Ever wonder what turkeys do between the holidays?
Well, you shouldn’t.
Two-leggers have holidays. The Wild doesn’t do holidays.
But imagine what a holiday would be like?
No predators.
Or ample prey.
Or ample seeds. Whatever your chosen food source, it’s abundant to the point there’s no confrontations over it.
If you’re female, males only approach when you want them to, not when they decide to.
(translation: males get smart)
If you’re male, females don’t say no.
(translation: sexual selection is gone)
It’s warm or cold. It’s whatever temperature you’re best designed for.
And you can rest.
That’s the big one, because sleep as modern, western civilization humans understand it doesn’t exist in The Wild. Your pet sleeping beside you can get into such a deep sleep it’s possible they dream, possibly woof, tweet, meow, or whatever in their sleep.
Do that in The Wild and you’ve revealed your resting location, ie, you’ve become food. Even apex predators don’t sleep as modern humans do. Far too dangerous.
But here are some turkeys, safe between the holidays.
Not sleeping, although we do make sure there’s plenty of seed for them.
Happy Holidays (after the fact), all.
