I've been taking a puppy out for walks for the past 2 months and he literally gets smiles from all the women who we walk past, is this common in your experience or is my dog especially handsome?

I have managed to get a wasp queen to visit almost daily for sugar water. I guess she is building a nest somewhere, but could I somehow entice her to start building in a provided box? Maybe with building materials? I want a portable wasp nest I could mount on a stick.

Wasps won't appreciate being on a stick, you should stick it to the roof of your car and drive around with it, take your wasps on a road trip.

Anon all dogs smell awful after about a week of no bath. You should have done your research beforehand.

Thats a lie. Only shitty dogs smell bad. Good breeds like shiba inu, japanese akita, greyhounds, borzoi, huskies and samoyeds don’t stink.

>>5117705

>>
>>5117755
huskies smell really good actually. especially their heads and the middle of their tail fluff. its complex and hard to describe like an expensive perfume.

apparently the russians bred them to be bed warmers

I killed a bullfrog to eat 3 years ago, and I still can't get over it. The legs din't even taste good and I'm a huge animal lover. If I could go back in time I would take it back.

I read a book about some historical figures in the city I live in recently and in a one-off line it mentioned that one of them had purchased land here to farm frogs to sell to local restaurants. I have never once seen frog legs on a menu and it was really strange to ponder that being an economically viable get rich quick scheme at one time. Anyway if it makes you feel better OP I take care of American bullfrogs at a nature center and they would 100% eat your legs if they could fit them in their mouths.
>>
>>5117037
It's a specific kind of frog called the Edible Frog that lives in Europe ya dingus. It's like you ate a crow expecting it to taste like chicken, you're lucky it wasn't some other random frog that could have made you ill.

What is /an/'s favourite nature documentary? For me it's Attenborough's "The Life of X" collection. I've rewatched it recently, and the thing I like about it the most is that it puts more emphasis on life's diversity and how various creatures are adapted to their environment, rather then to try to show a story or a pretty picture, which is what most documentaries do.

‘Absolute tank’ of a snapping turtle rescued from Lake Michigan surf after wandering shoreline for days
Updated: Apr. 15, 2026, 12:31 p.m.|Published: Apr. 15, 2026, 12:25 p.m.


Doug the Tank, a 30-something-year-old snapping turtle, is in the care of Michigan Amphibian & Reptile Sanctuary after he was found wandering the Lake Michigan shoreline where he battled waves for days, until he was too tired to continue. He's expected to make a swift recovery.Michigan Amphibian & Reptile Sanctuary
By Justine Lofton | jlofton@mlive.com
GRAND HAVEN, MI – This “absolute tank” of a snapping turtle was nearly unresponsive when a rescuer pulled him out of the Lake Michigan surf last week in Grand Haven.


The 33-pound, 30(ish)-year-old snapper is now known as Doug the Tank. He’s recovering from his misadventure at Michigan Amphibian & Reptile Sanctuary in Kalamazoo.

“Despite the sass in the photos, he’s exhausted and extremely worn down, but we are anticipating a swift recovery, the sanctuary said on Facebook.
