Carolina parakeets were the only parrots native to eastern North America. They had a green body, yellow head, orange face, and flew in noisy flocks across the southeastern US.
They ate the fruit in farmers' orchards, and farmers shot them by the thousands. They had a fatal social instinct: when one was shot, the rest of the flock circled back to "mourn" the dead bird, where they could be shot too. Entire flocks could be killed off in single afternoons.
In 1885, the Cincinnati Zoo bought 16 of them for $40, hoping to breed enough to save the species. The captive breeding program didn't work, and by 1917, only two were left: a male called Incas and his mate of 32 years, Lady Jane.
She died in late summer 1917. The zookeepers said Incas became "listless and mournful" and stopped eating.
On February 21, 1918, Incas was found dead in the morning after a cold night.
It really makes you wonder what the woods would sound like if their flocks still flew overhead.
Este señor es de Venezuela.
Yo he conocido a más de un venezolano parecido a los fuertotes de la viñeta de abajo.
No dan tanto miedo. Te ponen el culo en pompa, les pones el pito ahí en el bujero y ellos dicen "sí papiiiiii".
Os lo recomiendo.
Happy pride.
There's a weird ongoing trend of ppl having fantasies of being violent or abusing black children. Very disappointed that I see even Asians participate in this behavior. This is a reminder to stop supporting those businesses that exploit black children & men to greet ppl birthday
@Hooniez4Han if only yall knew what chinese influencers in africa does to african children.. many content creators make a living from exploiting and abusing the children
This is animal abuse. This crocodile is using vocal sounds that are basically calling out for it's mom which is very concerning since it would only be doing that in distress. Also the replies and qoutes are super gross since most of them are fetishizing this poor baby
