Turtles give birth to more females in warm weather
A turtle's gender is not determined by chromosomes but the ambient temperature of the eggs. This has become a matter of concern in light of global warming with a threat of an all-female population and extinction.

#8 48F does not equal 9C, it's more like 27C (when you're talking about absolute temperature, NOT from zero)

#32 -- I think some scientists need to recheck their math... There are 24 hours in a day, each 60 minutes long, so there are 1440 minutes in a day. If the average session is 17 minutes long, than a lioness would be able to mate 84 times in a day and have 12 minutes leftover to eat, sleep, etc.

I beg to differ!
48degF is 8,888degC
(Fahrenheit-32)/1.8 = Celsius

Except a select few scinetists noone talks absolute temperature, ever heard that the midday temps i Florida will be around 600degF on the tube?
