    The story of Pica the spider monkey is both beautiful but also strange and a little sad.

    I would love to celebrate TGIRYHF!

    Add to the list of things it never even occurred to me to want to do:
    – rake a hog

    Had no idea cassowary eggs are green.

    I thought Cassowaries were interesting after first seeing photos of their dinosaur-like feet. Now they’re just plain fascinating, with the flourescent green eggs and males assuming responsibility for incubating the eggs and raising the chicks.

    Pica’s story had me tearing up. Don’t know what year it happened, but I hope she had a long life in the jungle. That puppy live stream is dangerous! But so cute! Don’t you know I have work to do?? I could watch that all day. For those who can’t find the actual link to the livestream – https://areena.yle.fi/1-78104441. Nature amazes me everyday with how animals adapt to their surroundings; when you think about it – green eggs make perfect sense in a green rain forest. I’ve heard of hog calling but never hog raking; add it to my list of jobs to have when I retire.

    I kinda envy those hogs.

    The Cassowary story was in the NYT yesterday, and was kind of dark, emphasizing how many humans have been killed by them. This one is so much more uplifting. I didn’t realize the female was six feet tall! Of course I went down the rabbit hole on more articles yesterday. Turns out Cassowarys might have been the first birds domesticated, way before the chicken. Apparently, the chicks are docile and easy to manage. It’s not until they are adults that they become dangerous.

    Do you think that guy would scratch my back, too, if I asked?
