    Cane toads are a pain...

    Introduced by sugar cane farmers to combat Cane Beetle, but there's brains and then there's brains. Beetles can fly, toads can't. Complete failure as well as national catastrophy. They have caused almost as many extinctions as cats and that's saying something.

    If there's anything I learned from Australia, it's that you shouldn't introduce different species into a new environment.

    It's funny. There has never been a bear that had ever existed in Australia.

    That's a good thing. Especially when you see what a hungry bear can do to an unlocked motor vehicle. :eek:

    Well, let's just say that in their hungry quest for anything that's the slightest bit edible, that they'll attempt to tear anything apart to get to something that smells like food. And that it's amazing what they can do with their claws.

    Well, I'm back to full health and just in time for the new year. By the way, ever wonder why capybaras are cool with every animal?

    Last day of the year, but at least I'm mobile (with a little effort). Did you know that while ravens are more introverted than crows, they have life long bonds?

    I've always been strangely drawn to both species. I don't see them very often, but when I do I feel honored...

    Many larger birds do this, if they lose their partner they never take on another one.

    In the meantime owl males can have more than one mate.

    The chills have passed, but I'm left with a stuffy (sometimes runny) nose. Looks like I can't leave until after New Year's. Onto some more animal videos.

    Fever broke, but still have the chills. Been watching animal and airplane videos all day (wolves make for some good families)

    Just my luck. Family got sick, and may have passed it on to me. Looks, I'll be sticking around for awhile.

    New interest unlocked: Airplanes.

    That one has cycles around on repeat since I was a young child. I used to try to race the airplanes that would be starting to decrease altitude as they headed into the airport that wasn't far from my Grandma's house. The planes always won. I daydreamed about having one of those little one or two seater sport planes and pretended that my rope swing was a plane.

    Well, apparently, elephants seek revenge too. They really do have good memories.

    Pigs are also very vengeful. Here many farmers use an electric fence to keep feral pigs out of their property but if you only use the same lame 80,000 volts used for a cattle fence then the pigs will get angry and destroy the fence. A pig fence runs enough voltage to cause harm - 800,000 volts.

    800,000 volts AC sounds like a true metal of a fence, to use Gen Z slang. I know that electric fences are usually DC with pulse monitors, but 800,000 continuous volts AC would make the pig a nice dinner for the farmer.

    A pig fence is still only DC, just 10x the normal voltage. My brother got too close to one with the whipper snipper one day, it blackened the palm of one hand and the soles of both feet and he couldn't walk for over a week.

    Remember crows can remember your face and will tell their flock, so be nice (or at least not mean).

    You should always be nice to animals. Unless they're hornets. Then just run.

    It's kinda freaky that starfish limbs can regrow new bodies.

    Earthworms do this too, break one in half and the two ends will heal over and regrow the rest of their body, then you'll have two worms.

    Knowing that the stone fish exists makes me a bit nervous to walk on the beach.

    They're mostly reef creatures, stick to sandy beaches and stay away from rocky outcrops and you'll never see one.

    Those are scary, but kinda cute, in their own special way.

    Another of the most deadliest animal on the planet in Australia! 😃 Of course there is a YouTuber voluntarily getting stung by a Stonefish. "Let's enter the Sting Zone!"

    Bioluminescent oceans are so beautiful. I can't believe it's all plankton.

    You can buy dynoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) in small globes if you are interested in experimenting with them.
