  • I found this particularly funny. It wasn’t like a funny accidental thing. Dude was trying to mate with the bird.

    In September 2004, Walnut arrived at NZCBI’s Virginia campus, where scientists regularly breed cranes that have behavioral or physical limitations by using assisted reproduction techniques, including artificial insemination. By observing and mimicking how NZCBI’s male white-naped cranes interacted with their mates during breeding season, bird keeper Chris Crowe gained Walnut’s elusive trust. He pair-bonded with her by flapping his arms in a manner similar to the species’ unison dance, offered her nesting materials and brought her food. Once she was receptive to breeding, Crowe was able to use sperm collected from a male crane to artificially inseminate Walnut without the need for physical restraint

    They had 8 chicks together.

    I was curious so I removed all the text of this image and asked ChatGPT 4o to tell me as much about the image as it could.

    The image depicts a man giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a small animal, likely a dog. This is a procedure used to provide emergency breathing support to animals that are not breathing on their own. The man is holding the dog’s mouth open and blowing air into its lungs. Another person is supporting the dog’s body. This technique is part of animal first aid and can be critical in life-saving situations.

    The wounded man was evacuated to Chile with a knife injury to the chest.

    His heart was injured in the attack and he was admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital but his life is understood not to be in danger.

    Reports say the altercation was fueled by alcohol.

    Fueled by alcohol. Ya don’t say.
