It was obvious that he had been dangerous and threatening, and irrational for quite a while. He should have been taken to a psychiatric hospital long before he murdered a school bus driver and kidnapped a 5-year-old boy.. You make some excellent points. But in most places it would be illegal...

The ibis is something I always associate with Egypt; also the crocodile, the vulture and eagle; water birds like flamingos and herons; gazelles, gerbils [?] and the wild cat that may be the ancestor of Egypt's famous domestic cats. Can a visitor see any of these animals in the wild?

No, I'm in the USA and we have no nobility here. We left the aristocracy when we split off from Britain.

The British monarchy is strictly hereditary. Prince Philip is not in the line of succession for the British Monarchy. Queen Elizabeth is. She is the reigning Queen. It's true that when a King marries, his wife is called the Queen. However, she is not a reigning Queen but a Queen consort...
