Blair’s Animal Corner Spectacular!

Sleight of hand doesn’t work on monkeys without thumbs
It turns out the deception only works if you can relate to the physical movement at play. There goes my monkey magic tricks business!

Parakeets can’t afford to go on vacation.
A short time away means a big fall in social standing, unlike dynamics in other animal groups.

Female spiders play dead!
But to convince the men to mate! What a twist!

Holy Dino lips, Batman!
T. rex had lips. Who knew?
