ASK ME
ABOUT
NATURE
by Doris B. Kwasikpui
Dear Mrs. K;
My mother is eighty years old and she still enjoys
wild flowers. She wants to know why people are not
allowed to pick the Trailing Arbutus (May Flower)
anymore.
Mrs. E. Byers
Dear Mrs. Byers:
It is nice to know that your mother enjoys wild
flowers. The Trailing Arbutus has been over-picked and
has disappeared from many placed where they once
were common. This plant with its early spring pink or
white flowers and spicy fragrance, is now protected by
law in many states in the U.S.A. and people are not
allowed to pick it anyfnore.
Dear Mrs. K:
Does the norned toad squirt blood from its eyes?
Seventh Grade Science Class
Aycock Jr. High School
Raleigh, N.C. 27610
Dear Class:
In some species, the horned toad or horned lizard as
it is also called, will squirt a stream of blood from the
corner of its eyes when captured.
***
Dear Mrs. K;
Do snakes charm people like the one did in the movie
The Jungle Book?
Peggy White
Dear Peggy:
Snakes do not “charm” people. However, some
people, who are afraid of snakes, are rendered helpless
into a state of frozen fear when they see one.
Dear Mrs. K:
1 love birds and like to imitate them. Will you tell me
the kind of song the goldfinch sing. When the
goldfinches stopped to feed at the sunflowers in our
back yard last summer, I could not catch their song.
Albert M.
Dear Albert;
The beautiful yellow and black goldfinch sings “per -
chic - o - ree” in a sweet voice.
Dear Mrs. K:
Iheard that spiders have four eyes. Is this true?
Sammie King
Dear Sammie:
Some spiders have four eyes or six eyes. However,
most spiders have eight eyes.
Dear Mrs. K:
Do all deer have antlers?
Anthony R.
Dear Anthony:
Only the male deer have antlers.
