Cambrian period 543-490 million years Introduction The Cambrian Period marks the beginning of the Paleozoic Era. This period gets its name from a place in Wales where the first examples of this type of ancient life was found. The period lasted for nearly 53 million years‚ from about 543 million years ago until 490 million years ago. The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on earth; it is the time when most of the major groups

Is it ethical to feed live food to exotic pets? Abstract Live food items are often fed to exotic pet species whether they be birds‚ amphibians‚ reptiles or mammals. This raises issues of welfare‚ both of the animals fed live prey items and the prey itself. Concerns over live food welfare are particularly marked in the feeding of vertebrate prey items and evidence presented here shows the prolonged time taken for rodents to die‚ this fuelling these concerns. And yet the welfare of all exotic
