When an orchid mantis spies its prey, its legs shoot out and back in a flash, trapping its victim between its sharp leg spines. The legs hold the victim in a vice-like grip. The mantis immediately starts to bite into the victim's flesh. It eats everything; absolutely nothing is wasted!
Unique wolves in B.C. rainforests
Unique wolves in B.C. rainforests A study has found that the wolves living in the
central coastal forests of B.C. are a "unique genetic variety," and
have one of the highest population densities in the world. These
wolves live in the heavily overgrown old growth forest and their
major source of food is the deer also living there. The study's
sponsor, Rain Forest Conservation Society, is concerned that
logging may harm the habitat and food supply of these
wolves. JANUARY 31, 2001
