Do Wild Pigs Know the Daylight Savings Time?

You bet animals know what time it is! Wild pigs have a highly acute sense of time. What they don't know is this: humans swing their daily schedule up an hour in the Spring and back an hour in the Fall.

We are about the only animal superficially setting time that plays havoc on our biorhythm...

I knew that - animals are natural educators. We can learn much from them.

'cuz we need CLOCKS to tell us what time it is--not our bodies.

We're that divorced from our environment...

unfortunately we live our lives by the clock. Wouldnt it be nice to get up when we felt like it and eat and sleep when we felt like it instead of going by an artificial schedule? But I guess that wouldnt be any way to run a buisness or schedule an event or to tell someone when you are going to meet somewhere.
