Ask a Scientist
Here's the best question I've heard in a while: Why aren't there any mammals with green fur? *
This is one of many in the archives at "Ask a Scientist", a very cool site hosted by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Ask your own question here using the on-line form, and get an answer in about 2 weeks (They are not a substitute for doing research for your homework.) I think I'll add this to the useful links on our blog.
(* Sloth fur doesn't count, smart aleck. That's algae that makes it green-ish.)
