Yep. The Etruscan Shrew, to be exact. Next question goes to you!

[Neraphym]

From Etruscia?

[Ratty]

You're meant to ask a question.

Unless that is the question.

I shall guess no =P

So if the "Etruscan Shrew" is not from this place you call "Etrusca" then I get to ask the next question. =P

[Neraphym]

Indeeeeeed; twas a question!

[Darkness]

... Well -that- was the stupidest question ever XD


....

In a good way!

[Zziggywolf5]

New question, plz.

[Neraphym]

It's anyones question.

[Zoo]

... Well -that- was the stupidest question ever XD

In a good way!

You'd be amazed, then, how many I times I ask groups at the zoo where the African giant crested porcupine comes from (or any animal with a continent in its name for that matter), and I get the -wrong- answer (although nobody's missed why a two-toed sloth is called two-toed, a black-footed cat is called black footed, or a yellow- or red-footed tortoise is yellow or red footed... so far).


And since Neraphym says it's anyone's question, I'll give it a go.

How is the gender of an alligator determined? (And I don't mean how do you tell boys from girls.)

[skenasis]

It's determined by the temperature that the eggs are incubated at in the funny-looking egg mound. Higher temperatures gives females, if I remember right.

[Zoo]

Pretty much, 'cept it's the males that come from higher temperatures (at least in American alligators, maybe crocodiles are different).

can i ask one?
well idk whut u say im doing it
=]
try to stop me

what colors make red?
think now its kinda easy

[Rylkan]

Are you talking in terms of Light or in terms of material color? *Like the wavelength of light or the pigments and properties of a physical material that make red?*

[Neraphym]

Usually lead is responsible for the red pigmentation in most dyes, which is why rare food-ware is quite uncommon. But if your talking about the color itself, red is a primary color. This is true even with light.

[Rylkan]

I don't think I would call red a "primary" color in light. If we are talking white light, it is a jumbling of tons of different wavelengths. And even when we are not talking about white light, it is just one small band of the electromagnetic spectrum. So I guess I am trying to ask how you mean light is a "primary" color for light.

[Neraphym]

I was talking about the Red - Blue - Green spectrum computers use.
