    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.

    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.

    Elephants mourn over the ones they lost (even some people). That's...resonant.

    Not sure why people are still so surprised that wooow animals have feelings!!!

    They can also suffer anxiety and depression and the whole range of mental health problems that humans have. Try ignoring your dog or cat for a couple of days and see what happens.

    It's always worth remembering that what humans call "instinct" in animals is the same as what humans call "feelings" in other humans.

    The Tasmanian Devil looks nothing like it's cartoon counterpart.

    Tasmania recently managed to get a team in to our national football league, the AFL. They naturally named their team the Tasmanian Devils. Warner Brothers took them to court over the use of that name. It got thrown out of every court in Australia with Warner Brothers lawyers refusing to accept that there's a real animal called a Tasmanian Devil.

    I reckon if there's enough money involved US lawyers would even deny that Tasmania exists and start demanding royalties for that name too. It's named for the Dutch navigator that found it in the 1600s - Able Tasman.
