    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        So water lillies are nature’s version of right wing populist coups. Terrifying.

        Education is extremely important.

                  @George-K

                  I wasn’t aware of that behaviour in zebras. I wonder if it is common to zebras or occurs in other wild equine species?

                    Yeah, I was shocked. Storks are known to pitch the weakest hatchling out of the nest, but zebras?

                      I know alpha male lions will kill the cubs of another male as will bears. But I have never heard of it among migratory grazing herd animals such as elk, cariboo or bison. But then…zebras live in Africa where the rules seem to be different for everything.

                                  @Axtremus Interesting that the hand sanitizer immediately made the snake "regurgitate" himself. I thought maybe the curve of his teeth or something was preventing that.
