    Blows my mind that so many people just have this hardened internalized idea that we're somehow significantly different than any other animal.

    Sure, we've got them beat on language and planning, but we're currently in the process of being passed up on both those fronts by multi-dimensional arrays of floating point numbers sitting inside of sand. So, like, how special is that then, really?

    "She remained with it for several hours and possibly even days." Interesting article, but that comment veers into speculation. Speculation diminishes the value of a scientific article.

      I'm confused by how that is speculation.

        The key word is possibly. Any statement with possibly in it could be true or false, it is speculation.

    Any parent here who has known this loss can relate. Didn’t think I’d see this on HN but yeah this is heartbreaking.

    Orcas have also been seen to carry their dead calf's around.
