Because its magic?

I would think the protein would. It would probably bind the iron directly. Otherwise the iron might go anywhere. Or it would have to be controlled by biologically controlled processes affecting iron deposition without directly involving a binding protein. The cell machinery of the sensory...

varies with the strain of flu. In some cases, this is fairly standard. Animals are the perview of vets. Often their main concern is the health of the flock. In some cases the flock can include larger groups so nuking a local flock is justified. Possible. Ask their immune system. Having a...

Magnetite (Fe3O4) is found in the radula (a scrapping tongue-like mouth part) of at least one mollusc (chiton). I think due to its hardness. Not all cases of iron have to be involved with magnetic sensing.

Ha! I have always found this similar relationship interesting. Hella Planitia on Mars. form this paper: from wikipedia: 5 km deep! About 2,300 km (1,400 mi) in diameter! Antipodal to the impact basin is a large disrupted area (Tharsis Bulge) contains several large volcanoes...
