Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Kedy tomu kone?ne povieme DOS?? by Barbora Misakova

maragiuffro — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:40:23 -0400

Príroda trpí. Viem, je to strašne otrepaná fráza, no je to tak. A ?o robíme my? My len predstierame, že o tom nevieme, že to nevidíme. No pravda je taká, že príroda k nám vysiela viac než zjavné signály. Viac cyklónov a hurikánov, ove?a viac ?udí trpiacich na astmu a rôzne alergické ochorenia, ove?a vä?šie množstvá nezmyselne uhynutých zvierat. Skuto?ne mám niekedy pocit, že nie sme schopní žiadnych citov. Nie sme schopní žiadnej empatie k ostatným. A to nemyslím len empatiu k ?u?om. Takmer každý de? po?ujeme v televíznych správach ?i rádiu o ?alšom masovom úhyne zvierat. Ryby ?i tu?niaci doslova obalení v rope. Delfíny ?i veleryby uviaznuté v plyt?ine. Zne?istenie, skaza, hluk, smrad, chaos. A ?o my? My sa len jednostaj pýtame: “?o sa stalo?” Z ?asu na ?as mám neskuto?né nutkanie zakri?a?: “MY sa dejeme! To sme my!” Rozmaznané ?udské plemeno so svojimi nekone?nými a sebeckými požiadavkami. My chceme pohodlnejšie a výkonnejšie vozidlá, priestrannejšie byty a domy. A pre?o sa obmedzova? jedným autom, ke? mám na to kúpi? si aj druhé? ?o na tom, že sa v každom z nich vozí len jeden ?lovek? Preto teraz kri?ím: “To MY sme sa stali! Sme to my!” A tí malí a slabí sa musia zo všetkých svojich síl snaži?, aby sa cez toto všetko dostali. Aby sa cez to dostali živí. Stovky ?ajok a rýb zmá?aných v nafte. Ešte vä?šie množstvá druhov, ktoré to ani neprežijú. Pod?a posledných správ sa našli stovky m?tvych malých tu?niakov v Brazílii. Samozrejme, opä? je tu viacero názorov, pre?o k tomu došlo a ?oraz ?astejšie opätovne dochádza. Niektorí experti sa domnievajú, že nadbyto?ný lov rýb spôsobuje, že tu?niaci sú nútení h?ada? si potravu ?alej od brehu. To potom spôsobuje, že mnohých zachytí niektorý zo silných oceánskych prúdov. A ke?že sú mlá?atá ešte slabými plavcami, jednoducho sa utopia. Iný odborníci zasa veria, že najvä?ším problémom je ich imunita, ktorá je stále slabšia a slabšia. Obvi?ujú zne?istenie ovzdušia, ktoré pod?a nich spôsobuje, že p?úca tu?niakov slabnú a ?oraz ?astejšie sú napádané rôznymi baktériami. Je tu však aj názor, že za všetkým stojí globálne otep?ovanie. To pod?a niektorých ovplyv?uje rôzne oceánske prúdenia a vznik cyklónov, ?o sa napokon prejavuje aj na správaní samotných morí a oceánov. Tie sú príliš drsné a nebezpe?né, dokonca aj pre tých tvorov, ktorí v ?om žijú už od narodenia. No ktorý z odborníkov sa odvážil poveda?, že nie zne?istenie, nie globálne otep?ovanie, ale že to MY sme tí, ktorí to spôsobili? related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080718/ap_on_sc/brazil_dead_penguins;_ylt=AsRfycNXRc5gqwcTmh8sJkms0NUE by Barbora Misakovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

When do we say STOP to it? by Barbora Misakova

maragiuffro — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:03:30 -0400

Nature suffer. We are pretending that we don’t know about it, that we can’t see it, but the truth is that nature gives us more than evident signals. More cyclones as well as hurricanes, more people with asthma as well as strong allergy symptoms, more animals dying uselessly. I really feel like we were incapable to feel. To feel any empathy to the others. Not only humans. Almost every day we can hear on the TV or radio news about mass death of some species. Fishes or penguins. Dolphins or whales stuck in the sand banks. Pollution, destruction, noise, smell, chaos. And what about us? We are just asking ourselves what happened? And from time to time I have a strong urge to shout: “We happened! It’s us!” Spoiled human kind with its endless as well as selfish demands. We just desire the an estimated all comfortable houses as well as cars. And why should we drive one car when we can buy two? I am shouting: We just happened! And those weaker as well as smaller ones can be only doing their best to go through this all. Hundreds of gulls as well as fishes drenched in petroleum. Even bigger number of those little ones who won’t survive. Hundreds of baby penguins found in Brazil. There are different opinions why these little penguins died as well as why is still more as well as more of them dying. Some experts think that redundant fishing force penguins to swim further from shore as well as so there's bigger possibility they shall be caught by strong ocean currents. As they are too small as well as can't swim as well as bigger ones, they just drown. Other experts trust that the biggest problem is with penguins’ immunity which is still weaker as well as weaker. They blame pollution which leaves them vulnerable to funguses as well as bacteria. Some experts maintain that global warming affects everything. It affects ocean currents as well as creating cyclones, what at the end of all have the great affect on the seas themselves. They are too rough, even on behalf of those who reside there from their birth. related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080718/ap_on_sc/brazil_dead_penguins;_ylt=AsRfycNXRc5gqwcTmh8sJkms0NUE by Barbora Misakovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Astronauts take another spacewalk on behalf of tamer job by Radka Konkolova

maragiuffro — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:53:29 -0400

People as well as scientists are usually so curious about the universe. So they have been preparing astronauts who then goes aloft as well as do some research there on behalf of numerous years. The biggest rivals in this direction are Russian as well as Americans. They have competed since the first flight to the space as well as actually that fight had probably started numerous years before that occassion. But recently it seems they perhaps started to cooperate, because of the fact that they can offer information to each other which is cheaper than it would be when doing alone. There have been comparatively sufficient humans somewhere above our heads, somewhere above the Earth atmosphere. And in spite of the fact that we can say the technology as well as construction of space shuttles are in high quality, there are still some difficulties with some components of Russian shuttle Soyuz. The members of Expedition 17, what is the seventeenth crew which shall stay in cosmos on the board of International Space Station (ISS) on behalf of quite long time, got something special as a task. First two members of the crew, commander Sergei Volkov as well as flight engineer Oleg Kononenko, are already aboard. This expedition is split to two phases. It started on April 8, 2008 when the space shuttle started from Russian cosmodrom Bajkonur. Both Russian from Federal Cosmic Agency of Russia (RKA) shall stay aboard till October this year. The third member of the group is not „stable“. There have been two of them as well as they are both Americans from NASA. The first one was the part of the expedition from April to June. The second one arrived on space shuttle Discovery in June as well as shall stay there to the end of the mission, till October as well. His name is Gregory Chamitoff. These astronauts otherwise got tasks, but they should manufacture only one spacewalk. First time they left ISS last Thursday, July 10, 2008. But only one left was not possible because of the fact that of the risk of possible explosions, which could damage their scafanders. So within five days they negotiated the discharge twice. These all were because of the fact that there have been difficulties with landing, because of the fact that there are explosive bolt in every shuttle which should split the „ship“ when landing. But this bolt is probably not very certain, because of the fact that it didn’t explode. So the predominant task of their was to remove this bolt very carefully as well as carry it to the space shuttle. It shall fly to the Earth with them in October as well as shall be dismount in order to detect what is the reason why it don’t desire to explode when it is needed. The predominant reason of Tuesday action was preparation to seismologic experiment, which should be a system of warning against earthquakes in the time. Because in the universe everything lasts much more than on the Earth, quite easy process took about six as well as half hour. It is quite long time as well as both astronauts were very exhausted when ultimately finished. They had to take photos of this action as well as of results their finished work, too. Afterwards they had to carry „bottles“ with bacteria, fungi as well as maggots which have been in the space on behalf of 18 months. The reason why this is so is the fact that scientists have wanted to know if they would stay alive in such conditions. During this Chamitoff was on the board of Discovery because of the fact that of the safety as well as he secured them in the case of immediate happening of anything. So thanks God they survived it in the health, in spite of the fact that this action was very uphill. So they shall spend the rest of the time probably only in the space shuttle as well as won’t go on behalf of such dangerous as well as uphill spacewalks till their departure on the Earth. I don’t know exactly, but probably I wouldn’t desire to see Earth from such perspective, because of the fact that stay in the space is in my opinion extremely challenging as well as can even damage people’s health. But on the other hand, there are not numerous people in the world who can say: „I was there as well as see the whole Earth as well as part of endless universe…“ related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080715/ap_on_sc/space_station;_ylt=AniyN1VbF7BWCg1xKJWlcM6s0NUE by Radka Konkolovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

New Orleans excavations by Silvia Szarkova

maragiuffro — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 21:31:21 -0400

New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral named at the end of significant French king Louis XIV. in heart of the French quarter is one of the nation’s oldest cathedrals as well as according to new facts revealed on Tuesday , maybe one of the an estimated all mystic ones. The very first archaeological dig in its fields revealed some unclear facts from New Orleans history as well as ultimately also has gone to find out some amazing treasures dating back to city’s foundation in early 1700s. Discoveries leading by Shannon Lee Dawdy include also a small silver crucifix, possibly from 1770s or 1780s as well as significant ruins of previously unknown comlpex of buildings dating back to 1718, when the city is supposed to be founded. Experts say the crucifix might have belonged to Pere Antoine, a Capuchin monk as well as the first rector of St. Louis Cathedral, which now dominates to Jackson Square. Shannon Dawdy told the press on Tuesday also about the history of his arriving to United States. Under the Spanish Inquisition Pere Antoine came to New Orleans as Rev. Antonio de Sedello as well as lived in a hut in the cathedral’s garden from late 1700s till his death- until 1829. The silver crucifix probably proofing his presence in the past shall be sent to be investigated, said Dawdy. She as well as her team of 8 students of University of Chicago were working in Cathedral as well as surrounding gardens on behalf of a month, concluded their work on Monday. St. Louis Cathedral was built in 1851 to replace the ruins made by one of the fires in 1788 as well as until now there has been no archaeological excavation, but at the end of Hurricane Katrina they used money og Getty Foundation to grant digs to Cathedral’s history, said Nancy Averett, spokeswoman of the Cathedral. Finds also include clay pipes, children’ s marbles, remains of china dolls as well as bits of Indian trade-like goods in Louisiana but the an estimated all important is maybe the fragment of Native American pottery. by Silvia Szarkovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

Russian Spacewalkers Volkov And Kononenko Handling Explosive Bolts by Milota Sidorova

maragiuffro — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:36:52 -0400

Late that afternoon, as I was walking home, I was wondering how is the whole planet moving. The idea of that, there's still someone working, learning, cooking, operational or sleeping made me feel like a small link in the planetary chain. However, my thoughts embraced just the Earth, those universal perpettum mobile principle spreads out into the space. And so it was with yesterday’s space mission of two Russian astronauts. Just few minutes past seven p.m. they left the International Space Station as well as set up on theirs even second spacewalk this week. During these following an estimated 6 hours they installed one science experiment, took back another one, disposed explosive bolt from the space capsule Soyuz as well as straightened a radio antenna. At first of all, both astronauts, International Space Station Commander Sergei Volkov as well as Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko, living on ISS since April 2008 poured themselves into including a docking target of a Russian mini research module on the space-facing side of Zvezda. Module should aid to cover the demand of upcoming double sized Russian crew. Volkov as well as Kononenko made a quick switch off, when abolishing space Biorisk experiment focusing on space influence on bacteria as well as fungi. The experiment had been established by Expedition 15 spacewalkers as well as lasted an estimated a year. They also changed an experiment monitoring seismic effects via high-energy particle streams in the very close Earth’s environment. After few more reparations, they underwent the an estimated all difficult part of their trip – to remove the explosive bolt of space capsule Soyuz, that has been having significant difficulties while descending last months. According technicians it was a mistake of bolts that had speeded up the capsule as well as exposed the crew extremely high G-forces as well as landed hundreds miles from the planned area.. Volkov as well as Kononenko manipulated with a box of a force of M-80 firecracker as well as was easily to blown off. Naturally, one needs more than a rocky solid personality to handle this one. Moreover, when it’s been more than quarter per annum that you have been breathing natural Earth’s air. Well, fair enough, that is the destiny of astronauts. Due the possible failures as well as emergency, also American Flight Engineer Greg Chamitoff has been referred to as on to enjoy the crew of Russian spacewalkers, during the entire mission.However, this time except of enormous portion of physical as well as mental exhaustion, nothing worse has happened. related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080715/ap_on_sc/space_station;_ylt=Aju9RYGNSsi01vrFDwRuYbGs0NUE by Milota Sidorovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Rímska vl?ica pochádza zo stredoveku

maragiuffro — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:26:57 -0400

Kapitolská vl?ica, ?i Lupa Capitolina v talian?ine, je skuto?ným symbolom mesta Ríma. 75 cm vysoká a 114 cm dlhá zobrazuje vl?icu, ktorá pod?a legendy kojila bájnych zakladate?ov mesta dvoji?ky Romula a Rema a tak ich zachránila pred smr?ou. Sochy detí, ktoré sú o?ividne v inom štýle než socha zviera?a, boli pridané až koncom 15. storo?ia a sú pravdepodobne dielom sochára Antonia Pollaiuola. V sú?asnosti však prebieha zanietené diskusia o datovaní samotnej sochy vl?ice. Doteraz bola verejnos? presved?ená o tom, že ide o etruské dielo z 5. storo?ia pred Kristom. No pod?a najnovších výskumov, ktoré zah??ajú aj techniku datovania pomocou rádioaktívneho uhlíku, sa zistili, že v skuto?nosti bola vyrobená v 13. storo?í po Kristovi. Anna Maria Carrubová, výskumní?ka, ktorá bola v roku 1997 poverená reštaura?nými prácami na soche a mala tak možnos? ju skúma? zblízka, je presved?eným zástancom tejto teórie: „Rozhodne ide o stredoveké dielo. ?ím viac som napredovala so svojim výskumom tým som si tým bola istejšia,“ povedala v stredu po?as telefonického interview. Prišla na to, že vl?ica bola vyrobená špecifickou zlievárenskou technológiou, ktorá sa pri výrobe antických gréckych a rímskych bronzových sôch nepoužívala. Ur?ovanie veku sochy pomocou rádioaktívneho uhlíku a termoluminiscencie sa uskuto?nilo na univerzite v Salente vo februári 2007. Výsledkom bolo potvrdenie Carrubovej teórie. Hoci pôvod sochy je stále nejasný, je pravdepodobné, že bola vyrobená v údolí rieky Tiber, niekde medzi Rímom a Orvietom. Samozrejme, že sa ozývajú i hlasy, ktoré vo?i tejto novej teórii zaujímajú skeptický postoj. „Pokia? ponecháme stranou otázku hrdosti nad symbolom Ríma, argumenty v prospech stredovekého pôvodu sochy sú stále nedostato?né,“ povedal Alessandro Naso, expert na etruskú problematiku z univerzity v Molise. Akáko?vek je už pravda, Kapitolská vl?ica stále predstavuje v mysliach Talianov mocný symbol a tí sa ve?mi nestarajú o jej presné historické datovanie.

Rome´s Lupa is medieval

maragiuffro — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:17:38 -0400

Capitoline wolf, or in Italian Lupa Capitolina, is the true symbol of the city of Rome. 75 cm high as well as 114 cm long it depicts a she-wolf that according to the legend suckled the founders of the city, human twins Romulus as well as Remus. The sculptures of the infants made in obviously different style compared to that of the she-wolf were added in the late 15th century as well as were probably made by the sculptor Antonio Pollaiuolo. However, now a fierce dispute is going on about the dating of the female wolf itself. So far the general public trusted that it was an Etruscan work from 5th century BC. But according to the latest research, including radiocarbon dating, it has been found that it was actually manufactured in the 13th century AD. Anna Maria Carruba, a researcher who was appointed with the restoration works on the statue in 1997 as well as had the opportunity to examine it closely, is a firm supporter of this new theory: “It´s decisively medieval. As I went ahead with my research, I was ever more sure,” she said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. She observed that Lupa had been made in a specific casting technique that was not used with the ancient Greek as well as Roman bronzes. Radiocarbon as well as thermoluminescence dating was carried out at the University of Salento in February 2007 to resolve the question only to confirm Carruba´s theory. Though the sculpture´s origins are still uncertain it is trusted that it was manufactures somewhere in Tiber valley between Rome as well as Orvieto. Well, of course there are voices still skeptic about the new dating theory. “Leaving aside the point of pride about Rome´s symbol, arguments on behalf of the medieval are weak,” said Alessandro Naso, an Etruscan expert at the University of Molise. Anyway, whatever the discussions Capitoline she-wolf still remains a powerful image in the minds of all Italians who do not care that much about its precise dating. related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080711/ap_on_re_eu/italy_how_old_the_she_wolf;_ylt=As3FYdSw96IHwxdK9NmlM.is0NUE by Zuzana Zelenakovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Tortuga marina Dylan vuelve al mar

maragiuffro — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:35:37 -0400

¡Un regalo increíble! Algunos biólogos y científicos dirían esto sobre una tortuga marina llamada Dylan, que fue encontrada hace nueve años. En aquel tiempo, Dylan fue nacida, vagueaba alrededor abandonada por sus compañeros del nido. Ahora, abandona Centro de Tortugas Marinas de Georgia en Jekyll Island. Después de un año de prepararación para la libertad y después de nueve años de cautividad, el lunes Dylan fue finalmente liberada al mar. Tal vez para los biólogos fue difícil de ver que su bebé se marcha, pero Dylan tiene que volver a su ambiente natural para vivir la vida idónea y valorada. En agosto 1998, la gente le encuentró cuando recién había salido del cascarón en una playa de Jekyll Island. Pasando su vida en dos centros diferentes, una vez vivía en Aquario de Georgia y después la trasladaron al Centro de Tortugas Marinas de Georgia en Jekyll Island, de donde le liberaron. Esta tortuga marina de 150 libras es considerada una especie amenazada. Otras siete variedades de tortugas marinas están en peligro de extinción. Durante la liberación, casi no pudo encontrar el camino al mar, pero el veterinario Terry Norton, le ayudó volver al mar, con 300 personas mirando de la playa. Norton dijo que la tortuga intentaba alejarse, pero aparentemente se confundió por las aguas poco profundas y el lodo, por lo que nadó de manera paralela a la playa por un momento. Pero finalmente, la liberación tuvo éxito. Durante su permanencia en el centro, los empleados reconocieron que Dylan es una hembra. Es muy importante, porque en la mayoría de los casos es casi imposible decir la edad de la tortuga hasta sus 30 años. Otro biólogo del Departamento de Recursos naturales de Georgia, Mark Dodd dijo, que Dylan lleva un transmisor, que señala hasta 100 yardas. Señalará cuando saldrá a la superficie. También dijo sobre Dylan: " La mejor cosa para ella sería de andar aquí, conseguir cangrejos gordos y tal vez después de 20 años la veremos otra vez poniendo huevos.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Morská korytna?ka Dylan je naspä? v prírode

maragiuffro — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:11:10 -0400

Neuverite?ný dar! Nejaký biológ a vedci by mohli poveda? o tejto morskej korytna?ke, ktorá sa našla pred deviatimi rokmi. V tejto dobe sa Dylan narodila, a opustila svoje hniezdo. Teraz práve opustila Centrum morských korytna?iek na Jekyllových ostrovoch. Po roku príprav na život na slobode a po deviatich rokoch zajatia, v pondelok bola Dylan kone?ne oslobonedá a vypustená. Možno to trhalo biológom srdce ke? videli ako ich die?a odchádza, ale Dylan sa musela vráti? naspä? do prírody a za?a? ži? plnohodnotný život. V Auguste v roku 1998 ju našli bojova? na pláži na Jekyllových ostrovoch. Svoj ?as trávila v dvoch prírodných centrách, bola premiestnená z Georgia akvária do Centra morských korytna?iek na Jekyllových ostrovoch odkia? bola potom vypustená. Táto morská korytna?ka je chráneným druhom. Sedem iných druhov korytna?iek sú tiež ohrozenými druhmi. Ke? bola vypustená, ?ažko h?adal cestu do mora, ale veterinár Terry Norton jej pomohol nájs? cestu do mora a 300 ?udí na neho pozeralo z pláže. Norton povedal, že bola zmetená a plávala naspä? na pláž, ale nakoniec odišla. Po?as jej pobytu v centre zistili, že Dylan je sami?ka. je to dôležité zistenie pre ur?enie veku. Biológ Mark Dodd povedal, že Dylan ma na sebe vysiela?, ktorý má dosah 100 yardov.Tiež povedal o Dylan: " Najlepšie pre ?u by bolo aby ostala tu, jedla ve?ké tu?né kraby a možno o 20 rokov ju uvidíme zvova ako liahne vají?ka." related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080630/ap_on_re_us/sea_turtle_release;_ylt=As6.Y_lxu80Tg1T2zx1iPyCs0NUE by Beata Biskovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !

Chris Cantell behadelt Die Wissenschaft: Seeschildkröte Dylan zurück in die Natur

maragiuffro — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:22:33 -0400

Ein unglaubliches Geschenk! Einige Biologen und Wissenschaftler würden das über die unechte Karettschildkröte sagen, die vor neun Jahren gefunden wurde. Damals wurde Dylan nur geboren und wurde von einem ihrer Geschwister aus dem Nest hinausgedrückt. Nun verließ sie eben das Georgia Seeschildkrötenzentrum auf der Jekyll Island. Nach einer ein Jahr dauernden Vorbereitungsperiode für das Leben in der Freiheit und neun Jahren von Gefangenschaft wurde Dylan am Montag schließlich ins Meer freigelassen. Für die Biologen war das vielleicht herzzerreißend mit anzusehen, wie das Baby wegschwimmt, aber Dylan musste in ihren natürlichen Lebensraum zurückkehren, um einen ausgefüllten und wertvollen Leben zu leben. Im August 1998 wurde sie auf einem Strand auf der Jekyll Island von Menschen gefunden. Sie strengte sich an und kämpfte ums Überleben. Danach verbrachte sie ihre Lebenszeit in zwei verschiedenen Naturzentren, einmal wurde sie ins Georgia Aquarium übergelegt und dann ging sie ins Georgia Seeschildkrötenzentrum auf der Jekyll Island, wo sie schließlich freigelassen wurde. Diese 150 Pfunde wiegende unechte Karettschildkröte ist als eine gefährdete Art klassifiziert. Sieben andere Seeschildkrötenarten sind auch gefährdet. Wenn sie freigelassen wurde, konnte sie den Weg ins Meer nicht gleich finden, aber Veterinär Terry Norton half ihr dabei, zurück ins Meer zu kriechen. Sie wurden von 300 Menschen auf dem Strand beobachtet. Norton sagte, obwohl sie habe losschwimmen wollen, sei sie durch das seichte Wasser verwirrt worden und daher habe sie angefangen, zurück zum Strand zu schwimmen. Letztendlich ging aber alles gut. Während ihres Aufenthalts im Zentrum stellten die Angestellten fest, Dylan sei ein Weibchen. Das ist sehr wichtig, da in den meisten Fällen es nahezu unmöglich ist, das Geschlecht der Schildkröte noch vor ihrem 30-ten Geburtstag zu bestimmen. Ein anderer Biologe aus der Abteilung für Naturquellen in Georgia Mark Dodd sagte, Dylan trage einen Funksender, der alle 100 yard ein Sinal aussendet. Er ist so eingestellt, zu signalisieren anzufangen, nachdem sie auftaucht. Er sagte noch über Dylan: "Das Beste für sie wäre, wenn sie sich irgendwo dort einsiedeln würde, fette Krabben essen würde und vielleicht nach 20 Jahren wir sie wieder zu sehen bekommen werden, als sie Eier legt." related story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080630/ap_on_re_us/sea_turtle_release;_ylt=As6.Y_lxu80Tg1T2zx1iPyCs0NUE by Barbora Haramiovafor PocketNews (http://pocketnews.tv) PocketNews is a new real-time news broadcaster delivering the latest as well as hottest news right to your pocket !
