Resting and Eating

  • chalyse by chalyse

    There are a lot of animals that seem to graze in the shade of trees ... is it both eating and resting - with resting being interpreted as "getting out of the sun," or is their hiding in the shade to eat just eating?

    You can mark it as "eating" -- even though I'm sure they are also motivated by getting out of the hot sun. Resting would be more dozing or lying down.

    Thanks, that helps clarify for me that its okay to make each activity choice based on primary and discrete actions. Very helpful focusing for folks like me who tend to be a bit open-ended with categorization.
