— Ace You dummies are really taken with @comradearthur's stupid flying squids.
You're missing the real headline -- Fossas! (They appear as the heroes late in the clip.)
Fossas prove the theory which I, a latecomer to the whole Naturalism game (but out of the gate with very solid work), have developed:
Any animal where you go "what the hell is that?" is some form of weasel.
Always. There are no exceptions.
Fisher? What the hell is that?
Per the Ace Rule of Non-Identifiable Mammals: It's a form of weasel.
Bang, you just impressed your friends.
No exceptions. "Weasel" is the "Other" category of animals. If it's not clearly something else it's a weasel.
Zen and the Flight of Squirrels: Not as cool as fossas, and not a type of weasel, but cooler than those dumb non-flying squids you can't get enough of.

Squirrels. They've been zealously guarding their privileged positions as 'innocuous furry-things what really run the show.'
Don't look a squirrel in the eye now. They might now you're on to them.

Sorry for the "broad brush" but my kid being told he was probably epileptic because he passed out from the heat? My dad's best friend in the AF was the head of the hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany back in the day. No hating on military docs as a whole, but as a little girl, I nearly died under one's care.

Jane,
There are four types of military docs:
1. Those who need Uncle Sam to pay off their student debt (pray you get one of these).
2. Those running from malpractice cases and/or their 'high-risk' malpractice insurance is no longer affordable.
3. Those who graduated from the Zimbabwe School of Medicine (a grueling 2-week course)....English-speaking ability optional.
4. Outstanding doctors who just want to serve their country and don't mind taking half pay (or less). Probably under 2% of total.

No worries Jane- Just like anything else, there are some very good military docs and some really crappy ones. My daughter was treated with ultimate disrespect by a supposed expert in his field at a university hospital and told that she should wear long dresses to cover up her crooked legs.
A fine orthopedic surgeon at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver later operated on those legs and gave her a new level of function that she could only imagine prior to that. And an endocrinologist in the Army took great care of her also.
Plus Mrs. Muldoon was so impressed with army docs that she married one.

The worst of these bills have the effect of banning all rifle-barreled shotguns, numerous rifles and handguns, most rifle ammunition, and magazines that hold over 10 rounds. Ammunition sales would be severely restricted, logged and reported to the State Police, and internet and catalog sales would be banned.

In the meanwhile, everyone in the South, Southwest, and flyover country would be shooting those fuckers out of the skies. And having incredible calamari feasts.
