Exotic Farm Animals
This category deals with exotic farm animals which have become commercial enterprises in the farming community such as emu, ostrich, or yak. The treatment and care of these non traditional creatures along with certain farming techniques is discussed here.

Can artificial skin be used on scars?
No,but i know a kid that was born with no top lip and he got a new one.

Known types of foxes that are believed extinct include:
Leptocyon - might be considered an ancestor of foxes. It went extinct around the end of the Miocene Epoch about 10 million years ago.
Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of foxes of the genus Vulpes identified from fossils found in Chad in northern Africa. It also lived in the late Miocene.
Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of fox of the genus Urocyon. It lived during the Pleistocene.
The Cozumel Fox may be extinct. Its habitat is (or was) the island of Cozumel, Mexico.
The "Falkland Fox" is another name for the Falkland Islands Wolf - which went extinct around 1876. Experts have not decided for certain if it was a fox. If not, then it was at least closely related.
The Sierra Nevada Red Fox was thought to be extinct, but a positive identification was made from a photograph and DNA samples from a bait bag that at least one is present in a remote mountainous area of California. Since the previous last known Sierra Nevada red fox was identified back around 1920 and foxes don't live for over a hundred years, the assumption is that there must be a small population of them somewhere out in the mountains of California.
What is the relative strength of a spider web?
The bridging thread which is the initial and strongest thread of a spider's web is roughly half the stength of steel and twice the strength of bones. Spiders can rebuild their web on a daily basis.
What would your GPA be if you got 1 a and 3 c and 1 b in regular classes?
Let A = 4
Let B = 3
Let C = 2
Class Score = A + B + (C * 3)
Class Score = 4 + 3 + 6
Class Score = 13
Number of classes = 5
GPA = Class Score / Number of classes
GPA = 13 / 5
GPA = 2.6
Your school may use a different scale for each class, but this formula will work, just find out what A/B/C/D equals at your school.
Are camel back spiders dangerous?
yes it can kill you with one bit and it can jump and moves fast so kill it now
Camel back spiders aren't even spiders! They are a type of scorpion. They are poisonous and very hairy. They are typically found in the Middle East. I hope I helped!
^^ This is the worst possible answer. #1: They are harmless to humans. #2: They are usually no larger than 4inches, and species of the Solifugae (True name for the "spider") range in several places, including the Southern United states. #3: Ask your questions on more specific forums, to avoid answers from people who are equally uneducated on the matters at hand. I hope they were joking in their answer, otherwise they should not be allowed to answer further questions without passing some sort of test beforehand.
Are camel spiders related to camels?
No, the Camel spider (also know as a Sun Spider, Wind Spider and Winder Scorpion) is a member of the order Solifugae, and as such do not spin webs.
This order of spider also has no venom either. The camel spider is a nocturnal animal and hunts it's prey as if it were a scorpion, therefore there is no need for a web.
What are the adaptations of a Roosevelt elk?
One of the most important adaptations that the elk has is their antlers. The antler is a long bone that is connected to the skull. There are usually six points, or protrusions, that are coming from the base. The range and size of elk antlers is so diverse that there isn't much of a range. Some of the larger ones that have been seen were 64 ¾Â to 74 inches.
The antlers have a peculiar skin like material that grows around it called velvet. The velvet is a covering that circulates blood throughout the antlers that allows it to grow. The velvet eventually dries up and stops circulating as much blood. When this happens, the elk begins to rub the velvet off which results in the bare bone to be the major extremity showing. When the velvet is rubbed off the bone stops growing.
Long after the velvet rubs off the antler will eventually fall off. Sometimes the antler will get caught on a branch or bush and fall off in that manner. In some cases a sudden jerk of the head is enough to break the antlers off. When the antler is broken off there is a very loud and audible crack that can be heard. Usually when the antler snaps the elk will run away in fear that there is a threat around(Whitehead 1972).
Antlers serve primarily as the major defensive mechanism that Roosevelt elk have. Although the antlers don't look menacing they can actually pack a punch. They have actually gotten the name "dog-killer" and "war tines" from experiences people have had(Murie 1951). When a bull elk is threatened it will drop its head and show that it will use its antlers for protection. When the elk is lucky the threat will leave, but other times the elk will charge with the antlers facing forward. Antlers can do some serious damage and shouldn't be taken jokingly.
Sometimes the threat that an elk faces is from a fellow elk. Usually this is when mating season is upon them. When an elk is the herd master another elk may try to mate with their cows. When this happens the intruder will try to intimidate the herd master. Herd master will respond by standing up to the other bull. If the intruder gets too close during the encounter the herd master will charge with his antlers aimed towards the intruder. There has never been a time when someone witnessed the intruder stand their ground when the would herd master charge. This usually results in the intruder just running away with the herd master giving chase for a small period of time. The antlers also pay a pivotal role if the intruder just charges the elk without trying the intimidation process. The herd master will then use his antlers to defend himself and possibly go on the offensive to stop the elk from trying to mate with his cows.
The elk have very specialized teeth(Murie 1951). The teeth of elks are made for grinding the material that they consume. Since they are herbivores they need this grinding method to get all the nutrients they can from plants. Plants are harder to digest so this mechanical digestion helps later in when the elk tries to absorb as many nutrients as it can.The jaw of the elk has a few teeth in the front used for grabbing and tearing. Then moving backward the jaw has a break where there are no teeth following a long stretch of large teeth that have some ridges on them. The ridges are used to help with grinding and breaking down the food as much as possible. These teeth can be comparable to the molars of humans. They are made for grinding, just like human molars. Everything from the large size to the small ridges are adaptations for grinding.
The last adaptation that elk have is the hooves that they use to walk long distances. They are specialized to protect the feet from the many different types of terrain while also being specialized to be able to scale many mountains and steep surfaces.
These hooves also have a defensive purpose. The females don't have any antlers so they only have their hooves as a defensive measure. Instead of charging with their head down, when a threat comes near the female elk they will buck towards the threat and try to scare them off. This doesn't seem like much of a threat but the hind legs of an elk are very powerful and their hooves are razor sharp(Whitehead 1972).
Ostriches have many extraordinary capabilities.
Like most animals, ostriches are able to breathe, blink, walk, run (even while pulling chariots, which is something that is somewhat less common among the animal kingdom), eat, digest, urinate, excrete fecal matter, make noises, reproduce, become ill, die, and much more.
On a more specific level, ostriches lay the largest eggs of any organism on earth, and can run at speeds exceeding 70 miles per hour for up to 30 minutes. Ostriches also sleep while standing on one leg, can spit a distance of 20 feet, and can, according to National Geographic, defeat a lion in face to face combat situations.
What are used Luigi franchi 48AL light hunter?
The Franchi 48AL is an Italian made, recoil operated, autoloading shotgun. http://www.franchiusa.com/ http://www.franchi.com/
No. Bison are not birds, so they don't molt or lose feathers as they grow. They do, however, shed hair in the spring time in preparation to the warm summer months, but never molt.
Why are there no buffalos in England?
Because they didn't evolve until long after the continents split apart - meaning they never colonised England.
