    I hope William’s collection has no hornets; that’s going to take a lot of anti-sting ointments!

    The beavers were dropped in specially designed boxes that broke open upon landing.

    “Why do I have the feeling that Ripley is scrapping the bottom of the barrel, now?”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maybe because the ‘Age of Miracles’is over.

    I would like to see the reference to this claim. Spiders have an open circulatory system. No reference I can find has a listing of their blood pressure!

    To take a spider’s blood pressure, first you get a teeny, tiny little cuff -

    I think the Idaho beavers probably came out of that experience better than the turkeys did in that episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
