I recently read an article about crows hiding nuts in autumn. If they think they have been observed by fellow crows, they do so anyway — and come back later on their own and put their stash to a different hiding place. They don’t trust each other and are clever enough to do something about it!
And since it is October and Halloween is almost upon us, here is my bonus photo about nuts. I also have a problem to hide these – from my husband and myself, that is.
Student fraternities are different from Studentenverbindungen in Germany. In Heidelberg they have villas or mansions at their headquarters – the crest on top is a sign of it. They are today on prime property and could be sold for millions but they are usually so well off financially that they don’t have to sell.

This mural in Mannheim by Luigi Toscano is called “Against Forgetting” and shows two concentration camp survivors. On the woman’s face is written: “We have to remember the past but we mustn’t live in it.” She is a symbol for surviving, not forgetting, but moving on. She is a heroine.

Last weekend we were at the Opel-Zoo near Frankfurt and I snapped a photo of this beaded lizard. When I was making up this post I checked out its English name, and as I often do with the help of wikipedia rather than with a dictionary. And I was amazed that a photo of this particular lizard is on the German wikipedia site (not on the English one) to show a Skorpion-Krustenechse. The scorpion in the German name is due to the fact that it is poisonous.
