It very effectively forms a small foraging group in this manner.

Today, I bring you an equally lavish look at a group bipeds that are perhaps a little more confusing: people. But not, mind you, on any shelf of popular science or ornithological memoir. But on its own terms, this is a very engaging attempt to straddle the two cultures of arts and sciences, and in those terms I hope that it will soar.
