  • Just wondering, are those a baby deer and an adult bunny? One of those pics was on another community and there's some debate, but I can't help thinking the deer's a little closer to faun than adult.
    Read more

  • The pictures weren't staged. The accompanying German text on these pages explains how the fawn's mother was killed shortly before it's birth and the fawn was then raised in a rural town with help from townspeople (this part is not so clearly explained). The wild rabbit showed up one day. At first the two just grazed in the same area and after a while got closer until they became "friends". They grazed together and kept each other company the whole day, the rabbit built a nest next to the deer instead of burrowing and other cute stuff like that. The author (who is also the photographer) mentions that the two could have formed this friendship to be able to better protect themselves from predators by warning each other and also the deer helped the rabbit have easier access to food in the winter.

    The rest of the story is available here in German.
    http://www.tanja-askani.de/info/?p=18

    Spoiler:
    Eventually when the fawn was old enough it was sent to a park where it would be released into the wild. The second to last picture shown here, shows how after the fawn had been anesthetized for easier transport and despite strange humans being around, the rabbit went up to the deer and supported its sleepy head "as if it were saying goodbye"

  • You're kidding?!!!!
    It died????

    Being the pet of 2 bunnies I know they have short memories and separating 2 rabbits doesnt appear to be as stressful (for the rabbits) as we think it is.
    Read more

  • original text from the page of the photographer: "In der Nähe von unserem Garten lebt eine kleine Population von Wildkaninchen. Nachdem Finchen aus unserem Garten umgezogen ist, hat sich das Kaninchen dieser Gruppe angeschlossen". Translated from German it sais: "Near by our garden (the place where bambi - whose actual name is "Finchen" - once lived) there is located a small population of wild rabbits. Since Finchen has moved out of our garden the thumper has joined them." Happy ending! :)
    Read more

  • I know it!!!! ^_^
    Read more

  • The page also explains that they wanted to take the bunny along with the deer, but that it would have been a death sentence; in a strange territory he would not know any hiding places, and the first fox would have eaten him.

  • Oh, I am going to cry. Why on this planet are all beautiful things accompanied by such sadness? I hope someone took care of the rabbit after it lost its deer friend. I hope it's true that rabbits have short memories and that this adorable bunny didn't succumb to grief, but went on and returned to the other wild bunnies. Wish there was some follow up on this. I am so sad over this.

    sounds good to me... Now if only someone could figure out how to to all that insufferable heat they have in the south and west every summery. Imagine converting so much solar energy to electricity or hot water that the ambient temperature went down one degree...after all, dissimlar metals release electricity when in contact under heat...

  • You don't even mention the idea of Nuclear power... A lot of people worry about the waste, but the fact of the matter is that it's been thought through and it's not a problem. You can eat Uranium cake (the byproduct of nuclear reactions, 99.7% pure uranium) by the spoonful and it won't harm you for years. One scientist even offered to do so until the environmentalists allowed the opening of Yucca mountain's nuclear waste storage facility. This isn't just a waste storage facility, there's also future hopes of refining the uranium cake into more fuel for future use (technology right now doesn't exist, but it may in the future, that's why we keep the stuff). Transportation is also non-hazardous. They shot the storage containers with rockets and they survived, what more do you want?

    What about Chernobyl and 3 mile island? 3 mile island was an almost-fuck-up. The most radiation _anyone_ encountered was about that of a chest x-ray (and spread out over a longer period of time). As for Chernobyl, that was a shitty reactor, even by soviet Russia's standards. IIRC, they used liquid graphite instead of water for reactor cooling. Water, as it heats up, makes the reaction less reactive. Graphite, when heated up, makes the reaction _more_ reactive. No wonder the thing melted down.

    I'm not even going to get environmental impacts (you think fish like those turbines at all?), the scalability (how many solar panels will you need to power the US?), the cost, and the waste products (think: solar panels) of manufacturing items needed for each method of power generation. I'll leave that up to you for your own research.

    Cold fusion, the holy grail of power generation, is a ways off still (Tokamak is a joke and a money hole). But until then, lets not run around like chickens with our heads cut off. Please oh please run the numbers before we panic about stuff like this.

  • All I can say is WOW! Great post. Complete and excellent. Where did you gat all those cool pictures? Keep up the good work. We need to keep the word out there so our people and our government stay on track. Hopefully oil prices will remain high and interest in alternative and renewable energy will also remain high. The shortage of wind turbines is disturbing but hopefully that will change as soon as they catch up with demand.
