How Wolves Change Rivers - By Adam East
In 1926, there were no longer wolves in Yellowstone, once the natural habitat of this species. Between 1977 and the re-introduction in 1995, we have reliable reports of wolves being seen throughout the park. Most of them were either lone wolves or pairs, probably only transiting.
Finally, in 1995, grey wolf packs were reintroduced in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park and Idaho. The effects were more striking than anyone could have expected. The entire ecosystem of the national park transformed and it went so far that even the rivers changed.
How could this have happened? Watch the clip and marvel at the amazing way in which nature works.

Apparently, some NJ bears are a lot more polite than others.

In response to: “Close the door sweetie.” That’s what one New Jersey woman told a bear seen on video obediently complying and showing off good manners at her front doorstep.
“Bears are damn smart! This bear learned how to close the front door to my house,” Vernon homeowner Susan Kehoe wrote in her video’s description shared to YouTube, where she has over 1,500 subscribers.
In the minute-long encounter, Kehoe filmed herself communicating on Monday, Nov. 22, with the unlikely visitor — which she called “Mr. Bear” — at her home, CBS New York reported.
Initially, she opens the door asking “is it raining?” and tilts her camera, revealing the large furry mammal standing outside.
“Will you please close my door?” she is heard asking. “Close the door Mr. bear.”
Eventually, the bear steps inside on her wooden floor and grabs the front doorknob with its mouth, the video shows.
As the door creaks, the bear almost pulls it to a close but stops.
“You have to finish closing it sweetie, the cold air is coming in,” Kehoe said.
Then, the bear again grabs the door handle with its mouth and obediently shuts Kehoe’s door.
Kehoe is a wildlife advocate and environmentalist, specializing in black bear education since January 1999, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In her profile’s description, she also said she is a photographer who takes photos of black bears.
“Throughout all these years, I was amazed at the gentle disposition of the North American Black Bear,” she wrote.
On her YouTube channel, she has uploaded dozens of videos of black bears, including one of a mother bear swinging in a hammock.
McClatchy News reached out to Kehoe for comment and is awaiting response.
“As with all wildlife, respect their ‘space,’” Kehoe wrote on LinkedIn

Men and women.....and dogs and cats.....
I've noticed a preference. Men for large dogs in general. Women for yappy little fufu dogs, and the ever delightful cat.
Rediscovery
It gives me great pleasure to announce the rediscovery of an animal believed to have been extinct for nearly a century and a half. Nonetheless, unconfirmed rumour in the 1930s was to the effect that a small population of the Cape Desert Warthog (Phacochoerus aethiopicus aethiopicus) might have survived. On strength of the old rumour a recent capture expedition was organized, but failed to locate the animal mentioned
Time delay cameras were left however, and a single photograph now displays the forgotten and unknown beast in full colour. The type still exists, thankfully. With locality in the Kalahari Desert now better defined, renewed efforts for captive breeding and eventual rehabilitation of the badly diminished population are being planned afresh

Somber
A few days ago, one of my younger cats got ran over and killed. Today I finally got around to burying her and it was fking hard. Been depressed ever since 
online today!
Most grounded/honest women get it, but all real men do.
So, my neighbor asks me to come along with her, for winter to summer tire change. It's a Maine climate, and woman with knuckle dragging mechanic sort of thing. Now, this lady, also Mom of our twins, for whom I bought the home next door when we split up, (how's that for scummy virtue signalling?), began her nursing career as a diploma RN. Three years of intensive work/training, no academic degree, but life in the student dorm connected to the horsepital, where you could be called in at any time to help out and learn. No more such programs, all now lead to parchment, and almost no practical knowledge. But these ladies (no men) all taught us how really to get to know and to care for patients. First try emergent IV access, when even the surgeons can't get in. Nuff said.
So after years as a triage RN in casualty, she completes training as a nurse practitioner. Point is, she's tough, and tolerates fools like me, but few others. We could never be an item again, but are pals, and loving coparents. Mutual support, based on life skills, is the message
So why would she feel she need's me along for something as 'routine' as a tire rotation? During the act, I'm out sniffing with Bravo. He the grass, me the dames. She calls us back in to the garage. Seems like the tech suggests the need for addition of a 50 USD rim part, which corrosion made necessary. Car with close to 300K Km. Silly issue. Mean Tire Pressure Sensor valve--oh yeah, it's too hard to just look at the tire to see if air is needed. New cars. I inspect the part, and the rim, and agree. But I digress.
So, they finish the job, and on driving away, super nursie notices an idiot light on, signaling a faulty MTPS valve. The same rim onto which the aftermarket part was installed. She proudly returns into the fray, telling me that she can handle it without us. But they try to shuck 'n jive her, Obama/Biden style, claiming these things "always tend to work themselves out by just a little driving". They can, but rarely do. She tries to differ, but finally gets me for backup. Bravo and I enter (do 50+ Kg ears back GSD's ever help in such things?), and I sense the dynamic. Three gruff men onto one pretty petite girl. So I lecture these three grease monkey unshaven arseholes about the differences betweem OEM and aftermarket replacement parts, how removing the rim and tire, and repositioning the valve stem, then resetting the idiot light with the port connecterd computed monitor---usually works. And I threaten to call the manager. And corporate. They all back down, do as I suggest, and problem solved.
Any ladies ever been there? Any real men out there? Did I just make all this up?

Back from leaf raking on all 4,000 hectares...
...Not bad for completing the job in only 2 hours. And now watching the Austin, Texas Grand Prix, where that girly sissy Hamilton and his rust bucket Mercedes is in the lead, AGAIN! But on to more important things. While checking my wash in the spacious basement of the Vierk mansion number 6, I notice a cricket on the wall. Mid sized---3 cm. I check my books from the masters training in medical entomology, and confirm that my little friend is of the order Orthoptera, family Gryllidae. But nowhere can I get help on what to do with him/her. as soon the Maine winter will be upon us, and I'm covering the boat with a tarp today. Being on the ocean, the season is much milder than many would think. But still, oh ye CS Menschen, winter is winter. So, do I gently place this bug outside, hoping that somehow it will aid his/her species survival. Or leave her/him to face fate with all those fearsome spiders in the cellar. Who has the answer?

The Only Thing Our Pets Do Wrong
Is that they don't live as long as we do. My pets is my life.
