Our eyes match color.

 

Take double care of that one Hoyt !

 

For sure! The other one's a mess!

 

Turns out we're not the only heterochromiaists Hoyt, I'll think I'll stick to it, even now that I know what it is . .

‘‘ Symptoms: different or partially different eye colour — Duration: life-long — Treatment: iris implant surgery (controversial for cosmetic purposes) ’’

 

It's a trait not a disease. Happy to keep the trait.

 

You saw the Santa Maria Manuela for real in 2018 and remembered a video posted here in 2014, or found it back ?

I didn't remember till I saw the start, it was for sure worth rewatching, thanks for the pics and the vid and the reposted one !

It also made me relook to the posts in the #5398 ~ #5399 region, didn't even see the reposted video there, so thanks again !

But did find a link to the one below there . .

 

How I found it back tip, click the "Search Forums" button near the upper left corner of this page ‘‘Santa Maria Manuela’’ isn't mentioned so often on these forums.

 

It seems we are well supplied with urban foxes in the UK - estimates at 15000 in London, 150000 across the country:

Foxes surge into England's towns and cities https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/16/urban-foxes-number-one-for-every-300-residents-study-suggests

Years ago, walking home from a gig in Bristol, I remember watching a pair of foxes *inside* a mercedes showroom, walking from car to car, sniffing about, apparently intent on buying one.

 

Although Urban Wild Boar are not yet a huge issue in the UK,

It is likely that they soon will be.

But not yet on the scale seen in Texas:

2.6 million in texas. we have 24 million feral pigs in australia. thats almost 1 pig per human.

 

Sheesh. I'll not fret too much about our 4000 odd, then.

Razorback (the movie) wasn't as far fetched as I imagined then?

 

yes, i knew we had a lot but not that many. i googled it after reading your post. down here in victoria feral deer are a becoming a major problem at the moment. after the black saturday bushfires there has been so much food in the regenerated forest and pastures that they have bred up more than usual over the last ten years.

 

They seem to be fond of Mercedes, in Heemskerk in the Netherlands they partly took over a second hand car dealer, and between July 2009 and March 2019 they've kicked out all the classic USA cars, so they were gone in June 2019, and now they seem to focus somewhat on Mercedes, regular inspecting them at night, I believe...

And Mini by BMW of course . . .

 

I'm glad for the deer, and those who eat them, thanks for the update from after the fires !

 

BACON!
