First, as it's already been stated in here that the Mongolians already cornered that market for alcohol production.
Second but related to the first, mare's milk is so high in sugar that it acts like a powerful laxative. So if you tried to drink a bottle of unfermented mare's milk you should be ready for the coming gastric exorcism.

/an/ bros. My 9 year old tabby unfortunately got attacked by a juvenile pit. She is limping, after the initial attack she was limp in my arms and panting heavily; something she has never done before. Right now she is laying in my bed and breathing normally, ate a good amount of food, and only growls when I touch her leg. I inspected her and found no punctures or lacerations, but she can't walk on her back leg. What do I do? Vets are retarded expensive. I'm scared. I should mention that I saved her before the kill grip, but I'm worried. Do I let her rest? Do I take her in? I did little PT exercises with her limbs and she didn't wail in pain or anything. What do I do?
>>
>>4782064
Take her in and work out some payment plan with the vet
>>
>>4782064

>>
>>4782064
take her to the vet for sure, she could have internal injuries. You could probably seek police/legal action against the pitbull's owners depending on where it happened. If it was their fault, they would have to pay.
>>
>>4782064
Take her to the vet man. You sound quite attached and a dog bite (especially from a pit) can quickly turn bad.

Strangely, there hasn’t been one of these yet (that I know of). So let’s fix that and get a thread going for all things pertaining to Mustelids - some of the hardiest, most enduring mammals.
This includes: Ferrets, Stoats, Wolverines, Badgers, Otters, Minks, Weasels, Martens, Grisons, Skunks, etc.
Ownership and advice for owning is also naturally welcome.

>Skunks have two glands, one on each side of the anus. These glands produce the skunk's spray, which is a mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals such as thiols (traditionally called mercaptans), which have an offensive odor. The thiols also make their spray highly flammable.[16][17]
>Skunks are only an ignition mechanism away from being cute little flamethrowers

the vast majority do not have the disease. just use common sense and caution

Could life on earth exist without predators? I'm aware of possible population booms and food shortages resulting in death of some or most species if predators disappeared. Would that kill all species?

the parasitized being needs to absorb energy to sustain itself and the parasites, this energy has to come from something. inorganic material cant offer enough energy to support this food chain, extremophiles like >>4781225 pointed out are tiny and can barely support themselves on inorganic material

>>4779414
That makes it a small prey
>>
>>4779405
Only thing I can think of is mutualistic interactions like plants and pollinators. It's not predation if they both species benefit.

I mean, look at it. Those legs are so thin you could lightly sweep at them and probably snap them like twigs. Nearly all of that weight is its upper body. Pretty believable to me

I believe it's possible to accurately guess characteristics/traits of somebody by their favorite animal
For example,
>If their favorite animal is a fox, they're a furry
>If it's a wolf, they were the weird kid in school
>Horse, they want to be dicked down by a horse
>Cat, they're feminine or a woman
>Dog, they're very basic
What do you think? What are some other examples?
