@Zookeeper Gabe , educate us, pls.haha.
i always wonder if the meat of vultures is so putrid that nothing wants to eat them? Do they have any natural predators?
I mean, you can see this Jackal's bellies full and therefore its ok walking away, but predators like that have no issue returning to feast off a carcass for days even as its going rancid. So why just let the vultures strip it to the bone, ...seems counterproductive. Why not rush in and kill a few of them, making the rest disperse and too scared to come back? You see vultures doing the same around lion and hyena kills as if no predator will touch them.
When I saw that gif I was amazed myself. Bird brain my ass, eh?Amazing.
i would guess you would have to see a child reach the age of about 7 or so before they might figure out how to bind those together if just left to figure it out.
I know some might argue its more 'monkey see, monkey do' then cognition, but at some point that had to be 'figured out' before it could be 'passed on'.
I do enjoy Flowerhorns and other hybrids, but parrots are just too far. They can't even close their mouths. They dying, tattooing and fin slicing in the Asian fish culture is pretty sickening. The newest trend is "bat rays". They slice up sting rays, and give them weird shapes. Some even try to pass them off as new species or varients from breeding
Ya, They like to say the snake charmer is hypnotizing the snake but I think snakes are simply not naturally hostile to humans. Sure they go into a defensive posture to initially say 'go away' or 'don't step on me', but once you are in their sphere, maintain calm and show you are not being aggressive, I think most snakes (save a few species) lose their aggression and many are willing to be handled.Amazing to watch that and I’m super glad it ended the way it did. I was hoping the guy didn’t get tagged, King cobra like that would be a pretty awful bite. Luckily they can’t strike up and that one was relatively small but dude had huge fucking balls
Edit: whenever I hear of some fucking pussy killing a small harmless snake or even a rattlesnake I remember there are people like this out in the world.

@MikeMcMann king cobras can raise a third of their body off of the ground and a big one is about 15’-18’. so they can literally bite you in the face from the ground.
