To research dolphin behaviour we first have to ask the question: what is the problem the behavior has evolved to solve? The following is a list of some of the main problems: foraging: how to find, select, and process prey; predator avoidance or defense: the flip side of foraging from the prey’s point of view; …
Do you ever feel like having a nice bowl of breakfast cereal, even though it’s been years since you’ve last eaten it and don’t even like it anymore because it’s way too sweet and full of grains you don’t even like (anymore)? I sometimes feel I could go for a nice bowl like that. But …
On a work day. I have to start by explaining that my days aren’t filled with all-things-blogging related and why. We’re (my husband and I) currently renovating a house we bought a good year ago and are hurrying to move in as soon as possible. So most of my free time is dedicated to the …
Iceland is mesmerizing, for the eye and for the mind. I will let the photos do most of the talking and just add some captions as we go through the days. Things we did (2 months) before the trip: planned the whole route according to all the sites we wanted to see, made accommodation reservations …

Natural markings data can be …

This post doesn’t need an intro as the title says it all. Most of the songs on the list are rock, those I like to call “midnight rock”, others are random genres. Some even have kinky lyrics, but that’s not factor that makes them sexy. I can’t really explain, what it is, there’s just something …
Sometimes, with too much time on our hands, we get lost on YouTube. Sounds familiar? 😉 In my case, I “waste” my time on, among others, some beauty and fashion vlogs (even environmentalists fall for the cute things, guilty). The ones I come across are pretty likeable and relaxing with occasionally some good advice. What …
First of all, dolphins do sleep, but it’s not the type of sleep land mammals have. Dolphins are conscious breathers, which means they have to think about when to go up to the surface and take a breath. Since they don’t breathe autonomously and have to plan every single breath, they undergo a form of …
I first met the character at the age of about 13 years, my friend had the game. I was amazed by the story, Lara’s bravery and mostly, of course, her physical abilities. I dare say it affected my greatly and in a very good way. I will not be getting into the games, films and …
