ELEPHANTS HOLD FUNERALS
Elephants are known to grieve by gently touching the bones of lost herd members with their trunks. They sometimes stand vigil over a dead companion and have even been observed trying to bury or cover the body with leaves and branches.

CAPUCHIN MONKEYS USE TOOLS
Capuchin monkeys use rocks to crack open nuts, but they also display complex emotions. In a famous experiment, they refused to perform a task if they saw a neighbor being rewarded with a better treat, essentially showing envy and a sense of fairness.

PRAIRIE DOGS HAVE A COMPLEX LANGUAGE
Prairie Dogs have one of the most complex communication systems ever discovered in animals. Their calls can describe types of predators, size, shape, speed, and even the clothing color of approaching humans. It’s the closest thing found to a grammatical animal language.

Maryland doesn’t have a state song.   The old one was discontinued because of Confederate sympathies during the Civil War.    We loaned this one, from Minnesota-Somali.

“A dead ringer” means an “exact duplicate” of someone or something. The phrase is used to refer to things that one cannot tell apart just by looking. To understand the origin of the phrase, we must first understand what the words “dead” and “ringer” mean in this context. Here, “dead” has the same meaning that it does in the phrase “dead on,” which means absolute or exact. It was originally used in marksmanship to mean that a shot was exactly on target. The term “ringer” comes from an old slang phrase “to ring” which meant “to switch, exchange or substitute.”

The phrase “dead ringer” was first used in horse racing in the US when unscrupulous horse owners would switch two horses that looked exactly the same in order to defraud bookies and buyers. For instance, a slow horse with long-shot odds could be switched with a faster one that resembled it, and the owner would bet and win big if the fake horse performed well.
