In the animal kingdom, size doesn't matter and virtues count like everywhere else.

Thus, I have discovered for example that the tiny squirrels have individual names but the ducks don't.

That may be due to the fact that squirrels have higher NQ (Noble Quality) than the ducks.

... Some animals of the same species have more NQ on average than others.

... Only among humans, the NQ varies greatly because we are more equipped to develop compassion; also we are more exposed to different situations, which require our love and help for other fellow humans and other beings.

Yes! I was also surprised by the finding! There are so many marvels even in this physical universe. One really must take time to discover.

And another thing: Female animals in general have 1 or 2% higher NQ than their male counterpart, and in the human world it's the same. I guess motherhood does help to develop more unconditional love, and the more one exercises "NQ," the more extra one will have. It is a privilege for me to be revealed this information. I did not seek to know. It just came by itself as the bond of friendship deepened between the wilds and I. Once I knew some of them, other species' data became also available. Once we know even as little as what I know, we will never look at the animals the same way as we did before. I am very happy to share a little knowledge about some of our co-inhabitants in this book. Some of those whom, as language barriers prevent us to understand each other, have been mistreated, misused or forgotten.

If I were to write much more of what has been transmitted from them, it will take many books; besides, it only concerns myself and others I need to be in contact with as part of my "job's" necessity. So I do not include herein.

Anyway, I was thrilled to know much about our animal friends; hope you too will be.

May all beings be loved and blessed - with Peace & Happiness.
