Small incisions changed also traumatology in the last years. There is not need anymore to cut open and make a big scar for accessing the shoulder for example. Is a big improvement also for the newest generations of human surgeons.

Bird poo is a big problem to solar panels, and aquatic birds release a lot of very sticky product and will try to land in the panels to rest. This is -the- problem IMAO. They will need to find how to spray and clean the panels routinely or

Tail includes the fluke (flat lobes at the end) but starts before that. We know this because pelvic bones of cetaceans are still vestigial and can be found around the "second third" of the body or so. So we know where the legs wou

Humans are too slow swimming. The bow riding maneuver needs to be able to enter in the wave and also to move away fast when you want to stop the ride. The risk to lose the wave and be killed by the propeller if you don't move away very

In my experience they just enjoy the free ride while traveling towards open sea. Like a skater hanging from a pickup. They save a lot of energy in the process probably. They seem also to enjoy to watch the humans while doing that. One of th

Just one footnote. Not everybody must know taxonomy and we all have different skills Scientific names were created to be universal language. To achieve that they have a few rules that grant that everybody can communicate. The genus is Neobu

> Spain relies on imports from Norway and Sweden With domestic I mean a domestic animal, one breed in captivity, not one from Spain. I should probably used "domesticated" instead.

If the parasites are visible my understanding is that is not sashimi grade meat and would be smoked or processed in several ways instead. I assume that Japanese would assure to remove any undesirable aspect in the meat before to make the f

Probably, and the fish would leak oils. The dishwasher would smell like fish for some time also and your meat would smell like detergent. This is some "Q-mamon grade" advice, only to be taken seriously by the very dumb or very nai

Some populations have more parasites than other. Sashimi is cut in fine translucent lames in part for easing to spot the parasites (or more precisely to verify the absence of parasites).

It was the most logical one with the data available at that moment. More data were added later leading to a better understanding of the case. I understand why the police would feel the urge to advertise themselves and say "See? We are

Chironomids probably. They swarm and have short lives of days or hours, don't eat and are tiny and harmless, so probably more a welcomed change to the numbing routine than real nuissance.

We have a notable and beautiful spring this year. Even women sprout from the soil.

Totally believable. Is not uncommon for the species to eat carrion when they found it.

Old males meat has a very strong pungent taste. Pigs at the supermarket are either young or castrated to remove the problem. Hunters favor also young boars over the older males (unless the goal is the trophy and in that case the meat could

You need to think further. A piglet is also a pig.

In fact, eating lots of boars is the whole and complete definition of keeping boar populations in check.

by pvaldes 4y ago
This is common biology knowledge and has been proven. Pigs do it also. Fishes also change its strategies under heavy predator's pressure. Shouldn't be difficult to find examples on any decent ecology handbook

Those fishes are true hermaphrodytes in fact. Its reproductive organs have a part male and a part female. Both perfectly able to produce functional gametes but not at the same time. Not equivalent to trans people case, really.

I wouldn't expect that. Primates cooperate all the time with birds, rodents and deer for food or protection. We are brain-wired to search for allies inter and intraspecific. Early humans would most probably do the same. Cephalopods, on

History runs in circles. Everybody wants to be an hero, so they will refuse to see the danger or to understand that ecosystems don't grant a second try if you change something and regret it later. Mao died in 1976. Sparrows still remai
