    Fun fact, baby bunnies are so high stress they can die from little baby heart attacks if they are too stressed.

    Haha, I never considered that perspective I envy may cats often, but they do freak out at the smallest thing, like one cat is terrified of trash bags, but only when they are empty.

      Makes sense to me. Why do empty trash bags exist? Nobody wants an empty trash bag, so everyone fills them up all the time. Why not sell them pre-filled? It just doesn’t make sense.

    Meanwhile -

    I’ve heard that the birds don’t sing songs to us but rather either tempt mates for reproduction or warn other same-sex birds to come too close or else!

      That fact that anyone would even think that they’re singing “for us” is disturbing. It’s so deeply stupid.

      With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.

      I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I’m thinking “how the hell did that turn on?”. Of course I go to check and it’s off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.

    You know all those animals that have huge litters? If the population is stable, guess how many survive to reproduce.
