The Frogs of the Well
Once upon a time, during an unusually hot summer with no rain, ponds and lakes began to dry up. The fish in the lakes struggled helplessly and many began to die. The herons, seeking water, started heading toward the river where countless fish lived. One heron caught a plump, fresh fish in its beak and flew off, planning to perch on a tree and enjoy its meal. However, the fish was strong and flapped vigorously, freeing itself from the heron’s beak and falling downward.

Why Pet Collars Matter More Than We Think
Domestic animals read the world through continuity. A collar or ID tag may look trivial to a human, but to a dog or a cat it can operate as an identity object.

The Lost Penguin
The first time I saw the penguin, it wasn’t in a zoo or on a nature show. It was on my feed—just one lone bird, walking away from the colony, slow and deliberate, as if it had decided the world outside its group was where it belonged. And for some reason, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
