Who knew mountain beaver is such an interesting North American mammal? I thought you were trying to trick me into viewing some NSFW site.Quote:

Learning new stuff and even got to teach the husband about the mountain beaver, which he had not heard of prior.
But now as I finish writing that, I hear it [emoji23]

Professor at my college had interesting theories about the origin of the human species and its evolution from other primates. Part of his research involved comparing the physical strength of various primates, so he made a device a little like a one arm bandit. The test subject would pull on the arm and machine would register the strength of the pull. He tested the machine on some football players (Oberlin football players so roughly the size and strength of riders in the Tour de France) and then on a adolescent female chimpanzee. The chimp was not interested so the prof tried to provoke her into pulling on the arm. Finally she got pissed, and pulled the arm right off the machine. That was the end of his research. Do not mess with chimps.Quote:

Reminds me of the video clip on wild.planet of the giraffe with a pride of lions hanging off it. One biting into its neck, one on each back leg, the giraffe just hauling them around. Caption says this went on for 5 hours. And the giraffe won, the lions gave up. Incredible strength.

It would have been better if the bear and bison stopped fighting and both attacked the photographer.Quote:

The heck with grizzly vs gorilla match. I want to see Rocky Mtn Bighorn against Moose over road salt. Have them warm up against a half ton Ford first.
Those things didn't even flinch with the traffic driving on top of their kilometers long salt lick.
Very cool wildlife-on-the-road warning system up there. About 5 km before that photo was taken, some flashing lights and signage telling drivers to slow down and use caution.
Slow your roll there doc, Oberlin football players?Quote:

Perhaps surprisingly there still is a team. And my freshman year we won the Ohio Athletic Conf men's basketball championship.Quote:

The development behind my house just bulldozed the retention pond they built early in the excavation a year and a half ago. Since it filled up we’ve seen the introduction of several species of frogs and toads, dragon flies, hummingbirds, cattails, and flowers I haven’t identified. We’ve always had bats but they’ve multiplied and go nuts on bugs in the evenings. Despite lots of rain, mosquitoes and gnats are way, way down. At night I love going out on the back deck to listen to the frogs sing to each other. Overnight, it’s all gone. I knew it was going to happen but I didn’t expect it to bother me as much as it has.
No pics and I’m really bummed it didn’t take some shots over time to track the changes. So, here’s the last pic I took before I got bummed about the ugly houses that now fill the view. Also some random summer wildlife including the ass of a bear that I followed along the trail on my bike while I desperately tried to pull my phone out of my pocket to get a pic.
