Are gorillas in the order Eutheria?
Yes. A gorilla nourishes its baby inside a uterus via an umbilical cord and the baby is born relatively well-developed. All placental mammals, or eutherian mammals, do this.
No, sharks do not have a nest. Sharks are animals that for the most part hunt alone, except for a few species that will hunt in small packs.
What precautions must be observed in the medical use of leeches?
It is important to use only leeches that have been raised in the laboratory under sterile conditions in order to protect patients from infection. Therapeutic leeches belong to one of two species
How are chimpanzees gorillas and orangutans the same?
Well they are the same and then again they are not. All three species are a part of the classification called primates (which I'm sure you knew) Which is also the classification that we humans fall under. However each individual primate is only related by that single classification. Each species has there own temperaments and behaviors that is unique for their species I'm not quite sure as to what the difference are but what I can tell you is that identifying the differences would be quite easy when you think about it. Just of the differences between those three species and our species (humans) We are surprisingly different than others of the same classification. To be completely honest most others of the Primate species are surprisingly more civil than us humans and only show aggression for the use of dominance. And the theory that man was evolved from another primate species is a common misconception. If anything we are more closely related to a prehistoric rodent... odd isn't it... odd but true.
So to answer your question and save you another paragraph of my rambling the only major similarity that those three species have is their classification primate and well... being mammals of course.

Are female children are more beneficent to their parent than male children?
Perhaps in some cultures. To me the idea of one gender being more "beneficial" on ANY level is appalling. Children are not born for the benefit of the parents. That is a form of slavery.
What kind of mutations does a gorilla have?
Wow, good question. I might have the answer to it though!!! Just like a human, it depends on how the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was replicated. For example, if the original DNA's sequence was ATTCGCGCATCA, and the replication had an error, such as: an extra base (letter) was added, one base is missing, the bases were switched up, one base could be changed, etc. The list can go on for ages! The same could happen for a gorilla. All living things have DNA inside them. When the DNA replicates, there is a chance that an error could occur. Some of these errors cause living organisms to be born without limbs, arms, ears, facial defects, etc. If you would like to learn specific defects, or mutations, ask your local zoo keepers at the zoo, go online, or ask an animal specialist. I hope that my answer helped you!

The policeman showed some shrewd thinking when he solved the difficult crime.
Things to do when it is raining?
If you are referring to a stormy weather, turn the main power supply off and turn the emmergency luminary on if the tempest is at night, close all windows and doors, and disconnect all antennas from the devices they are connected to.
Who will win in a fight between a horse and a gorilla?
Gorillas normally do not wish to fight those animals that are plant eaters like itself. A gorilla would quickly learn that a horse is an animal to keep its distance from after receiving a good kick or sharp bite if it got too close to it. And horses, unless cornered, prefer to take flight rather than fight, and would normally run away if they see a strange animal like a gorilla charging it. So no one would win or lose.

Why was world food day created?
World Food Day was created to "increase awareness, understanding, and informed, year-around, long-term action on the complex issues of food security for all." This year's theme is The Right to Food. The Right to Food means the right
of all people to sufficient levels of nutritious food that is culturally acceptable and sustains an active, healthy lifestyle.
It is important to point out that The Right to Food is not a utopian idea. While more than 850 million people around the world are malnourished and millions more suffer from food insecurity, it is also true that the world produces more than enough food to feed everyone. Ironically, 80 percent of those experiencing hunger are farmers or farm workers who lack necessary resources and land rights to provide for themselves sufficiently. In addition, many small-scale farmers throughout the world are being forced into competition with subsidized, below-cost imports from large agribusiness conglomerates. The combined effect not only threatens the livelihoods of small-scale farmers, but also undermines food sovereignty for everyone.
Food sovereignty is the right of all peoples to determine their own food and agricultural policies at the local, state, and national levels. Food sovereignty is vital to achieving real food security and The Right to Food, as it ensures the survival of localized, sustainable agriculture. When imports of cheap, heavily subsidized food imports flood a country's economy, farmers become displaced and food security decreases. One notorious example of this is the case of Mexico after the North American Free Trade Agreement was passed in 1994. Mexico was once largely self-sufficient in basic staple crops such as corn. In the decade that followed the passage of NAFTA, more than 1.5 million Mexican farmers were forced to abandon their plots due to the dumping of heavily subsidized U.S. corn into local markets. Likewise, Mexico's rates of corn importation and the cost of critical staple foods such as corn tortillas skyrocketed.
The struggle for The Right to Food is therefore not just about providing food for the hungry. It is about creating a fair, sustainable, and environmentally sound food system that respects and prioritizes the needs of local communities first. Farmers should receive adequate payment for their crops, and more governmental and institutional investment is needed in rural economies. In addition, governments must recognize their responsibility in protecting The Right to Food by implementing policies that provide free or affordable locally grown food to populations in high risk of malnourishment. This includes ensuring that the 300 million children who go to sleep hungry every night are fed.

How fast do you develop a tolerance to Adderall?
Depends on if it is an extended release or standard and how much the dosage is and how many times a day you take it. There isn't a type of tolerance because it is a form of methamphetamine and people may become addicted and your body becomes physically dependent as well. If you abruptly stop taking this type of pill or take too much you can feel very ill depending on the way your body initially reacts while taking it in the first place. This medication stimulates your entire nervous system.
