    Moose are interesting. My grandfather told me that they can be dangerous to encounter in the woods, though I forget if he meant only sometimes, like in their rutting/mating season.

    He also said they have dense bones, enough to dull a chainsaw when (if, so) cut up for quick transport out, and enough to derail a train (after having died while charging it head-on).

    "A family lives in Norway, to which an unusual guest comes every morning. The handsome deer comes to the window of the house and patiently waits for people to wake up. Such an attachment of a wild animal arose for a reason. Once this family saved his life. "


    (I had a special affinity for deer when I was a child. We lived for a couple of years in a house just outside of Washington DC that was the home of Margaret Rawlings, famous author of "The Yearling", about a boy and his love for a wild deer.
    And at some point I remember clearly visiting a petting zoo where there was a fawn which I fell in love with.
    So Deer Medicine has been a part of my healing journey and this video touched my heart.)

    Woodpeckers went nuts, stashing 700 pounds of acorns in the wall of a California home
    February 08, 2023
    https://www.wbur.org/npr/1155458695/...edium=referral

    "Exterminator Nick Castro discovered 700 pounds of acorns hidden in the wall of a customer's home that had been stashed there by woodpeckers.
    A California exterminator got more than he bargained for when he looked inside the wall of a customer's home recently — 700 pounds more.

    Nick Castro, who owns Nick's Extreme Pest Control in Santa Rosa, posted photos on the company's Facebook page showing thousands of acorns pouring out of a hole in the wall and covering the floor of a room.

    In a video shared on social media, Castro repeatedly scoops out handfuls of the nuts while expressing awe at the size of the stockpile.
    https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaBFdfp...MDM4ZDc5MmU%3D

    "Bird was a bit of a hoarder," Castro joked on social media, saying he'd never seen such a stash before.

    The acorns filled up eight garbage bags and weighed a total of 700 pounds, he said.

    Castro told The Press Democrat that he was inspecting a customer's home for mealworms in December when he found the acorn cache, which he estimates was towering 20-25 feet high in the home's chimney.

    He suggested that a pair of acorn woodpeckers had been building the stockpile for at least two to three years.

    "The more acorns I pulled out from the wall, the more there were. It felt like it wasn't going to end," Castro told the newspaper.

    The sizable acorn collection caught the attention of people on social media, with some saying they felt for the birds who lost their hoard. "Kinda just feel bad for those hard working birds," one Instagram user wrote. Another quipped, "Omg these woodpeckers are more prepared for retirement than I am."

    Castro told the Press Democrat that the acorns had been covered by fiberglass and rat droppings and were discarded.

    Noted for their clownish faces, acorn woodpeckers are found in the Western and Southwestern U.S. and store acorns in holes they've poked in dead trees."

    Ostrich
    The ostrich was formerly called “camel bird” because of the likeness to camels. The ostrich is swift and has often been compared to cheetahs based on how fast they move.
    Momma, Papa and Babies


    During their Breeding Season, Ostriches Produce an Egg Every Two Days

    The breeding season for ostriches often stretches between March and September. During this time, female ostriches produce one egg every two days. After completion, a single nest may hold up to 60 eggs which both the male and female ostrich may incubate.

    Ostriches are the Only Flightless Birds That Have Two Toes

    All flying birds have four toes on each foot, whereas flightless species have only three toes on each foot. The ostrich, however, is the only bird that has two toes on each foot. These toes are the size of hooves and protrude from the bottom of their feet, and this helps them keep their balance.
    The Male Ostrich Will Perform a Dance to Attract Females

    The feathers of a male ostrich are used to entice a female ostrich, also known as a hen. Ostrich males perform courtship dances, wing flaps, and wing bows to entice females. In ostriches, the male’s neck glows red when he is ready to mate with his mate, while the female’s feathers become silvery. During the breeding season, male birds’ beak and shin colors turn crimson.
    Ostriches Can Survive Long Periods Without Water

    Ostriches get almost all their sustenance from plants; however, they will drink from a watering hole when dehydrated. They can increase their body warmth to avoid water loss on hot days. Ostriches eat roots, fruits, leaves, and seeds, but also lizards, rodents, and insects. Plants offer enough moisture for them to endure two weeks without additional water.
    Ostriches Bury Their Eggs, Not Their Heads

    “Burying your head in the sand” is an idiom that means to avoid an issue or ignore advice. This expression may have come from ostriches hiding their heads from predators. However, contrary to widespread belief, ostriches don’t bury their heads in actual sand. It’s thought that this belief began after observing ostrich nesting, in which they bury their eggs in holes in the ground.
    Ostriches Make Various Sounds

    Ostriches honk, hiss, chirp, whistle, drum, grunt, and boom. Male ostriches create booming sounds when mating, but hissing means staying away. Male ostriches generate a low, deep boom. They keep their beaks shut while stretching their neck. During mating, males “boom” to indicate territory. While opening their beaks, female ostriches hiss.
    The Ostrich Egg is the World’s Largest Egg

    The mother ostrich needs assistance cracking the eggshell to hatch her eggs. The normal ostrich egg weighs 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) and measures 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). It is the world’s largest egg. The shell is so strong that it would not be damaged even if stepped upon by accident.
    An Ostrich has Three Stomachs

    The three stomachs are used for various functions as the glandular stomach serves as the gall bladder, and the muscular stomach grinds food before it enters its vast digestive tracts. The pee and feces of ostriches are separated in the 3rd stomach.

    Eels
    "Freshwater eels only engage in reproduction once because they die after spawning. Female eels lay sticky eggs near or on the ocean floor. The Japanese eel lays between 2-10 million eggs, while the American eel lays up to 4 million eggs."
    Freshwater Eels Diet
    Freshwater eels eat a variety of other river and sea creatures. Their prey are Shrimp, crabs, lobsters, octopus, worms, frogs, mussels, clams, oysters, snails, sea slugs, lizards and other small fish.
    European eels like hide among rocks and burrow in mud.

    Reproduction and Lifespan
    Freshwater eels only engage in reproduction once, because they die after spawning. The European eel can spawn at 7 years of age, while the American eel matures at 10-25 years. The Japanese eel is thought to synchronize its breeding cycle in the spawning season with the new moon.

    Female eels lay sticky eggs near or on the ocean floor. The Japanese eel lays between 2-10 million eggs, while the American eel lays up to 4 million eggs. All anguillid eels start their life cycle as eggs in the ocean. They hatch as traluscent, leaf-like larvae, and enter a larval stage called leptocephali.

    These young eel larvae live only in the ocean and eat marine snow, which is made up of small detritus from the upper layers of the water column. Most eel parents do not care for their young. Ocean currents dispers both eggs and larvae and sometimes move them thousands of miles.

    The next life cycle stage is when the larvae grow larger. At this point, they are called glass eels. They move to freshwater areas and develop color, going through the yellow, elver, and silver eel stages, most of which refer to the color of their underbellies. Elver eels travel upstream to freshwater rivers, where they go through the silver eel stage and become adults, migrating to the ocean to spawn.

    Top 9 Largest Eagles in the World
    There are over 60 eagle species in the world, with most living in Asia and Africa. Some eagles living in forests have small wingspans while those living in the open country have large wingspans.
    #1. Martial Eagle – 8.5-foot Wingspan

    The martial eagle lives in sub-Saharan Africa. Not only does it have an 8.5-foot wingspan, but it is also one of the most powerful birds in the world. This 14-pound bird can knock a grown man off his feet, and it is the biggest eagle alive today.
    The local name of Martial eagles in South Africa is lammervanger (or “lamb catcher”).


    #2. Stellar’s Sea Eagle – 8.3-foot Wingspan

    This vulnerable bird only breeds along the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea in Far East Russia. They prefer to live in areas where salmon runs are massive when in their summer homes in Japan and South Korea.
    Steller’s sea eagle is one of the largest raptors overall.


    #3. American Bald Eagle – 8.2-foot Wingspan

    The white head and brown body weighing about 17 pounds make the American bald eagle one of the most recognized birds in the world. This is especially true in America, where it is the national bird. It is hard to miss this bird soaring through the air because of its 8.2-foot wingspan. They can fly up to 100mph.

    While they may hunt when necessary, they are a scavenger, who prefers to dine on roadkill and meat killed by others. Other birds often scatter when one is present because of this eagle’s size.
    In spite of being a skilled hunter, the bald eagle prefers food procured by other predators.


    #4. White-tailed Eagle: 7.8-foot Wingspan

    The White-tailed eagle has a wingspan of about 7.9 feet and weighs about approximately 11 pounds. This is the biggest European eagle, and you can see it in most of Europe, Russia, and Northern Japan. Once considered endangered, this bird has made a remarkable comeback. While this eagle is primarily an opportunity feeder and does not mind stealing food from other birds, it prefers to dine on fish.
    White-tailed eagles are considered to be close relatives of bald eagles
    and occupy the same ecological niche in Eurasia.


    #5. Golden Eagle – 7.5-foot Wingspan

    Weighing in at about 14 pounds, the golden eagle is the largest hunting bird in North America. Its territory is not restricted to that country. It is the national bird of Mexico. This eagle has a 7.5-foot wingspan. It is also one of the strongest birds as it can swoop live coyotes off their feet. This eagle typically returns to its same nest each year.
    Golden eagles may inhabit the same nest for years, or alternate between different nests.


    #6. Wedge-tailed Eagle – 7.5-foot wingspan

    This hawk has several different names, including wedge-tailed, Bunjil, and Eaglehawk. People will not call it small as it has a 7.5-foot wingspan and weighs about 12 pounds. It is the biggest bird of prey in Australia.

    This eagle is born featherless and pale pink. Throughout the first 10 years of its life, it becomes progressively blacker. This Australian eagle has a vast territory, but it prefers open ranges and forested habitats.
    Wedge-tailed eagles are highly aerial and soar for hours on end.
    Here a juvenile Wedge Tail Eagle is riding thermal currents.


    #7. Verreaux’s Eagle – 7.7 foot wingspan

    This eagle, weighing about 9 pounds, is a fantastic sight as it soars above the hills and mountain ranges in Southern and Eastern Africa. Its 7.7-foot wingspan makes it easy to spot. Its diet consists almost exclusively of rock hyraxes. This eagle lives almost exclusively in dry, rocky environments called kopjes.

    These eagles are unusual in that the male eagle often brings food to the female before she lays her egg. Then, he brings almost all of the food while she incubates the egg. Despite his food gathering, the male sits on the eggs about 50% of the day, but females usually do all the incubating at night.
    Verreaux’s eagle, with a wingspan of up to 7.7 feet, is fantastic to behold soaring in its natural habitat.


    #8. Harpy Eagle – 6.5-foot Wingspan

    The Harpy Eagle is the national bird of Panama. While you can see harpy eagles from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, the largest population is in the Darien, Panama, region. With a 6.5-foot wingspan and weighing about 11 pounds, this eagle is one of the most powerful birds in the world. (The biggest harpy eagles can reach lengths of 3.5 feet, with wingspans of under 8 feet.)

    The colossal wingspan is unusual for a bird living in lowland forests throughout Central and South America. It uses its tail as a rudder as it navigates through the woods.
    Harpy eagles are the largest eagle in the Americas, with a wingspan
    of up to 6 1/2 ft wide, and are the most powerful raptors in the Amazon.


    #9. Philippine Eagle – 6.5-foot Wingspan

    The Philippine eagle has a 6.5-foot wingspan. This endangered eagle that weighs approximately 17.5 pounds is also called the monkey eagle. Philippine eagles, which are the national bird of the Philippines, dine on a diet of monkeys, bats, civets, flying squirrels, other birds, snakes, and lizards. Most of these eagles live in Mindanao.
    The Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) is one of the most endangered
    bird species in the world. It is believed that less than 500 pairs survive in the wild.

    Great Potoo

    5 Great Potoo Bird Facts
    1. Male and female great potoos look so similar that ornithologists have difficulty telling them apart.
    2. Great potoos are extremely shy and skittish, spending most of their lives in tall trees.
    3. These birds use camouflage to escape predators by thoroughly blending with their environment.
    4. Great potoos catch their prey mid-air, using their large mouths as traps.
    5. They can see with their eyes closed! Notches on their upper eyelids allow them to sense movement when their eyes are shut.
    Double Camouflage


    Size, Appearance, and Behavior

    The great potoo bird has a large head, giant, round eyes, elliptical-shaped wings, large, gaping mouths, and an elongated tail. They weigh between 13 and 23 ounces and grow from 19 to 24 inches with a 28-inch wingspan. Their coloring varies between white, gray, black, and burgundy with white lateral tail bars. Their feathers blend with their habitats, often making them difficult to spot. 

    Great potoos form monogamous pairs and may mate for life. However, little is known about their courting and breeding behaviors, mainly due to their closeness in appearance (lack of dimorphism). These birds are not social and only come together for breeding. But they are not aggressive towards others of their kind and may even alert one another to dangers. Researchers have also witnessed them working in groups to deter predators. Due to their lack of territorial behavior, their solitary nature is more of a preference than a necessity.
    Feeding a Potoo


    What Does the Great Potoo Bird Eat?

    They are carnivores and eat large flying insects, such as beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids. They also occasionally indulge in bats and birds. Using the same hunting perch, the great potoo utilizes its coloring and cloak of darkness to remain invisible to prey. It easily darts out from its perch, grabs it with its gaping mouth, and returns to its preferred eating spot.

    'Birds called "turtle dove" live as a couple until death, that is, they are monogamous because the bond of their union is such that when one of them leaves, his partner is plunged into a very intense emotional loss, which sometimes leads to deep sadness and to let himself die without further ado.
    This sad image was captured by James Yule and represents the mourning and intense pain that these birds live for the loss of their vital company.'

    Can't remember the title of the antonym to this thread - something about animals that are not so "magical" - well, it is one of nature's creatures so this is an ok place for it. Can only imagine the shock of mistakenly leaning against or holding onto this branch:
