Fri, 22 May 2009 For your consideration...the following is an excerpt from a radio spot on KAPL radio, Jacksonville, Oregon, called " Akin For the Truth". To listen to the entire spot (a few minutes long), click the little microphone icon....Jack We were looking last time at some of the very specialized physical attributes of the beaver, the Northwest’s largest rodent; its double insulating fur coat, specialized teeth and lips, transparent eyelids, its ability to close ears and nose, and even to chew underwater, that all work together marvelously to make the beaver perfect for its watery environment. Engineers are specially trained to alter habitat, beneficially, and, by design. The beaver, though not bright enough to earn an engineering degree in any university I am aware of, also alters its habitat. For example, the beaver is most comfortable in water, adapts its environment for the defense of itself and its family. Comments[0] |
