Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

I've seen them in the Melbourne zoo. They look as if they'd be hopeless up in a tree, but they move around the branches with surprising ease...

Far north-eastern Oz, but mostly in Papua New Guinea...

Amazon has a discussion forum? :think:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Yeah, it's kind of crap. You have a hard time finding the fora and then you can't find any old messages. If you click a name, it just gives me and the books and records I reviewed, not the posts.

Some of the fora:
http://www.amazon.com/tag/beatles/produ ... ag_dh_istp

http://www.amazon.com/forum/science/ref ... 8KVEERYS5E

religion
http://www.amazon.com/forum/religion?_e ... t_bkt_icdf

A friend that owns 30 000 LPs once got me in there for music. I can barely find his once a day messages.

If you've ever seen a sheep contentedly chewing on a plant half-way up a sheer vertical rockface, nothing would surprise you.

Of course in geological terms it was all the same place practically yesterday.

The tree kangaroo is an essential piece of info into biogeography. Wallace, of darwidian fame, discoverd the Wallace line:

Same with the tree-climbing antics of goats. Not my photo below, but I've seen the same behaviour with feral goats over here. Who would have thought cloven hooves would be ideal for tree climbing?

I was going to ask if they'd cleaned that tree out, but considering the others, including some very low lying bushes, are still apparently intact, I'd say not.

I wonder if social rank is related to positions on the tree?
