Huntsman wins battle with gecko

Geckos are tough little bastards, but he lost this battle. Heard a commotion on the back deck (the cat was involved too). Those planks are 4 inches wide. Reminds me of the Alien facehugger. Let him enjoy his snack for an hour or so, before picking him up (being careful not to detach him from...

I think I've told y'all this before. Mrs. H took an extended trip to Australia to go birding ca. 2010. She had a great time -- but not without a few scary moments. One involved a run-in with leeches in a field they traversed. Lots of leeches.
The other one was a close encounter with a cassowary. Fortunately, a female cassowary.

oh. Humor.
yeah.
Just stumbled upon this on eBAY...

Just because one can do something doesn't mean that one should do something...

…

I do not post naked videos from midnight, but she still laughs about it.
Plus she was (wo)maning the front door. Or is it theming the front door?

The bastards are nocturnal, so it is usually when headed to bed that one sees them looking for some version of a takeaway meal.
And they can go upside down on the ceiling from wall to wall in a few seconds.

A 3 foot, or car sized one, would be a bit frightful for most people.

That might get your heartrate up...

Yeah, they jump and kick. The males guard the eggs and are quite defensive about it. Possibly because the females are out laying eggs in other males' nests.

I read this news story a few years back, and it stuck in my mind because the cassowary is unfortunately rare in Australia, so I was surprised there are breeders in the U.S.

By luck I spotted two about a month ago, but as I was driving I couldn’t stop to get a photo of them. They are very impressive birds in the wild.

A friend of mine had an emu farm closeby. Mainly for the oil, meat and some feathers. He wasn't worried in the slightest about emus, spear tackling them to get them in the yards if necessary. We've got them in the wild also around us. They leave you alone [unless you start feeding them which is a bad idea] and make this low 'whoomph' chest sound. They are a beautiful animal maybe up to 2 meters tall. And, even though their brains are physically about the size of a walnut, they are *far* smarter than a typical 20th century army. Please enjoy, and yes, I'm not kidding. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlife/2016/10/on-this-day-the-emu-wars-begin/
