Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

Video rather than a picture but did you know cuttlefish wave to each other?

Cuttlefish-interact-with-multimodal-arm-wave-sign-displays.gif?m=1746208579.402&w=800

^ When this video is played to cuttlefish they will wave back :-)

More here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101 … 3.648584v1

EDIT: some evidence they are also communicating with sound as well as their magnificent colour displays, which could be used for a form of communication with a bandwidth orders of magnitude higher than our primitive speech & language.

Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

^ Birds are freaking flying dinosaurs and the only thing cats are good for is killing them.

/sarcasm

I love kitties. Birds, not so much. Pea-brained flying dinosaurs with talons. Steel your fries/chips at the beach. Government surveillance drones. And peacocks, don't get me started on peacocks.

Huh, not very cheery there, hhh. tongue

Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

^Can confirm the beach snack-stealing. Some local kites are very good at this.

And if you ever visit Liverpool watch out for the massive seagulls, they'll steal your lunch every time...

Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

^ Not cheery, that's a flying dinosaur, government-surveillance programmed drone. They're easily programmed because of their pea brains. The chip stealing is just a cover for them grabbing your facial recognition.

That's a red fox. We have a family of them in the trees behind us. In my neck of the woods, when they clear a lot to build they leave a strip of woods between lots for city right of way and property line markers. The wildlife uses them as game trails. Our property sits about half-way between two small chicken ranches, so we have a family of fox living nearby.

Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

"Doggo" was a small joke, although male foxes are called dogs (according to Wikipedia). Females are called vixens and the cubs are called kits. Doggos and kitties! smile

This pic is the banner for the Virginia Dept. of Wildlife Resources' webpage on red foxes, it would make a nice wallpaper...

Re: Cheery Pic of the Day

Been a month and a half since I took these, about time I posted...

North Hutchinson Island, FL...

Harbor Point Park along the Indian River lagoon, Ft. Pierce, FL. I saw porpoises, the heads of juvenile loggerhead turtles and the backs of young manatees here. I'm sitting on a park bench for this shot...
