Goats vs. Avalanche

"Un groupe de chamois se fait prendre dans une avalanche au dessus du refuge du Roc de la Pêche (www.rocdelapeche.com) - Pralognan la Vanoise. Vidéo réalisée par un de nos clients en avril 2013. Heureusement tout se termine très bien pour les chamois, ils n'ont pas d'ABS mais ils s'en sortent pas mal!!" "A group of chamois is caught in an avalanche above the refuge of Roc de la Pêche (www.rocdelapeche.com) - Champagny la Vanoise. Video made by one of our customers in April 2013. Fortunately, all ends well for chamois, they do not have ABS but they are not doing badly!"

Myotragus balearicus - Cold Blooded Goat

1st known cold blooded mammal.

"(PhysOrg.com) -- An extinct goat that lived on a barren Mediterranean island survived for millions of years by reducing in size and by becoming cold-blooded, which has never before been discovered in mammals...

The bones of warm-blooded animals show uninterrupted fast growth, while the bones of cold-blooded animals have parallel growth lines showing interrupted growth corresponding to growth cycles, rather like the rings seen in tree trunks. Growth and metabolism rates are adjusted to suit the amount of food available, whereas warm-blooded animals require food to be available continuously. The Myotragus bones showed the same interrupted growth as reptiles."
