your site is awsome it acually helped me with my project. i have a fact for you.
Desert tortoises spend 95% of there time under ground

I love your site i have another fact for you.
Most researchers die before they finish researching the tortoises they were researching because of course tortoises can live longer than 100 years and humans dont.
That was my fact i think it is a really cool fact but i dont know if you did and thank you for reading my comment!!!

Re: "In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated. "
Bold Claim.
What about rabbits - Domesticated no more than 1500 years ago and probably approx 700 years ago ?
"Rabbit domestication dates back no further than the present millenium.
Several breeds of rabbit were known in the 16th century and this is the first record we have of controlled breeding. Domestication can therefore be traced to the late Middle Ages. "

"Domestication of the Rabbit began by French Monks between the fifth and tenth centuries A.D. "
