From Wikipedia ( View original Wikipedia Article ) Last modified on 30 January 2012 at 02:51 Snow flea Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Entognatha Order: Collembola Family: Hypogastruridae Genus: Hypogastrura Species: H. nivicola Binomial name Hypogastrura nivicola (Fitch, 1846) Snow fleas are a species of dark blue springtail, Hypogastrura nivicola. They are often seen jumping about on the surface of snow on a warm winter day.[1] Research at Queen's University (Canada) have sequenced and synthesised the anti-freeze-like protein that allows snow fleas to operate in sub-zero environments,[2] and found its sequence to be glycine-rich, and unlike any previously known protein. There are hopes that similar proteins may be useful for storing transplant organs and for producing better ice cream.[3] By preventing the formation of ice crystals in tissues, organs could be stored at lower temperatures, increasing their lifespan outside a living body. Unlike proteins with similar functions in other species, the protein found in snow fleas breaks down easily at higher temperatures.[4] ▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/HillOrStream ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ieHFWdz55w

Two live recordings of Dan performing Green River to entertain the audience between sets. In the first, Dave Root tries to find the rhythm to accompany, kind of an interesting take or layer towards the end where he has picked up on the tune.. A second, bare version starts at 3:53, very nice. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ab7_617H7g

Yes, I really do clean my cat's teeth! It doesn't have to be difficult, only takes a few minutes. Doing it weekly or more gets your pet used to submitting to the procedure. C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste, by Virbac Animal Health, seems to be effective at softening built up tartar if used at least weekly. ▶ Check out my gear on “Kit”: https://kit.com/HillOrStream ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hrXc03SkGc

Just a bunch of llamas... From my HillsAndStreams channel. Or are they Alpacas? Or a mix of both types? ? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJh1qU0TjE
