I was recently watching a lovely doco on faux Fox, and it was about the Panda's and what is being done to increase their survival.
What was pointed out in this doco, sorry I cant remember its name, but if you really want it I will have a look for it. But I digress
Anyways, they have been experiencing a number of anomalies with regards to the breeding and the survival rate.
I personally was not aware that a lot of Panda's give birth to twins, but the survival rate is extremely low, as the mother generally can not take
care of it. But again I digress
So the first thing that was noted in one of the Panda's was here age, she was , if I recall correctly, 14 years of age when she FIRST conceived, as
apparently this is highly unusual, but what was even more unusual is that she was DOUBLE the gestation period for Panda's, that again from memory,
was 369 days or there abouts.
Now on the news yesterday, there was a story that was running across the lower screen that a shark has given birth to 4 LIVE young. Now if you know
your sharks, the young in their stomach are cannibalistic, that is that in nearly all cases, only one live is born.
The reason I posted this is because of all the news lately with regards to the discovery of new species, births that are fantastic and a few others I
cant recall at the moment, well is NATURE fighting back?
