What is the different of monkey and pig?
Humans and pigs have almost the exact same digestive systems and circulatory/respiratory systems. This can be seen when opening up a dead fetal pig. Pigs are monogastrics and naturally omnivores, just like humans are, and when pigs are out of the barn and not on a grain diet and allowed to feed themselves (like many feral pigs do), their diets are just as varied in animal proteins and plant matter just like we are.

Latrotoxin is the poison that is in a black widow spider's bite.
Specifically, the arachnid in question (Lactrodectus spp) carries venom which functions as a neurotoxin. Latrotoxin therefore impacts the human system for 3-7 days in milder cases and in 21+ days in more extreme cases. The most extreme reaction will be death, on the way to which there will be abdominal cramps, extreme sweating, muscle pain, and sustained readings of high blood pressure and heart beats.

Who was the ape researcher who was murdered?
Diane Fossey was discovered murdered in the bedroom of her cabin in Virunga Mountains, Rwanda on December 27, 1985. The last entry in her diary read:"When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future"
Fossey's skull had been split by a machete, a tool widely used by poachers, which she had confiscated from a poacher years earlier and hung as a decoration on the wall of her living room adjacent to her bedroom. Fossey was found dead beside her bed, with her handgun beside her and her own hair pulled out and in her hand. She was in the act of loading her weapon, but picked the wrong type of ammunition during the struggle. The cabin showed signs of a struggle as there was broken glass on the floor and tables along with other furniture overturned. All Fossey's valuables were still in the cabin - thousands of dollars in cash, travelers' checks, and photo equipment remained untouched. She was 2 metres (7 ft) away from a hole cut in the wall of the cabin on the day of her murder.
Fossey is buried at Karisoke,in a site that she herself had constructed for her dead gorilla friends. She was buried in the gorilla graveyard next to Digit, and near many gorillas killed by poachers. Memorial services were also held in New York, Washington, and California.
