I'm completely new to this, so for the first interesting thing I'll post, it'll be my ultimate goal.

Do elephants call "human!"?
African elephants make a specific alarm call in response to the danger of humans, according to a new study of wild elephants in Kenya.

Are plants more intelligent than we assumed?

Plants are also able to make complex decisions. At least this is what scientists from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the University of Göttingen have concluded from their investigations on Barberry (Berberis vulgaris), which is able to abort its own seeds to prevent parasite infestation. The results are the first ecological evidence of complex behaviour in plants. They indicate that this species has a structural memory, is able to differentiate between inner and outer conditions as well as anticipate future risks, scientists write in the renowned journal American Naturalist —the premier peer-reviewed American journal for theoretical ecology.

Just another day for @Ruth, terrorizing the populace.

Considering that @Ruth is Rajamala...I like to think of this .gif as a depiction of whenever she weighs options in her mind?

Tyrannoruth: We need to buy new execution devices.

Catruth: BUT I'VE BEEN SAVING ALL MY MONEY FOR A NEW KITTY BELL COLLAR.

Tyrannoruth: What the f...gnodab, Catruth? I thought we agreed to buy the bulk-order thumbscrews BEFORE the kitty bell!

Catruth: No! RUTH WANT CAT BELL!

Tyrannoruth: NO, THUMBSCREWS!

Catruh: BELL!

Tyrannoruth: THUMBSCREWS!

@Ruth in reality:

@Jurixe: Uh, boss, you're spacing out for a sec-

@Ruth: THUMBELL-! *catches herself*

@Orzaansyn: ...ina?

Cue deathsight of Orzaansyn, devoured by Ruth.
