Cancer Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER ... Why the animals?

RPMiller Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER How about predatory plants like the Venus fly trap?

Cancer Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER There's good stuff there; but a fair amount of irreverence as well. FWIW, the banana slug is part of the local fauna. That is not the case for the U. California at Irvine Anteaters, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
