hmmm, now that you mention it...I have no sound from the alt player. It was coming from the website

Nope. I take that back. Just can't mute the website without also muting the alt player

Sag, for some reason I have to sometimes go into my sound controls (double click the speaker icon on tray) and increase the Wave slidebar.

I just installed Real Alternative for P's P, and I'm checking on my sound.  

Are you all not hearing much at the moment?

Ahhh...about the same sizes as a male & female Irish Wolfhound.

Thanks all!

The reason I asked about the babs is because of their alarms when danger is close by. Made me wonder if they spread out at night.

I have a couple questions:

1. Is there no obvious difference between female & male leopards? I reckon I already know the answer to that one.

Size is the most visible difference. Male leopards can weight up to 160 pounds, while females top at about 105-110.  Now of course without them standing next to each other its hard to tell, but thats the  easiest way to tell the difference.

and, on a different subject altogether...

2. Do Bab troops tend to congregate, at night, in a couple trees...or do they spread out all over?

"obvious difference between female & male leopards?"  tee-hee  :-)  None that we can see in black and white in the dark, I reckon.

 

As for the babs troops, there was an amazing Nature special called Murder in the Troop about 2 months ago, all about babs.  The troop does congregate up in the trees at night.  Not much spreading out.  Safety in numbers, and all that.  Smiling
