I had my head examined once, but they didn't find anything.

That nepotism is rife in Brooklyn 99 and that a lot of the guest stars are related to the main cast members.

Nepotism in the entertainment industry? I are shocked.  Shocked, I tells ya.

There is a pod of bottle-nosed dolphins off the coast of Laguna, Brazil. They drive shoals of mullet towards fisherman on the beach and, by rolling over, indicate when and where the fishermen should cast their nets. The dolphins get to eat the fish that escape.

The dolphins have been doing this since at least 1847, which shows that these animals are able to teach and learn non-natural behaviours.

Mad cool.

More from the world of evolution.

There's a small (cat sized) marsupial in extreme southwestern Australia called the quokka.  They've been given the sobriquet 'The Happiest Animal On Earth', primarily because they have no fear of humans.

Since the advent of camera phones, quokkas are gradually becoming diurnal.  They seem to absolutely love having their picture taken, and more and more of them are being active during the day, because that's when people with cameras are out and about.  This isn't a food response thing, as it is strictly illegal to feed wild quokkas due to their vulnerable status.

All the quokkas in the images above are wild.
