Isn't that a genetic problem? |

Of course. This is called hypertrichosis. Though the right combination of genes can be a benefit in humans' adapting to cold environment. |

How many of those people actually live in cold environments and use that hair to "keep themselves warm." I mean seriously! |

Is that another questioning of evolution? Because this disorder has nothing to do with evolution, just so you know.

None. That is a genetic disorder called hypertricosis. |

Are you serious? Heck no! I'm not some radical Christian trying to shoot down evolution everywhere I go. It just seemed like a dumb idea. (No offense Elephas! Don't taxidermize me!) |

A real, 5-foot tall, adult dwarf Asian elephant. Cute, though dangerous. Can trample your feet or your head in the case of falling ![]() However, his genes are destined to die out since he can't reach females to mate, can't compete with other bulls and already suffered from poacher shots. If not the 'kind' policy of non-intervening or just plain laziness of the officials, we could create a breed of elephants fitting for a small zoo or even a large room - with this male and smallest Bornean females. At least collect his DNA sample to study before it's lost forever due to some odds. Me wants this one so much.

http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=646 http://www.amazonian-fish.co.uk/indexpime.html Rather hard to find informations about it, Guinness World Records name is Phraetobius walkeri, but it's nomen nudum and it seems to be undescribed yet.This thing is the terrestrial fish. |
