "muscular" legs unlike a wolf's thinner legs.
They are not afraid of people. We see them run, then they stop and we are able to get very close to observe and photograph before whacking it.
We are deathly afraid of spiders so please no one say that it is better to leave them alone. We basically live always keeping and eye out and worry about the baby.
Please identify it, and is it aggressive or poisonous???

This whole wild tiger thing really has me freaked out. All my friends are saying that it has something to do with a mutated gene in cat species. I don't wanna sound like a baby but if I go to the zoo or a friends house who has cats/tigers, what can i do to be safe? Thanks

okay i found a spider that i think was a brown recluse and i am worried that my baby sister may get bitten by one if it was one and i want to know if anyone could identify it

okay here is the desciption, well it was pretty dark brown and there was a half of a diamond elongated and thin in the middle of the thorax and on both sides starting about a forth of the way down the diamond there were four dots on both sides

the problems with me not being able to identify it is that every pic I see is either they all look different or the pics are too small to see the details.

I think that because nasty poisonous biting things are cold blooded (well apart from ex-wives, but that statement is a matter of opinion) and they had lots of sun, the buggers were free to swan about evolving into more and more nasty things.

and came after you where in the ZOO would you run if you had a few seconds to decide ....Is there a cage you would rather be in ?

I would jump into the Monkeys or Gorillas cage as they seem more like us and would perhaps "Sence" the Fear and try to even help out .

Yes it clearly posed risk to human life but are human lives more valuable than that of the tiger and why not just tranquilize it? Also it was human error which led to the tiger escaping as the enclosure walls were too low and it simply followed its natural instincts.

When I watch nature shows, sometimes the narrator says that certain animals such as cockroaches and sharks have stayed relatively the same for thousands for years.

Isn't natural selection and evolution supposed to be a fierce competition with an animal's prey and predators? Is it understood how they gained such a large advantage (that they could stay that way for thousands of years) if each few generation is supposed to be the tiniest of changes?

Note, I am not one of those crazy religious fundies. I would like to know what is the most supported explanation

Inebriated humans is not an answer! :-P

I was wondering, which animals won't be able to stand up on their own after falling over?

I have heard it with cows - from "cow tipping" myths - however, I don't know how true that is. I know cow tipping itself is not possible, but is it true that if they did fall to their side, they wouldn't be able to get back up on their own?

Are there any other animals that can't get back up on their own after falling? Or is there any history of such animals which Darwin has naturally sent to the recycling bin?
