Idk how many Oklahoma followers I have on here, but I’m playing my first show in Tulsa at The Hunt Club tonight @ 8:30! I’ll be playing a ton of acoustic originals with the occasional cover mixed in. Would mean the world if you came out, I’d love to meet ya ❤️
Rumor has it if you start your day with Charlie’s Live @ Billy Bob’s album it increases your chance of having a good day by 69%
Happy Tuesday, listen to good, REAL music and don’t be an asshole
A humpback whale stunned researchers after rolling onto its back to shield a frightened seal from a pod of hunting whales.
The remarkable encounter took place near Antarctica during a marine expedition led by biologist Robert Pitman. Just moments before, several orcas had been relentlessly chasing the exhausted seal through the freezing water.
Then an enormous humpback whale suddenly appeared.
Witnesses watched as the whale repeatedly moved itself between the seal and the predators. At one point, it flipped onto its back and carefully balanced the seal on its chest, lifting it above the water while the orcas circled underneath attempting to reach it.
Scientists say this behaviour may be far more common than once believed.
Studies examining over 100 recorded interactions across six decades show humpback whales frequently interrupt whale hunts. While they are known to defend their own calves, researchers have also documented them protecting other species, including seals, sea lions, gray whales, and even fish.
Observers have seen humpbacks rush directly at attacking orcas, strike the water with their huge fins and tails, vocalize loudly, and physically block predators from reaching their prey. Some of these dramatic standoffs have reportedly continued for hours.
Researchers believe humpbacks may react to the sounds orcas make during hunts. Killer whales are often quiet while stalking prey, but become increasingly vocal during an attack.
Scientists suspect humpbacks evolved to associate those sounds with threats to their own young, triggering powerful defensive instincts that may unintentionally save other animals as well.
The Saiga Antelope had their population reduced to less than 50,000 due to a deadly bacteria outbreak in 2015. Now, there are more than 4.1 million Saiga Antelopes in the world.
It's considered one of the biggest successes in the history of animal conservation.
@tevordoley22 100%. I can’t sit still when I hear the opening riff on Three Dimes Down lol. Then Perfect Timing, Self Destructive Zones?? I feel like everything he wrote on this one is a 10/10 song. Patterson has some great tunes on it too but Cooley put crack in these songs or something
A never-before-seen owl has been found in the USA.
While snowy owls are known for their white feathers, this owl, nicknamed "Rusty" by locals, has an unexplained reddish-orange appearance.
