Steve Meszaros, now a
freshman at Bloomsburg
State College, set a new
school record for the
‘““Huskies’” in a football
game against Shippensburg
last Saturday when he
returned the second half
kickoff 99 yards for a
touchdown. Steve is a 1980
graduate of Donegal High
School majoring in Pre-
Dentistry.
§§§
One biological rule states
that the larger the animal,
the slower the heartbeat. A
robin’s heart, for example,
beats S70 times a minute,
while an elephant’s beats
only 34 times. But it all
evens out in the end because
another rule, according to
Ranger Rick’s Nature Maga-
zines, says that most large
animals live longer than
smaller ones. So, from birth
until death all hearts, fast
and slow, beat about the
same total number of times.
§§§
A box turtle can support
on its shell a weight 200
times its own, according to
Ranger Rick’s Nature Mag-
azine. To equal this feat, a
person would have to be
able to carry two African
elephants on his back.
§8§
Scientists have discovered
that elephants purr, just like
cats, reports the National
Wildlife Federation. For
years it was thought that the
sounds were related to
digestion, but now we know
that elephants purr when
they are out of sight from
one another. If they stop
purring, it’s a sign to other
elephants that danger is
near.
