Any anteater chads here? What do you feed them? Any special needs?
>>4737564yeh they eat ants. Its in the name. ant-eater
>>4737564That's a tamandua they will eat beefs and rices + some fruits
>>4737564Are you asking if anyone owns one? Is that even legal??
>>4737589It's a fucking cat with a snout, how can it be illegal?
You have to be careful or they'll end up clawing through your electrical cabinet in their insatiable search for ants.
>>4737604They grow bigger than cats and have some powerful claws anon
>>4737564Bruh how is it that in America you can just own anything that breaths and keep it as a petOr yeah nearly anything since 1865
>>4737710They don't grow bigger.
>>4737736Those weren't pets those were draft animals.
>>4738494there's a few different specieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_anteaterthey're absolutely capable of fucking you up considering they kill jaguars in the wild.
>>4737736You actually really can't. Anything that's threatened or endangered anywhere is verboten, every state has their own blacklist as well, and basically anything that's capable of harming a human requires licensure - yes, even dogs in most states, though enforcement is lax. Plus anything that australia puts on their "do not export" list gets outlawed, even if it's shit like the various agamas that are both ridiculously common in Aus and very unlikely to become invasive for various reasons. You can hit them with your car, etc.
Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?
>>4740448We have exceptions for captive bred animals. The world is not Australia.
>>4737681They only do that if they lack enrichment. You can buy them fake little electrical cabinet replicas to destroy if you have to leave them alone for any span of time.
>>4740441Does that look like a giant anteater to you?
>>4740830looks like a giant anteater that has yet to grow bigger
>>4737736You can’t own shit in America I have a few ducks and i keep them on the low so I don’t have to file for permits and shit.
>>4740910Why do their forearms look like pandas
>>4740910pretty sure that’s one of the smaller south american anteater’s which do not grow bigger
>>4741905why do their legs look like cher
>>4740910OP's pic is probably this onehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_tamandua
>>4743030here is a video of one having funhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NlvlhfE2h0
>>4737564>What do you feed them?lol
>>4740910its a tamandua, theres 3 types. Giant, tamandua and silky
>>4744441The battle of forbidden cats
>>4746864Smug cunt
>>4737604it's not you retardif you keep wild animals as pets, government officials come and take it awayat least in my country
>>4737604cat
>>4750104Sucks living in a totalitarian shithole.
>>4740448>Anything that's threatened or endangered anywhere is verbotenThis is the most retarded thing.>This animal is endangered and must be protected from going extinct.>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BREED ENDANGERED ANIMALS TO EXPLODE THEIR POPULATION AND KEEP THEM AS PETS!!!!!!!!!!!!Bison were rescued from the edge of extinction by bison farmers. They probably would be extinct today if it had been made illegal to eat them.
>>4750109Dem kung fu moves though
>>4750109>Bro your cat looks kinda retarded. Is it ok?
>>4750124We can follow your logic after systematically destroying the traditional chinese witchcraft trade. The great leap backward and the cultural devolution were a disaster for nature and make a few british fucks with tiger rugs look tame. Essentially, lifting these laws would make anything but outright no-trade-or-migration-with-china laws unenforceable and the list would quickly grow to all their cash-hungry lacky countries. Its easier to just run zoos that are allowed to breed endangered or captured animals and arrest everyone else (and their source too)
>>4750164Nah. The solution for every endangered animal is to make a resilient feral population outside it’s native context. Koalas should be a menace on eucalyptus groves globally until they learn how to knock over bins and eat trash at night. Then put the weird ones that eat trash near tourists to make them even worse. Then we send their supercharged descendants back to Australia.
>>4750109These things can kill you btw
>>4750285It’s easy to how. That video shows how surprisingly agile and quickly they are
>>4750285that's why they're placating him with belly rubs from a cute asian girl (assuming, could be latina or something i guess).
>>4750285Jaguars don't fuck with them because they can easily kill a jaguar. But they're incredibly chill and only attack when harmed, so no, they can't kill you unless you try to kill it first.
>>4750285I want some Redditor to go to Brazil to cuddle "le epic floof" only to get disembowelled on camera
Dalí was an anteater chad.
>>4750834What is that it’s drinking off the floor
>>4750876Ants
>>4750349Shockingly, Brazil has a lot of Japanese people.
>>4750109Scary
>>4750285t. ant
>>4750109Thought this thing had 2 heads for a second
its nose is a benis lol
Anteater if he small
is it true these things can piss like 15 feet
>>4737564Why are they like this? Is it autism?
>>4757654That's a gnome
>>4757724those are real??
>>4757327No, it pisses piss
>>4757327Nope, that's porcupines.
>>4737583Anon, that's a cat.
>>4750116You are one that's living in a shithole. Anteaters are protected species.
>>4757899What's more likely to exist, gnomes (existence documented in many cultures around the world) or some supposed biological vacuum cleaner that solely subsists on tiny ants?
>>4759385when you put it like that…
>>4759369Anteaters don't live in any country with a high HDI, thirdie-kun.
>>4759385Gnomes aren't even a folkloric creature, they are an OC of an early modern Swiss pseudoscientist called Paracelsus.
>>4750834Dali was a fascist
>>4737564OK..
>>4750109holy shit it doesnt even look real when it moves around. it doesnt look like a real animal. its like a manga creature from a fantasy world.
>>4759584Dali was an attention whore above all else. All of the egdy statements he made in support of fascism, Hitler, universal enslavement of all Africans, misogyny, violence towards children, he did to foment outrage and use it to promote himself. And it worked. Nobody remembers his edgelord attitude nowadays, but everybody remembers him and his works.
>>4760259>There was no reason for me to stop telling one and all that to me Hitler embodied the perfect image of the great masochist who would unleash a world war solely for the pleasure of losing and burying himself beneath the rubble. I have often dreamed of Hitler as a woman. He turned me on in the highest.
>>4759584And Picasso was a communist. Your point being?
>>4759532Paracelsus was a cool bastard
>>4760333Nearly every single modern artist was a communist of some kind, this is hardly breaking news.
>>4760345And nearly everyone from the early 20th century and before was some flavor of ‘fascist’ when going by modern standards
>>4760378Dude, modern artists lived in the early XXth century. >and beforeFascism =/= authoritarianism
>>4760345Yes thats why they hate it when people with actual skill and taste earn fame and when humans follow their inborn beauty standards. Contribution to society scares commies almost as much as normal and ideal human behavior for some reason.
>>4760401Picasso could draw better classical portraits than any of the Nazi artists, he just thought it was boring and added nothing to the canon of fine art. He painted this one as a child.
>>4760408instead he decided to detract from fine art by showcasing mental illness, the degeneration of the human condition into something that is neither the hardy ape nor the industrious and athletic natural state of manFuck him and fuck modern art. Modern art is literally the hatred of nature, natural concepts, natural order, natural law, and natural tendencies. The modernist declares these fallacious because they are because they are.
>>4760427Everything wrought by humans is a part of nature simply because humans are. If you don't accept this thesis, then anything you declare the "natural order" is an arbitrary definition based solely on your personal biases and preferences. Art is pretty unnatural in the first place, you know. Whether it strives to reflect or defy reality, it remains wholly artificial.
>>4760393> Dude, modern artists lived in the early XXth century. >nearly everyone> Fascism =/= authoritarianismCorrect. Not always agreed upon unfortunately. Hope you feel the same about the other regimes at the time with amazingly similar views and beliefs to the actual ‘fascists’ as well as before.
>>4760430>t. another midwit that doesn't understand what nature actually meansUgly is not beautiful. Sorry bud.
>>4759584>>4760259>>4760326>>4760333>>4760334>>4760345>>4760378>>4760393>>4760401>>4760408>>4760427>>4760430>>4760441Anteaters?
>>4760451So are you talking about aesthetic appeal or the natural order? Because nature is full of things that most people would consider very ugly. Make up your mind.
>>4760477>He doesn't knowHuman beauty standards are "natural" in that they refer heavily to health and basic evolutionary fitness. Like symmetrical faces, which correlate strongly with good nutrition and a lack of mental illness, and are something we NATURALLY strive towards having NATURALLY. Natural typically means things that arise via natural processes of selection rather than midwit musings and idealist garbage. ie: THCa is a natural compound with function in controlling cell death and repelling pests in the hemp plant. The psychoactive, decarboxylated form is typically unnatural due to the foolish intervention of humans adding heat.Most people typically understand natural to also be normally, but not necessarily, superior, because something that is natural has most likely been subject to natural selection for enough time to prove its worth in aiding the survival of a species. Most, but not all, natural things are the best option available for whatever problem they solve.ie: Most people agree that intra-specific empathy is a NATURAL trait of human beings. It is therefore most likely, but not necessarily, a superior trait in most situations.Incorrect beauty standards or a conscious resistance to correct (natural) beauty standards could be construed as an attempt to select against health and for mental illness.
>>4760488The prevailing beauty standards are anything but natural. In fact, they seem to go directly against the basic principles of nature, regardless of the gender. Women prefer bulky and muscular dudes, but bulking up is a horrible strategy from the evolutionary standpoint. It involves wasting amounts of time, effort and resources on something that's perfectly useless for survival. You can't really get more unnatural as a man than a bodybuilder. The women suffer from the opposite extreme. They starve themselves half to death to appeal to the male preference for slender, graceful females. Mother Nature would weep tears of blood if she could see it... or would she?It turns out that animals across every clade sexually select for traits that are not only utterly worthless for survival, but are often actively harmful to it. Peacock tails are the textbook example of that. They may look pretty to humans and to their own females, but they make the lives of male peacocks short and brutal. Not only do they prevent them from flying well, they also serve as magnets for the predators due to their visibility from a large distance. Not even humans have beauty standards as detrimental to their survival as that.Now, you would either have to concede that such a thing as "natural beauty standards" doesn't really exist, or accuse the peacocks of being degenerate commies out to destroy the natural order of things.
>>4761032>Women prefer bulky and muscular dudesWomen actually prefer lanky and wiry men, every time this is studied. They want a tall man who is naturally muscular but not ripped and has physical traits indicating lifelong health and sufficient virility. It's men that prefer bulky and muscular lantern jawed dudes because that's how they select warriors to ally with - people who show natural and conscious inclinations towards violence against other humans. Intra-tribal competition is a natural part of humanity so we have two ideal male types, the provider (wiry, tall man) and the warrior (stockier, more muscular, hones himself for murder).>Women starve themselves to deathTo honestly signal their fecundity by emphasizing wide hips and naturally supple breasts rather than false signaling via weight gain. Women who get married and become reproductively active typically gain weight. This is the natural female beauty cycle.
>>4760467anteaters
>>4761036>Women who get married and become reproductively active typically gain weight.And then get dumped together with their kid because their husbands couldn't get it up with a fat sow. This is the natural female beauty cycle in a ghetto. Elsewhere, women continue taking good care of themselves after childbirth.
>>4761040Historically married women had an appreciable layer of fat and people fucking loved it. They weren't cows, they were genuinely curvy.The universal anorexia thing is super new and created by capitalist mind control
>>4761042>Historically married women had an appreciable layer of fat and people fucking loved it. They weren't cows, they were genuinely curvy.Correct. Women need a certain amount of body fat anyway in order to have proper working hormones and for heathy pregnancy.>The universal anorexia thing is super new and created by capitalist mind controlSeems more like a commie thing
>>4761049Communists do it accidentally because their system doesnt actually work with industrial society (or atheism, marx himself must be removed for a communist economy to function), capitalists do it on purpose to sell weight loss scams because their system works too well with industrial society.Wait, anteaters?
>>4761049>>4761055People who have actually lived in post-communist countries all remember morbidly obese grannies, sales clerks, waitresses etc. Obesity is a sign of poverty, not wealth, as it's the consequence of unhealthy diets with a prevalence of bread, cereal, spaghetti and other cheap sources of quick carbs. Besides, it's much easier for a woman to gain weight than to lose it.
>>4761055>>4761061actually the joke is that they’re hungry and starving :)
>see that anteater thread gained a bunch most posts>enter thread, expecting more anteater content>it's this shit :(
>>4761099Cute anteater content, buddy
>>4760488The great joke is that nature is much weirder than humans can even imagine. Like the alien species we come up with in science fiction stories are child's play compared to what some animals are like on this very planet.
>>4737736nah you really can’t. my dream animal is verboten even though they’re really easy to keep and domesticated, because if it escaped it’d become an non-native invasive species.
>>4740448Sometime around 2012 in Bangor Maine a couple got in trouble for having a wallaby.The state finally issued them a permit and required them to build a 6 foot fence (required a building permit), give it a rabies shot every year (special expensive shots imported from a breeder in New Jersey), get it neutered (so it can't breed with other wallabies and become an invasive species in fucking Maine), build a shelter within the fenced area (also required a building permit), and it MUST be on a leash any time it's not in the fenced area or inside their house.Ohh and of course they had to pay some fines.
>>4761127i am the main character/protagonist of this board, you all exist to post content i enjoy. time to start acting like it.

>>4761158what the fuck is that?? mutant deer??
>>4761478Wojak deer.Fact #1: they are scavengers who eat corpses and have fangs specialised for that purpose.Fact #2: they have the fewest chromosomes of any mammal and, in fact, fewer than a fly.
>>4761593Muntjac, not Wojak.
>>4761672You don't say?!
>>4761678Oh, so you didn't just make a simple mistake and instead were intentionally misinforming someone who just wanted to know more by giving them the wrong name on purpose? Strange to double down on being a compulsive lying cunt, but you do you.

>>4750164>Its easier to just run zoos that are allowed to breed endangered or captured animalsI'm starting an anteater zoo.
>>4765145They torture it to death, collect the bile and sell it as an aphrodisiac.
>>4765283Is there anything the Chinese don't sell as an aphrodisiac?
>>4765457cut them some slack they need all the help they can get
Do animals enjoy wearing clothes? They always look so cute in them, but I can't imagine the added heat is okay for them to deal with.
>>4765495Cats don't due to all the pressure sensitive whiskers all over their bodies, dogs don't mind. I don't think anyone but an actual anteater chad could tell you what anteaters feel on this issue.
>>4765573Anteaters come from Brazil, so they would normally feel cold for most of the year in the US or most European countries unless forced to put on clothes.
>>4750164meh don't see why breeding them for magic nut powder would be worse than breeding them for meat
>>4766360Because most wild animals wouldn't breed in captivity, forcing the chinks to order their magic nut powder from poachers.
>>4761593>Wojak deer.Well Wojak or Muntjac aside, a drop in the number of chromosomes does not equate with a reduction in genetic information.You just have have fewer but larger chromosomes. They fuse. But nonetheless, it is an interesting trait.
>>4737564>Any anteater chads here? What do you feed them?Anon, I...
>>4766375Likewise, an increase in the number of chromosomes doesn't necessarily entail an increase in genetic information. It results in much bigger cells, though, which is widely used in agriculture to breed plants with bigger, juicier fruits. Most of the species with a very high chromosome count are plants, and the champion is a fucking protist (a little shit too primitive to classify with confidence).
>>4750834>brings his anteater on dick cavett>just tosses it on the floorhe's an animal abuser and I'm glad he's dead
>>4750285In Brazil they are infamous for killing people's hunting and livestock guardian dogs, when the dogs attack they are quickly dispatched because of their lack of self-preservation. This is part of why anteaters suffer from persecution as farmers and hunters will kill them to avoid this. Equally there are cases of hunters attempting to slay giant anteaters with melee weapons and dying to critical artery damage after being clawed. Very cool animal - see videos of jaguars being fended off easily.
>>4766562My friend, he was a human abuser as well.
I dreamed of anteaters (and a weird armadillo-anteater thing) invading my house because of this thread
>>4767773Armadillos are actually the closest phylogenetic relative of the anteater.
>>4761688autism > your "joke"
I love anteaters and armadillos.
>>4768733One will cuddle with youThe other will give you leprosy
>>4766600kind of just sounds like regular brazilian/third world incompetence to me
>>4768823It's just machismo, and yes, it's very characteristic of Brazil.>"I'm such a badass, witness me fistfight a monster that routinely kills jaguars">"...why can I see my own guts?"
If everybody had a pet anteater and took them out for walks, they would keep our sidewalks clean.

There needs to be some kind of service where you can have one or two hungry anteaters walk around your yard and destoy ant hills. Would be more eco friendly than poison and you'd get to see some anteaters.
>>4772507Anteaters would starve to death if they eliminated entire ant colonies instead of leaving enough alive for them to rebuild their numbers.
>>4760345that why it's dogshit?
>>4772750Here's a historical anecdote for you. When the nazis wanted to prove the superiority of their based-and-redpilled art, they organised two exhibitions side by side. One featured the modern art produced in the Weimar republic, the other, neoclassical art they've been funding. It backfired spectacularly as everybody flocked to see the "degenerate" exhibition instead of boring neoclassical crap.
>>4772890Yes, and people are more eager to watch porn than read shakespeare. They lack principles, most of them are basically monkeys that want to see new thing however bad and really want to see sex.That doesn't own the nazis. It actually proved them right about the state of the german people. Too bad about the part where they crammed well meanining matzo shop owners into death camps to make them pay for the actions of finacnial moguls in england and invaded poland, france, and russia for ????
>>4772890sounds to me like the only thing that proves is that germany was still filled with leftoid scum from the nightmare days of weimar and thus people who would find that crap appealing
>>4772899>Too bad about the part where they crammed well meanining matzo shop owners into death campsI bet you think Hamas beheaded 40 babies and then cooked them in ovens. It is always the same atrocity propaganda with jews. Learn to filter it out.

>>4737736Nigga you literally can't own anything here. All (mammals, fish, lizard, insects) native animals are illegal in most states. It is only enforced if you make a scene though. Some peta retards or similar must've slid their anti animals in captivity rhetoric into the green ideology, because every normie believes that harvesting any wild animal from the wild to for husbandry makes you a selfish tiger king narcisist who is killing the environment, thus even random minnows being illegal to catch and keep in your fish tank.
