Lynx have adapted to life in the snow. They have huge feet that function as snow-shoes, allowing this tufted-eared cat to hunt in deep snow country without wasting energy by breaking trails.
Gold rush
Gold rush Researchers in New Zealand report that they have
succeeded in using Indian mustard plants to purify gold ore from
the soil. The plants absorb gold from the soil which has been
dissolved in a chemical called "ammonium thiocyanate". After the
plants absorb the gold, they are burned and the ashes can be
refined to recover the gold. Scientists think that this method
could be used as a way to commercially extract gold from the
soil. 10 OCTOBER 1998, P. 15
