I thought of putting this in news or up at the ranch, but this seems a better place. Maybe this whale behavior represents the start of a larger pattern against humans. Killer whales are attacking sailboats off the coast of Europe. The man speaking in the video said they were taking bites out of his rudder. He also said it's their ocean and we're the guests.

Ester Kristine Storkson was asleep on her father's small yacht earlier this month, sailing off the coast of France, when she was violently awakened.

Scrambling on deck, she spotted several orcas, or killer whales, surrounding them. The steering wheel swung wildly. At one point, the 37-foot sailboat was pushed through 180 degrees, heading it in the opposite direction.

They were "ramming the boat," Storkson says. "They [hit] us repeatedly ... giving us the impression that it was a coordinated attack."

"I told my dad, 'I'm not thinking clearly, so you need to think for me,'" the 27-year-old Norwegian medical student says. "Thankfully, he is a very calm and centered person, and made me feel safe by gently talking about the situation."

Here’s my magical animal for today, the Dumbo-eared terror of ancient seas. They didn’t get big by being nice.

Cambrian invertebrate diversity is wide-ranging and well noted, and further discoveries and descriptions continue to reveal more unusual animals across the world. One of these animals, recently described is Balhuticaris voltae, described just this year, which is one of the largest animals known both from its group, location, and time period, and is also highly unusual in appearance. I hope you enjoy.”

So sad - reminds me of the tale of Greyfriars Bobby, only more tragic. Sure hope they found each other again in another "place".

'A man d.i.e.d leaving his dog behind...
his son looked for the dog but couldn't find him.
The dog is missing...
A few days later, the cemetery administration informs the son that a dog is digging a hole on his father's grave! The son went to the cemetery and there saw his father dog next to his grave and took him home,
Two days later the dog ran away again and so it was several weeks before the son had to leave the dog in his grave. He came every day to bring him food and water, the dog refused to eat and would not let anyone near the grave. The dog lived another week before d.y.i.n.g on its owner's grave...
I wonder what kind of person is capable of loving as unconditionally as this dog!'

This was so wonderfully funny I had to watch it again. No question elephants are magical and possessed of a fine sense of humor.

I love to watch this over and over

Continuing with the Dumbo theme ...



In 2021, researchers reported the discovery of a brand new species of Dumbo octopus (Grimpteuthis imperator), nicknamed "Emperor Dumbo".



New footage showing a giant, peculiar-looking tentacled sea creature floating languidly in the depths of the Pacific Ocean has left researchers questioning if what they’re seeing is a new species. This team of scientists spotted the strange animal while on board the E/V Nautilus, a research vessel used by the Ocean Exploration Trust — a nonprofit organization conducting deep-sea research.
