The Black Warrior river system of Alabama.
Alabama?
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/i/c/sac2t.html
RANGE AND POPULATION LEVEL: The flattened musk turtle occurs in the upper Black Warrior River system of Alabama. Present populations are believed to exist upstream from Bankhead Dam in Blount, Cullman, Etowah, Jefferson, Lawrence, Marshall, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston Counties. Only 15 percent of the Black Warrior system (142 out of 947 stream miles, including impoundments) is thought to support viable populations (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 199O). Historically, the flattened musk turtle was reported as occurring in this river system from the fall line northward. Exact population numbers are unknown. Within the current range, only about 15 percent of the habitat seems to contain healthy reproducing populations. Rangewide the species appears to be declining (Mount 1981; Ernst et al., 1983).
It would be a little bit too easy if we all just googled the answer.
Actually, I used the US Fish and Wildlife site --- since the question concerned wildlife.
You're supposed to use your head only. Not Google, not any other form of search, just your head :(Quote:

Someone please ask the next question. I do not wish to cause conflict.
A-level Geography at college is sh!t!!!! It's got nothing to do with geography. People can still get 'A's in pieces of work were thay say Africa is country. :rolleyes:
Anyway, here is a 1500 word report i'm currently doing. (failing)
'Discuss the view that fair trade is the most effective way to reduce the North/South development gap in the world.'
Define Geography. It's the age old debate of arts v science. And someone somewhere will feel that a subject just isn't geographical enough.
As for geography in the UK National Curriculum - well it is a bit of a joke. It doesn't address key geographical skills. That's my opinion anyway. Teaching it is a bit depressing really.
Anyway, next Q please :)
PS - Caroline here not Daniel.
Well Carl guessed, albeit after the answer was given lol. But I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
I'll step in here (doing a Geography degree).Quote:

And as for the curriculum aspect, there are many ways in which it could be improved. GCSE Geography especially.
I'm embarassed to say that even I don't know where many places are, due to my lack of decent traching of this very basic element of Geography through primary and secondary schools. Luckily i'm quite good at the techniques bit!
Anyway, interlude over, on with the quiz...
Hey Carl. Give us another one of your famous questions mate ;)
I believe Carl is away on a business trip for the next few days, so perhaps someone else would like to have a go...
Ok - I shall ask one as I am supposed to be sitting here doing some work and it just ain't happening :s
3 facts. Guess the country...
1. Former French Colony
2. Average annual humidity 87%
3. Former member of Comecon but became WTO's 150th member this year.
Happy guessing!
Cambodia? think it was a French colony anyway, and can't think off hand of any other colonies that might have been in Comecon? :erm:
Sorry quicksilver, incorrect.
Vietnam?
Yes indeed. Bit of an easy question, but it has been a looong day and my brain is tired :) Over to you jso1985.
