    Here is one of the channeled messages from Tyberonn: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...l=1#post677895

    Quote Posted by onawah (here)
    I think it was the geologist, sacred site tour guide and channeler James Tyberonn who reported that sometimes a human soul will temporarily incarnate as an animal in order to school humans in realizing how closely connected the animal kingdom is to human beings.

    In 1976, a bald chimpanzee with eerily human traits shocked the world. Nicknamed the “Humanzee,” Oliver walked on two legs, preferred human company, and defied scientific explanation. Was he a human-chimp hybrid? A missing link? Or something science had never seen before? Subscribe to Our World: https://bit.ly/3xnPuGL

    Humans and chimpanzees share an estimated 98 per cent of genetic material, having branched off from one another two and a half million years ago. Genetically it is very likely that humans and chimpanzees could produce offspring. This fascinating special has unique access to the most famous purported human-chimpanzee hybrid called Oliver. He is 41 years old, walks upright on two legs, has a pronounced nose, human-like teeth and is eerily, always rejected by other chimpanzees. But is he really a chimp-human hybrid? Drawing on archive footage and interviews this film explores the taboo of hybridisation and the ethics of such a Frankenstein-science.

    This film was first broadcast: 2003

    Helen - Blind Rescue Cow who Melts Every Time She Hears Her Favorite Song
    (4:20)
    Wonderful, heartwarming story of Helen, the blind cow who has now found love.
    "Helen spent 19 years in silence and shadow. Born blind, she never knew grass or the sky - until she found love, freedom, and the sound of wind chimes. This is the story of a cow who didn't need eyes to see joy. She just needed someone to show her that it was possible."
    "Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years?" John Taylor Gatto

    Squirrel glowing on the home fence
    Coming to eat some seeds and nuts

    Click image for larger version

Name:	sqirrel on ledger.jpg
Views:	44

ID:	55157

    A mother and two kids had a nest in a tree by the local road.
    Late winter the authorities cut down the tree, claiming it was
    a security risk. I dragged the top with the nest into the garden.
    The squirrels were gone but I kept it as a memory. After some
    time the siblings startet visiting and was seeking contact and even
    entering the house. I put out bowls of water and some food for them
    and they became regular guests during spring and summer. They
    grew bigger and stronger by the week and took away lot of nuts to
    hide and save for later. Their mother was busy building a new home
    deeper into the forest and gradualy they visited more seldom and
    were able to manage on their own. I stopped putting out food with
    a mixed feeling. Missing their beauty and company but enjoying the
    fact they had survived their struggle and continued life in the woods.
    -
    PS. Do not feed squirrels salted nuts or sweetened fruit.

    'Researchers studying Danionella cerebrum, a translucent, fingernail-sized fish from Myanmar, have confirmed that it produces extremely loud sounds relative to its size.

    The sound levels can reach up to 140 decibels, which is comparable to the noise level of a gunshot or jet engine at close range—and louder than an elephant's trumpet, which typically ranges from 85 to 117 decibels.

    This powerful sound is believed to be used in social communication or territorial displays, particularly among males.

    Scientists found that the fish uses specialized drumming muscles near its swim bladder to generate the noise, a mechanism unique among vertebrates of this size.

    These findings were published in 2023 and gained widespread attention due to the sheer sound-to-size ratio of this species, making Danionella cerebrum one of the loudest animals on Earth in proportion to its body.'

    Three magical penguins in what seems to have been a frenetic race across the glacier, going extraordinarily fast. Apparently this is a very rare thing to witness, and no-one knows why they do this.

    Squirrel glowing on the home fence
    Coming to eat some seeds and nuts

    Attachment 55157

    A mother and two kids had a nest in a tree by the local road.
    Late winter the authorities cut down the tree, claiming it was
    a security risk. I dragged the top with the nest into the garden.
    The squirrels were gone but I kept it as a memory. After some
    time the siblings startet visiting and was seeking contact and even
    entering the house. I put out bowls of water and some food for them
    and they became regular guests during spring and summer. They
    grew bigger and stronger by the week and took away lot of nuts to
    hide and save for later. Their mother was busy building a new home
    deeper into the forest and gradualy they visited more seldom and
    were able to manage on their own. I stopped putting out food with
    a mixed feeling. Missing their beauty and company but enjoying the
    fact they had survived their struggle and continued life in the woods.

    PS. Do not feed squirrels salted nuts or sweetened fruit.

    Indeed what a beautiful thread this is!
    And what a lonely place it would be here on earth without these magical angelic beings!
    Remember, it is said that in golden ages of humanity, there is practically no eating of animals! And much more: they are not afraid of people and we communicate telepathically, which some without doubt already do to some level.
    Just a short note for all you animal lovers.
    Wish all the best and keep up with this thread, it just probably is the most relaxing one on Avalon.

    'The woodpecker’s tongue is one of nature’s most astonishing adaptations. Far longer than its beak, the tongue extends back into the skull, wrapping around it—sometimes even looping over the top and around the eye socket. This isn't just to catch insects buried deep within tree bark; it's also a vital piece of shock-absorbing anatomy. As the bird slams its beak into wood at speeds of up to 20 times per second, the tongue’s unique path acts like a biological seatbelt, distributing impact forces and helping to protect the brain from trauma. This remarkable design, supported by a specialized structure called the hyoid apparatus, allows the woodpecker to perform its relentless pecking without suffering concussions—a feat no human could match unprotected.'
