I think the big question is going to be, OK, Canada, where do you stand on all this? And I would suggest that Canada has been struggling to match some of its allies over the last number of years in responding to this unstable security environment. So it will probably be the elephant in the room to a certain extent.

The sharp-edged flakes could cut as effectively than a lion’s set of teeth, and the hammerstones could crush as effectively as an elephant’s molars — and thus all of possible foods of the savanna woodlands/grasslands were opened up to processing with this new set of teeth outside of the body.

I regret the mistake that was made, and it was just that - an unintended mistake. The image posted by me on a political Facebook page was not done with any malicious or harmful intent. Once made aware of the negative portion of the picture I immediately replaced it and followed up with an apology/explanation the next day, my error was rushing to post a thank you note to the outgoing chairperson, in doing so I did not properly review a cut and paste image used in that post from an internet search for a' GOP elephant'. I do not support or agree with any hate group agenda and certainly would not try to further their cause.

It is perfectly acceptable to call it out in real time, name the elephant in the room, it makes the hiring manager feel that if you make a mistake you are self-aware enough to catch yourself and big enough to admit that you've made a mistake and will fix it. Wouldn't you want to hire a person who will handle mistakes that way ?

Let's say it works, and there's no horrible consequences. No surrogate elephant moms die, the idea that by bringing mammoths back and by placing them into the Arctic, you engineer the Arctic to become a better place for carbon storage. That aspect I have number of issues with.

Brood X cicadas are one of the world’s most incredible animal phenomena, in a year where few of us may be traveling to see natural wonders like Africa’s great migration, or the elephant gathering of Sri Lanka, we are incredibly privileged to have this rare spectacle occurring in our very own backyards. Brood X provides an infusion of nutrients into the ecosystem, and humans have been enjoying this event for its sights, sounds and taste for millennia.

From the pictures Ive seen, the croc was a small subadult or small adult, and I highly doubt it was trying to take an injured adult elephant down. That seems like a lot of work for a smaller predator, and not in its favor, of course, you will always have more bold individuals that will take more than they bargained for.
