Were can you buy a tunisian tortoise?
The Tunisian tortoise, Furchulachelys naebulensis, is a very rare and endangered tortoise. It is protected to the level of CITES appendix 1 and any offered for sale or trade must have an article 10 certificate and be fitted with a microchip if they are 10cms long or longer. They are a very beautiful and active tortoise. There are breeders around but they are few and far between. Tunisian tortoises are not the easiest torts to keep in the UK, being very prone to illness if the conditions are not just right. They must NOT be hibernated in the winter. You may be better advised to buy a Horsfields, Hermanns or Mediterranean Spur Thighed which are far easier to find and easier to keep.
Are tortoises legal pets in the UK?
Yes, tortoises are legal pets in the UK, but there are certain species that are protected and require specific permits or licenses to keep. The Hermann's tortoise and the Greek spur-thighed tortoise, for example, require an Article 10 certificate under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) regulations.
Body structures that don't seem to have a function?
the appendix has no function There was an article on the internet recently that said that scientists think that the function of the appendix is that it stores bacteria so that if one's system is cleared of all "good" bacteria, the appendix can then start a new supply of those necessary bacteria. If this is true, then the appendix DOES have a function.
What is the possessive form of the word appendix?
The correct plural of appendix depends on the circumstances. If you are talking about the text at the end of a book or article, either the plural appendices or appendixes is correct. If you are talking about the organ in the body, appendixes is the only plural.

How do I find the hare and tortoise story?
The basic story is that the tortoise and the hare decided to have a race, and the hare, being so fast, got ahead so far that it decided to take a nap, while the tortoise, which was much slower, just kept walking. The hare woke up to find that the tortoise had passed her, and won the race. The moral is "slow and steady wins the race." It is basically a tale encouraging us to keep at it even if we aren't the best... as long as we keep working at it, we can still succeed. There is a comprehensive Wikipedia article on the 'race. Just search 'the tortoise and the hare' on Wikipedia for the fully detailed story.
My house isn't very big and we want to get a pet tortoise what type of tortoise should we get that is suitable for a small home?
The best species for you would be aHermann. (Testudio Hermanni) These are a small Mediterranean species.You will require a tortoise table with heat & UV lamps (or a combined heat/UV lamp). Under no circumstances should you keep a tortoise in a vivarium. It will need to be fed on weeds, such as Dandelion, Hawkbits, Chicory, Sow Thistle, Clover, Prickly Ox Tongue etc. DO NOT FEED ON CAT/DOG FOOD. Your tortoise will require a protein free, high fibre diet with an emphasis on the essential need for calcium.Before buying, I would recommend that you visit the Tortoise Trust website for full information on keeping a tortoise. www.tortoisetrust.orgRight now (November/December - March [Northern Hemisphere]) is not a good time to buy, since these tortoises should be in hibernation. Wait until the spring. I would also urge you NOT to buy an animal from a pet shop, without checking first that it has been bred in captivity in the UK (or whichever country you live in), there are very good reasons not to buy imported animals. These tortoise are protected by CITES. Ask to see the Article 10 certificate (or equivalent in your country), if the shop cannot supply one, the tortoise may be illegal and should be reported to the authorities. If the certificate shows it to have been bred in Slovenia (or some other former eastern block nation), do not buy it. These tortoises are often illegally taken from the wild and legalised by DEFRA (UK) at the point of entry into the UK. I would not be surprised if this happens in other countries. They may well have health issues and may well have been subjected to a terrifying ordeal. (See www.tortoise-protection-group.org.UK). While buying from these sources may save the individual tortoise from misery, it only serves to put even more pressure on the wild population when the poachers come back for more, to supply the unscrupulous members of the pet trade.I would certainly recommend that you consider re-homing a needy tortoise. This can be done through either the Tortoise Trust or the Tortoise Protection Group in the UK, or other similar organisations in other parts of the world. Such organisations may ask you for a contribution to their operating costs, but this will usually be far less than you will pay for a tortoise from a pet shop, and you will get good advice on keeping your new pet.
Is there an anti terrorism certificate for banking?
No, its part of an internet scam, and you should not participate in it. There is no such thing as an "anti-terrorism certificate." I enclose the link to an excellent article about this scam and the two men who were running it (and making millions from fooling innocent people).
What is an appendix in a book?
An appendix is usually extra material that can be helpful as a reference, or a huge table that would distract if it were included as part of the main book. There could be more than one appendix. It usually shows up after the main part of the book, but is unlike a glossary or index because it is actual extra content instead of a guide or list of common terms.
