Came here for the Monty Python comments and was happily not disappointed.

Is that an African or European octopus?

African or European ?

haha that octopus straight up juked that shark in the second to last clip.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Give them a couple years and they'll be on a quest for the Holy Grail.

Reminds of this mind blowing shot of an octopus using seashells to build an armor from BBC Blue Planet II https://youtube.com/watch?v=5S0ghAgzCic

Did they start receiving beckoning missives from a West European capital?

Anyone else watch the medieval history YouTube channel about kids today existed throughout similar historical eras and nothing is new? It's always this

All fun and games until someone spears them in boat defense.

Oh this might be my fault. I came across a sad and abandoned orca years ago and introduced them to the Clash.

I updated the post with much better sources

Thanks, I updated the post to the quality sources you gave

Noo no no, that's the darling Marian's specialty, IIRC.

Excessive bold formatting. Short sentences. One-line paragraphs.

This isn't just AI.

This is the most blatant LLM slop I have seen—ever.

Excessive bold formatting

Stop trying to turn me into a furry.

Oh boy, I hate it when people say “this was written by AI.” But…

The foxes in question, if that helps.

Edit: Okay, this must be an LLM slop farm. That report is from February 2019. The abstract was posted to UCSB's website February 2022.

Here's the report.

The formatting of the EcoPortal article was giving me a migraine. This new trend of bolding everything is obscene.

Keep in mind:

This project was funded by BHE Renewables (formerly MidAmerican Solar). We thank Wendy Greene of BHE Renewables for all of her support and project administration throughout the study. We also thank Gary Hood and Alicia Knapp of BHE Renewables for their support and assistance. We also thank numerous BHE Renewables and First Solar staff at the Topaz Solar Farms for their support and assistance during the course of the study. [...] Finally, we thank Wendy Greene [of BHE] and Kevin Dodson for reviewing the draft report.

Take it with the same grain of salt you'd take a report funded and directly administrated by the industry its results are positive about.

In a study published in March in Ecology, scientists detailed these findings, which they say are the first-ever observations of a carnivore soaking its dead prey in water.

I don't understand this statement. House cats are famous for dumping prey animals and toys in their water dishes. There are also videos of tigers bringing kills to water, and searches indicated I might find other large cats doing the same if I put in the effort.

Iberian raccoons?
