Another example of water-based enrichment strategies with orcas. Not as cool as the wave pool but it's clear these high pressure water sprayers are a hit with the San Diego pod!

This water pressure would probably knock over a person but clearly the fire hose level high pressure is much more preferred than a normal hose. Since orcas are made mostly of blubber and muscle, it makes sense they need such high intensity pressure.

Tactile enrichment is very important for cetaceans, who are extremely tactile animals. They explore and socialise through touch, you'll also see them rub on rocks and sand to help slough off dead skin in the wild. In human care they get regular massages from trainers, as well as them rolling and rubbing on slide outs and using water spray enrichment like this!

Obsessed with how Hannibal always stands there with his coat over his arms like a proper gentleman. He's all "look at me I'm a fancyboy I'm so mild mannered and kind and humble" baby you literally kill people. You're fooling no one. I need to crush him

#h talks #I mean he is polite and proper and kind but he is also a killer. duality #and he WAS fooling everyone with it too lol #but still #do you guys know what I mean. do you know what I'm talking about #he keeps his hands folded in front of his body like he's talking to royalty or smth like he's so proper #I get why he's like that but WHY IS HE LIKE THAT #nbc hannibal #Hannibal #apologies in advance for how I will be acting. I am going rabid and pacing in my enclosure #I am a captive tiger and he is a meat atuffed pumpkin thats been thrown into my cage for enrichment. yk?

Entity reader’s really got me, I want that existential horror fr

It’s like, I just love being the horror. You are the source of the suffering yet you are the reason they are all gathered. You take and take and take and yet are never satiated. The survivors, the killers, they make sacrifices and are sacrificed to you and receive little in return. They’re human, most of them anyways but you are not. You are the entity.

#it’s just fun you know; you provide a little enrichment for the killers and a little bit of hope for the survivors #and you feed on the trials #both sides hate you but it’s inevitable. you’re a predator and they are the prey #even if you keep them like pets and livestock or hold affection towards them. you can’t expect to understand that you need them #for sustenance. to fulfill yourself. to live #idk the dynamic is fun #mumblings #answered #ask #agremlinchildthatneedscontent

hi. i seriously love what you do on this blog. i love whales and have been open to learning so much about them. i have a smallish question, mostly in regards to seaworld and its adjacent facilities.

what is the purpose of orca whale (and other cetacean) performances in regards to the animal itself? right now assuming it provides mental and physical stimulation, but im wondering if there is a definitive or more thought-out answer.

sorry if this has been answered before by the way. i checked and couldnt seem to find anything. thank you so much in advance!

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

You're correct! Public performances are a form of physical exercise and mental enrichment for the animals, with the added bonus of engaging and hopefully educating the public. While most follow a format or script of some sort, the actual behaviors are different every time to keep it stimulating for the animals, so you can go to the same show over and over again and see something different every time.

Training sessions would still happen without an audience, which is why several parks now call their dolphin shows "narrated training sessions" or something similar, probably to distance themselves from the undue negative perception many now hold toward dolphin shows.

Honestly the place where mascot horror fails is that they think all they have to do is sell toys, but in reality to sell toys you need a fandom. And how do you get a fandom? Easy. Give them characters to ship. It's an infallible technique.

#luly talks #sorry i was thinking of jeff the killer yaoi agian #but honestly like my train of thought is super twisted but like #mascot horror and creepypasta truly arent that different if not for one big foe: capitalism #WHICH IRONICALLY ENOUGH IS THE SAME REASON WHY CREEPYPASTAS CAN BE LIKE THEY WERE ANYMORE #BC THE CREATORS WANT CREDIT AND MONEY AND ETC which is fair but also creepypastas didnt use to be like taht yknow? #kids looove when theres a fucked up guy who then they can see not being fucked up is very enriching #creepypastas literally were the mascot horror of the communists no one owned anything it was our group project we all did fuck all #only thing like that we have is literally scp #and you know why the backrooms doesnt work this same way? #because backrooms stablished IN ITS ORIGIN a specific theme #so if you dont stick to that theme then it feels like it stands out and its yucky #creepypasta and scp are a bunch of little worlds in a same universe who can exist all on their own OR NOT! #also backrooms sucks bc the point of the backrooms was that you ddidnt know wtf was there but whateverrrrrrrrrrr <- hater supreme

today's wordcount is 35,072!

and oh man, I forget how pouring all my creative energy into Writing for a whole month just leaves me itching to draw by the end of it jfdhjgkdfghjkhg. good news for those I've promised art to hahahahaha

this weekend has been unbelievably busy for me and I'm absolutely so out of it and exhausted. forgive me if I'm behind on responding to tags yet again. also forgive me if there are any weirdass typos in this update I am wearing long wacky acrylic nails right now and they feel SO uncomfortable but they're pretty so I allow them

also, good news, exciting news, I'm finally going to get my loan insulin pump next week! the journey has absolutely sucked, my friends, but at least it's almost over! yeeeeeeehaw

I hope you're all doing well!!

today's mood is aqueduct of midbrain and today's jam is "love today" by mika!

today's excerpt is from yesterday's writings actually, I was just too exhausted to update yesterday lol. Alex and Nat only go on one vampire bro murder roadtrip in book two to eat some objectively terrible people. Nat enjoys it and Alex does not; this is fairly standard

honestly it's not a very exciting excerpt to finish on but it's the only recent bit I had at my disposal that didn't need a bucketload of polishing

today's excerpt is,

"Shh," Nat said, his lips almost brushing the microphone. He stifled a silly, cheerful giggle. Though he couldn't pinpoint exactly where the humour in the situation was hiding, he could feel it in there somewhere. "Shhhhh. Ease up. I can't understand you when you're yelling."

The crackling syllables rolling from the radio didn't pause for even a second. So harsh and barking. Rattling at his sensitive eardrums. His own voice had not gotten through.

"Ah," Nat said, peering at the little machine properly this time, his attention wandering down the array of buttons on its face. He jabbed the one that looked the most relevant with a pointed claw and cleared his throat. "You have a dreadful voice. Just terrible, just terrible. Really grates on the ears."

The incessant chatter paused. Nat nodded approvingly, but he'd barely opened his mouth to continue speaking when the noise snarled to life again in a burst of ringing static.

"The fuck are you talking about, Jackson?" the voice barked, slightly clearer now at least. "Why's your voice so—crackly? Are your batteries—look, never mind. There's a situation with Carmen."

Interesting.

Nat flipped the radio playfully round in his hands and abandoned the body on the couch to slump to the floorboards. He tilted his head against the back of the couch and kicked his legs out. This time he did laugh, just shortly, just a little bubble of glee fumbling its way up through his chest. He jabbed his claw back into the button.

"Well, there's no Jackson down here, actually," he replied, an almost lazy drawl to his voice. He felt like he ought to have one of those curly phone cords to twirl around his fingers like Quinn did sometimes. "Only me now."

The reply was instantaneous and glaringly hostile. "Who the hell are you?"

"I'm the vampire that just killed him," Nat said. "Jackson, I mean. And listen, I hate to be a bother, but I'm still kind of peckish. There's another tasty morsel tucked away for me upstairs, yeah? I was told there would be."

There was a short click and the crackling machine went dead.

"Aw." Nat frowned. He leaned forward to peer at it. He jammed his claw into the button a few times. He jammed his claw into all the other buttons, too. He shook the unresponsive thing around, hoping it would make some kind of noise. It did not. "Fine then," he muttered. "Be like that."

He waited a few more moments, relaxing back against the couch, but still keeping his ears tuned towards the stairs for any brush of movement. When nothing heralded the second human's approach, Nat hmphed and gathered himself upright, despite how warm and lethargic he felt. He was still peckish, but only a touch, and trudging upstairs felt like a lot of effort for very little payoff, considering all he wanted to do now was curl up and sleep.

Often, humans were remarkably prone to rushing in to investigate horrific danger firsthand, which was kind of them. If his second course wasn't going to come down to meet him, he supposed he had no choice but to bring the horrific danger upwards instead.

I could fix Mapleshade. With some cat treats, a nice tower to climb and plenty of toys.

#warrior cats #mapleshade #look she's a cat serial killer but she'd be fine with a bit of alternative enrichment

[dont-look-me-in-the-eye]

what would you do if i gave you a pumpkin stuffed with raw meat. would you feel enriched

OH YEAG RAW MEAT

#and pumpkin? Killer combo #i would be enriched in nutrients and salmonella #inbox #opposite-massive

More orca live fish enrichment footage from SeaWorld San Deigo!

Loving this innovative enrichment - this is a great way for guests to observe natural behaviour at the underwater viewing area, while also being very stimulating and exciting for the whales!

Great exercise and keeps them moving underwater and takes the focus off the surface, which is one of my main issues with some cetacean enrichment programs. By keeping all the fun and reinforcing stuff at the surface eg. trainers, food, floating toys, it encourages more surface behaviours like logging, spy hopping and swimming on the surface.

Surface enrichment is easier, logistically, in terms of making sure play is being supervised. Orcas are notoriously good at breaking toys and ingesting any pieces that break off can be a concern. Water pressure can also have impact of the integrity of some toys too.

Live fish enrichment eliminates a lot of these issues with underwater enrichment - hoping to see this in more parks!

Never thought I'd be a podcast guy but I've started one that covers shitty movies and my god. I understand now

#twist rambles #like idk. i have to have multiple sources of enrichment so just listening to shit doesnt do much for me but i like this one... #AND rly if u see a channel that loves ur fave horror movie then you have to. #<- number 1 killer klowns from outer space fan. ive seen it at least 20 times

[viovio]

love watching videos on dbd gameplay discourse and listening to takes that don't matter to me

#speak iza #gives survivors the ability to slam a metal chair on the killers back so the killers could slam them back #enrichment
