A study released by the Academy of General Dentistry tells us that the habitual biting of your finger nails can lead to fractured, cracked, chipped and worn front teeth and expensive dental bills.Nail biting affects around 30% of children between 7 to 10 years and 45% of teenagers. ( ref :Leung AK, Robson WL (1990). "Nailbiting".) In many cases the front teeth, not meant for constant chewing will develop cracks in their enamel and their shape can take on the shape of the nail biters fingernails,People wearing orthodontic braces are affected to a greater extent by nail biting. This is because of the added pressure exerted by nail biting in addition to the already existing massive pressure that is exerted by the orthodontic braces that are attempting to re-position the patient's teeth.Over a patient's lifetime it has been estimated that nail biting can lead to increased dental bills on average in the range of $4000 resulting from chipped or eroded teeth. In one case a Chicago man paid over $15,000 to repair damages to his teethNail biting can also transfer bacteria from the nail bed into the mouth and from the mouth to the nail bed and subsequently the patient's blood streamA...more

Chimpanzee plush are a terrific soft toy for anyone interested in monkey stuffed animals. And, even if you're not, the fun factor with chimpanzee plush is such, that your mind will be changed in an instant after you have spent some time with these irresistible soft toys.Humans are fascinated by chimpanzees, so it is no surprise that they are popular zoo attractions. In the wild, chimpanzees are mostly found in rain forests and wet savannas; both Uganda and Tanzania in East Africa , are home to Chimpanzees. They spend equal amounts of time on land and in the trees, although the majority of their feeding and sleeping is done in the trees.Chimpanzees live in communities which can be made up of as many as 100 individuals. While the whole troop may never actually gather all together at one time, they do share a home range that is protected fiercely from intruders. Within a Chimpanzee community, females are typically not related and as is the case likely do not associate with each other they also may not be on friendly terms. Once reaching adolescence, females leave their 'families.' Males, on the other hand, share blood ties and are quite cooperative. In fact, a mother and her male...more
