I remember cringing when my miniature burro had her baby.
It appeared to be almost half her size(!), with a full large set of teeth & those sharp hooves.
Ouch?
I about lost it when I witnessed her do a full extension kick to keep the father away less than 24 hours following the birth (I added a photo of it with my story during a fundraiser here a few years back). Critters are tough!
Calves, horses, llamas, etc. Same thing.
I hadn’t heard that about jackals before. Wow.
Makes me happy to be a female human.
That tiny swordfish is adorable. Had no idea they were born with their sword already so big in comparison to their body!

There Is Growing Segregation In Millennial Wealth Baby boomers and Gen Xers have faced their fair share of calamities stagflation, the double-dip recession of the 1980s, disco but millennials have had it really rough. Millennials who got college degrees exited school deep in debt and entered a job market ravaged by the Great Recession. Millennials who didn’t get college degrees found it harder to get a well-paying, blue-collar job, after trade and automation closed avenues that past generations had used to get to the middle class. Child-rearing and first-home-buying years interrupted by a pandemic, all the while slogged through an economy muddied by growing inequality, stagnation and a fading American dream. (NPR)
