Another reflection on 2017 as its wick burns low. The world in which we live.
This subject article comes from the venerable “Guardian” which fearfully protects us from ourselves. Or not. I read an article in January 2017 about the snow monkey and the deer (sounds like a short story or a joke) and wondered if it was more than the “rare” event statisticians so often reference to make their lives easier. While observing (a critical part of the scientific method) such behavior between species is interesting and perhaps informative, I didn’t expect that the original news report I read in January was a precursor to additional study. I guess the funding had to go somewhere.
But I am pleased to say that there is now some scientific evidence that suggests the snow monkey and deer may in fact get together more often than previously thought.
Anyway, the first link leads to the focus article, the second to the actual scientific report, and the third article to what, in this day and age, may very likely become a call for “cross species” representation in law, at least in countries that deign to entertain such cases before their highest judicial authorities.
