Brief BioI was born and raised in Kalamazoo MI. I earned my bachelors of science in biology from Western Michigan University. I met and fell in love with a big goof of a man named Cliff. I have a fat lazy cat named Kerby and a dog named Bear. |
From Nat Geo, just in time for Halloween they have found a Siberian moth that drinks blood. It is only the male of the species and they think that it utilizes the salt in blood because they don’t get enough in their diet. Check out the cool video.
From the National Geographic, a study of earthworms living at former mining sites have been shown to create a protein to coat particles of heavy metals (lead, zinc, arsenic, and copper). This discovery could lead to cleaning up contaminated sites where these protein covered heavy metal particles could be utilized by plants and the plants removed for processing. Check out the photo of the worm guts.
