Q: How do new species get created? At what point does one species evolve from another?
A new species is created when a population becomes reproductively isolated from its original population, leading to evolution over time.

Q: If you catch an inside spider in your house and then release it outside, is it going to survive?
Most times, house spiders won't do well outside since they have adapted to living indoors, but some species might survive if they are native to the area.
we're dumb...
Q: Why do humans get hairy butts, but other primates like chimps and baboons have less hair on their butts?
There are theories involving scent and friction reduction, but no definitive answer; it may have to do with evolutionary advantages that are no longer necessary.
we're dumb...
Q: Can marine mammals get rabies?
Yes, there is a current rabies outbreak in Cape Fur Seals, and rabies presents itself in these animals by making them aggressive or neurologic without foaming at the mouth.
we're dumb...
Q: Is it true that cicadas pee high up in trees and it appears like rain onto whoever happens to be below them?
Cicadas are the only bugs whose urine creates a rain-like experience. They drink tree sap and urinate frequently, leading to the phenomenon.
