turtle mules piglet

[urbpan]

I put the wood turtle out in a big enclosure full of water, leaves, and things to climb on. He mostly enjoyed being camouflaged, I think. I'm not sure how they know--he probably just knows that he's mostly covered up.


After a long wait, the mules finally got to do their job, pulling the hayride!


We have a new pig shed, and new piglets! This one ventured away from his brothers and mom to check out the outdoor part of the pen.

Or do they just happen to camoflauge without thinking about it through pure niche-filling action- a species that evolves in leaf litter ends up looking brownish splotchy...

I think this is it, and yet they have to have some kind of behavior that causes them to seek out camouflage situations...
