I want to learn about squids like you when I grow up. I wish I had a real pet squid that lived in a big aquarium tank in my room. I would be so happy to work with you. I wish I was a grown-up now. I hope that you can find all the stuff about giant squid. I hope you don't quit! From, Alec Pitney Dear Dr. Clyde Roper,

They have discovered that platypus have genes for odor sensitivity. From the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/08/science/08platypus.html" rel="nofollow">New York Times</a>: <blockquote>One surprise was finding genes responsible for sensitive odor receptors. As a primarily aquatic animal, the platypus was already known to rely on electrosensory receptors in its bill to detect faint electric fields emitted by underwater prey. So why the considerable ability to sense odors? The scientists speculate that it may involve sexual communication or the use of water-soluble odorants in navigating and hunting underwater. </blockquote> Scientist are studying the genome of the platypus.

It was remarkable how quickly those little buggers cleared the water. I agree, supplements would probably be necessary to keep coquina happy for long. Stephen: think I remember that tank.
