“Plants can be just as deceptive as animals. They play the same games of mimicry, and they obey the same rules of diminishing returns.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“Even today’s highly overbred domestic pigs still possess the behavioural repertoire of their free-roaming cousins. So, what would happen if the borders fell down? Sows would lay down in comfort to feed their young. They would create nests for them in small, leafy ditches, and wouldn’t have to push their noses into sad imitations over a blank, slatted floor. A sow spends the first days after birth alone with her young before gradually introducing them to the family. Free-roaming pigs also follow the kindergarten principle: if a sow needs to go and look for food, another will look after the little ones. ~ Hilal Sezgin”
