The dire wolfs of Ecclesiastes

[old3bob]

 

on a different note I remember looking into the eye of a crocodile,  (from a safe platform) and seeing a 99% instinctive  predator in waiting in that dark eye.

ruff ruff and chew chew to hearts delight...  (our little dog likes to attack her large deflated play ball and give it a death like thrashing)

Up to 5,000 is the estimate.  India has something like 3,500.

 

 

Amazing.  I wonder what was on the whale's mind.  Probably something more profound than, "I wonder if I can get a treat from this biped."

   

 

 

Like a hand full of krill       ... I think we can rule that one out .

 

Some whale tour operators have noted that a whale will choose a certain person in a group to interact with ... and ignore others . If the person comes back , the same whale will go back to them for interaction . In one case a Momma whale bought her new baby to meet her 'human friend' .

The wolf who kept eye contact with me for a long time -- can't tell how long -- was also centimeters away, behind bars alas, but up close.  It was incredible every which way, very large, I didn't know they are so large -- it probably weighed fifty pounds more than me, but lean, and even though the fur was very thick, I could tell it's all muscle.  The eyes seemed to glow, the color was like honey mixed with something like moonstone, and so intense.  There were two of them there, I hope they were a married couple.  The second one was pacing close behind the one that was looking at me, just throwing sideways glances, sort of keeping an eye on me.

I remember sitting at a little bar in a Chinese restaurant waiting for a table . Looking at the little 'traditional' plastic altar set up I noticed the incense had a glowing tip, but no smoke . I watched it and it did not burn down .... 

" Excuse me ... is that incense stick electric ? " 

 

Girl on the cash register looks closely   .... " Yes , I believe it is, I never noticed that before  . " 

 

Now, I hesitate to ask ... but what function does electricity have for a Buddha    ? is it 'electro-magnetic levitation ' , or something more ...... 'base' ?

Their direwolf comeback has a chance of working due to them using CRISPR technology.

 

Which is head and shoulders above old technology used to clone Dolly The Sheep.

 

Rather than resurrect wooly mammoths or direwolves, might it not be better to bring back aurochs or another extinct animal with agricultural and economic advantages:

When the Buddha achieved enlightenment he touched the earth.  What is often not mentioned he then connected the live and neutral wires so that his LED aura would light up.

When the genetic research scientists die, can I give the technology to me daughter?

You mean he wasn't touching the earth before enlightenment ?  Just 'floating around' was he  ?
