Unless of course the human race’s balance is nature itself

@ ASHE: I´ve always had the same theory. It´s a matter of balance in nature. For every something nasty, there is the fix to balance it out.

I guess the only thing nature didnt balance was the human race. We take over and destroy everywhere we go. Or maybe we are our own balance? Which is why one day we´ll wake up to a horrible plague and realize that nature´s cure was in an animal/plant/environment that we helped into early extinction.

In a reptile house in a zoo, I happened to visit around the time that the animals were being fed their usual food (live baby mice), including the gila monster. It was fairly alarming to watch, and definitely not something I’d ever like to experience.

I hate to say it, but a viper is, by definition, a venomous snake. If it’s a viper, it HAS to be ‘venomous to boot’.

I’m fascinated with these cone shell snails, now. I had to look up images of the stinging apparatus. I never knew that there were any venomous snails! Then again, I never knew that there were frogs with teeth that would bite if provoked, until I saw them personally. Very eerie little buggers.

we live in the southwest and had a scorpion get in our light fixture. we couldn’t take it down without dumping the live scorpion onto our heads, so we waited for it to die first. that took 5 weeks. no food or water. it just paced back and forth for 5 weeks and then curled up dead. those things are evil.

Scorpions kind of freak me out, I guess if they can cure cancer then that can make up for how horrible they look.

A man from National Geographic came to my university once for a lecture on the rain forest and he told us that these poison dart frogs make their venom after eating a type of fire ant that lives in the forest. They also carry their tadpoles around to different bromiliads and the tadpoles live in the water stored in these plants. They are facinating creatures.

This is so cool. I’ve always kinda had a theory that for every malady we have nowadays, there is some sort of cure in nature somewhere (vague I know, but I thought this up at 4).
Groovy as though!
