"where food and water  are abundant" ...does it mean , watering holes had food and water ? Yes. "during the day  " .....what does it mean s  in this context ?  No special meaning.  Many animals like to be at one place while it is daytime and at another place while it is nighttime. "more frequent litters ".....what is a litter ?  A group of little baby animals that were all born at almost the same time. >> CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,393 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
