@ANB_DrPerazio here is an old picture of my cat exhibiting foraging. He felt he needed to get his full body in the food to consume it (identifying his food through touch & smell). Using the optimal foraging theory, this food is highly profitable so Yoda won’t look for other food
However, this may not be the most profitable so this would go against this theory as Yoda is choosing preference over profitability. Yoda will also probably be risk averse as he definitely met his daily food needs and so finding food is less important.
@ANB_DrPerazio and one last video also exhibiting object play. This type of play can provide learning as well as neuromuscular development and perceptual skills
@ANB_DrPerazio attached is an old video of my cats playing. This reminded me of social play in chapter 16. My cat Bagel is probably playing to burn off energy while the other one is not so interested. Below I am attaching other videos that I feel represent object play
@ANB_DrPerazio these are pictures I found in my camera roll which show some of the examples we learned for anti-predator behavior. The stingray exhibits background matching, the jellyfish transparency, the shark counter shading and the moth has a false eyespot.
@ANB_DrPerazio This is a video of my cat exemplifying operant conditioning that we learned about in Chapter 5. More specially, positive reinforcement as she is getting a treat for doing the targeted behavior of rolling over.

Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭
