the amygdala regulates perceptions and reactions to aggression and fear, therefore by electrically stimulating the amygdala, the cat will respond either aggressively or fearfully.

Is your baby inchworm a inchworm?

No, my baby is not an actual inchworm. The term "inchworm" is often used to describe the movement of a baby learning to crawl, where they move forward by arching their back and then bringing their knees up close to their chest.


How can you know if your cat has a stomach ache?

Signs that your cat may have a stomach ache include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, and abdominal discomfort (arching the back, pacing, or vocalizing). If you notice any of these symptoms, it is best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.


How do tom cats pee backwards?

Male cats, including tomcats, have a unique anatomy that allows them to spray urine backwards by arching their back and tail. This behavior is primarily used for marking territory and communicating with other cats through scent. The position of their urinary opening, along with strong abdominal muscles, enables them to direct their urine in a backward stream.


Where are a horse's withers?

The horse's withers are the top of its shoulders, where the neck joins the body. This is where the horse is measured (height is taken from the withers not the head) and also where the saddle sits.


What scientific knowledge do we have that proves Darwin's theory?

Every theory in science is provisional. We don't believe in theories, we merely accept them as the best explanations available, subject to refutation in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The evidence supporting Darwin's theory of evolution is enormous, and we have added substantially to the collection over the past 150 years since Darwin's publication of "On the Origin of Species." The fossil record details changes undergone by species since amphibians first crawled out of Devonian seas. These amphibians bore uncanny resemblance to sarcopterygian lungfish of the same era. Archeopteryx is a Jurassic fossil of a creature very much like a dinosaur, with numerous features of dinosaurs, but one key diagnostic feature of birds--it had feathered wings. We now know of dinosaurs that possessed feathers, which eliminated feathers as the primary diagnostic feature of birds. Taxonomy is another over arching principle highlighting evolutionary relationships between species. The fact we can create a nested hierarchy of life forms strongly suggests ancestral relationships between species. If we could NOT construct such a tree of life, this would be evidence species had been created independent of one another. In our own species, we have a variety of earlier ancestors and extinct "cousins." Peering more closely into our genome, we see enormous evidence of relationships, including shared broken gene sequences and endogenous retroviral insertions. These things should only hold true if common ancestry was the correct explanation.
