They eat by storing their food in their cheeks or pouches and it stays there until they swim to the surface to begin eating. Even they have no teeth, they were born with teeth, they just fall out at a very early age.

    When The Fabulous Freebirds first came to the ring with rock and roll blasting, it was revolutionary. When Vince McMahon got Cindy Lauper and MTV to cross-promote their programming it was groundbreaking. For every hit moment like those in rock and wrestling, there are plenty of flops. The Simon Cowell produced "Slam Jam" can barely be considered music and still somehow managed to hit the UK charts. Looking back, "Rap is Crap" made the otherwise lovable Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig look like an out-of-touch, redneck tool. At WrestleMania XIX, Limp Bizkit got Roman Reigns level boos from the crowd who were generally sick of their repetitive, whiny nu metal.

The M.fasciatus has pale fur on the underbelly and coarse reddish-brown fur above on the back which is darkest on the rump refer to figure 1 (Sydenham, 2012). There are four to eleven noticeable white stripes across the back between the shoulders and tail (|The Western Australian Education, 2013). The reason for the stripes is that it projects as an effective camouflage allowing the M. Fasciatus to blend into its surroundings whenever it is needed. M.fasciatus has a long bushy tail that has a characteristic ‘bottle-brush’ appearance (Australian wildlife society, 2013). M. Fasciatus weighs about 400-700g and has a body length of 20-27cm. (Government of Western Australia, 2012). M. Fasciatus has a life expediency of two to three years but can be as much as five years. M.

Fasciatus is the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families belonging to the order Dasyuromorphia. M.fasciatus classification in its own family means that…

    This experiment will evaluate duckweed and its ability to remove nutrients and toxins from water sources. Thus, duckweed will kill the organisms that require similar nutrients, yet aid the organisms that would otherwise die to toxins. Specifically, if one was to place Elodea plants in a tank with duckweed, then the Elodea will die due to the lack of nutrients from the duckweed having used the nutrients for its own benefits. Furthermore, if one were to place an organism such as Daphnia in a tank with Duckweed, then the duckweed would remove any toxins present in the water and provide a food source to the organism, thus sustaining the life of that organism.…
