This is really interesting. The hawk is clearly targeting the pictures of the rabbits, not just the paper. Could it be that they can’t clearly tell the difference between 2D images and 3D objects?
Photo of the Day – The minute Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is not only spectacularly pretty, but also insanely small! In fact, it is the smallest bird in the world. As its name suggests, it is barely larger than a bee. Seeing one in the flesh is quite an experience… but you may need some binoculars to really see it properly!
This amazing photo was taken by Dušan Brinkhuizen.
Today was a long day, but it was made better by watching Shiloh, a educational ambassador Red-tailed Hawk, try his gosh-darn hardest to choke down a huuuge piece of rabbit fur! He looks like he grew a big, bushy beard! He managed to swallow the piece, but it looked really uncomfortable….
Zookeeper: Please don’t try to eat all of that… please Animal: I WILL SHOVE THE LARGEST PIECE I CAN FIND IN MY MOUTH. WATCH ME.
Fish will do this, too. Certain species who eat entirely by engulfing small prey will eat so much that they can’t even move right for how much their stomach bulges.
