If a cat (big or small) was capable of licking the skin off a creature, they would all be skinless by now. Papillae are for grooming.

mice have taste receptors in their testes & it's possible other mammals do, too, with the genes for taste doing other duties in the body

Dogs must not have them, since they seem to have to manually taste their testicles at regular intervals

Unlikely since most mushrooms break down wood. Fungus in general maybe but still, why have decomposers if there's nothing to decompose.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It says "May have been" so it's a fact that it may have been covered in giant mushrooms?

Not really a theory in that context, either. Barely a hypothesis.

When your lungs are exposed to vaccum, gas exchange pulls all of the oxygen out of your blood. (1)

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Within seconds the brain experiences anoxia, and starts suffering damage. (2)

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

So, keep your mouth closed?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Your best shot at surviving is to exhale fully before you are exposed to vaccum to avoid your lungs tearing

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Despite the term, not all brain damage is permanent. Surviving vacuum exposure seems to be tied to cardiac arrest, with little incidence 1

of *long-term* damage as long as one is returned to pressure (and treated) before the heart stops. Based on research & human experience. 2

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Even if your heart stops before you're returned to a pressurized environment, an AED and a blood transfusion should fix that.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

In all the case studies, even with attempted resuscitation, heart stop=death. No one/thing ever came back from that.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Quite a few actually. Heart stop equals clinical death, not full death. The brain remains alive.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Right, what I'm saying is that, in cases of *vacuum exposure*, there's no example where anyone/thing came back after their heart stopped.
