Brahma chickens are known for their distinctive large ears, which are a characteristic feature of the breed. These prominent ear lobes help in regulating body temperature by allowing heat to dissipate more effectively. Additionally, the large ears contribute to their unique appearance, making them visually striking among poultry breeds. This trait is also associated with their overall hardiness and adaptability to various climates.

How do you trap of a fisher.The wild animal?
The fisher is a North American marten, a medium-sized mustelid. The fisher is agile in trees and has a slender body that allows it to pursue prey into hollow trees or burrows in the ground. Despite its name, this animal seldom eats fish; the name may originate from the French word fichet, which referred to the pelt of a European polecat. In some regions the fisher is known as a pekan, derived from its name in the Abenaki language. In parts of New England it is often called a fisher cat. it was sugested to me: use a 5 gallon bucket and a conibear trap, #160 or 220. notch the bucket so the trap sits across the mouth of the bucket. attach the bucket to a log or board between two trees about 4 feet off the ground. place some meat, rabbit is a favorite, in the bottom of the bucket - set the trap and place it in the mouth of the bucket. check the trap daily from a distance so as to keep your scent out of the area. once the bucket is ready (notched) wash it with a none scented soap and use rubber gloves from then on. scents can be purchased at most sporting goods stores, and are sometimes a good idea. i hope it works for you, good luck! it was sugested to me: use a 5 gallon bucket and a conibear trap, #160 or 220. notch the bucket so the trap sits across the mouth of the bucket. attach the bucket to a log or board between two trees about 4 feet off the ground. place some meat, rabbit is a favorite, in the bottom of the bucket - set the trap and place it in the mouth of the bucket. check the trap daily from a distance so as to keep your scent out of the area. once the bucket is ready (notched) wash it with a none scented soap and use rubber gloves from then on. scents can be purchased at most sporting goods stores, and are sometimes a good idea. i hope it works for you, good luck! rub liver from any animal around the trap and set this mechanism (bucket and trap) on a log that is from 10 degrees to 45 degrees tilted.

Elephants do not have language so they don't use names for each other. Of course we give them names, and they may recognise them.
Whales are larger than elephants then why is their gestation period shorter than that of elephants?
Gestation periods have little to do with size. The time that mammals develope in the womb is based on how well that life form needs to be developed when they exit the womb, what body systems develope in the animal first, and the burdan on the mother to carry the child. When a young elephant is born it must be able to walk and digest grass in a very short amount of time both of which are more complex systems than the flesh based digestive system and a body built for swimming.

Do Asian elephants go rogue sometimes?
Yes. Most are males in a state of sexual excitement called "musth". One dark tusker, in the early 1920's, killed 34 people over a six week span near Uttar Pradesh. This animal was hunted by over 50 hunters, but was able to elude them, even trapping seven men on a large rock for two days in the hot sun. The killer was finally killled when it fell into a quagmire and got stuck, and the men were able to kill it. The animal was nearly black in color, and had five foot long tusks, and even actually consumed one of its victims nearly entirely, behaviour hitherto unknown in elephants.
Can an elephant walk past a hunter without being heard?
Yes. It is unbelievable but it's true. Hunters can walk past a hunter without being heard.
