Sorry I've been MIA it's been kind of a rough patch for me, but I'm going to try and get back at it and post a platypus every day until all of an wants a puggle to snuggle
This is your daily reminder to want a platypus
This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.
>>5112074what do you mean want a platypus? you can't have a platypus
>>5112099Not with that attitude you can't. But in all seriousness I've gone over it before. These threads started out kind of as a joke the day after SakuraFish got the perma ban on /a/. Then it kinda grew into something else. The point is to get people interested and vested in them and other unique and threatened species so that they will want to support the conservation efforts to protect them. Besides it never hurts to dream big. Mine is to have some property likely a small orchard farm in platypus territory with a well maintained and stocked "farm pond" on it. Hopefully one fed by a small creek. Platypuses love habitats like that and they tend to be highly successful and reproductive in them. So technically I wouldn't "have" a platypus in the strictest sense of the word. I would just have land specifically beneficial, clean and, safe for them to live on. That's the dream anyways. Some people have pulled it off already. One of the most notable being the Tasmanian Salmon ponds just a couple of miles north west of Hobart in well, Tasmania obviously. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r6bUx-1hX5Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMjM6JF-A8https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bPEKuCUFIfIThe platypus is at the very end of this one. They actually like the fish food pellets and a couple of them tend to hang out there for the clean water and free food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6WDSdEA_l0Plus I've been doing this for like 13 years already and I don't know what I would do in my life without it. No mater how stupid the world gets I can always come here and platypost.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus

I’ve got a tank full of hornet shrimp.Call them my Killa bees.Just ordered pic for the tank.Going to do a Wu Tang aquascape.
Finally got a hold of some green kubotais and they're great little fish, very active and curious and they're actually brightly coloured not memed under ridiculous light filters. Very happy.

I have a french bulldog. Not because I bought him but he was out wandering one day and he was panting heavily. So I took him back to my home. I posted online for others to see if they lost a dog. No response. So I took him in. Now he is eating home-cooked meals and chilling most of the day. Not an active dog but that's okay he gets his little walk in during the morning or evening when it's cool. Plus, he likes to sleep under my arm dude is so chill, very cool dog, I love him. Hell, I've even considered fixing the breed by finding out which dogs would help elongate the frenchie snout while also keepin' them chill dudes.
Anyway I can just ask a vet questions without paying for a vet visit?
>>5112037Not unless you can find a gay one who is down to take your questions while he takes your bussy. Yachts don't pay for themselves you know.Try LLMs if it's not a serious problem. Your odds of getting misled aren't too bad if you cross reference at least two different models.
My university biology professor told us that nature is essentially "matriarchal." For a moment, I didn't quite understand her argument, so she cited several examples from various phyla where there is a "matriarchal" structure, and concluded that no animal is truly patriarchal; there are only patriarchal aspects. She said that lions, for example, cannot be patriarchal. Does anyone know if there is serious research on this? She seemed a bit biased to me.
>>5112172>All of nature is matriarchalMost plants have both male and female partsBees have three genders, queen, worker and droneClownfish can change gender based on sociological conditions.In sea horses the men give birthIn Hyenas the females have the bigger penis.To conclude all of nature is one way or the other is so ignorant of a statement I can only assume a woman made it.
>>5112173Literally, and I'm not being ironic, my friend said the same thing. Regardless of our conclusions about human life, I don't believe it's useful to use animals as a benchmark, and I think she did it consciously, trying to legitimize the critical theory of "patriarchy" based on nature.

is it unethical to feed a hoers cake?the answer is no horses would love cake and they would love u v. much if you fed them cake
>>5112056A little cake as a treat is nice. A whole wedding cake would be bad for the horse. I prefer beer as a treat for them.
>>5111885Thankfully no, I'd have to stop mowing with the whipper snipper

>>5111887What age? Is surgery an option?How're you doing anon?
>>5111993About 1.5 years. It's all over her lungs so completely inoperable. Vet gave her some steroids and antibiotics for the superimposed respiratory infection I originally brought her in for and said that's pretty much it. I'm feeling pretty numb, I'm a medicfag so I'm very good at compartmentalizing things. But I know this shit is going to hit me sooner or later. Man, it never gets easier with these little fuckers.
>>5112003That's rough anon but it gets better with time. I've found the grieving cycle gets shorter but it's still thereIf its in the lung, its palative care time now, get her favourite treats and give her all the cuddlesI hope she gets closer to 2 years!See >>5110358 for most the tips I have on medicing then but any questions or just need to vent post back here

Why so many Shark Apologists exist? It's clear that Sharks just like to kill in brutal ways, not only for survival. It's easily on par with Pitbull ones.
>>5112089False. I'm more of a Sharks Happen type of guy.
Test
>>5112023As an ex shark hater I must say they dont really deserve the hate. It's jsut evolution gap and they can't be helped but I can try.>>5112033truthnuke>>5112043that was kinda harsh. i know they were rude but you can least turn the other side.>>5112112same with humans after you meat them sometimes

Squirrels are becoming carnivores....
>>5110324they always have been. they are just bushy tailed rats
>>5110324Is this happening worldwide?
>>5111860Yes, the squivemind sent out a new command prerogative: go on a caveman diet, get swole.
>>5112079Can't squirrels use tools like crows too?
>>5111480>“This was shocking,” said lead author Jennifer E. Smith, an associate professor of biology at UW-Eau Claire who leads the long-term ground squirrels project with Sonja Wild of UC Davis. “We had never seen this behavior before. Squirrels are one of the most familiar animals to people. We see them right outside our windows; we interact with them regularly. Yet here’s this never-before-encountered-in-science behavior that sheds light on the fact that there’s so much more to learn about the natural history of the world around us.”>Wild has observed hundreds of squirrels in nature and yet, even for her, when the undergraduate students came in from field work and told her what they had witnessed, she said, “No, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.” Then she watched the video. >“I could barely believe my eyes,” said Wild, a postdoctoral research fellow in the UC Davis Environmental Science and Policy department. “From then, we saw that behavior almost every day. Once we started looking, we saw it everywhere.”Nope, tardbaby, it wasn't observed because they weren't looking. Once they started looking for this behavior, they saw it everywhere. Meaning it's ordinary for these squirrels but it was just never noticed.

COWS DEMONSTRATE FLEXIBLE MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL USECows are now UNDENIABLY far more intelligent than cats and 99% of mammals. If you think it's wrong to eat cats, then you must feel the same way about cows and pigs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGVo41MuLiQ“The only well-documented case of something comparable comes from chimpanzees, on those – also rare – occasions when they fish for termites by combining the functions of the two opposite ends of the same stick,” Osuna-Mascaró told BBC Science Focus.https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/cow-tool-use https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/first-ever-flexible-tool-use-seen-in-a-cow-suggests-livestock-are-smarter/

>>5110617how so? Hitler was a vegetarian
>>5110613>>5112148Hitler lead germany into such a crushing defeat it normalized pushing for the genocide of germans, of the white races that stopped him, and encouraged israel to form and eventually genocide the remaining biblical hebrews and destroy the world economy while using his failed genocide as a shield from criticism. Hitler killed 10x more europeans than jews during the holocaust. Vegetarian L. Meat eaters that are your actual peers are smarter, stronger, and more level headed even before you start starving yourselves. We merely share the same inferiors despite not pulling a hindushitism and separating them by diet.
>>5094279You are just string words together you don't understand
>>5112159he’s right. there is no such thing as good and evil if you do not believe in gods will or something like gods will. if you think you do, you’re still operating in the societal framework created by religion and are basically leeching off christians morals without actually reciprocating by following their entire moral code (no promiscuity, no masturbation, no bestiality, no sloth, 6 day work weeks, no greed, no gluttony, no hot pockets and gaming). the best you can manage is some sort of faggy social contract you’re free to break in private and “i am a principled and honorable intellectual!” larps (you are also free to just do whatever you want regardless of any schopenhauer larping)
We often joke about seals being sea dogs, but do they have any actual relations to canines? Like how whales and horses and distante relatives?
>>5112160according to Wikipedia:>Carnivora are divided into two suborders, the Feliformia, containing the true felids and several "cat-like" animals; and the Caniformia, containing the true canids and many "dog-like" animals.>The caniforms include the Caninae, Procyonidae, bears, mustelids, skunks, and pinnipedsSo yes, dogs are land seals and seals are sea dogs
Post big cats, small wildcats, or anything vaguely feline that isn't a house cat.

The last 30 Asiatic cheetahs in the world are all found in Iran, where they and their habitat are currently being bombed by Blompf and Israel. Their range used to extend into India, but they went extinct there in the 1940s. No captive populations in foreign zoos either. Operation Epstein Fury will likely finish them off.

What would happen if i were to release some Wels catfish in a local pond (southern US) for noodling? The pond isnt usually connected to a large river or something (though sometimes it floods)
>>5106236Someone get this fag's IP.
Wels catfish are delicious
>>5106236dont do that they would 100% escape and become invasive.
>>5106335op would be responsible for releasing an invasive species that has indeterminate growth, lives 70+ years and is known to attack humans into an environment that is both warmer and more abundant in prey than its natural habitat xDthis would be like what's happened in spain but x2
>>5106236If catfishes (the type that lives in eastern europe) could live in oceans, they'd be whale tier and carnivorous, like sea serpents, leviathans. Strongest fish.
