The buffalo was used by the Native American tribes of the plains for everything they needed to live. It gave them food, the hides gave shelter and clothing. Nothing on the animal was wasted. Louis and Clark may have killed one for the same reasons or been given meat and hides by the tribes they met.
Who was nicknamed the swamp fox and why?
The swamp fox's actual name was Francis Marion. He made a small fighting force in South Carolina during the 1700's, harassing British troops. They would show up, attack the British, sabotage communication and supply lines, and rescue American prisoners. Marion was nicknamed "swamp fox" because after attacking the British, they would disappear into forests or swamps.
The story of Goliath was just a legend. He was killed by David in 1 Samuel chapter 17, but also by Elhanan in 2 Samuel 21:19 (Hebrew Bible in English (JPS 1917 Edition)) : "And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam." (The King James version inserts "brother of" into this passage to resolve this contradiction, but most other English translations retain the original Hebrew). The Chronicler appears not to have believed the story of David slaying Goliath, so omitted the story entirely.
Since the story of Goliath was really just a legend we can not expect to find Goliath's skull on Golgotha or anywhere.
Who invented the Sopwith camel airplane?
Sopwith F.1 Camel was one of the fighter aircraft built by the British company Sopwith that was owned by Sir Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith, C.B.E.. This aircraft was a derivation of the Sopwith Pup. There were at least 3 prototype versions before the design was finalized. These were identified as F.1/1 and F.1/2 and F.1/3. These were test flown at Martlesham in May 1917. The final design used the 130-hp Clerget 9B and 150-hp B.R.1 engines.
This aircraft was the first British plane to go into combat with twin guns that were synchronized to fire through the propeller arc. The twin machine guns mounted on top of the fuselage were covered by a fairing thus giving it a 'hump' on the otherwise straight lines of the aircraft---thus the name the "Camel". The version used by the British Navy removed the fuselage mounted guns and mounted twin Lewis guns over the top wing, thus eliminating the "camel hump".

What role did grass play in conserving the soil of the prairies?
Grass on the prairies had deep root systems that helped hold the soil in place, preventing erosion caused by wind and water. The dense network of roots also helped to improve soil structure and increase water infiltration, which reduced runoff and loss of soil nutrients. Overall, the grass on the prairies played a significant role in conserving the soil and maintaining the ecosystem's health.
Can a camel survive in cold weather?

CAMELS ARE NOT SUITABLE ANIMAL LIVE IN THE NORTH POLE. THEY DON'T THICK SKIN LIKE POLAR BEARS AND DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SWIM. IT WOULD BE VERY IMPOSSIBLE. LIKE WHAT PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY DEMONS WILL ALWAYS BE DEMONS AND CAMELS WILL ALWAYS BE CAMELS.No, not all foxes are nocturnal. Some species of foxes, such as the red fox, are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during the twilight hours at dawn and dusk. Other species of foxes may also be diurnal, meaning they are active during the day.

How are buffalo horns and bison horns different?
Bull bison horns NEVER point towards each other, only the cow (female) ones do. The words buffalo and Bison (which both literaly translate to "Ox like animal") can both refer to the American Plains Bison (Bison bison bison) and the American Woods Bison (Bison bison athabascae- which is larger). Both species have similar horns. Water buffalo horns are much different.
When your muscles are relaxed your spine may "crack" (what doctors of chiropractic call "release") on its own when you bend, twist, etc. This is simply the release of gases from the joint space, and is no different than cracking knuckles, etc.
It should be noted that research has suggested that the "cracking" sound that comes from "cracking" a joint has no therpeutic benefit in itself. It seems that it is the high velocity and low amplitude stretch of proprioceptive musculature that surrounds the joint that induced the therapeutic effect. Thus, simply "cracking" your own back by twisting yourself or squeezing a friend will not result in the same benefits of a proper adjustment by a skilled professional such as a doctor of chiropractic, who have attended at least 8 years of post secondary education to perfect this technique.
