Mars Dust
"Odysseus" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Volker Hetzer wrote: Sounds interesting. Can this inference be generalized to all animals that live in groups and have individuals assigned this "watcher" role? Do chimpanzees have watchers in their natural habitat? I don't know for sure, but many groups of social animals have members with such roles. Ground-squirrel colonies have pretty obvious 'sentries' posted when they're out foraging. The point, though, is that the chimp's behaviour was based on some kind of awareness of his comrade's perceptions; I think most animals and birds give their alarm cries instinctually, without considering who really needs warning. You won't see a ground-squirrel doing a head-count before it starts squeaking and flicking its tail as you approach. That's exactly what I was driving at. I was trying to find out how the behavior of the chimpanzee indicated this awareness, whereas similar behavior of other animals does not (indicate awareness). Are there any links on the web to this experiment? Lots of Greetings! Volker |

Moon in Corvus
(Octa Ex) wrote in message ...
On Sun, 20 Jul 2003 20:05:04 -0400, (JOHN PAZMINO) scribed these bits: CS From: Claudio Solis Subject: Moon in Corvus Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 06:48:44 +0000 (UTC) CS Organization: Wanadoo Belgium CS CS Can Moon be in Corvus constellation or just brushing by? CS I guess that applies for Auriga, while Sextans, Cetus, CS Orion, Ophiucus and ??? perhaps some other constellations CS are to be given credit. How can I know for sure if Pluto CS is in Bootes or Coma Berenices? Is there a text about CS "extrazodiacal" constellations and the planets? CS Thanks, Claudio http://puck.dhs.org /extrazodiacal You wrote this some long while ago? Pluto is in Ophichus. Have a look on http://www.heavens-above.com/ here you can get star charts with the planets marked so you can see which constellation its really in. I have been trying to track down Uranus. Also I have located Vesta several times, even when close to the moon. I need binoculars for observing these. Pluto is too dim for me! Pluto is near Eta Ophiuchus There are 88 constellations so there are 76 extra zodiacal constellations. Heavens above also has these listed. Thank you very much! This was a _very_ hečpful link! I have made some effort to categorize myself: http://puck.dhs.org/new.zodiac/new.zodiac.html |
