pants

Pants are clothes we wear on our legs. Some people call them trousers.

Arty Smartypants has big pants, doesn't he? They're like a clown's pants that you might see at the circus.

The Spanish word for pants is los pantalones.

(brown tree snakes - they're taking over Guam)

Snake Population Distribution on Guam
There are little parts of Guam, maybe 3/4 of a football field in area that, according to some reports, have a lot of brown tree snakes. These aren't poultry farms. If you own real estate in these places you might wake up one morning with an 8 foot snake on top of you getting heat from you cause it doesn't make its own heat like you do. You might have to kill 6 or 8 snakes in a month from inside your house. This is an atypical Guam situation. In my seven years on Guam I never saw an uninvited snake inside my house. Why do so many snakes live there? Maybe these are little valleys which are more cool and moist. But what if it's something else?


and....


The Brown Tree Snake
Wildlife Services
November 2001

The brown tree snake was accidentally introduced to Guam in the late 1940s or early 1950s, probably from the Solomon Islands. A native of Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands, the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) is a dangerous threat to the economy and ecology of Guam and is the subject of a cooperative program to control snake populations on Guam and prevent its spread throughout the Pacific Rim.

Biology

Brown tree snakes are about 15 inches at hatching and may reach 10 feet in length as adults. Most brown tree snakes are 3 to 4 feet long. This snake is a rear-fanged semiconstrictor and is mildly poisonous. Both constriction and venom are used to help immobilize prey.

The snake's venom trickles into a bite victim along grooves in the rear fangs. Because of the relatively small size and position of the fangs, a brown tree snake must chew to allow the fangs to penetrate the skin.

The brown tree snake will readily strike when aggravated, but it does not present a danger to adults. A bite from this snake will not penetrate most clothing. However, babies less than 6 months old may be at risk from both brown tree snake bites and constriction. A young victim of a brown tree snake bite should receive immediate medical attention.

The snake is active at night and inhabits trees, shrubs, and forests. Although snakes are usually found in vegetation, they can be encountered almost anywhere. The brown tree snake spends most days coiled in a cool and dark location, such as a treetop or a rotted log. They are adept climbers and can crawl through very small openings.

The brown tree snake is extremely abundant on Guam, with localized estimates sometimes reaching 20 or more snakes per acre of jungle. These population density estimates are among the highest snake densities ever recorded. The only other snake on Guam, the introduced blind snake (Ramphotyphlops braminus), resembles a worm in size and shape and is harmless.

Damage

The brown tree snake has caused extensive economic and ecological damage to Guam. It is responsible for numerous power outages across the island each year. This species is an opportunistic feeder and has eradicated most of Guam's native forest birds.

As bird populations have declined, the snake has turned its focus to Guam's lizards. Rats, mice, domestic birds, and bird eggs make up the rest of the snake's diet on Guam. In the snake's native range, its populations are kept in check through natural processes such as disease, competition for food, and predation. Although these processes likely occur on Guam, they are not adequate enough to control the brown tree snake population.

Conflicts With People

Even though the snake is abundant on Guam, most people rarely encounter a live brown tree snake. These pests do not hang from trees in giant bunches, nor do they actively search out people to bite. In fact, many residents have lived on Guam for years without ever seeing a single snake.

The brown tree snake may be attracted to residential areas by an abundance of rodents, lizards, poultry, or debris that serves as habitat for snake prey. The snake may occasionally enter buildings while searching for food.

Simple precautions, such as keeping doors and screens secured, screening air ducts and pipes that open outdoors, keeping garbage and pet food in secured containers, and removing surrounding vegetation may make a building less attractive to brown tree snakes.

If you encounter a brown tree snake indoors, you should call local authorities for removal.

Now this brings us back to a question as old as time, Pondered by great philosophers(Mona, Hippy, and I)if you wear only half of a pair of trousers (pants, slacks, etc). Is that called a "Trouser" ???
 
Whoa.. :)
