They're very small, shy, and plain looking, but famous for their incredible song.

The best part is when Mr bird is approached by a caterpillar, picks it up in his beak, turns it around, and nudges it off in the opposite direction. "How about...no."

At the last place I worked my coworkers would put nuts on the windowsill for the squirrels. That summer we all learned that squirrels have a pretty good memory for food sources and have no qualms about tearing your desk apart looking for the nuts if you forget to put them out one day.

I read about a guy who had a pack of crows following his car around for a similar reason. They kept doing this after he sold the car, and the guy he sold it to had no idea what the gently caress.

Not only do crows use tools, they make tools. And they even use tools for recreation:

Our poodle could do that 'Lassie' thing where you say 'Bring [this person] here', ...

Our lab could do this, as well as go and get various objects, and direct your attention to problems he wanted resolved.

So my mom used to put a sheet over his bed because it was easier to wash. One day, Gus walked up to mom and gave her his wrinkled forehead of great concern. He then led her to his bed, picked at a dirty spot with his teeth, then glared at her. His sheet was too dirty and he wanted a new one. He did poo poo like this all the time. Gigantic butthead.

ITT scientists raise dinosaurs and pretend they're birds to get them through customs

I see through your ruse.



The latest science says that birds are dinosaurs. Not descended from dinosaurs, actually dinosaurs. You toggle one gene on and they grow teeth. You stick a plunger to a chicken's butt, and it walks like a raptor. Dinosaurs are alive and well, and you can watch them feed in your back yard.

Fun fact: they actually kill more of what they eat than lions do.

Also, female spotted hyenas have what's called a "pseudo penis" through which they give birth.

Cats are big into familiar smells. Have your guy put more of your clothes from the hamper into the cat's basket.

This works with dogs too. When I was a kid and we got a lab puppy, my mom bought a little stuffed alligator and I rubbed it all over me after not bathing for a few days (lol, youth). That was the only stuffie type toy Gus didn't destroy. He carried it around like a teddy bear. Wish I had pictures.

Yup, that is what we have as the standard issue squirrel over here; the eurasian red squirrel, sciurus vulgaris.
I dunno what's so vulgar about them though, they are quite adorable.



I figure you're probably joking, but to those who don't know: vulgaris literally means common. The modern word vulgar is from Latin speaking aristocrats looking down their noses at commoners.

This reminded me of something that happened at work and have no one else to tell. :v:

A coworker is helping someone do research on sea otters, specifically, the contact between sea otters and Captain Cook's 1776 South Pacific expedition. I was looking at some of the material he had pulled showing the drawings Cook's men had drawn of the ~strange and mysterious~ creature, and I thought, "hmm, what is the difference between a sea otter and a river otter, anyway?" When I googled "sea otter," I learned that it is none other than the Enhydra Lutris! As in, SA's ~strange and mysterious~ otter-loving poster! :3:

So...I guess I still don't know what the difference is, because I stopped reading after that, too distracted by excitement. (I even exclaimed, "Hey, I know that otter!!")

I was more referring to the fact everywhere we go cats follow and kind of destroy everything, for fun.

To be fair, it's cute.

It does not follow from this that we shouldn't domesticate other animals. I find it hard to imagine capybaras decimating songbird populations, for example.
