While tail docking is an effective preventive method in some cases, if it is not carried out correctly it may result in other problems such as ill thrift or rectal prolapse. In lambs, tail docking at the distal end of the caudal folds tends to minimize docking effects on incidence of rectal prolapse.
Carbon Glacier is located on the north slope of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington and is the source of the Carbon River. The snout at the glacier terminal moraine is at about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) above sea level, making it the lowest-elevation glacier in the contiguous United States.
At room temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a common gas, about 0.05 percent of the air at sea level by weight. It is also a product of combustion and the respiration of all animals. When chilled below minus 109 degrees Fahrenheit, it becomes a solid, called dry ice. Dry ice was first discovered and observed by French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1925, the solid form of CO2 was trademarked by the DryIce Corporation of America as âDry iceâ. In the commercial production of dry ice, liquid carbon dioxide is chilled below minus 109 degrees Fahrenheit and compressed.
