Previously on /jef/ >>5137757Who is Jefrey (with one F)?He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

>>5146406A forum revolving around a bunch of dudes with small penises powerscaling animals. Think /dbs/ but less schizophrenic but just as retarded and embarrassing.
>>5146406Old forum where people debate hypothetical interspecies combat matchups between different animals. I used to have an account there back in the early 2010s when it was still hosted on Zetaboards.It's also the biggest, most delusional felid fanboy circlejerk on the internet. Genuinely insufferable place to browse for nuanced or non-hyperbolic discussion because of it. 95% of users there are just slightly more articulate–but equally deranged– YouTube commenters

>>5146248Like the other anon said best to just get it to the vet so they can have a look at it and give some advice on how to care for it. If it's been gone from the nest for too long it might be too late to put it back there for the mother to continue caring for it

i want a rabbit. just kidding i can't
Tits or boobies? Which is superior?
Ass
does anyone know if there's an animal called armpits?
>>5145761boobies are way bigger
>>5146425Small tits aren't the worst thing though
please do not get your kids one of the more "conscious" pets like a cat or a dog. The damage they'll get from losing it will be much greater than the benefit. If your kids and pet grow up together as well, the pet is deemed to die or get health complications during your child's most critical years (high-school, moving out for college, relationships etc) 9 months ago i was chosen by the cat delivery system, a cute tuxedo kitty ran to my feet as i was walking. In an hour, it will be the 8th day he's been missing. He just went out one day and never came back. Hes almost a year old.I've been searching since then, I even wanted to get a drone operator to scan the neighborhood with thermals but my dad said "im not paying for a drone for a fucking cat" and "don't fucking dare spend money with your debit on this" I've been crying a lot alone but even that's not enough, I want to explode. I'm barely holding it in front of people. On one of these searches, the day after garbage day I rode past a neighbors driveway that smelled so much like roadkill that I had to stop. I got confused because it smelled so much but there was no visible body anywhere, I even thought the wind was carrying the smell from the fence across the street but no, it was actually a particular spot on the pavement that looked clean but REEKED like roadkill. I thought, if they ran over my cat I'd like to know so I can have closure but they weren't opening the door so I just left a poster under their mat and left. So yeah, this is killing me right now. I don't think the brain can actually separate them from human babies, maybe they trigger the same parts in the brain so it is like you're losing an actual child. I don't think its worth it. I was more or less forced to by my empathy to get this one but its not worth to actively seek pet ownership.
>>5146254kill yourself
>>5146178>noone outside of yourself gives a fuck about what happens to them. A neighbor can steal or even kill your pet in broad daylight>Your pet ever gets out, 99% of people won't even bother to look at it. Where I'm at it's even worse because we have a stray roam policy so they'll just assume it's a stray.That's just an issue of living in india. Civilized countries don't have this problem.
>>5146172>One of our outdoor cats was hit by a car and got brain damage.Good to hear it was unharmed.
>>5146235>he doesn't know about the great /an/ dog/cat wars lurk moar newbaby
>>5146235Its a conspiracy theory from a local schizophrenic who thinks eglin air force base is trying to trap all cats in saturnalian cube prisons to kill bastet before she eats the jewish mouse god and give anubis the power to conquer russia or some bullshit like that. They’re clearly lying to us about outdoor cats dying to make us sacrifice their sophian spark and gonads to saturn so we must never neuter cats or keep them inside! (Yes that is fucking retarded)In reality cats are middle of the food chain animals nerfed by over 10,000 years of selective breeding for docility and cuteness. Irresponsible fucks and those odd morons who think they own small tigers are quick to get their pets killed. /an/ is a common place for people to vent about dead and dying pets. This does vary by region. Housecats were originally domesticated in the levant. Dogs are not native to the levant and generally disliked by the cultures there so there’s not much to eat the cats, life is scarce, and there is little refuge for animals besides peoples stone buildings. In these conditions cats do ok outside and actually do keep rodents away from peoples shit because the rodents arent digging in when everything is sand and rocks. If you are israeli, your cat will probably do fine outdoors. If you’re not a desert fuck and live in a lusher region like europe or north america cats can not get rid of rodents and just become another part of the food chain while disproportionately harming some rare, slow breeding animals that never evolved to deal with a large, practically infinite supply of cats courtesy of humans releasing them. You’re also living in a dog culture because dogs are just better adapted to regions like that and have been with europeans as pets since they were aryan steppe nomads.

I was considering getting a hamster but I have to leave my house for 6 days each month and won't be able to bring it with me during those days.The plan was to clean the cage just before leaving and just after arriving and ask a a neighbour to change the water and food daily.What worries me and is making me consider not to get the hamster is that it won't leave the cage even for a walk inside a ball since the neighbour hasn't time enough for that.Are 6 days without leaving the cage cruel for a hamster?
yes, l'il nigga will die
No dummy it is perfectly fine. Get the hamster a proper cage with different hides, wheel, etc.
>>5146017>I want to get an animal I can’t take care of that doesn’t suit my lifestyle Just don’t then.
Im thinking about getting a moneky as a pet whats the good type of monkey i could get in saudi arabia
Obvious bait aside I think the monkeys in captivity thing is blown way out of proportion. There are plenty of smaller monkeys that would do just fine even in an apartment as long as they had plenty of enrichment and socialization. Childfree catfags build more elaborate climbing rigs than a squirrel monkey would ever need. Only real problem, and it is a big one admittedly, is most of them just shit and piss wherever they happen to be because in the wild it falls down and isn't their problem.

I fucking despise armchair paleontologists. I wouldn’t even care about their ramblings if it wasn’t for the fact that every time a new paper drops, they make a shitty idea off of it. And whether it’s by video, blog or Twitter post, if it picks up traction it somehow ends up being seen as fact by the general paleo community. Actual literal headcanons being made up with zero professional research or backing behind them. >Nanotyrannus being dubious even though we already knew about its tooth count and fore arm difference a decade before the 2025 paper.>Dakotaraptor being dubious because of some guy pointing out its sickle claw had a vague resemblance to a Nanotyrannus claw. (Yeah no shit they’re both theropods) It’s like they needed a new target to point the dubious finger at after the Nano paper dropped.>Nanaimoteuthis being a shellfish specialist despite the very paper describing it pointing out wear patterns on its beak that prove the contrary.>Carnotaurus being the “Cretaceous cheetah” because it ran fast, ignoring literally every other aspect of its anatomy.>The average Edmontosaurus being a 15 ton monster that regularly raped Rex, because of a paper describing a superadult specimen that represented the smallest top percent of adults lucky enough to live that long.>Titanoboa being an obligate piscivore because it had adaptations for hunting the most common prey source in its environment.For years I have watched this endless cycle and it’s god damn exhausting. If you want your thought experiments to be seen as scientific, go get a degree, start researching, and publish an actual paper about it. You can't just make a hypothesis, stop there, and assume you're correct, it doesn't fucking work like that. Why does the science community that prides themselves on "Realistic portrayals" not know how to fully read through a published paper?
>>5146361>We have a very complete fossil record.You'd have to be a total fucking moron to think this. Look at a modern map of sediment accumulating basins, and then compare that to Earth's biodiversity. Shit. We're just missing an entire continent for most of the Mesozoic - Eastern North America is critically understudied and we simply lack any decent fossils from the majority of its range.
>>5146385>>5146396We also see trace evidence of substantially different fauna. For example, evidence of late surviving Carcharodontosaurs while Tyrannosaurs all appear far more gracile. And just having the same general types of fauna, doesn't mean anything regarding their unique diversity. East Asia and Western North America also share a lot of the same groups, but the individual expression of them is very disparate and lacking one would substantially affect our modern perception of dinosaurs. Imagine if the Hell Creek and Morrison were never excavated and we just had Mongolia to teach us. The idea that Eastern North America is uninteresting because we have fragments that indicate it shared the same general groups as Laramidia in the Late Cretaceous, is just completely stupid. What about the area during the hundreds of millions of years before that point?
>>5146356It does exist though. The Dakotaraptor holotype definitely contains giant dromaeosaur elements even if a few pieces are from other animals. The teeth and giant sickle claw in particular stand out
>>5146384>Brian engh literally illustrated Alligatorids as warm-bloodedThat isn’t what it’s depicting. A reptile that has been basking will be warmer than its surroundings. This has been explained to you before. You’re retarded
>>5146361>We have a very complete fossil record.The sheer arrogance of this statement is absolutely astounding to me.

What are your thoughts on lizards?
They're cool, and skinks make me laugh. Highly recommend, 10/10
i like the small green ones. they're faster than sonic.

>>5139560My sketches are communicative enough to show anatomical details, but not at all comparable to all the popular spec art I see. Therefore I've been trying to write short stories that feature my alien biospheres, but that doesn't work for all my ideas. How much encyclopedia style stuff could I get away with using minimal art? I'm assuming not much.
>>5143425quadruped
>>5143607Yeah, that caught me offguard big time.
>>5139582Because it's always "what if cows were raptors." Every time. What if thing were other things. What would a cow look like if it was an alligator? What would a cow look like if it was an anteater? It's just endless palette swapping.
>>5145851to be fair, palette swaps have been a thing IRL as well due to convergent evolution because some niches just require very similar types of bodyplans for the cow if it was an alligator, having elevated eyes on top of your head as a riparian ambush predator just makes a ton of sensewith seed worlds generally one of the draws or more creative parts is figuring out how an animal gets around the constraints of it's body plan to fit a niche
Let's discuss and observe the apes of Africa and Asia.
>>5145474Well, shortly after homo sapian arrived the last of Floresiensis disappeared shortly after and they already were under pressure by the environment removing what they thrived with. We have a bunch of traditional myths of short people stealing food if even some reasons for them being gone in said myths. I wouldn't exactly be surprised if I heard a tiny ethnic group in the mountains or islands pulled a Neanderthal/Denisova love game (like melanesians especially for that) on the Floresiensis way back and they have like a shred of it kept, but realistically, a lot of ethnic groups with extremely short statures stuck around to the modern day and some have ancestry we can tie to a split in an era like the middle ages in west central africa for example, but I am unaware of it for south asian pygmies and short ethnic groups, didn't dig that yet if we have genetic papers on it but will do. Did we sequence Floresiensis?
>>5145753Hell yeah
