Weasel wins out over physisists

[Catherine]

There are some very clever creatures out there. Jackdaws are smart, but you should see some of our gulls.  They can get you lunch right off the picnic table if you are not careful.  A gull tipped my water bottle over in  my direction  and made a grab for my pizza slice. He only failed because I like to keep the cap on my water bottle and I had seen this gull in action. I grabbed my slice as he made a grab for it and I was quicker.

I can imagine where the Jackdaw got the baguette.
I have seen a squirrel with a whole donut. Who knows where he got that from.

Every day animals watch us and our food. They are always ready to make a grab for something they want.

When I was a child my friend pulled her hotdog away from her cat. She held it up over her shoulder and as she did this her waiting dog just opened her mouth and ate the whole thing. One gulp and it was gone. Perhaps the cat and dog were working together.
