Tasting hairs on the legs of a roach can not only help it determine a food source, but help it avoid pesticides as well. Glycocides -- poison baits mixed with glucose -- were traditionally used to dose the sweet-loving cockroach with lethal toxins.
as my interests are far and wide. A kangaroo's tail helps it to bound and spring up from the ground. It has been noted that, if a kangaroo's tail is lifted off the ground, it cannot jump properly.The tail is also used for balance. Recent research has also indicated that the tail is more important than the forelimbs when a kangaroo walks.A kangaroo cannot move its hind legs independently (except when swimming), so when a kangaroo moves slowly, it has always been thought to drag itself forward by its forelegs.he tail is also used for balance.
