Peggy, the little wombat will weigh each 30 kg and will have his characteristic clumsy movements, it will be the size of a small piglet… Peggy will surely not be able to keep up with Anzac, but even being clumsy if you need to pick up speed you will have some expertise.

ANZAC, on the other hand it will move much faster and will pop out so efficiently that it can reach high speeds, It will be much higher and they weigh more than her friend the gordita.

What we do know is that luckily, both are herbivores so they will not be a threat to each other or to each other and if their friendship remains they will be able to spend their days together side by side in search of fresh green leaves.

African grey parrots think logically like the children

The gray parrots (Psittacus erithacus), they live in the African jungle, think logically, similar to the monkeys and children from 3 years of age, ensures an investigation published this Wednesday by the University of Vienna and the Scientific Institute 'Konrad Lorenz'.

In the experiment, Austrian scientist Judith Schmidt waves two plastic cups in front of a parrot, one with a nut inside and the other empty. The animal He immediately understands that nutmeg must be hidden under the glass that makes noise.

Then, the scientist shakes only the empty glass and places it next to the other glass on the table, and the animal apparently understands that nutmeg must be under another jar.

Austrian scientists say that gray parrots nut they are always and with the same speed, shaking horizontally the two vessels or only one of them. If no noise comes out of a glass, the animals always deduce that the nut must be in the other, the study concludes. This type of reasoning is only known in monkeys and children over three years of age. A discovery that reminds us of the mythical parrot Alex, that drove a vocabulary of 150 words and changed the conception of animal thought.

Unlike the parrots, the monkeys reach this skill only after intense training, German Shepherd dogs are incapable of reasoning in this way.

The study, which is based on experiments with six animals, of between 10 and 35 years of age, has been published in the British scientific journal 'Proceedings of the Royal Society B'.
