There has been a lot of potato news lately. John Krakauer who wrote about Chris McCandless' survival and subsequent death has helped determine that in this same situation of food scarcity that eating wild potatoes, which contain a neurotoxin, can lead to paralysis of the legs and subsequently death. There is also the story of a Russian family that were gassed by potatoes rotting in their cellar. It reads like a bad horror story, each going into the basement, breathing the fumes, collapsing and dying.
I am glad that there is a plethora of thought going on here! I would also like to include that it has been shown that even if there is a supplier of this legally, this market drives an illegal market in lion products. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0005941 It is irresponsible to therefore have lion products on the market and from the commentary from the restaurant owner, he seems to be something of a lummox and prone to irresponsible behaviour.
A funny item about this great movie is that it was almost pulled from theatres from lack of sales until the drug scene happened upon it and it gained interest.
Sounds like jealousy to me. I would like to remind people that it was humans who killed George and Joy Adamson and they were with big cats all their adult lives. Diane Fossey was killed by humans and she was around apes who could really have done her damage. Kevin Richardson is still working with big cats, hyaenas, and leopards and he is still alive and working with them. I think people are jealous that these people dare to live a little more than most and care for something other than a big screen television and who won Dancing With The Stars or what the corporate run news media tells them to think.
Those vertebrae look similar to shark vertebrae. Using a modern homologue, the giant squid has hooks around its tentacled suckers which have been known to leave gashes in rubberized coatings on submarine sonar domes. If the same hooked structures existed on ancient leviathan "kraken" then there might be evidence on the arranged bones because they would have been softer soon after death and when the kraken would have been arranging them.
I think this would be a great enrichment for zoos if there were some way to keep the monkey's attention on hitting keys. Squirrel monkeys seem to be a high energy monkey that might be well suited for this. I don't know what their muscle mass would be if they hit a touch sensitive screen, whether it would break it nor not.
This is called evolutionary development and utilizes "broom closet" genetics which can be expressed. It wouldn't be so much a dinosaur as a chicken-o-saurus. Thus far, teeth like growths on embryonic chickens has been expressed but has not been allowed to go full term.
I recall a story once about someone looking for this structure or one like it and when it was discovered that they wanted to see it, the local tribal ruler who happened to have some significant armored vehicles, personally escorted the visitors to see it. Inside they found objects which hadn't been disturbed for hundreds of years so I guess at least these locals take good care of their cultural history.
Genetic tests on the hairs of both Tsavo lions indicates one did most of the hunting and consuming of humans, at around 35 while the other partook of the festivities. Yes, Cathy! The events leading up to these cases of eating humans is probably created by the humans themselves. In the area of which the Tsavo lions ate humans, it was a dumping ground for the slave trade; those slaves which could not continue were left. Years of this activity leads to a preference for hunting humans. Nature is opportunistic. What would you rather hunt as a carnivore, 1200 pounds of Cape buffalo with sharp horns and hooves or the squealy hairless ape, practically defenseless? This also manifests in a smaller yet no more less deadly sequence of events such as Ebola virus deaths. Hunters go into the previously unencroached forest for bush meat and unknowingly bring back the virus where it kills a whole village.
