  1. Tonight's swirly animal is an emu! I'll never get over just how tiny their heads are compared to their bodies.

  2. One of the few (maybe only?) nice things about a windy day is watching the ravens play. I love their acrobatics, dangly legs, and effortless liftoffs.

  3. Jake is a staunch supporter of science, the arts, and education. He is always by my side, on the couch, in the evenings, keeping me motivated and productive.

  4. Holy wow, I can't believe I've broken 1,000 followers! Welcome everyone, and thank you for appreciating my ideas <3 Buckle up for primarily animal and science content!

  5. Tonight's swirly animal is a Utahraptor.

  6. I can't wait! BNA is such an incredible resource, having world access is going to be AMAZING!

  7. Yes, I mostly work with and observe wild animals. Behavioral Ecology is looking at the evolution of animal behavior in context of ecological pressures. You can do experiments with BE, but the experimental design is derived from observing the animals in ecological context.

  8. I appear to have gained a whole lot of awesome new followers today. Hi everyone! Glad you liked my discussion on the coyote and badger cooperation :) I love talking animals and behavior! Have another cute canid that I live with, meet Jake.

    What's missing: Max Weasel (with a photo of a wolverine, of course) 😜

  14. And here, in 12 seconds of a coyote and badger heading through a culvert together, a broad audience can see and consider what I and many in my scientific generation see: a thinking, complex, dynamic nature that demands our respect and mindfulness as we move through this world <3

  15. In all my years studying wild animals (with many more to come), I've seen this complexity, intelligence, and decision-making. I've argued for it. I've battled with some "old-school" scientists and the general public arguing against it.

  16. In this video I see how complex and flexible nature is. How complex and flexible these two animals are. How these aren't two animal-robots reacting solely to stimuli. How the body language and ease between them suggests that they know each other as /individuals/.

  17. The complexity and variation DOES fit the incredibly elegant Theory of Evolution, which is SO elegant that it accounts for all the "rule breakers" in nature without the theory breaking down itself (thank you Darwin and Wallace, you did science a real solid there).

  18. Back to coyotes and badgers cooperatively hunting... Their seemingly loose, yet highly beneficial hunting association shows the importance of understanding that nature is /flexible/ and that flexibility introduces an incredibly amount of complexity and variation.

  19. (And don't get me started on wildlife management agencies not taking into account behavioral ecology and the social/cultural lives of the animals they regulate purely as numbers. We have a ways to go yet.)

  20. (I've literally had yelling matches with some anthropologists about the cognitive and cultural capabilities of non-human animals, where they absolutely refused to see these as anything but instinct in non-humans.)
