Previously on /jef/ >>5147139Who 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.
Idiot Jef can’t find the crickethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=larOVLMW2HA
yo guys, let’s agree to cool it with the /an/lympics crusading. I appreciate the support for Jef but it’s only going to paint a bigger target on his back. I’m not really sure why there are people with a visceral hateful reaction toward him but it’s 4chan, so it goes without saying that it just comes with the territory.
>>5152218Does jef always sit in the driver's seat on car rides? It looks like the car makes him sleepy

>>5151862Neos can thrive on dust they’ll be fine
>>5151814I love looking at my tank in the dark and seeing the tv perfectly reflected in it. I wonder if they see a tony soprano's giant face projected on the side and think he's going to feed them.
>>5151820I got a pack of ones like your pic and so far only use it for getting my test tubes even but they seem pretty accurate. My barbs appear to get a kick out of it when I squirt them with it and it feels like I could directly feed them with it. You can suck up the tiniest ammount of water into the tip so soft food in water should work nicely.
>>5151822The beauty of fish keeping is that if you do five minutes of research, you then get weeks to do research while your tank cycles.
The eggs have survived 24 hours. This is a new record, normally they get eaten not long after being laid. If they hatch, I don't know what I'm going to do with 100 baby discus.

>>5152229Shit, that is a good point. Plus Koko the Gorilla. I love 'phants but can't name a specific one, unlike those two. Good reasoning.
>>5152235Good point. And Koko was based, knew sign language and loved cats
I wish I got to see the Great Auk or Haast's eagle
>>5151021This actually sounds cartoonishly evil. What a horrific way to end a species.
>>5152207humans.... unrealOn the islet of Stac an Armin, St. Kilda, Scotland, in July 1840, the last great auk seen in Britain was caught and killed.[54] Three men from St. Kilda caught a single "garefowl", noticing its little wings and the large white spot on its head. They tied it up and kept it alive for three days, until a large storm arose. Believing that the bird was a witch and was causing the storm, they then killed it by beating it with a stick.[9][55]Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson, the men who had killed the last birds, were interviewed by great auk specialist John Wolley,[59] and Sigurður described the act as follows: The rocks were covered with blackbirds [guillemots] and there were the Geirfugles ... They walked slowly. Jón Brandsson crept up with his arms open. The bird that Jón got went into a corner but [mine] was going to the edge of the cliff. It walked like a man ... but moved its feet quickly. [I] caught it close to the edge – a precipice many fathoms deep. Its wings lay close to the sides – not hanging out. I took him by the neck and he flapped his wings. He made no cry. I strangled him.[8]:82–83
>>5151837It's telling you focus on that but completely ignore the Englishman's account about how their Navy systemically slaughtered them
>>5152005Tell me how the existence of the great auk and the monk seal was impairing human life
>>5152005>they're walking "conservation" back so the rest of us can live better livesLolLmao even
Why did nature make these rabies-magnet pests so adorable?
>>5151488They are next in line to develop opposable thumbs, but for now they have to look cute to survive humanity.
Because without them the opossum would be OP.
Wonderful raccys
I understand people being against eating dogs and stuff>nooooo my pet-inosssssbut this is going too far
>>5151977Vegans are superior slaves. Just look at india. They pursue veganism to enforce caste. Only wealthy people can attain even 90% of their genetic potential without meat, which keeps most people artificially stunted. A poorer or less educated vegan just gets sick and grows up small and retarded. At the end of it very few animals have real world moral value because our interactions with them ultimately affect other humans and both individual and group fitness. The assumed moral value of most animals only exists in hallucinated spiritual terms. And vegans simply lack any prophets and goss outside of south asian slave religions whose fruits are apparent
>>5151965A Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter while its own life is spared. The term is a reference to Judas Iscariot, an apostle of Jesus Christ who betrayed Jesus as told in the New Testament of the Bible.
>>5151977>guaranteed seething replies
>>5152020Only Jains are vegan, the majority of Indians consume dairy
There's only superficial differences between dogs and octopus. Eat both or neither.
so recently there have been talks of some undescribed well preserved Allosaurus jimmadseni fossils that have preserved soft tissues including its lips! Brian Engh (yes I know) got access to these fossils and made a statue bust of Allosaurus, it’s about as ugly as you’d expect and filled with Enghisms like a literal toupee but that’s not important, what is important is the facial tissue he based off of the actual fossil. Pic related is cropped for the sake of keeping thread on topic but as you can see the lips have pits for the upper teeth to slot into.

Anyone here have a snowshoe? I got one and she's a little shit but I love her
I used to take her outside on a leash, but she started to get extremely upset when it was time to go inside, so I just keep her inside now.
>>5151838White feets, blue eyes, and mischievous is definitely a snow shoe, she's adorable bro
One thing ive also noticed about my snowshoe is the kink at the end of her tail which is a common trait for these cats
>>5151866Ty! Yours is very cute as well. I like the asymmetrical patterning. It's unique. Apparently snowshoes are quite a rare breed, so I was kind of shocked a random ass super friendly kitten just appeared one day.She was 5lbs when I found her and was intact, so she must have either been a stray or someone was keeping her to breed kittens with.Is yours super friendly towards strangers? For the holidays I have the extended family over and there will be like 15 people in the same room and she's just in her usual spot on top of the recliner like nothing has changed.
I thought it was funny and likes seeing their organs.>Grow up>Feel overwhelming guilt for hurting so many snails >They did nothing wrong, they just wanted to have a good day>Try and be kinder to snails nowPlease try and teach your kids that snails are not bad creatures and just want to have a good day.It sounds dumb but I genuinely feel like such an asshole for how many snails I just let die in slow horrible ways for nothing but my twisted childhood entertainment, only to see them now as something totally wholesome and sweet
I used to put salt on them and slugs.I feel so guilty subjecting them to that torture.
>>5142806I think it's a natural impulse for kids. They're interested in seeing inside stuff, including living things. Experiencing what it's like to open up snails, insects, animals, etc is pretty typical childhood behavior. You eventually learn enough and grow out of it. Only things you repain curious about are how what people are like inside. All the hidden things going on inside the human body that are so hard to see first hand. It's a mystery always pressing at the back of the mind. Such a a strong urge.
>>5145364Sharks need to be killed off too. Except maybe lemon sharks, they are potentially dangerous but they are mostly adorable.
>>5142806i accidentally stepped on a snail when i was a kid once and i got so grossed out by the sound and how it looked i would always check the sidewalk for snails and be careful to not step on them. they're interesting animals.
show them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn8a3QzuABgI am a bird enthusiast who loves watching and feeding our local birds. I am frankly getting really sick of all the house cats roaming around the parks I frequent for my birding endeavors. I once caught a cat sneaking up to my favorite crow and had to alarm it by scaring it off, temporarily severing our trust and relationship.
>>5151989What are we arguing about then? Semantics? I need to specify that I love vertebrates and like some invertebrates?
I think there's some friendly fire going on in this thread.
>>5151991That not hating or hating "animals" is not relevant at all here at all.
My mother keeps feeding strays.Cats are cute, but after observing their behavior they are 100% the niggers of the animal kingdom. They only take and give nothing.
>>5151430I'm starting to think cats shouldn't be pets at all. I've had outdoor cats for most of my life and am raising my first indoor one and she seems bored as fuck most of the time. I understand why outdoor cats are bad so I don't want to do that either anymore. I'll buy a fancy laser pointer but I doubt that will keep her engaged for long.

>>5151998What food are you feeding your cat?
>>5152000Both wet and dry, tried different brands/types, but the liquid shits remained. Well, on and off but lately a lot more often.He also has severe dental issues and will need a few teeth removed. My neglect is in part to blame, but it's too late. I do wonder if it's related though.
>>5152002Ditch the dry food. It's more expansive but your little nigga is worth it.
>>5152006I guess that's another option to consider. Not so sure it'd help though.
My cat is having the hiccups for a whole day, some persistent coughing and he ate like 15% of what he normally used to. At least he is drinking water. I THINK he half-swallowed some piece of plastic, he is not much of a hairball cat. I think he just needs to puke it out, but he is not letting it go all the way. Is there anything I can do? If he is not better by tomorrow morning, I'll take him to the vet.
