Don't confuse them.

That's right

And did you know that dolphins are actually not fish, but mamals??? :)

The most interesting one I find is a platypus

[Dear Guest/Member you have to reply to see the link.click here to register]

A Mamal that lays eggs and uses venom to stun it's victims. They use Electroception to detect prey (The Platypus can determine the direction of an electric source, perhaps by comparing differences in signal strength across the sheet of electroreceptors). They have no teeth. They have legs on the side of the body, like a reptile and store fat in their tail.

thanks carp and mish! i am a high school drop-out and i didn't know the difference. now i do and i owe it all to you.

I use to be afraid of spiders, but now I don't mind them. They help keep insects out your house.

The one creature that I pray I never never never run into, and the only animal that instills true fear into me is:

I think it's mostly because in the water you are so much more helpless than anything you encounter outside of it..

I'd rather have the other insects.

Sharks don't scare me, I just don't go in the water. That's why that movie Jaws never made sense; why didn't they just stay on land??

Tone, I'm sure you encounter lots of sharks...in Nebraska.;)

Sharks are one of my favourite animals, obviously I wouldn't like to swim with them lol.

Anybody have that song "swim like a fish" by the Wiggles in their head? Or is it just me?

Sharks makes me go petrified . I would feel despair if i would be at sea and i see a shark coming . But iv been at sea already and i want afraid . Other than that ... im scared of being sterile (meaning not be able to get a woman pregnant)

Damn, I wish I were sterile...

Daddy long legs are "arthropods" not arachnids.

This thread is dumb.
