Oakely is tugging at the Aussie's tail this morning!

Oakley just came home today. She still has baby giraffe legs, clumsy girl!

Impala rams are impressive antelopes found in the grasslands and savannas of Africa. These handsome creatures are easily recognized by their elegant, lyre-shaped horns that can reach lengths of up to 36 inches. Known for their agility and speed, impala rams can leap distances of up to 33 feet and reach speeds of around 60 miles per hour when fleeing from predators like lions and cheetahs. During the mating season, male impalas engage in fierce battles to establish dominance and access to females. They live in herds led by a dominant male, providing protection against predators through their alertness and swift reactions.

Meerkats are small mammals native to southern Africa, known for their social behavior and burrow-dwelling lifestyle. They live in groups called mobs or clans, consisting of up to 50 individuals. Meerkats are omnivores, feeding on insects, small mammals, reptiles, and occasionally fruits and seeds. Their keen sense of smell helps them locate food, while their sharp claws aid in digging burrows and catching prey. Meerkats communicate through various vocalizations and body language, alerting each other to predators or potential threats. They have a structured social hierarchy, with dominant individuals leading the group and taking care of the young.

A computer simulation shows the collision of two black holes, a tremendously powerful event detected for the first time ever by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO. LIGO detected gravitational waves, or ripples in space and time generated as the black holes spiraled in toward each other, collided, and merged. This simulation shows how the merger would appear to our eyes if we could somehow travel in a spaceship for a closer look. It was created by solving equations from Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity using the LIGO data. The two merging black holes are each roughly 30 times the mass of the sun, with one slightly larger than the other. Time has been slowed down by a factor of about 100. The event took place 1.3 billion years ago. The stars appear warped due to the incredibly strong gravity of the black holes. The black holes warp space and time, and this causes light from the stars to curve around the black holes in a process called gravitational lensing. The ring around the black holes, known as an Einstein ring, arises from the light of all the stars in a small region behind the holes, where gravitational lensing has smeared their images into a ring. The gravitational waves themselves would not be seen by a human near the black holes and so do not show in this video, with one important exception. The gravitational wavesthatare traveling outward toward the small region behind the black holes disturb that region’s stellar images in the Einstein ring, causing them to slosh around, even long after the collision. The gravitational waves traveling in other directions cause weaker, and shorter-lived sloshing, everywhere outside the ring. This simulation was created by the multi-university SXS (Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes) project. For more information, visit http://www.black-holes.org​.

He is totally uninterested!

Lazy guy would rather chew.

These little guys are great!

The softest animal in the world is generally considered to be the sea otter. Sea otters have incredibly dense fur, with up to 1 million hairs per square inch, making their fur exceptionally soft to the touch. This dense fur helps keep them warm in cold ocean waters.

The Great Wall of China is a remarkable architectural feat that stretches over 13,000 miles (21,196 kilometers) across China's northern borders. Here are some fascinating facts about this iconic structure: 1. **Construction History**: The construction of the Great Wall began over 2,000 years ago, during the Qin Dynasty (around 221 BC). However, most of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD). 2. **Purpose**: Contrary to common belief, the Great Wall wasn't built to be visible from space. Its primary purpose was to protect China from invasions by nomadic tribes from the north, such as the Mongols and the Xiongnu. 3. **Materials**: The wall is made from a variety of materials, including stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials available locally along its route. 4. **Length**: The Great Wall's length is impressive, but it's not a continuous wall. Instead, it consists of multiple sections built over different periods. Some parts have crumbled over time, while others have been restored. 5. **Watchtowers and Forts**: Along the wall are numerous watchtowers and forts used for surveillance, communication, and defense. They vary in size and design, depending on the strategic needs of the area. 6. **Human Cost**: The construction of the wall required immense human labor. It is estimated that millions of workers, including soldiers, convicts, and peasants, contributed to its construction over the centuries. Many lost their lives during its construction. 7. **Cultural Symbol**: The Great Wall of China is not only a physical barrier but also a symbol of Chinese civilization, resilience, and unity. It embodies the ingenuity and determination of the Chinese people throughout history. 8. **Tourism**: Today, the Great Wall is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world. Visitors come from all over the globe to marvel at its grandeur, walk along its ancient paths, and learn about its rich history. 9. **Conservation Efforts**: Efforts are ongoing to preserve and protect the Great Wall from natural erosion, human encroachment, and other forms of damage. UNESCO has designated certain sections as World Heritage Sites to ensure their conservation for future generations.

Can someone name that bird?

Police vs Fire Hockey right before an Allen Americans game. I had the privilege of seeing this game after coming to town to see friends. So fun!

Cute as heck, but I can't be the only one who thinks they're silly looking!
