What am I sappy eagle blogging?
August 21, 2015I heard a story on NPR recently about how observation drones employed to observe wildlife raise the heart rates of the animals they are observing.
In the case of the story, black bears in the wild. The take-home message was that the drones interfere with the health and well-being of the critters.
The bears that the drones were being tested on had previously been caught, anesthetized, radio-tagged, and had heart rate monitors surgically implanted.
I wonder how those interventions affected their heart rate. Hmmm?
Anyway, this is what an eagle thinks of the drones.
What am I sappy spider blogging?

Jurgen Otto is a spider and mite biologist from Australia who is interested in creatures such as the peacock spider, from a scientific perspective as well as for its entertaining dancing.
John Travolta, eat your heart out. “Unh, unh, unh, unh . . . ”
