Learners notes: Day 7
One hooter week into my observation of these hooters and I noticed the strangest thing. A flat hooter and a lumpy hooter pressing their mouths together. Alerted to this behavior, I began pay attention for it, finding more than I ever thought o...

The hooters are the same species!
I made this realization when I spotted some very small hooter prisoners take off their lower coverings and defecate on the side of the arena. The lumpy hooter they were with hooted at them in a rather aggre...

Today I learned that hooters will deliberately poison themselves for some reason. Spent the entire day in a place where hooters did nothing but poison themselves. I dont see the appeal, but it seemed as if some hooter felt better afterwards, wh...

The hooters separate each other, and yet do not consume them, choosing instead to push their still mass into the downspace from which we had emerged. Perhaps there was some kind of territorial dispute? This seems to be the root of the iss...
