To quote Camus again (The myth of Sisyphos) at the massive risk of appearing intellectually pretentious, “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide” (Of course, there is always the Monty Python alternative of just stating “And now for something completely different).

The load included 173 bear paws, one python skin and the carcass of a pangolin — a type of sticky-tongued, toothless, nocturnal anteater that is a menu item in southern China. I suppose it shows they are making some effort , but it's still a huge problem.

They found 3,640 pounds (1,655 kilograms) of snakes, mostly pythons, and 263 tortoises that weighed a combined 697 pounds (317 kilograms), said Col.

And of course, on a rather rare occasion for this blog, an almost perfect link to the next bird (my favorite transition is still the Monty Python one: “And now for something completely different”).

Meanwhile, until those answers are found, just relax and let Monty Python explain it all. The research doesn’t fully explain why “supernumerary” (as if they were extras in an opera!) sperm are crucial to the development of avian life. But it points to new areas ripe for investigation.

But, to paraphrase Monty Python, every species is sacred. Believe me, after hiking up a mountain in the middle of the night just to catch a glimpse of this bird, I have mixed feelings about whether we even need it in a world with abundant Gray-cheeked Thrush , its more copious counterpart.

And now for something completely different (Monty Python): It seems birds are generally quite adept at matching their plumage color with the plastic objects around them. My possible birdwatching highlight this month was Short-eared Owl at Fengxian. Despite (or because of) its slightly anti-German tone, this owl video is worth seeing.

The entire scene from which that bit of dialogue comes, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail , is one of my favorite scenes ever from a movie. Peasant: She turned me into a newt! Sir Bedevere: A newt? … … … … Peasant: I got better.

Maybe I should have stuck with the classic Monty Python “And now for something completely different” … While Black Drongos usually feed during the daytime, some have apparently shifted their working hours to make use of electric light which attracts insects ( source ). How is that for a pointless link between species?

There is a list of human victims of captive snakes, including a 2-year-old girl who was strangled in her crib by a pet Burmese python who had escaped from its enclosure. In addition to the effects of these invasive species on ecosystems, there are also compelling humane and public safety arguments for restricting trade.

And, certain restrictions should apply, like no pythons or snapping turtles, or similar. People tend to be more social and outgoing and communicative when around animals. Management should check if anyone has allergies before instituting a policy of taking your pets to work.

The Python Caves. The Python Caves, as you’ll recall since you certainly read my article (and in some cases actually did, and even told me so and bought the book!) So let’s revisit that while I consider the 300 dollars its going to take to fix my damn laptop. Egyptian Fruit Bats. This is as close as we got.

struck out on the “common feeder birds” But I’d never had much luck with irruptives in the east — no Common Redpolls , no Bohemian Waxwings , and my quest for a Pine Siskins was a Monty Python farce. And living my life in the same place, I’d find them.

One of my favourite Monty Python sketches involves a rather enthusiastic documentary into the sordid sex lives of the mollusks. Without ever meaning to I’m afraid a similar base article is being written by me right now for you, so please, send the children away, this isn’t suitable for them.

I am not sure what kind of snake it was but I think it was a harmless python. I think that perhaps one of the birds would hit the snake, causing it to twitch, which would make the other think there was some life left in it.

We saw three snakes in two days and one was a very large Black-headed Python moving across the highway as we were unable to slow down sufficiently to photograph it. Cattle can be anywhere! Of course another danger is the presence of snakes and crocodiles!

The other snake was a Carpet Python lying on the trail at Kondalilla Falls. It suddenly appeared behind me as I watched birds come in for an early morning drink and Grant slammed a car door and it then turned. I was not even thinking of photographing it, but how much better it would be further away.

Imperial stouts are big, rich, dark beers that are favorite choices for aging in old spirits barrels, and with that name – an obvious Monty Python reference – I knew I could have a little fun writing the review (Dead parrot, anyone?).
