Thanks for confirming what I observed! Funny how I never saw anything as specific as the decapitation behaviour in what research I could find.
Sad to see? Well, in human terms, yes. But I’m sure you agree that when it comes to animals, we all need to spend more time understanding and observing than judging everything from the human context.
And that leads back to a topic I added last week:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/does-behaviour-count-as-an-observation-why-or-why-not/32477
I have no idea in what format or how behavioural data would or should be collected by ‘amateurs’. But I do believe it’s pretty vital to us achieving a much better understanding of the living world.
Thanks again for sharing that story. And welcome to the forums!
