Do Bulls truly hate the color red?

The common depiction in popular media presents a bull as becoming intensely enraged at the sight of the matador's red cloth, charging at it ferociously to tear it and the matador to shreds. But does this really mean that bulls have an aversion to the color red?

#Repost @cannabispharmd ・・・ What do squirrels, bears, and marmots have in common? Hibernation (and an #endocannabinoidsystem )! Recent research suggests that the endocannabinoid system plays a critical role in mediating hibernation in mammals. The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors and molecules that regulate various physiological processes in the body, including appetite, pain, and mood. It has been found that this system is also involved in regulating energy metabolism and body temperature, which are essential for hibernation. Scientists have found that the endocannabinoid system is activated during hibernation, leading to an increased production of endocannabinoids such as anandamide. These endocannabinoids bind to receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues, leading to a decrease in energy expenditure and an increase in fat storage. This allows the animal to survive the hibernation period without depleting its energy reserves. In addition, endocannabinoids have been found to play a key role in regulating body temperature during hibernation. They have been shown to decrease the production of heat by reducing the activity of brown adipose tissue, which is responsible for generating heat in the body. This allows the animal to enter a state of torpor, where their body temperature drops to near freezing and their metabolism slows down. Emerging science also suggests that the endocannabinoid system may play a role in regulating the timing of hibernation. Studies have found that the levels of endocannabinoids in the brain change seasonally, with higher levels present during the hibernation period. This suggests that the endocannabinoid system may play a role in signaling to the animal when it is time to enter hibernation and when it is time to wake up. Overall, the research on the endocannabinoid system and hibernation is still in its early stages, but the findings so far suggest that this system plays a critical role in mediating this complex physiological process. #animalscience #cannabisscience #brownbear #bruin #bears #mammals #bear #grizzlybear (at Bronx Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0vOQ3MbDA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dog Training Fundamentals: Markers

What is a marker? A marker is a specific cue that tells your dog that whatever behavior they were performing was the right choice! They work by creating a correlation between rewards and the marker cue. The dog begins to get excited upon hearing the marker in the same way that they would get excited if you actually showed them the reward! This enables the trainer to tell a dog, "You did great! A reward is coming!" without actually needing the reward in hand. A marker should be a brief, specific cue that is easy to understand and easy for the trainer or handler to replicate. It should ALWAYS be followed by some form of reward. My goal in training is never to remove rewards completely, but to help the dog understand that good behavior will ALWAYS be rewarded, even if not immediately.

A clicker is a common marker choice. Clickers can be purchased online or in most pet stores. Because clickers make the same sound every time, it makes it easy for people beginning to use markers to use it effectively. Many people find it faster to click a clicker than to verbally mark as well, which can help make sure you are accurately marking good behaviors. Using a clicker eliminates any tone changes in your voice that may confuse a dog when using a verbal marker. However, it is recommended that you also condition your dog to a verbal or physical marker in addition to a clicker for everyday use, just in case you have forgotten or misplaced your clicker.

Verbal markers are also common among trainers and owner-trainers alike. "Yes!", "Nice!", "Good!", and "Thanks!" are all good choices. Make sure that whatever cue you use is short and sweet. For example, "Good boy!" is okay, but "Good!" is even better. This will make the cue easy for you to repeat quickly when your dog does well and easier for your dog to understand. When beginning to use a verbal marker, it is important to try to use the same tone of voice every time you use it. If you are using a word you use in daily life, try marking with it only in a high pitched, excited voice. This will make it easier for your dog to differentiate their marker from everyday conversation.

Some dogs perform better for physical cues. When training deaf or hearing-impaired dogs, many owners opt to use a thumbs-up as a marker cue. And for deaf-blind dogs? A nose boop is effective! Other examples of markers may be a mouth click, tongue pop, or even a snap of your fingers. As long as it is the same sound or gesture every time, it will be effective!

Loading a Marker

...is a strategy used to add value to the marker cue. It is especially helpful when working with puppies (imprint that cue just like their name!) or when beginning to use a marker. The procedure is simple: get your dog's attention, use your marker, and immediately follow with a treat, toy, or attention. When loading your marker, reward your dog no matter how they respond to it, whether they get excited or walk away. With repetition, your dog will begin to anticipate the reward after the sound! Test how well your marker has been loaded by using it without getting your dog's attention first. If they immediately look at you or come running for their reward, you know you've done your job!

Stay tuned to learn how to use your newly taught marker cue to teach your dog everything from basic manners to advanced tricks!

Why do guide dogs wear coats but not blind people? 2024

It might seem curious why a guide dog would be sporting a stylish coat while its human companion walks coatless on a chilly day. The answer lies in the different needs and purposes each serves:

1. A Working Uniform: Enhancing the Dog's Performance

Temperature Regulation: Guide dog coats aren't just for show. They can help regulate the dog's body temperature, which is crucial for maintaining focus and stamina while working. In hot weather, a lightweight, breathable coat can prevent overheating. In colder climates, a thicker coat helps retain warmth, allowing the dog to perform comfortably for extended periods.

Visibility and Identification: Some coats have reflective patches or bright colors that enhance the dog's visibility in low light or crowded areas, ensuring the safety of both the dog and its handler. Additionally, coats often display patches or logos indicating the dog is a working animal, prompting others to give them space while on duty.

Protection from the Elements: Guide dogs might encounter various weather conditions during their workday. Coats can offer protection from rain, snow, or debris, keeping the dog comfortable and healthy. This is especially important for maintaining good paw health, which is crucial for their work.

2. Human Comfort and Independence

Climate Control for Humans: Blind people generally have the same ability to regulate body temperature as sighted individuals. They can choose clothing appropriate for the weather to maintain comfort.

Focus on Mobility and Independence: Wearing a coat can sometimes restrict a blind person's freedom of movement, especially when navigating unfamiliar environments. A focus on tactile and auditory cues might require unimpeded arm and upper body movement.

Personal Style and Preference: Ultimately, clothing choices are a matter of personal preference. A blind person might choose not to wear a coat simply because they prefer not to.

3. A Team Effort: Different Needs, Shared Purpose

Partners in Navigation: Both the guide dog and the blind person work together as a team. The dog's coat serves a functional purpose related to its working needs, while the human prioritizes comfort and mobility for efficient navigation.

Mutual Success: Ultimately, the goal is for both the guide dog and the blind person to perform their tasks comfortably and safely. The dog's coat contributes to its well-being and focus, which translates into a smoother experience for the person relying on its guidance.

Function Over Fashion: Why Guide Dogs Wear Coats While Their Handlers Don't

The sight of a guide dog in a bright harness and coat is a familiar one. But have you ever wondered why these canine companions get decked out while their human handlers navigate the world "unclothed"? Here's the breakdown:

Visibility: A brightly colored coat makes the dog more easily recognizable in crowded areas, enhancing safety for both the dog and the handler.

Identification: Some coats might have patches indicating the dog is a working animal or carrying specific information like the handler's disability.

Human Needs vs. Canine Needs: Humans can typically adjust their clothing based on the environment. Guide dogs, however, may not have the same ability to regulate their body temperature or express discomfort.

In conclusion, the seemingly curious difference in attire between a guide dog and its handler stems from their distinct roles. The guide dog's coat is a working uniform, promoting comfort and focus during its essential service. The human companion prioritizes individual comfort and mobility for navigating their environment with the support of their canine partner.

Crows.

Crows are super smart. In fact, they have been known to use traffic to help crack nuts. Crows have been observed dropping nuts in busy intersections, then waiting for cars to drive over them and crack them open. That's not all though, these crows were seen actually waiting for the light to turn red to drop their nut. They fly away when the light turns green, then fly back to get their freshly-cracked nut at the next red light.

Crows mate for life. 'Nuff said.

Crows can remember faces (aka hold a grudge). A group of scientists conducted a study in which they wore masks while capturing and banding groups of crows. The crows learned to recognize the mask as a danger and would scold the person in the mask upon encountering them. Crows that hadn't encountered the mask started scolding as well. Over a five year period, the scolding doubled in frequency and spread almost a mile from the place of origin. Read more about this study on social learning in American Crows, opens a new window.

Crows have regional dialects. Different populations can have differences in their languages, just like people!

Crows hold funerals for the deceased. Ok, so this isn't entirely accurate, but crows have been seen gathered around their dead in the hundreds. Studies have shown this is because they are learning about any potential dangers nearby. Read more about "crow funerals.", opens a new window

Crows have huge brains! They have the largest brain to body ratio of any bird. Their brain to body ration is even bigger than humans. 

Crows can make tools. They are one of only four species that can craft tools: humans, orangutans, chimpanzees and New Caledonian crows. They will find a good stick, sharpen forked twigs into hooks and and use it to scoop larvae and worms from holes in wood.

Crows hide their food. Yeah, squirrels do that too, but crows don't just stash their food away for later. If a crow thinks it is being watched, they sometimes pretend to hide food in their cache, but secretly keep it tucked in their feathers and bury it in another cache far away. Tricky right? Until you find out the crow that was watching the sneaky crow was being sneaky themselves and followed them to the real cache. Because crows know they are little tricksters. 

One more fun fact: A murder of crows is the poetic name for a group of crows, not the scientific name. Most scientists don't use that term; they would refer to them as a flock.
