Larry, if sharpei is not the right answer, I think you should probably ask another question, since ya stumped us :-)

> Larry, if sharpei is not the right answer, I think you should probably ask another question, since ya stumped us :-)Well, I'm glad someone spoke up. It had gotten to be a rather narrow field.
You are correct.
What would you have thought about Pekingese? Or shih-tzu? They are of the same close relationship to the wolf. So is the chow-chow, akita, basenji and saluki. Although the malamute and husky were included in the list of closest relatives, there is some contention with respect to their inclusion. They are known to have been bred by/with wolves in historical times, which would artificially inflate the genetic linkage.
It's all in Science, Vol 304, Issue 5674, 1160-1164 , 21 May 2004.
Your question Tamara.

question since she had said already said sharpei? That would be my preference, if you don't mind.
I liked your question. BWT, my dog, a pound puppy, is part sharpei and basenji (with some shiba inu mixed in there).

alex, a Shar-Pei? Let's see, according to the American Kennel Club, a Shar-Pei's temperment is:
Regal, alert, intelligent, dignified, lordly, scowling, sober and snobbish essentially independent and somewhat standoffish with strangers, but extreme in his devotion to his family. The Shar-Pei stands firmly on the ground with a calm, confident stature.Well, they got the snobbish part right! lol ; ) Toph

are waiting with bated breath. I have already asked a question, so, since you had said sharpei before you knew the rules of one answer per person, I thought you could ask the next question, if you don't mind.
Larry, Sunny would probably have received notification of a new post to the thread, so she would have seen the post that said she was up. Perhaps she is thinking of a real mind-bender to stump us all. Oh no, better get my brain out of the pickle jar.

True or false, there is a bird that feeds on blood? If true, what is this bird's common and species name and where does it live?

It's called the vampire finch, and I don't know all (if any) other the places it lives, but I think it can be found in the Galapagos islands.

> It's called the Vampire finch, and I don't know all (if any) other the places it lives, but I think it can be found in the Galapagos islands.The Vampire finch is one of four species of ground finches on the Galapagos Islands. This particular finch is called the sharp- beaked finch ( Geospiza nebulosa). The vampire finches reside specifically on Wolf Island of the Galapagos. The vampire finch feeds on the blood of other birds, mostly the Masked Boobies and Red Footed Boobies. It is believed that this behaviour evolved from peaking for parasites on other birds.
Hehe...I recently saw this on National Geographic.

I wonder if being called Red Footed Boobies makes them a bit sad sometimes.
Have you ever read about Bower bird? If you haven't you should, they are so cool!
They build houses with little lawns and everything! Some of them even make duplexes, and they paint them and decorate the outsides with
things they find. One even used a glass eye.

Doesn't have a duplex though ;)
