The serval's coat color is pale yellow, marked with black spots on sides, back, neck, and shoulders. They have long, slim legs, an elongated neck, and large ears which are all attributes that make it well suited for hunting in tall grass. Servals have better hearing than the other small cats , used to pinpoint prey items. Instead of trying to locate their prey using sight, the servals locate prey in the tall grass or reeds primarily by hearing. To kill their prey, servals use a high leap to strike their prey, preventing its escape. A single pounce may be 3-12 feet long and up to 3 feet high. They will also jump 10 ft vertically to catch birds or insects by clapping forepaws together. They are largely crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) or nocturnal. Males and females have separate home ranges, with males generally overlapping two or more females.
The Whirligig Beetles are wary and fast with an organ to detect the ripples. The Arachnid Moths lay their eggs inside other insects along the borders of fields or roads in clusters of white cocoons. The Ribbed Pine Borer is a longhorn beetle, their antenna's are half the length of their body and they feed on dead red pine. Robber Flies, with their immobile heads, inject a paralyzing fluid into their prey that they snatch from life in mid-air. The Snow Flea's mode of locomotion, strange and odd, with a spiny tail mechanism with hooks and a protracted tube from the abdomen to enable moisture absorption.The female Praying Mantis devours the male while they are mating. The male sometimes continues copulating even after the female has bitten off his head and part of his upper torso. Every night wasps bite into the stem of a plant, lock their mandibles into position, stretch out at right angles to the stem and, with legs dangling, they fall asleep.If one places a minute amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. The Bombardier Beetle, when disturbed, defends itself by emitting a series of explosions, sometimes setting off 4 or 5 reports in succession. The noises sound like miniature popgun blasts and are accompanied by a cloud of reddish coloured vile smelling fluid. It is commonly known that ants keep slaves. Certain species, the so-called Sanguinary Ants in particular, will raid the nests of other ant tribes and kill the queen and then kidnap many of the workers. The workers are brought back to the captor's hive where they are coerced into performing menial tasks.And as we discussed last semester, the Army Ants will leave nothing but your bones. Perhaps you've encountered some of these insects in your communities, displaying both their predatory and defense characteristics, while imbedded within the walls of flesh and passing for, what is most commonly recognized... as human
The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.
Existo. Es algo tan dulce, tan dulce, tan lento. Y leve; como si se mantuviera solo en el aire. Se mueve. Por todas partes, roces que caen y se desvanecen. Muy suave, muy suave.
The problem with the religious solution [to philosophical problems] was stated by Mencken when he wrote, 'Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.' For anyone with a persistent intellectual curiosity, religious explanations are not worth knowing because they pile equally baffling enigmas on top of the original ones. What gave God a mind, free will, knowledge, certainty about right and wrong? How does he infuse them into a universe that seems to run just fine according to physical laws? How does he get ghostly souls to interact with hard matter? And most perplexing of all, if the world unfolds according to a wise and merciful plan, why does it contain so much suffering? As the Yiddish expression says, If God lived on earth, people would break his windows.
Mi corazón reposa junto a la fuente frÃa.(Llénala con tus hilos, araña del olvido.)El agua de la fuente su canción le decÃa.(Llénala con tus hilos, araña del olvido.)Mi corazón despierto sus amores decÃa.(Araña del silencio, téjele tu misterio)El agua de la fuente lo escuchaba sombrÃa.Araña del silencio, téjele tu misterio.)Mi corazón se vuelca sobre la fuente frÃa.(Manos blancas, lejanas, detened a las aguas.)Y el agua se lo lleva cantando de alegrÃa.(¡Manos blancas, lejanas, nada queda en las aguas!)
