FACT or CRAP ?



FACT

The dotted humming Frog eats ants, and ants eat tarantula eggs, so the frog lives with and is protected by the giant tarantula, like a pet.
That's not a conclusion you would immediately jump to! <
Calling it a pet is false. They have a symbiotic relationship where the frog provides protection and so does the spider. The spider cannot kill the frog because the type of species where the relationship exists has a poisonous mucus membrane on their skin which would kill the spider. Therefore they are equals in this relationship.

FACT or CRAP ?



FACT

The U.S. has unconditional birthright citizenship for persons born in America, and that includes the territorial airspace.
There are not " air orphans " in America!


So guess if my HRSB has that while she's flying down to mom's house I can claim it as American
