STATE MUSEUM CURATOR ANSWERS ZOOLOGY QUERIES Dr. Paul W. Parmalee, curator of. zoology at the Illinois State Museum, is probably exposed as often as anyone in the state to questions concerning zoology. He has received long distance' telephone calls, special delivery letters and even telegrams, asking him to solve such questions as: Which animal lives the longest? (The giant tortoise may live to be 152. years old). What is the world's, fastest animal? (An Indian bird, the spine-tailed swift, has -flown almost 220 miles per hour). Can a dog outrace a horse? (The Arabian saluki has been known to outrun the fastest Arabian horse). Which is faster, a fox or rabbit? (The fox, on a straightway). Many a fisherman's friendship has been severed over debate on the oldest age of a catfish. Records show that some catfish, one of the longest- lived fish, have reached the ripe pld age of 60 years. At the other . extreme, the mosquito is an old-timer at two years. Two common Insects have the distinction of living the longest and shortest lives. One of the cicadas,' or locust, can live to be 17 years old (having spent 16 of those years In the ground). The house-fly's life is usually finished after *a few months. Back to the speed department, the. troplvy for fleetestof- foot animal would go to the cheetah, which has been clocked at 70 mph. A horse has been ridden as fast as 40 mph. and man has run the mile at slightly over 15 mph. Any questions? Send them to Dr. Parmalee at the Illinois State Museum, Springfield.
