An interesting black & white manga that we somehow missed last year… Now it’s being re-published in English by Kodansha Comics and Random House. In Animal Land (written and illustrated by Makoto Raiku) we are introduced to an alternate earth inhabited by only non-human animals. After losing her family to vicious predators, a tanuki (raccoon dog) named Monoko makes an amazing discovery in a river: A human baby! Now this strange, unknown creature will grow up among the animals and will soon begin to display amazing powers. Volume 1 was released in August, and Volume 2 is coming up soon in October. Here’s a review at Good Reads.

It looks like we can add hyenas to the list of animals that can count. In fact, hyenas can count nearly as well as primates, a sure sign that these carnivorous predators are unusually intelligent. This is caused by their sophisticated, hierarchical societies in the wild.

Hyenas are among the few animal species to have unusually-complex social groupings, to the point where scientists consider them “societies” instead of packs.

Let’s face it, hyena fans: hyenas usually get a bum rap, being called stupid, or “laughing idiots” from their laugh-like barks and calls (some of the blame on this may lie with Ed from The Lion King).

However, researchers have repeatedly demonstrated the cognitive abilities of hyenas rival those of monkeys. New research from Michigan State University suggests hyena intelligence evolved as a means for the spotted & striped predators to keep track of their social groups.

This is where the ability to count comes in: they responded not just to the number of whoops from ‘intruders’, but to the number of unique calls. If this sounds familiar, it should, because wolves use their howls in a similar way: to maintain contact with far-flung members of their packs, and to determine any potential intruders into their pack’s territory. Despite having an outwardly canine appearance (thanks to convergent evolution, as they occupy a similar position in the food chain), hyenas are actually far closer in genetics to mongooses and felines.

The study did not mention if the hyenas were in the process of evolving into gnolls or wereyenas.

I'm thinking about picking up some of the cards for my birthday, because the last con I went to had a tournament and I wanted to participate, but didn't have any cards XD Anyways, do any of you have any experience with this game at all?

If you’ve been following this season of The Guild – an online Situation/Drama/Comedy that revolves around the lives of a group of gamers as they interact online and in person, you will have noticed a mysterious brown Canine fursuit stalking one of the characters.

In the first few minutes of the new episode, the mystery fursuiter is revealed as WIL WHEATON. Wil Wheaton, former child star from Star Trek: The Next Generation, geek blogger and now adult geek star (currently appearing in Eureka on SyFy) has had an at-times very vocal disdain for the Furry Fandom and fursuiters in particular, stemming from an incident at a convention where a fursuiter violated his personal space in an unwanted way.

I'm seeing enough submissions where people will intentionally upload to imgur and put the original artist's username in the title because they know where it came from, and I personally would prefer to throw up a comment or favorite for the artist specifically without having to dig through sites for someone's gallery, especially if the submission doesn't even have the artist in the title.
