Which Comes First?

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? One of the trick question I've been pondering about and seems to have no logical answer. Until modern science comes to the rescue:

"Prior to the first true chicken, there were non-chickens. The DNA changes came about in cells housed in the egg. So the egg came first. In July 2010, British scientists, using a supercomputer, claimed to have come up with the final and definitive answer."


There it is guys, the egg comes first.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Bison

A couple of years ago we went on a long road trip to North Dakota. I was awed by the vast empty spaces of the Great Plains that stretched as far as the eye can see. The Badlands that are exposed surfaces of stone and clay that erosion has shaped into striking formations was a sight to behold and the Red River Valley which is the remnant lake bed of the ancient Lake Agassiz were a few of the most famous spots we visited. It was also there that I fist saw a bison.

The American bison and the European bison (wisent) are the largest terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. Bison are good swimmers and can cross rivers over half a mile (800 meters) wide. They are nomadic grazers and travel in herds. The bulls leave the herds of females at two or three years of age, and join a male herd, which are generally smaller than female herds.


Here is my rendition of a bison done in basswood.
