A Nature Lesson With An Important Warning

[klunker]

This is a photo of a newly hatched Aurous Excavatorous. It is well formed and appears to be very healthy, which portends a long, adventurous life ahead.

 

This photos shows a juvenile Aurous Excavatorous foraging for roots and tubers and subterranean insects. As it grows and matures it's plumage will turn a vibrant color which the Aurous Excavatorii are known for.

 

This rare photo vividly illustrates the bright color of the adult Aurous Excavatorous as it roams the great plains of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

 

The Aurous Excavatorous are typically not a threat to detectorists unless they feel there young are threatened.  Detectorists beware!

WOW, a rare photo indeed. Glad you at least survived to show and tell the tale, brave man.

THAT is the funniest sh** I've seen in a while!!!🤣

Rumor has it that the excavator hit water and almost drowned.  Because you only have one arm to swim with. 🤣

I don't think the first one you showed will make it very long because it was leaking some type of fluid from it's arm.

Poor little thing to go so early in life, but you could have saved it and became a hero so bad on you.

You should see them mating…

Thanks for providing us all a chuckle as sometimes this country needs more of that.

I don't think Bear spray will work on one of those.
