Penguins seem extremely relaxed. Do they think people are other penguins?

fuzzy_logic posted:the big ones even use the handrail: I love how confused Baby Huey is at the end there. He just looks like such a lumbering dork. I think his name is actually Billy Jean or something because they are all Kings. I watched a bunch of Cincinnati zoo penguin videos the other day after watching the super stoked emperor penguin video over and over again.

There's a prof at the university here whose two favourite areas of expertise is 1. Tits, chickadees, and other birds of the Paridae family, and 2. Wombats. He tells classes about a project he was involved in as younger man, trying to teach wombats how to run from predators. See, in Australia there aren't many native predators of wombats that aren't reptiles, and reptiles tend to operate in short bursts of speed and then they're worn out, so when startled by a predator, what wombats do is run a little ways and then stop to look back to see what was after them. This works fine with a big old lizard, but mammalian predators have more stamina and will run longer, and unfortunately humans have introduced a number of mammalian predators to Australia which will kill and eat a wombat when they stop after the initial flight. So yeah, a whole program dedicated to teaching wombats to keep running when a cat got after them. It did not go particularly well, I gather. Anyway that's been my strongest wombat associated thought for a few years now.

I would not bet on the cat in a fight with a wombat. Those thing win fights with cars.

The Cincinatti Zoo is doing home safari videos about animals they have there. Seems like a good way to keep educating while nobody can visit. Day 1: Hippos with Fiona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEKhSO4WiX0 Day 2: Brazilian Porcupine with Rico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znhf46fjQ00 Day 3: Ocelots with Sihil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aafcPCw-Z0M

The wombat lives across the seas, Among the far Antipodes, He may exist on nuts and berries, or then again, on missionaries; His distant habitat precludes Conclusive knowledge of his moods, But I would not engage the wombat In any form of mortal combat.

For a brief second my brain thought "what if that cat is actually horribly dead?" but then I remembered it's a cat and that's one of many completely normal cat configurations.
