OT(kindof) We can do better!
All right, all rec.pond male ponders.
I want you to go out to the pond tonight and do your best! (Do what, you ask? Read through to the bottom of the article. I expect results!) Biologists Croak to Their Animals LONDON (Reuters) - British biologists have taken a leaf out of the literary Doctor Doolittle's book and started talking to their animals. *"We have been croaking to our tree frogs for about two weeks now. They respond and it makes it easier to find them," Robin Mulford, a biologist at Bournemouth Oceanarium on England's south coast, told Reuters Friday. "We croak and the males croak back. But the females stay quiet," he said by telephone. The chatty, color-changing male frogs respond to any loud noise, trying to outdo the volume and attract a mate. But while the Bournemouth biologists may manage to fool the male tree frogs, the females are proving more canny. "None of us has attracted a female with our croaking so far," Mulford said. kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |
