Are rabbits naturally aggressive?

No. In fact, most rabbits are extremely nice once they get to know you.

When rabbits are scared, they tend to bite. Aggression is a common reaction for rabbits that are frightened, angry, insecure, etc. Aggression can also be caused by sexual hormones, territorial feelings, etc.

There are many things you can do help reduce aggression in a rabbit. Spaying/neutering is the first step: it's a safe procedure for most rabbits (at the hands of an experienced, rabbit-savvy vet), and widely recommended. Otherwise, do what you can to control the rabbit's environment so as to maximize his or her sense of security. There are many resources online that can help you.

What are some behavioral adaptations of the elephant?

Elephants have a large social structure. The females herd together in family groups to raise the calves separate from the males. A calf will grow up spending its years with it mother, aunts, sisters, and female cousins. If the calf is a female, it may stay in the herd. If it is a male, it will eventually leave.

Elephants migrate through the seasons to follow where the water will be. They have regular routes that they use year after year. The prior generations will teach the younger elephants the route.

Elephants live in hot climates and have large bodies. They have adapted behaviors to cool themselves. They will use their trunks to spray their bodies with water or to dust their bodies with dirt. They will also submerge in water if they can find it. They will also flap their ears, fanning themselves, to lower their body temperature.

When there are perceived threats, an elephant herd will move the smaller calves or weaker elephants towards the center of the herd for more protection.

How old is an elephant?

Elephants typically live between 60-70 years in the wild, although some individuals have been known to live into their 80s. Captive elephants tend to have a slightly longer lifespan due to access to consistent food, veterinary care, and protection from poaching and other threats.

Are elephants smart?

Elephants are incredibly smart, plus they have the best memory of any creature on earth, man included.

Not only are elephant brains very large, but they're denser than most animals. This means they have more cells and brain matter in their brains.

Importantly, to be smart, you have to have a good memory. The part of the brain that houses memory is known as the temporal lobe. An elephant's temporal lobes are more developed than that of man.

But this is where it gets really interesting. When a human baby is born, its brain is relatively smooth. As the baby grows and learns, its brain develops folds and fissures to store and hold information. So, an adult human's brain has much more texture, crevices, wrinkles, and folds than a baby's.

Elephants have more folds and crevices in their temporal lobes than humans do. This means that they can store and hold more information than a human and that their memories are better.

Memory is the foundation of intelligence.

How much water can a rubber balloon hold?

* jhgjjhjhjhgj"When we first started making our Golf Courses, we

had to make ruffdrafts. The ruff draft paper was as big as

the real foam board we would use to make the actual Golf

Course.

We started out in pencil and then changed things to make

it better. Sometimes something was too small, so we

changed it. Then we traced it with marker. We tried to

make the ruffdraft pretty good, so when we were making

our real course we'd know what to do. The picture above

is somebody's completed ruffdraft. They would be ready

for the next step." -Josie
