Earth Families - Earth Life

[rixxmixxhell]

O.k. We have been discussing Animal and Plant life.

Here you can post pictures relating to Animal Family Groups and Plants,
with relevance to

consciousness, intelligence, and form.

Try to get something that shows relationship, friendship between species, ecological wonder.

Birds clean off Mammalian Ticks, Fish clean other Fishes Teeth...Bird Species raise other Bird species Chicks, Some Plants are Animal.

Care to share......

P. S - this Thread is for the ones who want a brake from Negative things.

To start it off.....

Sea Life - All species and Forms

Sea Slugs are able incorporate chloroplasts of algae into their bodies and use these plant products to convert sunlight into energy. Is it a Plant, is it a Gastropod?? It's neither.....

Plants.

Giant Plant.

Rafflesia and Titan arum both are giant flowers. They give off the rotten smell, like a cadaver, the odor’s function is for attracting beetles and flies to do pollinating.

animals are mere extensions of their coral reefs and rainforests

What is most interesting is the link that all matter of life have to each other, prey rely on predation, there is no good and evil.

These are systems that we can utilize for our own uses to a far greater length than the no-think agri-think of corporations and the USDUHHHH

Excellent. Can you post a moderate diary post in forum members section for us to read. As some of us would be interested to how it fared, and what you learned.

Symbiosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You've got this:
http://world.std.com/%7Eeva/guatemala/agouti.jpg

To thank for this:

http://www.rain-tree.com/Plant-Images/Bertholletia_excelsa_p1.jpg


Once the Brazil nut pods are formed, the tree then depends on the agouti, a rodent, to distribute and actually plant the seeds. The agouti is one of the few animals capable of chewing through the very hard pod to reach the nuts inside. Agoutis scatter and bury the nuts for future consumption, but some nuts manage to sprout and grow into mature trees.

The humble earthworm
http://www.cheshirewildlifetrust.co.uk/IMAGES/watch_earthworm.jpg

In that picture, i just see beauty. When i do gardening, i rescue everyone living thing i can.

I have 4 composts and nothing would work without the Humble Worm.

Pick one up if you see it drying out ;) It will repay you by turning your soil, airing it and making casts of pure nutrients for you to collect in the morning.

Depending on the species of the worm you have, you may have lots of casts or none in your garden. It's not hard to identify the differing species. All 2,700 of them. This can help you design better composts. Do people still chuck away organic matter!?


Worm Casts on Soil
http://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/profiles1001/images/worm_cast.jpg

Worms work together with bacteria to condensate nutrients into the roots of plants, that in simple terms, allows the nitrogen and carbon cycle to continue.

Anatomy - Mating - Egg Laying
http://vermica.com/articles/images/15sexworm.gif

Earthworms derive their nutrition from many forms of organic matter in soil including decaying plant parts, decomposing remains of animals, and living organisms such as nematodes, protozoans, rotifers, bacteria and fungi.
They can produce their own weight in castings every 24 hours.

During the digestive process, insoluble minerals are converted to a plant-available soluble form and long-chain molecules such as cellulose are partially broken down by bacteria in the digestive tract.

Fresh earthworm casts are richer in available nitrogen, phosphates and potash than the surrounding topsoil.

Worm castings also contain many beneficial bacteria and enzymes. The analysis of castings that the number of beneficial bacteria in the ejected worm casting is much higher than in the material ingested.

Notice the ''Crop'' and ''Gizzard'' as Birds have (both Passerines and non-Passerines)...There's your evidence of common ancestry.

I absolutely love your pictures Might. I actually try to create them environments, and your pictures show great ecology that is a wonderful, beautiful. I want to work in conservation that plants or encourages these ecologies for animal habitat, but also for the plants/flowers etc themselves.

I wish to use my life to create these environments, when i see a pond, i have to lay next to it and poke my head into it and look at whats in there!!! And when i come across areas like your pictures, i can't help but looking at it and it make me feel great. :)

As the thread title was, I'm glad you posted these and mountain posted fruits, soon i will post more pictures that show relationships between trees, birds, flowers - the best i can in a pictures.

We still have lots to post, showing all the great and the small.

Thanks!

LONDON - Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled "Humans" at the London Zoo.
http://www.animalliberationfront.com/News/2005_8/llondon_zoo_people.jpg
http://www.animalliberationfront.com/News/2005_8/Humans_in_Zoo.jpg




"Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment" read the sign at the entrance to the exhibit, where the captives could be seen on a rock ledge in a bear enclosure, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves. Some played with hula hoops, some waved.

Visitors stopped to point and laugh, and several children could be heard asking, "Why are there people in there?"

London Zoo spokeswoman Polly Wills says that's exactly the question the zoo wants to answer.

"Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals ... teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate," Wills said.

The exhibit puts the three male and five female "homo sapiens" amid their primate relatives. While their neighbors might enjoy bananas and a good scratch, these eight have divided interests, from a chemist hoping to raise awareness about apes to a self-described actor/model and fitness enthusiast.

For others, the aping around is just another forum for rampant exhibitionism and self-promotion.

Pointing at one heavy muscled and gleaming body on the ledge, one visitor joked that the zoo should consider a breeding program.

"You can tell why some people came here, like the big muscly men who clearly like parading around in thongs," said Damien Largey, 23.

Melissa Wecker, 21, was disappointed that the humans were wearing swimsuits beneath their fig leaves. "They're not doing anything. It looked lots better on the news," she complained.

Tom Mahoney, 26, decided to participate after his friend sent him an e-mail about the contest as a joke. Anything that draws attention to apes, he said, has his support.

"A lot of people think humans are above other animals," he told The Press. "When they see humans as animals, here, it kind of reminds us that we're not that special."

Mark Ainsworth, 21, heard about the Human Zoo on the news.

"I've lived in this country for nine years and have never come to a zoo," said Ainsworth. "This exhibit made us come to the zoo. Humans are animals too!"

Like the rest of their caged neighbors, the humans had a variety of toys to keep them entertained — board games, music, paints, and balls.

They are being treated as animals, complete with keepers, but are allowed to go home each night at closing time.

When visitor Peter Bohn, 42, saw the "animals" juggling, he stopped and had a good laugh.

"It's hilarious," he said. "It turns everything upside down. It makes you think about the humans in relation to the animals."

After three hours, Mahoney is still having fun except for when the wind picks up. But, he added, "I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it."

Human interest at London Zoo

http://www.animalliberationfront.com/News/2005_8/Humans_in_Zoo1.jpg

London Zoo has unveiled a new exhibition - eight humans prowling around wearing little more than fig leaves.

The 'Human Zoo' is intended to show the basic nature of human beings, over the bank holiday weekend.

"We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," a London Zoo spokesman said.

The scantily-clad volunteers will be kept amused with games and music.

"I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up, it's no worse than a swimming pool," said volunteer Simon Spiro, 19, from New Malden, Surrey.

Spiro, selected from dozens of hopefuls in an Internet competition, said he was excited by the prospect of monkeying around on the zoo's Bear Mountain.

"I'm a veterinary student so the idea of working for a zoo was something that appealed to me.

"I'm not worried by the fact it might be cold and rainy. I've brought pocket Scrabble in case we're bored."

[mightiswrong]

The problem with the term human (as in human being) is that it not only suggests a formation of the
species from matter, or earth (compare: humus — the organic constituent of soil), but is associated with
lowly concepts (from humus come words like humble, humility etc.); besides, the word human is essentially
an adjective, not a noun, even though commonly used as a noun in today’s English.
On the other hand, chelovek is derived from two Old Russian words indicating ‘mind’ or ‘thinking’
(chelo < lob) and ‘eternity’ or ‘time’ (vek). And, interestingly enough, the English word man has a
similar derivation, in this case from the Proto-Indo-European root men-, signifying ‘mind’, ‘thinking’ or
‘intelligence’ (cf. our contemporary English word mental). It was not until approximately the eleventh century C.E.8 that the word man in Germanic languages became narrowed in focus to denote primarily
an adult male; by the late thirteenth century it had all but squeezed out the earlier term for ‘male’ — wer
(cf. Latin vir, echoed in modern words like virile).9
On the basis of Anastasia’s sayings as presented by the author in the whole series, it may be seen that
a constriction of overall human thought has been reflected in a narrowing of the meaning of man, which
originally — like Russian chelovek and German Mensch even today10 — designated all humanity, both
men and women, as thinking, intelligent beings.
At one point, realising that some readers would take exception to the use of man (on the grounds
that, in today’s usage, at least, it seems to exclude half the total number of sentient, thinking beings on
the planet), we contemplated using the word chelovek in transliteration for this purpose. However, we
decided this alternative was outweighed by (a) the feeling of exclusion many readers would experience
at being described by a foreign word appearing so frequently throughout the book (almost one per page,
on average) and (b) the opportunity to rediscover the original meaning of an English word whose usage
has been constricted and corrupted over the past ten centuries.
It is interesting to note that from the eleventh to nineteenth centuries in Russia the word chelovek
itself suffered the same fate as the English word man — largely confined to designating male human
beings (often male servants or slaves in particular). It was only in the twentieth century that its original,
universal sense made a comeback of sorts among the population at large to refer to — in most contexts,
at least — both men and women equally. This offers hope that in time its English counterpart man may
meet with a similar restoration of its original sense.
Hence it was decided to translate chelovek, wherever appropriate to the context, by the term Man
with a capital M, not only in an effort to retain the association of the term with a divine (as opposed to
a material, earthly) origin, but also to draw upon the original, uncorrupted meaning of the word man as
a manifestation of ‘eternal Mind’ — implied in the etymology of the Russian term chelovek. So let all
readers of this book be put on notice: whenever you see Man with a capital M, this includes you.

thank you for the brilliant post mightiswrong!

i must tell you what has happened with my personal experience regarding thei use of the word MAN and HUMAN.

Since i am a graphic designer and worked very closely with WWF in many of their projects for several years, i came to the knowledge of the UN's change reagrding the use of MAN vs HUMAN.

WHen we were editing books and brochures and flyers etc, WWF was instructed that it was now POLITICALLY CORRECT to use HUMAN instead of MAN, exactly becasue MAN nor mally wouold refer to MALE people and HUMAN includes both MAN and WOMAN. this happened 4 years ago, or maybe five...

yes, "vek" translates as CENTURY. Chelovek, since i have been aware always refered to HUMAN exclusively. MAle and Female is used in the context it has. MUZHCHINA: means male or MAN and ZHENSCHINA: woman or female. All depends in what context you apply. this makes the russian language actually very diversified. it has been consodered one pf the most diversified on the planet. you can find ten denominations for the same object. when used in specific context, a specific term will be applied. but each are synonims. ths makes poems very rich too. Pushkin is known to be very famous exactly for using the russian language fully, not to mentin his genius personality. ehehe, Pushkin was actually a descendant from Africa! his curly hair was one of such indications.
