Animals in photos and videos and biological and animal curiosities

It is normal for the substance of a concept to precede its labeling, as was the case recently for "conclusive doubt", which has since been enriched with a new category, "random banter". This last concept makes it possible to present an observation while allowing the possibility of a subsequent retraction without damage...

I take this opportunity to remove the word psittacism which could be controversial, to prefer the term echodixity.

echodixity.

Not found on google, nor on the paper dictionary.
Nice way to elude an answer!

Normal! It is a neologism "homemade"... Language is constantly being invented...

Do you have an inexpensive echolocation in your area?

This Saturday, May 20 at 13:15 p.m. on France 2, the subject concerned a young woman who breeds pigs of a particular variety.
According to her, she loved animals and she had therefore adopted small piglets, living in her house, which she had called with pet names as if they were her children. But these pigs reproduced and she then found herself with a herd of 200 pigs, born of these very fertile "parents" and so she sold these "children" whom she raised with love, according to her words of course, to a butcher and she greedily tasted pieces of meat from these "children" she loved so much.
Except that it was necessary, to do this, to kill them and so she brought them, always with love, affectionately caressing these future assassinated, which caused her problems on the emotional level obviously, but also ethical problems quickly forgotten, except that ' she did not accompany these "children" to the slaughterhouse to murder, herself, these dear animals that she loved so much.
That's the human contradictions where the individual spends his time self-justifying and justifying these horrible acts. Which brings us back to the same behavior observed among slavers and Nazism when its “soldiers” led the unauthorized to live in the gas chambers, these slaughterhouses for humans considered as cooking meat with a pleasant smell. Because : " there is nothing new under the sun, all that is has been and WILL AGAIN !"

For the bonobos, well, we already knew ! Gesture is the fingers too, right? Hey Macro we already knew!

Chimpanzees and bonobos practice sign language that we can understand

Humans are able to understand around XNUMX gestures that chimpanzees and bonobos use to communicate with each other, a Scottish experiment shows. She suggests that we share a common sign language with these wild primates.

Humans share elements of a common language with apes, including many gestures that chimpanzees and bonobos use to communicate, according to researchers from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland (Britain). Kirsty E. Graham and Catherine Hobaiter have shaken up commonly used video playback experiments to test primates' understanding of human communication. Conversely, they wanted to determine to what extent adult Homo sapiens could decode the gestures of other great apes. 5656 volunteers therefore watched videos of chimpanzees and bonobos making about twenty distinct gestures, then selected possible meanings from a multiple-choice list.
