Look at this fantastic pounce by a snow leopard! We often get videos of athleticism in domestic cats, rarely for bigger ones. You can see how that huge tail helps counterbalance the leap in mid-air. This is a great example of enrichment that encourages natural behavior, too.
I was working with a seagull and I said âas someone in Wildlife I know I should never anthropomorphize animals or hold them to any human moral standard, but seagulls are capable of and regularly knowingly commit evilâ and the vet tech with me said âno yeah thatâs true.â
so, i only went in to get the shiny silvally code. shouldâve taken like a minute or two at most but i was in there for upwards of ten. it was deeply unsettling right off the bat when i walked in because it was quiet. like really quiet. the tv that plays the gaming news and the speaker that plays the ads werenât running. the cashier says hello and i get in line to wait. it is dead silent. nobody in the store is making any noise except for the cashier, who is typing. sheâs helping a little boy sell 12 PS4 games. the boys mom is walking back and forth behind him sipping her gas station brand cup of coffee. literally just walking back and forth from one end of the store to the other. all the while the entire store is silent, the kid is silent, the mom is silent⌠all 5 of the other full grown adults in this store are silent. and iâm the only one in line behind this kid, these other adults throughout the store are like standing in one space just staring and being quiet. they werenât browsing, they werenât talking. nobody was making any noise. i wasnât making any noise. i was standing there thinking about how eerily silent it was in this gamestop and wondering what the hell was going on – hyper aware of every move i made because i didnât want to make a noise and break the silence. this carried on for literally 10 minutes before another cashier came in through the front door and loudly exclaimed âi canât leave you alone for five minutes.â he called me to the counter and asked me what i needed help with. it was like immediately the ambient noises of gamestop all returned at once and i stepped forward to get my code.
my favorite part of this is the implication that not only was the first cashier somehow responsible for the eerie silence to begin with but also that this has certainly happened before
