humans in differing climates
Humans tend to become larger in warm climates- maybe due to the excessive heat and therefore lack of need for movement-diet of course also being a factor. Humans in colder climates need to move so they don't freeze and seem to be smaller/thinner. Humans in colder climates tend to eat more baked/boiled foods. Or at least that is what I think. Seems to be reversed in animals.
These turtles are amazing- and the 'unrealized ones 'are ok- natural selection. Do female foxes hunt more than the males ? I know it is true of lionesses...hmmm. great pictures!
