Mimicing birds:
Raven (Corvus corax):
~ belongs to a family of birds known as "corvids" that includes jays, crows and magpies
~ Danish/Norwegian:Ravn, Dutch:Raaf,French:Corbeau,German:Rabe,Italian:Corvo imperiale,Spanish:Cuervo,Japanese: Karasu,Turkish: Kuzgun...
~ has been the object of countless myths and legends around the world
~ strong flier that can hover in place or soar like a hawk
~ may fly like stunt pilots at times, doing partial barrel-rolls in flight
~ pairs live in lifelong "marriages" and annually return to the same nests
~ the courtship can involve such fun and games as synchronized snow sliding, and, the synchronized flight test
~ may form large flocks of over several hundred individuals during their migration
~ when approaching dead animals, lands a short distance away, then hops forward or sideways to the carcass
~ considered among the most intelligent of all birds
~ largely non-migratory and can survive in some of the most extreme habitats
~ can live up to 50 years if in a safe location
~ prefers to avoid humans
~ the largest all-black bird in the world
~ the largest of the songbirds
~ can learn to imitate a variety of sounds, including the human voice and the sound of the wind

[020] Xi Functions ~ Business Helicopter: ~ Mimicing insects
Mimicing insects:
Spider
~ eight-legged creatures belonging to a group (phylum) called Arthropoda
~ different from insects (phylum Insecta) on several easy to see characteristics
~ no antenna's, eyes are like ours and not segmented, four pairs of legs
~ can sense low-frequency sound or a buzzing fly via Trichobothria hairs
~ catch many annoying and harmful insects and are therefore very useful creatures
Ant like spiders
~ because of its resemblance to ants, it can walk between them without being attacked
~ can be found everywhere if the sun is shining, on trees, grass and rocks
~ at night or during rainfall hides in a dry spot under a small web
~ large eyes give it excellent eyesight
~ four pairs of eyes
~ two large ones in the middle and two small ones are looking forward
~ above the front row is a second row of two tiny eyes and behind these there is a set of two large eyes looking upward
~ all these eyes give it a 360-degree eyesight
~ spiders have singular eyes like mammals, unlike the insects that have compound eyes
~ the eyes can move out or inwards for focusing and they can turn up and down and left and right
~ the spider can also turn its carapace (breast) more than 45 degrees to look around
~ prey can be noticed from a distance of about 30 - 40 cm
~ at a distance of 20 cm the spider turns its body so that the two front eyes points to the insect
~ the muscles in the eye focus the eye on the prey and the eye moves around their optical axis
~ in this way the spiders scans the object like a modern scanner
~ the eyesight is enhanced like a zoom lens and it is capable to adjust its looking angle from 10 to 60 degrees
~ the eyes are also capable to see color
~ after the object is recognized as eatable the spider carefully moves towards it victim
Xi:
~ sensors embedded
~ several cameras embedded
~ protects environment by sensing oil leakages around oil rigs, for example
