You are made to live as a kind of house-pet for one week. You are well taken care of and loved, but you are unable to communicate to the person taking care of you that you are a person. What is your reaction?

smoking inside is okay if you do it with a pure heart and good intentions. if you think good thoughts you will produce "good smoke" as a byproduct which is actually extrordinarily healthy for humans

In south-western Germany, a territorial single male golden jackal (Canis aureus) was repeatedly photographed showing social interaction with a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) female and her cubs. This unusual behaviour was documented in two subsequent years (August–September 2020 and May–August 2021). The interspecific actions are not limited to encounters of the two species but include interactions such as feeding and related sociopositive behaviours. Thirty-two observations with both species appearing together were recorded within the study period. The observed behaviour raises questions about the coexistence of both species and on interspecific behaviour of wild canids in general. Social isolation of the observed male golden jackal could be one of the potential drivers for the interaction, as Germany is at the current edge of golden jackal distribution in central Europe.

Just came across this incredible study! Golden jackals have typically always been seen as being competitors with foxes and pushing out/killing them in the same way coyotes do to foxes in America. So to see this kind of friendly social interaction is amazing. Inter-species friendships like this are always fascinating.
