Visited the horses today
Picrel is one sucking on a scotch mint, got to see a horse get excited (nickering) with someone bringing empty containers over and upset too (aloof) when nopony had treats to give them from the containers.
I got a copious amount of horse spores too.

They do convey a lot of emotion, was funny to witness the horse that got upset nickering in excitement before getting disappointed and a bit moody when nopony treats were left (lots of kissu applied to snoot to help remedy this)

Mine only shits in his designated shitting areas. His wheel, his playpen, and his poop tray beneath his wheel.

Sometimes (very rarely) he doesn't reach them quickly enough and hides his face in shame. He had an accident on me once (he was a baby still) and was absolutely mortified for days.

Hedgehogs are very sensitive and see their owners as their parents, if you raise them patiently and treat them with respect. You can't raise them the way you would raise a cat or dog. They act more like very young very autistic human children.

I read somewhere that they don't have paddles, but instead propel their canoes using long poles that strike the reef bottom. Is this true? If it is, they can't leave the island on their own.
>>
>>5147608
They can, but they choose not to. Likely because of outsiders scaring the pants off of them so bad they developed a spiritual complex about everything outside the island being a threat.

What makes me more keen on this idea is that they've buried gifts we've given them, from the other islands history it's very likely they also still bury their own dead like they did pre isolation.

If they wanted to, they unironically could just leave. But year after year, they don't. So to me thats clear theres a fear or moral aversion to leaving.

According to Maurice Vidal Portman who went there in 1880 (before the Sentinelese went "kill all intruders"), it seems largely unremarkable.
>Bulletwood and Malabar silk-cotton trees
>Indian boars which are apparently a major food source going from reports of piles of pig skulls near one of their villages
>Coconut crabs, sharks, sea turtles and dolphins were also reported at various other times

>>5146760
That's awesome because it means they'll not be curb stomped by a datacenter kek. Rip the Qing Dynasty Giant Muscle and the world's oldest tree. Being found killed them. I do hope someday some of the natives can be gigavaxxed into not immediately dying on human contact with us or our contaminated stuff. Wonder if you could have a tiny area for outside contact from a distance a nearby island as a relay point between allowed people. But the no contact full stop does protect them, sadly current Indian government has shown willingness to destroy natives nearby and nature for easy money... I fear for the contacted sentinelese and adaman tribes they don't have many people to begin with so Modi's plan scares me we'll lose them and the cool land they had for tourism slop and landfills.
