A Green sea turtle of 2years old was rescued by Sea Turtle Inc. This sea turtle lost three of her flippers and had little chance of survival. This was named as “ALLISON“, which is five-inch in length.
Sea turtles can grow to 450 pounds and live for around 100 years. So animal shelter gave prompt treatment for this sea turtle. Now she managed to swim with single flipper. But reintroducing into the sea is questionable as it may be injured by other aquatic faunas and also would be confined to shallow waters for the rest of her life.
Caregivers at Sea Turtle Inc. are now thinking to fit three prosthetic flippers before getting into sea. This prosthetic flippers would be of silicon, which is being used for implants in humans.
A team of physicians from UT Dental Branch and University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center have arrived to help Allison get back to its home. They are studying the pros and cons of using silicone in sea water to confirm that it does not dissolve. Hope they will succeed to end the longing for the sea of Allison.

Do you think socially learned cultural behavior is unique to humans? NO…you’re wrong. A study revealed that our good old ancestors-Chimpanzees show cultural differences.
A team of international scientists did a research on chimpanzees behavior and found that chimps build their ‘cultures’ just like that of humans. Although it is confirmed that behavioral differences between colonies of chimpanzees are due to genetic variability, the variety is mainly due to migration of apes to other places.
Can you believe that a bull-sized mouse roamed in this world four million years ago? Yes… Scientists discovered a fossil of 1-1.4 tonnes weight in a broken bolder on the coast of Rio de La Plata in Uruguay.

It is not correct to assume that bites from harmful snakes are invariably fatal. Hospital case histories with definite identification of the biting snake show that in about half the cases there is little or no effect of the poison. This is understandable, considering the fact that snake bite on man is a purely defensive reaction.
