Tasty nut hidden under the stones: can the crow get at it? Crows are pretty smart, and this one’s very determined, too.
That odd sound you hear at the end of the video is the crow’s victory song.

Cats vs. Wild Animals
I’d rather my cats didn’t mess with wildlife. Yes, it’s funny when a cat chases a bear–who is obviously convinced the cat is crazy. But facing down a cobra or an alligator… those stakes would be a bit too high for me. Talk about self-confidence!
You Lazy Wolves
If one wolf howls, all the other wolves who hear it will howl, too. If you listen to this video carefully, you’ll hear wolves howling some distance away. But gee, guys–would it put you out so much, just to stand up when you howl?
Two Dogs and a Kitten
There’s quite a story in this video. It makes me wonder about animals’ souls… and how they interact with each other’s… and with ours.
How our Creator ever thought of even half the things that He created, beats me.
The Millepede Inspector Goes Native (‘Oy, Rodney’)
In case you have ever wondered how there came to be a district in Portugal inhabited by Picts and devoted to millipede husbandry… well, I guess now you know.
Having forgotten his own name, the Royal Millipede Inspector, after his mostly accidental abduction by the Picts, has married the daughter of the Pictish chief and taken on a Pictish name: Jackie Fernandez.
“You wouldn’t believe the flak I’ve gotten over this name!” Violet Crepuscular, “The Queen of Suspense,” confides in her numberless legion of readers. “This is Chapter DCCVIII of my immortal romance masterpiece, Oy, Rodney–and suddenly I don’t know how to name a character??? Sheesh! If they all know how to write so good, why ain’t they doing it–eh?!”
(From Clint Eastwood’s A Fistful of Millipedes)
“Now another self-proclaimed Expert out there tells me these are not millipedes but mealworms! O wretched woman that I am!” crinculates Ms. Crepuscular. We cannot but agree. “You would think a Royal Millipede Inspector would know millipedes from mealworms. If not by sight, then by taste.”
We are not anxious to follow her into this particular byway in the plot.
An Amazing Chicken
Ignore the noozies: here’s a chicken who likes to come into the human house to lay her eggs. On the couch, in the bed, whatever. And I’d better watch out or I won’t be able to eat chicken anymore.

Are They the Bird’s Pets?
Is this a crow or a raven? I can’t tell the difference. But whatever he is, he’s feeding a dog and a cat. Strong parental instinct? Or just a powerful desire for face time on YouTube?

You Can’t Keep ‘Em In
I thought my box turtles were escape artists, but some of the critters in this video put them in the shade. How do they squeeze through openings that are obviously too small for them? Inquiring minds want to know!
