This a well-known photo of a fossilized combination burrito plate, made from burritosauruses, rice, and beanosauruses. It was probably made in the early Quesadillan era, where similar constructs have been found, alacartus, without the rice and beanosaurus sides.

sure, but life is full of unexpected twists... even in creche form.

>>crèche. There, that’s better.<<

Interesting. I had no idea that crèche meant anything other than a Christmas display of the manger with baby Jesus.

That reminds me of the old cartoon with the sea monster - “Beano & Cecil”...

[Fred Nerks]

Creche: An assemblage of dependent young that are cared for communally.

Nest: the place in which the eggs of animals, as insects, turtles, etc., are laid and hatched; a snug place in which young animals are reared.

a creche suggests the young are juveniles of various ages and parents. Nest however indicates siblings.

therefor (IMO) the article attributes behaviour that has not been substantiated.

[Fred Nerks]

In Australia creche is used to denote a place where young children, pre-kindergarten age, are placed in day time care by working parents.
