"From Smoking Farmers to Majestic Stags: The Art of Urination" In the 17th and 18th centuries, artists like David Teniers (II) and Herman Breckerveld captured intriguing scenes of daily life. Among their works were depictions of a smoking farmer by the fire and an autumnal landscape painted by Broer Jansz. Little did they know that even in these seemingly ordinary moments, nature's call would find its way into their art. Fast forward to the late 18th century, where Isaac Cruikshank and Samuel W. Fores portrayed a British commander with two Dutch prostitutes. Amidst this scandalous encounter, one cannot help but notice how bodily functions intertwine with human desires. Nature itself is not exempt from showcasing urination as a means of communication or territorial marking. In Bavaria, Germany, an European Roe Deer marks its territory in Allgaeu while a Red Deer stag rubs antlers on the ground during rutting season. But it's not just wild animals who engage in such behavior; our beloved pets also have their moments. A Golden Retriever with long soft fur finds solace in relieving itself into a puddle on the floor – perhaps reminding us that even domesticated companions are connected to their primal instincts. Moving across continents, we witness American Elk thrashing the ground with antlers and urinating during rutting season at Jasper National Park. Meanwhile, at Minsmere RSPB Reserve in Suffolk, England, a Red Deer stag finds comfort in urinating within its wallow as part of its mating ritual. Venturing into Africa's wilderness brings us encounters with Black-backed Jackals scent marking their territories in Botswana's Okavango Delta. And let us not forget about the magnificent cheetahs found roaming Masai Mara in Kenya – adult males spraying tree trunks with urine as they assert dominance through scent marking.
