Some crocodiles can do a full on gallop, which is pretty cool.

I didn't know they could do that and was happier before I knew. :stare:

Turns out you have to keep that up forever once you start, or they come in and wreck your desk looking for food.

The squirrels or your coworkers?

I kept a little bowl of candy at my desk when I worked at a call center but once word got around people were emptying it so quickly I couldn't afford to keep it filled. Reminded me of when I had a bird feeder!

A man in England had kept the same cell contract for 10 years, with the same voicemail greeting, because it was of his late wife.
Virgin Mobile did some sort of back-end upgrade, and it ended up deleting the voicemail.

So they had 10 engineers work to recover it:

There was a related video of a cat that's scared of the Mario jumping sound. The budgie doesn't like it much either.

Not sure if it's a repeat, but animal buddies are always welcome here. Today this gem popped up on my facebook feed.

Truly the entire world exists just for cats to rub their head on it. This cat must've got some sort of achievement for rubbing his head on a dolphin.

I love you, Dwayne Johnson. :allears:

I've been following his Instagram a while now and it's full of stuff like this.

One of my favorites is a very short video of him doing intense shoulder shrugs with a few hundred pounds and he sees someone in the gym talking to someone or otherwise slacking off and he barks "FOCUS!" but then immediately breaks into that huge smile of his.

EDIT: When I'm heading to the gym at 0430 and I see one of Rock's early-morning workout posts it definitely helps with motivation.

I live in SoCal and have a lot of trouble distinguishing between crows and ravens. Is there an easy way? I've read that possibly tail feather shape but that's not always visible.

I've seen ravens here in L.A. and they're big! The huge beak is a good guide, as well as their croaking calls. A funny youtube video had a good differentiation rule related to calling: crows rock to caw and ravens just rock. (Crows rock their body while they call, while the ravens call is a hoarse "rock" sound without the rocking motion.)
