Why are my dad's nails turning blue when he is on oxygen 24 hours of the day?

Your father probably has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A difficulty in the oxygen being delivered from the lungs to the red blood cells in his blood. Thus the hemoglobin in his red blood cells are not all filled with oxygen. Hemoglobin, if unfilled with oxygen, changes from a red color to a deep blue/purple color. That is why we think of blood coming from the heart as red and returning to the heart as blue on diagrams of the circulatory system. In fact, if your father was not on oxygen, his nails probably would be an even darker blue color. The oxygen should be, in fact, improving his color.

If you get a solid 7 hours sleep a night and still feel really tired the next day keep running to the toilet every half hour and feeling nauseous a sign of being pregnant.?

Those certainly sound like symptoms. The only way to tell for sure, however, is to wait until your period is late and take a home pregnancy test, or wait about 9 to 12 days after the time you had sex when you think you may have gotten pregnant (that would end up being about 2 or so days after actual conception) and go get a blood test done. Good luck! You can get exactly the same symptoms from worrying about being pregnant or any other worries. Don't count on being pregnant until you either take a pregnancy test or a doctor diagnoses you as being pregnant. There are other problems that can cause these symptoms such coming down with a virus to anemia.

What helps koala survive?

One of the main things that helps a koala survive is its ability to quickly climb tall, straight trees which few other animals can climb. Koalas have very sharp claws, and they are ale to climb even smooth-barked trees quickly. Once it is in the tree, it is equipped with a padded backside which enables it to spend many hours comfortably in the tree. Two of the koala's digits on their forelimbs act as opposable thumbs, enabling koalas to reach out and grasp the leaves and gum blossoms they want to eat.

The koala's unique digestive system also helps it to survive. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala's digestive system is capable of removing the toxins, filtering them out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix.
