Neo fledges!

A few screenshots from nest#1 of Sääksilive Osprey nests, where the 50-day-old only chick of this year's clutch fledged today.

Returning to the nest from first flight.

Beautiful landing!

Snacks soon after.

Fish feedings and fish findings

Some older screenshots from nest#1 of Sääksilive Osprey nests, with another occasion of dad Eura gently feeding the chick while mom Eine keeps watch. The little one is three weeks old here.

And one more such moment. The chick is four weeks old, close to turning five weeks. Seeing dad fly in with a fish in the early morning.

Allegedly smarter than dolphins and primates

More adventures at my JWE moviepark park (previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

Oh boy, a chance to visit the facility behind the gate! Got a text with a temporary access code (expires in 15 minutes, so let's be quick about this, no time for sightseeing) and an order to go resupply a feeder in there.

Weird, because my staff map app still says the paddock in there is empty. Maybe they meant the second feeder at the back of the Velociraptor paddock and got them mixed up since it's so close. Well, I'm keeping this text as evidence, and they can't make me carry this stuff over there later if it's their mistake!

Meanwhile, at the aforementioned Velociraptor paddock:

"Hey Charlie, I bet you can't fit your head through the bars on the gate!"

"Oh yeah? Watch this! -Wait, how do I...? Oh shit, I'm stuck! Help!"

"Calm down, you'll hurt yourself trying to pull your head back like that! Try fitting the rest of you through instead?"

"Well, now my butt is stuck! Any more ideas?"

Indominus rex and Indoraptor hand thoughts

(Spoilers for Fallen Kingdom, not much for Jurassic World,
and none for JW: Dominion)

As it was recently brought to my attention in a comment to a picture I drew of indoraptorlet Sunny using her opposable thumbs, the movie hybrids' hands are a bit weirder than I'd previously noticed: They seem to have two phalanx bones on both the first and second digit, when I'd assumed it's only the first, and that the second would have more than that like the third and fourth do.

In addition to scrutinizing the movie, here's a screenshot I took of the hands of Jurassic World Evolution's Indominus rex model, which was created using the model from the movie. Yep! Looks like two phalanges on the second digit. Okay, why does that matter?
