Penguins in Antarctica

Imperative Territory

With apologies to my hero, Prof Dr Konrad Lorenz, who was once caught naked in a fish tank by the Oberbürgermeister of Munich, because science waits for no bureaucrat1.

Ray and Silo


Raised a chick together in Central Park.


Not so odd for penguins.


Tango seemed to like her two dads.

Ten to fifteen percent of female western gulls


Just don't like guys.


Period.


Party on, ladies.

In the wild, female mantids rarely eat their mates.


What does that tell us?


Feed yours better, people,


And take your notes more carefully in future.

My dog (an ex-male) sits waiting for the postal lady


So that he can bark at her.


This appears to be a biological imperative.


It can't be love. She never pets him.

Hey, pretty woman, let's you and me


Mosey down to the steak house.


I'm supposed to feed you so you find me more attractive.


Or don't want to barbecue me.


Or something.

You can see Prof Dr Lorenz fooling some geese here
