Formally known as the Bay-Winged Hawk and sometimes known as the Wolf Hawk and in Latin America as Peuco. This medium sized and very intelligent hawk will hunt cooperatively in packs with other tolerant groups of other Harris's Hawks unlike other raptors that will hunt alone. Can be found from southwestern United States to Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

L’intelligence, c’est la fantaisie. C’est le grain de folie qui ne doit jamais germer mais qui pimente si bien la grisaille quotidienne.
L'intelligence par Frédéric Dard dit San-Antonio
J'ai rencontré cette dame lors de ma petite balade. Seule, affligée. Elle m'a remarquée et m'a demandé si j'étais journaliste. J'ai souri et lui ai dit non. Puis elle m'a dit qu'elle voulait me parler, elle voulait parler à quelq'un. Musulmane de paix, musulmane de coeur, m'a t-elle dit, elle ne dort plus depuis l'attentat terroriste de la basilique de Nice, a peur de l'amalgame inévitable qui en découle. Au bord des larmes. L'ai-je un peu rassurée en lui disant qu'il y avait des gens intelligents en France quand même ? Je ne sais pas mais je n'oublierai pas ses yeux tristes.

Lately there has been an increase in these funny jumping spiders in our backyard. I like how they explore and look around. This one seemed to be analyzing me and my camera while I was taking shots. Makes it seem like such an intelligent animal.

Connaissez-vous le "Prompt Art"
Le prompt art est une technologie qui consiste a creer des œuvres d'art au moyen de l'intelligence artificielle.
Le principe est que l'utilisateur d'une interface informatique tape des mots cles dans un moteur de recherche, dont l'intelligence artificielle va se servir pour generer une ou plusieurs œuvres : « Comme vous lisez un prompteur, le prompt c’est un bout de texte qui va passer par une serie d’algorithmes, un reseau de neurones pour generer une image »
Alors je m'y suis essaye, une phrase quelques mots en anglais et hop.

Personally I have never been up close and personal with an elephant before . His sharp intelligence took me by surprise. We hand fed him and as he towered far above us I connected with him for a brief moment shocked by the intensity of his intelligent gaze. He was aware of every move we made, evaluated us and patiently waited for us to give him carrots and apples. He is a former circus elephant and his bestie is a zebra with a bad attitude to other zebras.
The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests.
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres in length and 1.2 kilograms in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory. Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste. Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature. 67375
Particularly intelligent, the black redstart is a resourceful species. It often frequents rooftops, chimneys and antennas. During the night, it prefers crevices of walls or rock cavities instead. When not in flight, it is perched on overhangs of buildings or other perches, characteristic wiggling its tail. On the ground it proceeds in small hops.
Originally the black redstart was living almost exclusively in rocky areas, but already in the 18th and 19th centuries, due to the increasing urbanisation and expansion of cities, it spread to the plains and then into the cities and villages, using buildings and high-rises instead of its native, alpine and rocky habitat. It nests at a maximum altitude of 3200m and it’s a very widespread species. It’s funny song is strident and it starts way before sunrise, giving the start signal to the birds for their morning concert.

This highly social and intelligent species is well adapted to a semi-aquatic life-style. Male and female California sea lions differ significantly in appearance. Males are substantially bigger than females and have an enlarged sagittal crest, which is usually topped with white fur.
The Garden, all gardens, are living and very intelligent and adaptive …entities!!They adapt and change their ….enchanting robes according to the Seasons!! So, here we are, have a look at the pond of my garden now, during a cold Winter late morning, when the sun plays hide and seek…!!! Under snow!! With sun or without!! There are still very lovely colors , and shapes, and shadows!! Only , different ones from those of Summer ‘s or Spring’s!! And, of course, I just wished to take a picture from inside, from the …living room, behind the closed door window….Brrrr, It was SO cold and frozen outside!!!..
.
And then, have a look at these photos below, taken in June, to realize what I mean!! Mmmmm, huge difference!!
In un angolo soleggiato del cortile, una gallina dal piumaggio variegato si prende cura del suo nido. Con grande sorpresa, non ci sono uova né pulcini, ma tre piccoli gattini che sonnecchiano pacifici. La gallina li protegge con affetto, creando un'insolita ma dolce famiglia.
Questa è una storia vera: guardare il video!

Log 2.002.1: Turned out to be a planet, no signs of intelligent life at this point. That means no hope in fixing what was broken from the wormhole jump. There are some interesting plants and minerals here, and I'm pretty sure the ship can refine some of them into fuel. The air isn't breathable, so I've got to keep my time on the surface short and only get what I need.

Quo vadis… ”Where are you going?"
Yes, where do we go from here, the shock is dying down already as I see, the media interest will lessen quickly, yet the scars will remain, we’ll be a bit more battered, a bit more weary.
I feel like apologising to my sons, my grand-children for bringing them into this world… when all I ever wanted was peace…

Intelligent Eyes - A subadult Brown Bear peers at me while taking a break from foraging on grasses.
I've just returned from a 3 month trip to Haines, in Southeast Alaska and finally got to processing some files. Observing and photographing this wild bear was the highlight of the trip. This individual is likely a 2 year old female bear and was relatively small, but plump, probably weighing in between 175-200 lbs.
Brown Bears are distinguished from Black Bears not by color, but by their more rounded ears, longer claws, dorsal hump and steeper brow. This particular individual had a really well proportioned snout and nice rounded ears and was the most beautiful Brown Bear I observed during the trip.
The term 'Grizzly' is a colloquial North American term that refers to Brown Bears, often more specifically Brown Bears found in interior regions such as Yellowstone National Park where bears do not have access to coastal resources such as salmon.

Asian elephants are highly intelligent and self-aware. They have a very large and highly convoluted neocortex, a trait also shared by humans, apes and certain dolphin species. Asian elephants have the greatest volume of cerebral cortex available for cognitive processing of all existing land animals. The cerebral cortex exceeds that of any primate species, and extensive studies place elephants in the category of great apes in terms of cognitive abilities for tool use and tool making.
They exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, allomothering, mimicry, play, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and language. Elephants are reported to go to safer ground during natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes, although there have been no scientific records of this since it is hard to recreate or predict natural disasters.
Elephants are crepuscular. They are classified as megaherbivores and consume up to 150 kg (330 lb) of plant matter per day. They are generalist feeders, and both grazers and browsers, and were recorded to feed on 112 different plant species, most commonly of the order Malvales, and the legume, palm, sedge and true grass families.
They browse more in the dry season with bark constituting a major part of their diet in the cool part of that season. They drink at least once a day and are never far from a permanent source of fresh water. They need 80–200 litres of water a day and use even more for bathing. At times, they scrape the soil for clay or minerals. – Wikipedia
L'intelligence des corneilles est connue depuis l'Antiquité. Ainsi, le Grec Ésope montre dans l'une de ses fables une corneille assoiffée trouvant une cruche contenant un peu d'eau. Elle jette dans la cruche des cailloux pour faire monter le niveau d'eau et ainsi s'abreuver – à l'époque moderne, l'expérience a été reproduite
De fait, la Corneille noire présente, comme les autres corvidés, des capacités cognitives particulièrement développées : les corvidés sont le genre d'oiseaux présentant la taille de cerveau la plus importante proportionnellement à leur taille, ce qui leur a attiré le sobriquet de « singes à plumes ».
Sa mémoire lui permet de se remémorer ses caches de nourriture ou encore de reconnaître des êtres humains. Comme tous les corvidés, elle combine néophobie, grandes capacités d'exploration et haut degré d'innovation comportementale. Par jeu, elle laisse tomber des objets qu'elle rattrape en vol, se laisse pendre par une patte, la tête en bas, ou encore se laisse glisser sur des pentes enneigées.

Pica pica (Eurasian magpie / Urraca común)
The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout the northern part of the Eurasian continent.
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans. It is the only bird known to pass the mirror test, along with very few other non-avian species.
With the intense heat wave here in Texas, the backyard birdbath has become a popular place for birds, squirrels, possums, foxes, and neighborhood cats. But the intelligent Blue Jays are always the first to the birdbath after it has been refilled with cool water. This Jay was not bashful at all--the air temperature was 107F that day.

La rana dagli occhi rossi (Agalychnis callidryas) è una specie davvero bella, il suo corpo è di un verde brillante, fiancheggiato da blu, bianco e giallo. I suoi piedi e le sue dita arancioni sono un'altra caratteristica sorprendente, ma la più notevole sono i suoi occhi rosso intenso. A differenza di molti anfibi dai colori vivaci, la rana dagli occhi rossi non è velenosa. Come suggerisce il nome, questa rana è una specie arboricola, che ama trascorrere il tempo sugli alberi e su altre piante.

A la suite de la Révolution et la fin des droits banaux, la première moitié du XIXème siècle vit s'ériger de nombreux moulins, d'envergure artisanale (à l'usage d'un village) ou familiale. Représentatifs de ces changements de société, les moulins d'Ally furent construits autour de 1820. Cela ne signifie pas qu'il n'y eût aucun moulin à Ally au Moyen-âge, mais aucune trace n'est connue. Moulins privés, ils étaient utilisés par les familles auxquelles ils appartenaient, familles de paysans ou de mineurs, à qui ils apportaient une autonomie certainement appréciée. Ces moulins étaient tous majoritairement des moulins à farine.
La particularité d'Ally réside bien dans le fait d'avoir compté majoritairement des moulins à vent, 10 au total au XIXème siècle, contre 7 moulins à eau. Particularité expliquée par un pays très venté, traversé par des cours d'eau de faible débit. Les moulins à vent d'Ally sont des tours à corps cylindrique, construits en pierres de pays avec quelques moellons de quartz. A l'inverse des moulins en bois dont le corps entier pivote, seul le toit conique tourne sur un chemin de roulement circulaire. On faisait pivoter ce toit à l'aide d'une queue, longue pièce de bois fixée sur une traverse de la charpente, afin de placer les ailes dans l'axe du vent…ou de les détourner, lorsqu'on souhaitait arrêter le moulin. Bien plus qu'une simple visite, c'est un accueil à la carte et des commentaires éclairés pour passer un moment intelligent. Découvrez toute l'ingéniosité de son mécanisme en bois datant du début du XIXème siècle ainsi que le travail de son meunier, véritable dompteur des vents. Peut-être verrez-vous même le moulin balayer le ciel de ses ailes garnies de fines planches : une curiosité !

Magpies are birds of the Corvidae family. Like other members of their family, they are widely considered to be intelligent creatures. The Eurasian magpie, for instance, is thought to rank among the world's smartest creatures, and is one of the few non-mammal species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. In addition to other members of the genus Pica, corvids considered as magpies are in the genera Cissa, Urocissa, and Cyanopica.
