- Is a zebra a type of horse?
Zebras are from the horse family , just like urangutangs and chimpanzees are from the same money family but are different from each other
and its possible that they can have babies together
this is rare…but then its not very often that a zebra comes across a horse

Can fish smell? yes. although not in the regular way humans can, some have better sensory detectors like sharks who can allegedly smell a blood in water ten miles away

Where do fishes extract their waste from? (I’ve never seen an “opening”) you havent looked properly…its probably very very small…
there is a reason why you have to clean out your fish tank!
also , the white coral sand you find on some exotic islands is the end product of fish…they eat coral…their insided crunch it up and viola…a grain or two of sand
people pays lots of money to walk on beaches of accumilated fish refuse
- (“Why do we eat when it’s just going to end up in the toilet anyways?” I got the answer to this one, it’s because we absorb the nutrients.) But, how do our tummies know what is nutrients and what is not? Also, if all we absorb is nutrients, then why are some people less healthy than others?
Your body needs energy to work …like a car needs petrol, it needs a range of different things that help different parts work … these things are called carbohydrates, fats, and protein and in addition to that it needs things called vitamins and minerals
and thats the reason to eat…otherwise you’d collapse in a heap on the floor and just make the place look messy
Everybodys bodies are different, just like you get tall and short people…the insides work differently too
the machinary that creates fuel for your body starts out like a reallyyyyy long tube which runs through your body…one opening is the mouth andthe other …is ehem…well at the other end..
the idea is to break down the food into tiny weeny structures … so it can be absorbed
but some people bodies are bad at absorbing or need help to turn the food into nutrients…
also some people do not eat the range of food that will give them the optimum energy or nutrients
- What is “concentrate”? (Like on the orange juice cartons, it says “Not from Concentrate” or “100% from Concentrate”. What’s all that about?)
Concentrate means that the water has been taken out
if you have oranges from florida… and teh juice has been squeezed out of them youll find that you have a a huge quantity…truck loads
and its not cheap to send your truck loads of fresh orange to the shops
BUT if you take out teh main bulk which is water … what is left behind is a lot lighter and easier to carry around or send abroad and a greet deall cheaper too
so the water is taken out in factories…the strong tasting residue is packed into small containers and sent to other places…to factories who add water to bring it back to what it was and pack it up
this type of product must be labelled as “from concentrate”
- Why does Tom Petty look like a complete white boy, when his biological brothers look Indian? (You know, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. His mom is like white and his grandmother is Indian or something, and he’s the only kid in his family that has blonde hair and blue eyes, the rest look Indian. Strange.)
when a new human or anything liek plant etc is being created it need to know what to look like…the things that tell the celles are something called genes…
and these are gotten from the parents…
they come in different types…dominant…which is stronger and recessive which is weaker
the parents each give a gene for different traits
depending on what the parents themselves have …if one parent provides a dominant genes for say , eye colour and the other parent a recessive one..the dominant will win out and the kid will get dark eyes
if both are dominant the the eyes will be dark too
however if one is recessive…and the other parent provides a recessive one you get the light eyes
- What instruments does the band The Postal Service use to make their music? It’s strange, but I love it.
Im sorry I couldnt tell you because I dont know…the postal service in the Uk is called royal mail and as far as I know they dont use musical intruments but bicycles to get around
I think you should listen to a better class of music, like Beethoven, bach or abba
That’s all for the moment.
