Dear Mrs. K:
Is there any part of the Sahara that people can live
today? Was it always so dry?
Allen P.
Dear Allen:
Although the Sahara in Northern Africa consists
mostly of large dunes of sand and sandy wastes where
nothing can live, people do live in the oases where
animals and vegetables abound. Eight thousand years
ago the Sahara was a fertile region with flowing rivers,
grass valleys, fish and animals. The Sahara began
drying up about 2000 B.C.
Dear Mrs. K:
What color was- the first man who evolved and where
did he evolve?
Mr. Edwards
Dear Mr. Edwards:
Evidence shows that man first evolved in Africa,
which is called the cradle of mankind, around seven
million years ago. While the color of the first man
cannot be known from a study of his bones, it is
believed that his skin color was black because of his
origin in Africa, a hot continent.
Dear Mrs. K:
I read somewhere that the largest bird weighed over
five hundred pounds. Is this so?
Mrs. Erby
Dear Mrs. Erby:
The elephant birds (Aepyornis) of Madagascar which
is now extinct weighed around 1000 pounds. Its thick
egg shell could hold two gallons of water. However,
another large extinct bird was the moas (Dinornis) of
New Zealand. It stood 12 ‘‘eet tall and weighed about
500 pounds. The ostrich is the largest living bird today.
It stands around eight feet and weighs around 300
pounds.

Dear Mrs. K:
What are pit vipers and where are they located?
M. Barbour
Dear Barbour:
Pit vipers (subfamily Crotalinae) are snakes which
have deep pits on each side of their heads between the
eyes and nostrils. They include rattlesnakes,
moccasins, copperheads, the fe-de-lance, the palm
vipers and bush masters. Most of the species can be
found in America. However, some live in Asia. If you
are planning on catching pit vipers, you should learn to
handle them safely first. They are poisonous!
Dear Mrs. K:
Do momma lions and their babies have the same
color fur?
Anita
Dear Anita:
Grownup Hons’ coats are solidly tawny. The babies of
lions have mottled coats with spots. Their tails have
dark circling rings.
***
Dear Mrs. K:
How often do snakes shed their skins?
Ms. Ridley
Dear Ms. Ridley:
Snakes shed their skins whenever it is outworn. This
may occur one to six months from the time their old
skins peal off.
There are so many things to learn about Nature.
People want answers but sometimes are afraid to ask.
Well, don’t be.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7,1976
A RIDDLE IN RHYMES
by
Rev. T.M. Walker
WHAT AM I?
By the time you read this I will be here,
Having come from across the months.
The best thing you need is to maintain cheer
That comes a special way just once.
Since I've never bee here at any time before
There is no need for anyone to try
To claim I've been seen as old on time's shore.
When in reality I'm new and will be for a while.
WHAT AM 1?
As I come on the scene 1 am leaving behind
Something that's old but once was new.
Time measurements come between by on-going time
In units of twelve before I'm through.
But since I'm young and just getting a start
I regret the way time has to fly. ‘
But it’s fun if fold within me are smart.
For by the golden rule they will comply.
WHAT AM I?
One the first day of my newness folk celebrate;
But they don't do this day after day.
Those concerned about trueness never hesitate
To begin anew with me as they pray.
I am wished on others as no less than happy.
And to the lonely this could well apply.
Within me all should be brothers who are aptly
To keep a new season't standards high.
WHAT AM 1?
(The answer to last week’s riddle is SANTA CLAUS)
