The return of African Painted Dog with his group causes a particularly enthusiastic "greeting ceremony" as the pack members gather nose to nose licking, giving excited twitters, whimpers, buzzes & noisy gurgles in joyful reunion!

Delta IV was loved.

Giant Squid are buoyant because of their ammonium ion concentrations. “Without the ammonium ions, the squid are heavier than seawater… but w/them the animal can maintain its level in the water w/o having to expend energy by constant swimming.” (Roper & Boss 1982) #2024MMM
