i know what "teeth marks" are. I just don't know what they mean by the cat.#behaviour Dominance? Playful testing of... ? Lovesign because he/she didn't bite through the skin? Always had only (sometimes badly) scratches after playful "fights".
Is it possible to teach an introvert to be an extrovert (if they were presumably motivated to change) ? Would it be possible to transform extroverts into introverts through some program of calming and conditioning?
For all I know, might as well try to turn rover larvae into sitters and viceversa.

"Here we describe the capture web and attack behaviour of the pirate spider Gelanor siquirres. The capture web consists of long, dry silk lines that the spider lays downwards from its retreat to the nearby vegetation, as night falls. These lines serve as substrate for silk lines (floating lines) of other nocturnal spiders that begin web construction during the same period. If an exploring spider attaches its floating line to the silk line of the pirate spider's web, then the exploring spider walks along its line to the pirate spider's line. As the pirate spider perceives the exploring spider on its web, it descends from the retreat and attacks the exploring spider."
Consider it a compliment if you are called a 'bird brain'. 🙂
"In cities around the world, anti-bird spikes are used to protect statues and balconies from unwanted birds - but now, it appears the birds are getting their own back.
Dutch researchers have found that some birds use the spikes as weapons around their nests - using them to keep pests away in the same way that humans do."
Aaaah my main PhD paper has just been published! 🥳
Wild carrion crows in London and Milton Keynes listen and respond to speech out of their own motivation, but unlike the crows in Tokyo they didn't respond more to the foreign language than the local language 🐦
