birds were invented by sticking a bunch of weapons and feathers on a ball of pure hubris and bringing it to life by the power of spite and fight alone, they are completely lacking in the ability to regret bad decisions like the ones about to be made above
I like how the second heron is just hovering in the back like GREG. GREG, NO. LETS JUST GO HOME, COME ON
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?
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.
