We often talk about people, but let’s not forget our world’s incredible diversity extends far beyond the human race. Yesterday, during a break from work talks, the COPIs found themselves deep in conversation about… animal intelligence!????? While chimps and dolphins usually steal the spotlight, guess who else ranks high (and even above clever domestic pets like dogs)??Raccoons! ?? Here’s why these furry little masterminds deserve a shoutout: ?? Puzzle-Solving Pros Raccoons are expert problem solvers. In one study, they picked locks on cages—even when the locks were rearranged or hidden! Their nimble paws and sharp memory make them true escape artists. ?? Garbage Bin Geniuses Ever wonder why raccoons always raid your trash? These clever critters use trial and error to bypass lids, locks, and even weights. Their knack for overcoming obstacles shows they're more than just cute scavengers. ?? Memory Champions Raccoons have remarkable long-term memory, remembering solutions to tasks for up to three years! Once they’ve cracked the code to a tricky food source, they never forget it. Wishing you all a raccoony resourceful midweek!??? ?? ?? #intelligence #knowledgesharing #animalworld #midweekwisdom #COPItalks

Meet the West Coast rock lobsters. ?? With slow growth rates and a lifespan of about 50 years, West Coast rock lobsters have a fascinating lifecycle. Female rock lobsters carry their orange eggs on tiny hairs beneath their tails (this is when they are “in berry”). After 80 to 90 days, the eggs hatch and produce tiny, transparent, spider-like larvae called naupliosoma. Later, these larvae moult and become phyllosoma larvae with long, hairy legs.

Saw this beauty while driving the roads of Alligator River a couple weeks back. Wish I was able to spend more time with him. Here’s some more Black Bear facts ?? ?? Bear Facts! ?? ————————— As omnivores, black bears have a varied diet, including meat, berries, fruit, insects, and leaves. Their 42 teeth reflect this diet, and by the time they’re 2 years old, they will have permanent teeth. ?? Most black bears average about 300-plus pounds, but the world record heaviest black bear was a whopping 880 lb, found in Craven County in 1998! ???? Running from black bears is never a good idea as they are much, much faster, reaching speeds of 35 mph! ????♂? ?? Bear Safety Tips! ?? ————————— NEVER feed bears as this will associate humans with food, and when humans don’t have food, well... you can guess what might happen. ?? When in Bear Country, always carry bear spray. It’s a $50 investment that could save your life. Bear spray has been known to be more effective than any other method of deterrent, including firearms. ???? Keeping your dog on a leash when out hiking is crucial. I want my pets to have as much freedom as they can, of course, but by not having your dog on a leash, you forfeit control over them, which can result in them squaring up with a bear. ?? ————————— Black Bear Safety Mann’s Harbor, North Carolina 05/30/2024 . . . #blackbears #wildlifefacts #bearsafety #natureeducation #wildlifeconservation #bearsofinstagram #outdooradventures #wildlifephotography #bearcountry #bearspray #safewildlifeencounters #naturetips #omnivores #wildlifeencounters #hikingtips #wildlifesafety #nikond850 #nikon #natgeowild #barlowstudio #keepgettingoutthere

This “Tale of Two Kitties” (with apologies to Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities”) is a story about litterbox use. Neither of these cats used the litterbox.
