Mother Nature Can Be a Real Cunt Sometimes!
Call me a softy if ya want,but this story just ruined my afternoon...
SYDNEY, Australia - A lost humpback whale calf that bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother will likely die within days if it doesn't find another mother to adopt it, a wildlife official said Tuesday.
The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave. Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat, but the creature returned to an inlet near Sydney Tuesday morning, New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman John Dengate said.
The calf can't survive without mother's milk for long, Dengate told Australia's Fairfax Radio Network.
"It's probably a question of days rather than weeks," he said. "It's a very grim prognosis."
Artificial feeding would be impossible, so the calf's only chance is to find another female whale to accept it, he said.
"If a lactating female with a calf goes past and this calf approaches that animal it may accept it, but ... it's a very slim chance," Dengate said.

It sucks, but mother nature is a bitch sometimes. It's like just like a couple weeks ago here at work, we had two baby birds that had somehow gotten into one of the bars. I managed to chase one outside, and it just sat on the sidewalk looking confused for an hour or so. The other bird I couldn't chase out. I was leaving it bread crumbs and water for it, but then I quit my job for four days, and when I returned to work, the bird was dead.
Never get off the boat.

And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

Mother Nature can certainly be a bitch...but Father Time isn't anyone you wanna turn your back on either...
