The cinchona alkaloids are extremely bitter tasting. Concentrations in the 100 to 300 ppm range are used to flavor beverages such as tonic water. Tonic water contains about 15 mg of quinine per bottle. 14 Quinine may have tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-suppressive activity as demonstrated in one small study.
Geckos Found in South Florida. South Florida has almost a dozen species of geckos. Only one of its geckos is native to the state; the other 10 are imports. Most of these lizards are found from the northern edge of Lake Okeechobee to the Florida Keys. Some geckos are longtime residents while others are relatively new arrivals.
The ones in colder climates (like the Eastern Spotted Salamander) brumate in the winter. (Brumation is the reptile form of hibernation). They go underground (or find a relatively warm spot in a concealed area) to do this.The ones in warmer climates (like the anoles which live in South Florida) have no need to do this, as the winters aren't too cold for them.sually lizards live in climates where the winters aren't harsh, but I'm pretty sure they live underground and hibernate, as do its relatives the salamander.
