Orcas also cooperate to a degree to take down large baleen whales, such as blue whales.

Not news by any stretch of the imagination, but very funny.

**Mari** · 01-17-2008, 04:24 PM

Look at this! Isn't she a beauty?
Ashera cat
I'm in love... I need to save up money... Lots of money >_<
Isn't she a cutie? Or he?
I didn't listen to the commentary though, so I don't know what they are saying.
EDIT: I just listened to the commentary. The last sentence was hilarious!

The last sane person · 01-17-2008, 04:43 PM

Meh, give me a street smart tomcat anyday of the week over that thing. Either that or a Maine Coon.

tolkienfan · 01-17-2008, 04:47 PM

That's an expensive cat!

**Mari** · 01-17-2008, 05:00 PM

Yes but she IS a beauty. Still, I would settle for any cat that can steal my heart by just looking at me. They eyes are what matters anyhow.

This one took my heart away just fine

Look at those calm eyes. Beautiful!

Sorry, I'm obsessed I know

tolkienfan · 01-17-2008, 05:05 PM

If only it had a jungle in the background instead of a chain-link fence...
(I don't have anything against zoos, I just think it would make a better picture.)

**Mari** · 01-17-2008, 05:07 PM

Yes it would, but it is his expression that draws me to him. And trust me, I've seen many many pictures, but this is one of the best expressions I've ever seen.

tolkienfan · 01-17-2008, 05:12 PM

I agree.

Meh. They might be beautiful, but the way the whiteness in them is kept.. Well, they're a known example of inbreeding, some of the suffer severe inbreeding depression.

I just can't see the beauty in that.

**Mari** · 01-17-2008, 06:02 PM

Fortunately I'm not out to convert you

Is there any type of cat that you like?

The last sane person · 01-17-2008, 06:22 PM

Her Amira is a very pretty kitty. God I need a cat...If I could only convince my brother to take his dog with him now that he moved out and has a house of his own....

**Mari** · 01-17-2008, 06:41 PM

I don't know that type of cat. I want a cat. Just wait till I live on my own in a place that allows pets (my current one doesn't), not have to go abroad for a year and not go to my parents every weekend.

The dog of your brother doesn't like cats then?

Nautipus · 01-17-2008, 08:38 PM

this is one of my favorite animals.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 01-17-2008, 09:07 PM

If I'm ever wealthy, this is the pet I want.

This would be you, then?

Sadly, my lack of Flash player or any ability to use video, kinda compromises my viewing of the joke. :/ Sorry.

Nautipus · 01-17-2008, 09:42 PM

The first one was a boy chased by chickens in a short movie, the second a kid harrasses a chicken, then got his

. The third showed two rabbits fighting and two chickens came and broke up the fight. Chickeny videos.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 01-17-2008, 10:18 PM

Chickens come in all personalities, but they're frequently sweet.

Like a friendly octopus...sometimes you have to know someone who can open you up to that idea.
