Maremmas bred to protect free-range chickens on farms are now being used to great effect in Australia to protect endangered penguin and gannet colonies.









They're about to start trying the technique to protect bandicoots too. They're training them now:

My rear end in a top hat cat loves to wait under a chair or table until my back is turned, and then run over and sink teeth and claws into my leg. I guess he's just a growth spurt away from murdering me.

For I am a cat, you see.
I've had a pretty terrible week. Got sick, cracked my phone screen, and got some really bad news about my dad's new job. He moved to another state for a new job and he's not going to be able to come home and visit as much as we thought.

Requesting cute critters, animals loving people, or people loving people. Or any combination thereof.

Thanks guys. This thread is my favorite.

I've seen these before - they're pretty funny and cute!

From a phyisological/anatomical perspective, T-rexes (and most other therapods) had a center of balance in their hip region (which was the result of having a tail for balance) whereas birds have a center of balance near their knee-bone (which is normally not visible, because it's in their fluff in front of their hip region). Their knee acts much like the hip of most other animals for the purpose of pivoting forward/back. Some dinosaurs, however, seem to have the same center of balance as birds: namely, oviraptors, for one.

Visual example



E: wording is fun

If you want something done, do it yourself!
And so, if you change the balance of a chicken, will it walk like a dinosaur?

Yes. The answer is yes.
