Oh, I thought they turned a blue whale skeleton upside down . .

"Ms. Blue" skeleton outside the Long Marine Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

"Ms. Blue" is one of the largest blue whale skeletons displayed in the world and is one of four blue whale skeletons displayed in North America. The whale is 18 ft (5.5 m) tall and 87 ft (27 m) long, and was not fully grown when she washed ashore at Fiddlers Cove near Pescadero on September 6, 1979.

Re post #8571: The male is feeding here, the other one looks to be the female incubating her (?) eggs, as she looks too adult to me to be a nestling.

[ . . . . ]

Social monogamy seems to be more common than sexual monogamy. Social monogamy refers to the male bird’s role in parenting. In most songbird species, the male defends a nest and territory, feeds his incubating mate, brings food to nestlings and feeds young fledglings. In some species, especially when the male and female look alike, the male will even incubate eggs. Social monogamy is when a male bird is actively involved in nesting and rearing the young.

But genetic testing of songbird nestlings, even in socially monogamous species, shows that the father who sired them isn’t necessarily the one who is helping to rear them. In other words, a socially monogamous female songbird sometimes “cheats” on the male with whom she has a bond. And her socially monogamous mate may have fathered eggs in other nests.

Sometimes a female bird carrying an egg fathered by her bonded mate, will lay that egg in a different nest of the same species. So when you happen upon a songbird nest full of eggs — even of a socially monogamous species — you can’t be sure who is the biologic father — or mother — of those eggs.

It’s a soap opera in your own backyard.

Foster parenting makes sense considering one predator finding your nest is a rally bad day. So even birds don't put all their eggs in one basket.

For a sad reason (thread: MV Conception - dive boat fire) I've looked at the Santa Barbara County Sheriff Office website, saw some nice dogs there, at least the first one looks to be a mix breed . .
