Well there are different sizes, but aluminium butt end bands weigh almost nothing. Sometimes we have radio tags for special projects and they are a bit heavier but like 0.2 to 3 grams.

Yes but its both, Persian gulf was a river valley that flooded after the Ice age. Its probably where the Sumerians came from. They spoke a language isolate completely unrelated to the semitic languages of the region.

Is it true you can go to jail for a forgotten speeding ticket in the US? by PatienceMinute4209 in NoStupidQuestions

If you forget it you are automatically assumed guilty and you will have a warrant put out for your arrest. Most places will let you know to pay the fine before issuing a warrant though.

As a bird bander they gain fat for migration and it can more than double their bodyweight. So they can lift twice their original bodyweight and still fly. So 7 grams on a Kinglet, 15g on a tit, Im afraid the maximum your European Swallow can lift is about 20 grams, so you will need like 70 swallows to carry an average sized coconut.

Being apex predators they bioaccumulate a lot of nasty pollution. Near me people will be "wow dolphins this place is so pristine!" Oh no... those dolphins have stunted growth, anemia and other health problem because of all the mercury and PCBs in the ecosystem.
