Move over Indiana Jones, there is a new dog in town.

Meet Migaloo the wonder-pup who can sniff out 600-year-old bones more than 2m underground with her sharp sense of smell and keen eye for adventure.

The three-year-old black labrador mix has been hailed as the first archaeology dog in the world.

Owner Gary Jackson found Migaloo at a rescue centre 14 months ago and says they have been inseparable ever since.

“She’s a really special pup. She had the drive we needed for the job and was absolutely ball crazy,” he said.

After only a year on the job, Migaloo already holds the world record for the oldest archaeological find by a dog. Read more.

American woodcock struttin’ and shakin’ his stuff with bonus rump shake loop.

Oh my god, just…watch the video while listening to this music. Just do it. Trust me.

OH MY GOD

Oh wow

BEHOLD, THE BIRD I STUDIED AND OBSERVED FOR HOURS AT A TIME IN A COLD FUCKIN FIELD AT NIGHT FOR MY FINAL PROJECT IN BIO

and the best part is, this has NOTHING to do w mating at all, this “pelvic thrust” is literally how they hunt for worms

we’re not sure why they do it, i mean there’s speculation that perhaps they’re sending down vibrations into the earth and listening for panicked worm noises or maybe even using it like weird bird sonar by bouncing vibrations off things in the dirt

but yes, this is the hunting behavior of the noble timberdoodle, better known as the american woodcock

and if you think this is weird you should see their mating behaviors
