Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Pheromones (animal or plant) changing or directing behavior?
Autumn chloroplast changes due to light & temp conditions?
What is it about bird-poop that ruins statues? What is it about bunny poop
that's good for plants?

What vitamins do zoo animals need, since they aren't in the wild? How do
zookeepers figure that out? What are [any] vitamins made of?

Why do the deer get saltlicks? Or the parrots cuttlefish (which would not
be in the same biome in the wild)? Why are flamingo pink?

Hope that helps, off the top of my head...
