Also known as Bearded Vulture.
Lammergeier, (German: “lamb vulture”) (Gypaetus barbatus), lammergeier also spelled lammergeyer or lammergeir, also called bearded vulture, big eaglelike vulture of the Old World (family Accipitridae), frequently over 1 metre (40 inches) long, with a wingspread of nearly 3 metres (10 feet). Brown above and tawny below, the lammergeier has spots on the breast, black and white stripes on the head, and long bristles on the “chin.” Eaglelike features are the feathered face and legs, curved beak, strongly prehensile feet, and long curved claws. The lammergeier inhabits mountainous regions from Central Asia and eastern Africa to Spain. It usually nests on ledges of cliffs, laying one or two whitish eggs about 10 cm (4 inches) in length. It feeds on carrion, especially bones, which it drops from heights as great as 80 metres (260 feet) onto flat rocks below. The bird thereby obtains access to the marrow of the bones that have broken.
These costumes were created for an act for Technomania Circus called body strip. I start off wearing all five unitards & dance to classic burlesque music as Richard peels off layers in succession. First the skin is taken off, revealing muscles; then the muscles are removed, showing the organs; organs give way to the circulatory system; in the end, I'm left wearing the bones. It worked really well.
Originally, another cast member was going to paint some of these, as I was not confident enough of my artistic skills. But she didn't do them, so I ended up having to paint four costumes in the last three days before the show (I'd already finished the muscles earlier). Krystina helped a lot by borrowing an overhead projector and helping me chalk outlines for the organs, bones, & circulatory system from projected transparencies; muscles and skin were done freehand, as was the shading on the heart. I'm really quite amazed these costumes turned out as well as they did.
A Great Horned Owl I spotted and watched for a while in Uintah County Utah last week. He started doing some weird movements while I was taking this video and I found out he was coughing up an owl pellet. Owls don't digest the bones and fur of their prey. instead their digestive system wraps them up in a pellet which they gag up like this.
The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica has a habit of blowing bubbles after they consume food. The process is as follows. They perch on a branch and blow a bubble. Once the bubble reaches some size, they hold it for a while in their mouth. Then they suck it inside.
Though there are no clear explanations with the scientific fraternity. However, one explanation is that the houseflies tend to suck out the nutrients through their proboscis, which appears like a straw or elephant's trunk. There are chances that the nutrient solution sucked in was highly diluted.
So possibly, to release the surplus liquids and make the chyme (consumed food) concentrated, they send the solution out of their
mouth, hold it in the sun and breeze to reduce water and then suck back in. However, this is just a theory that is yet to be proven.
There is a tiny caterpillar just below the housefly, but it has got nothing to do with this fly!
