(Mostly) Harmless Denizens of the Weird Forest



In the strange lands devoid of squirrel, chipmunk, bunny, mole, vole, mouse, deer, moose, fox, or raccoon.

1. Arboreal armadillos scramble up and down treetrunks with impossible nimbleness
2. Tiny forest pachyderms trumpet and stampede to little effect
3. Wingless pixies swing around from tree to tree like tiny Tarzans
4. Semi-boneless cats slither around swiftly with nominal aid from adorable vestigial paws
5. Tree cucumbers extrude their stomachs rudely, like getting licked by a horse
6. Mouse-sized shell-less turtles in their hordes nibble indiscriminately on this and that, move in concert like flock of birds
7. Brightly hued nectar sipping honey bats abide in their tree-top hives, behavior guided by their noble queen
8. In the fall and winter huge fuzzy cuddly caterpillars gnaw down great oaks beaver-like, in the spring and summer huge kite-winged firefly moths illuminate the wood
9. Monkey-wrench apes descend nightly to obsessively disassemble anything wrought by human hands (including unstitching garments, uncorking wine), then laugh about it until just before dawn
10. Arm-length mantises keep a respectful distance while munching the heads off of wingless pixies, at night they play their wings like violins
11. Forest clams mimic tree fungus until prey animals perch on their open shells, also known to throw surprise muscle punches at humans who get too close/screw up their action
12. Rat-sized stink pigs contentedly oink, reek while scavenging, harbor perverse affection for iron rations

  3. Using birth control pills does not save eggs for infertility. The hormones in birth control pills prevent the pituitary gland from releasing FSH, the hormone responsible for triggering the growth of egg follicles in the ovaries. This, in turn, prevents the release of an egg from the ovary, which is the first step in conception. The Best IVF Center in Pakistan is Australian Concept Infertility Medical Center.

  4. An ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency, requiring immediate medical attention. While the pregnancy is usually not viable, it has been described in which the placenta has found sufficient blood supply outside the uterus and has attached itself to an organ in the abdominal cavity, such as the bowel, mesentery, liver, or hepatic artery. Rarely, the aorta has also been involved. Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy will depend on the symptoms and the stage of the pregnancy. The Best IVF Center in Pakistan is Australian Concept Infertility Medical Center.

  5. TESE, or testicular sperm extraction, is one method of sperm retrieval. This procedure involves using a needle to collect sperm from the epididymis, which is located behind the testicle. Certain conditions such as vasectomy or enlargement of the testis can cause an enlarged epididymis, which can make sperm retrieval difficult. Both techniques are fairly safe and can be performed under local anesthesia. Australian Concept is a best center for Azoospermia Treatment.
