The mountain goat is one animal perfectly adapted for life in alpine regions (areas above the tree line). Its teeth can chew the toughest vegetation, and its hooves have hard, sharp edges with a non-slip pad in the middle so they can climb on the steepest of ridges.
Arsenic and old brakes
Arsenic and old brakes Dr. Ma from the University of Florida has
discovered that the Chinese brake fern loves arsenic! The fern can
not only tolerate arsenic, it thrives on it, and researchers have
found concentrations of 20 grams of arsenic per kilogram of
foliage. It is possible that the brake fern could be used to clean
up the soil in sites that have been contaminated with
arsenic. FEBRUARY 3, 2001
