Russian owls?

Perhaps it's the cynic in me, but to my eyes those clips look to be AI creations.

This one I actually took. I wonder if there is a single fiber anywhere in this cat that is not on super high alert?

Looks like it got too curious about a van de Graaff generator!

Here is a good description of what goes on in parts of metamorphosing insects:

The pictures of developing wing disks:

These kinds of visual displays of gene expression in different areas of tissues is both common and useful in developmental studies.

1 day old armadillo babies born to an injured mother who died in a shelter.

I believe they are usually born as octuplates (sets of 8 twin offspring).

I'm on top of the world! Or at least on top of the tree stump...

Are you folowing it, @DennisN ?

 

[Borg]

Sounds like moose-see TV.

Are you folowing it, @DennisN ?

No, I did not know about it. Quite fun that some people are that fascinated by moose .

From a TV commercial by a lawyer in this area:

I often seen them outstanding in their fields while I'm driving around the back roads.

Ever wondered what stoic means? Here is the answer:

Busted!

52 km/h in a 30 km/h speed zone.

Another heist I laughed at the other day.

I have seen a video about a cat these days that watched people at a fish market exchanging strange pieces of paper for fish. Ever since, it comes every morning with a leave to buy a fish. And just today, I saw a girl in Seattle who regularly feeds a flock of crows, and the crows bring her little gifts in return. They even changed their gifts from natural things at the beginning to artificial gifts like little plastic octopuses, hearts, or other shiny things.

I've heard about crows doing that. I remember a fun clip I've seen about birds coming with gifts, I'll see if I can find it, and if so post it here.

I have also seen a bird using bread for fishing in shallow water.

The story behind the gifts from the crows was that the girl collected over a hundred of them, which is really many, and that they changed their offerings from cute stones to things a little girl would probably like better.

The most astonishing thing I once saw myself was a cat crossing a four-lane road. It ran to the middle, stopped, and watched the traffic before she crossed the lanes for the other direction.

We shouldn't underestimate these guys!

We shouldn't underestimate these guys!

I totally agree!

I looked on youtube and I think it was this one I've seen:

There is a video of this that is run backwards (see below).
Then the coatis animals really look like little long necked dinosaurs (the tails are the long tall parts).
