Yes, the sun generates a lot of energy. But it's not free to collect. You need to consider costs and benefits, not just benefits.
ngthagg
Collecting all that energy means having solar panels all over the place. That's fine on buildings, but is it worth covering the wilderness?

Don't forget the massive amounts of cabling needed to get the power to where it's needed at night time.. storage is an issue too..

Boomslang just means tree-snake, its tiny and easily mistaken for a green twig.

Haha. I laughed at that. Tree snake snake.

It also has it's fangs in the back of it's mouth, and has to "chew" the venom into you, so it is very unlikely you will be affected.

Boomslang loved our back garden. We didn't bother them and they didn't bother us. Did have a green mamba show up once, that was interesting.

I was looking for this. Down Syndrome is the presence of a third chromosome 21 in the genotype. Tigers have 19 chromosomes.
brassknucklenerd
That was my first thought as well. AKA Trisomy 21. It is literally impossible for a tiger to have that. In fact, this whole list is suspect.

You are correct! Lignin is used to make vanillin.

Artificial vanilla is made from breaking down lignin from the woodpulp. Lignin is the chemical that's makes the dark rings dark

That one is not entirely accurate. It's too expensive to be used commercially.

It's actually used as a raspberry or strawberry flavoring. Typically found in schnapps and cigs.
