I wonder why cygnets are so much better behaved than a group of humans of the same age. Tinbergen's and Lorenz's work on imprinting baby birds shows how they follow a (surrogate) parent through anything, would it be ethical to try the same with children? No more worries about losing the toddler in the supermarket!
Has anyone read King Solomon's Ring? Marvellous, the title is from the ring that Allegedly gave Solomon the power to communicate with animals, among his other wisdoms.
In a different vein, but still vaguely zoological, this is my first go at stained glass. Highly addictive and really fiddly to get the shapes to fit, the next will be better. Only 11 more new things to go, but so many have been such fun I may aim for a nice round century!
