it depends on the species of animal that lives in that den. if the den collapses then you need to call animal control or need to uncover the animal,if there is an animal inside who is trapped. if you dont try to save it then you can feel the guilt of it cause it would be your fault that the poor, unsuspecting animal suffocated and died.

What was the first parliament in England all about?
As said above, it started with the Magna Carta in 1215, when King John was forced to acquiesce to the nobility, and set up a council (the Magna Carta formalised this arrangement - since William the Conqueror there had been an informal council of local chiefs who would advise the King).
From there Parliament began to develop, slowly taking powers away from the monarch, and gaining more power for itself. The Commons began to meet separately from the Lords in 1341.
The supremacy of Parliament was pretty much confirmed by the Civil War, and when Charles II returned from exile, from then onwards every King and Queen was a constitutional monarch, restrained in their actions by Parliament.
Why is fine china called china if it is made in England or another country?
Fine china is made of a white clay made to imitate porcelain. Porcelain is one of the many types of clay used in China. Porcelain is considered valuable because of its white color and translucence.
Porcelain is made of three materials: quartz, feldspar & kaolin (refined white clay) fired at a very high temperature. This was first made in China, creating the category "chinaware" In the 1700's the Europeans tried to copy the formula by trial and error. Meissen succeeded. The raw materials were found in Germany and France (Limoges region) and these countries produced porcelain. In Britain, they substituted bone ash for the quartz and feldspar creating bone china. Fine china is a created category, usually referring to bone china and porcelain as opposed to stoneware, ironstone and earthenware which is fired at a lower temperature and prone to chipping and crazing.
In England, the king's power was limited by a constitution and parliament.
England is a constitutional monarchy That was originally only a Monarchy when it was a Monarchy the king or queen within certain parameters was pretty well able to do what they liked. however as time wore on more and more restrictions were placed on their authority until now the parliament voted for by the people has all the authority. what the parliament decides on will be signed into law with the approval of the monarchy. under special circumstances the constitution allows the reigning monarch to withdraw the commission of the prime minister and appoint a caretaker government until a new government is appointed. This happened in Australia when the government was sacked by the Governor general a representative of the queen appointed by the Australian govt. Generally it is a symbolic role that is played by the monarchy and no doubt they would give it up if there was not some sort of financial wrought in it for them.

Via satellites how long is the signal from London to cape town?
I took this extract from a project I had to do at school and I think it serves as a valid answer to the given question.
The geosynchronous satellites for signal between London, in the United Kingdom, and Cape Town, in South Africa are at a distance of 35 786km from the Earth. Therefore the distance between Cape Town and London is 80 000km. Using this information alongside the recent advancements in modern technologies it can be assumed that the time taken for the signal to be sent from London to Cape Town is only a matter of seconds.
Hope this helps :)
