Totally random and not at all theory-related comments: my latest favorite totally-unproven theory is that dolphins communicate in 3D, by emulating sonar signals. They've been able to identify recognizable repeating patterns in dolphin communication, but so far not in comprehensible ways. One of the dolphin people thinks that, basically, we need to at least come up with a model of a dolphin body's interpretation of sound before we can comprehend their language, which I think is pretty cool. I do so hope the theory ends up being right.
When I was an eight-year-old 4H kid I was very proud of my trans rooster (not that I knew the word "trans" at the time.) I don't remember his name, but some time after we had butchered the other roosters, the lowest bird on the pecking order one day stopped laying eggs, started crowing and was accepted by the hens as a rooster, as far as I could tell with no questions asked. It was one of these things I could pull out at fancy dinner parties to show city-folk grown ups that they didn't know everything after all :-)
