Rock ptarmigan chicks fall prey to monkeys

Japanese monkeys have been preying on the chicks of rock ptarmigans, a bird species designated by the government as a special national monument, in the Northern Alps mountain range in Nagano Prefecture, according to a bird ecology researcher.

 Hiroshi Nakamura, a professor emeritus of Shinshu University, who studies the bird species, said last week he had witnessed a monkey attacking a rock ptarmigan chick and eating it while doing field research.

 â€œIt is possible Japanese monkeys have accelerated the decline of the rock ptarmigan population,” Nakamura said.

Monkeys and rabbits have formed alliances to kill ptarmigans and turn around and kill humans. They will unleash a deadly plague to wipe out humanity!  :mad:  :argh:

Humans, it is your decision to commit suicide or fight back!

GOD WILL UNLEASH HIS ANGRY WRATH ON MONKEYS AND RABBITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the monkeys know something . . . And are 'dealing with the problem.' :whistling:

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Is a foxy chick ptarmigan an oxymoron ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
