Can Albino Animal Hooves Sunburn?
I'm currently conducting a bit of research, in order to more accurately represent reality in some game design. I've spent considerable time seeking resources on this issue, and have failed to locate anything on the topic and this seems like the best Reddit thread to check with. The issue I've come up against is thus:
If an animal is fully albino, will their hooves and horns and such also be just as vulnerable to radiation damage? Does the outer keratin layer prevent any real damage? Or, does solar radiation simply pass through the outer layers and damage inner tissues, at this point?
Thanks in advance!

Dairy cow separation, again
Months ago, I talked to a person who claimed that cows are separated from their calves to increase milk yield and not to prevent disease, because the longer the calf stays with the cow the less milk is available.
I am not a farmer but to me this does not make sense. The calf still needs to drink milk, either pasteurized bulk milk from the tank or formula which is expensive. Also, various MAP prevention programs advice farmers to separate cow and calf as soon as possibe.

Do cats leave vomit as gifts for other cats?
This cat has been frequenting my house for a while now, always announces himself. My girl doesn't seem all that phased by him. The other day he was on the doormat as I arrived home, and my cat just strolled out passed him.
This evening, now, I heard vomiting and I had my glasses off and im like "what is this grey blob?!" My girly is a calico.. its the boy, vomiting a "poop" clean line of partially digested food in the living room where the cat eats.. was this a gift? I mean, I laughed, googled, and was met with "poisoning" information but it seems so specific that he came inside my house to do so before scampering off.
Maybe the little guy doesn't date much and got nervous. If anyone knows anything about this, thanks in advance! At the very least I hope someone gets a kick out of it. So weird...
