Started here but ended up there.

 

I was watching trail cam footage on YouTube because I enjoy seeing animals wandering free in nature.  I noticed this one coyote, after going to the bathroom, bracing his front feet and with his back feet and claws vigorously push dirt and leaves over the area he had just used.

I understand why we have lids on toilets, but what is it within the animal that tells them to cover up their activity?

And it isn’t just coyotes.  They all do it.  Can this universal activity be associated with DNA?  That would seem a stretch.  There is some internal programming they are all born with, but how and why?

For the longest time I wanted to find the reason why animals play.  They all seem to do that as well.  It isn’t always the same type of animal playing together.  I have seen a small deer playing with a dog.  It was truly enjoyable to watch.  Neither one cared what the other was, they were just having fun.

If there is a specific gene associated with this behavior, then just maybe science will eventually be able to splice this gene into mankind, replacing the war gene, and if it is a dominant gene it might override the greed gene, removing government all together.

 

Just a thought

So Right - we should bottle up that gene so we can take a sip or two when we get older!
