What bug is this?
>>
>>5053990
It's a smooshed German cockroach. But don't worry, you will soon have lots and lots more friemds to replace her :)
>>
>>5053990
Is a baby cockroach, before it shed it skin, if you saw a single and lonely baby, you won't have a problem, just clean up and spray poison in holes and drain grates, nownif you seen various adults and even healthy, prey, prey that your nighbore is not pig.

> 95% of the adult horn shark's diet consists of hard-shelled mollusks (e.g. bivalves and gastropods), echinoderms (e.g. sea urchins) and crustaceans (e.g. crabs, shrimp, and isopods). To crack their shells, the horn shark generates the highest known bite force relative to its size of any shark, well in excess of other measured species

A fish subsiting entirely on nuts and fruit that fall in the river is a pretty stupid niche.

>>5054353
That's a "Sheepshead" and those teeth are for eating barnacles off of rocks and pilons. They're fun to catch, have large black and white vertical stripes and are pretty good eating too.

Does this cat look fat? His waist doesn't go past his shoulders when he's standing and you really can't pinch anything besides skin on him and the vet didn't say anything about his weight, but he looks chunky when he's on his back. But he's also real fluffy for a short hair, especially his belly.

Whale shark/great white shark hybrids exist. They were created in a lab as an experiment and released into the Pacific Ocean. This is a fact you can uncover with enough research. It occured back around year 2000. Possibly a bit earlier. I remember reading about it in the news and thought it was reckless of the scientists to do this, but they believed the sharks to be sterile and incapable of reproducing and could no longer afford to keep them captive.

Pic is only semirelated. The real ones look just like great whites with weird markings.

I don't believe in bigfoot but you fags are so annoying. It's fun to speculate about it and other cryptids without smartasses saying "ERRMM ITS NOT REAL". You niggers probably ruin Christmas for little kids too.

You can't really compare cryptids & folklore that has decades, even hundreds, of years of storytelling & lore behind it to a random post about silly hybrid sharks without even a good creepypasta attached.

People misuse the term animals in my native language all the time too. I wonder where this confusion comes from. Is it just NPC nature to default animals to mammals?

it's like drawing a distinction in being gay vs being a faggot if that helps

Been working with Camponotus chromaiodes a lot lately. Got a couple nice colonies these past couple weeks and I've been looking for a 100+ worker colony for some lab work. I've identified one nest with some 500 workers. Anyone have any research specimens or microscope shots they'd like to show off ??

very nice indeed. Yes, Camponotus pennsylvanicus is an American species. A friend of mine here bought two Myrmecia brevinoda queens. I know one of the queens has developed a thriving colony, not sure about the other one. Was amazing to see a 32mm ant in person. Seems Dinoponera gigantea still hold the throne for the biggest workers.

Here in America, we are told that Myrmecia stings can kill you. We are also told that Myrmecia stings are the most painful ant sting in the world. Makes for a rather intimidating pet, no ?? Australian ants are highly coveted here, and are a rare import, usually costing thousands of USD.

>large sheep farm with the occasional boulder

Just based off this, I'm assuming its some sort of grassy plains area then, right ?? Here, we usually find Formica in these types of ecological sites. Also, about those boulders, certain species of ants that can be rather difficult to acquire can be found under or inside the cracks in boulders. If the boulder is small enough to lift, that is.

If you want, you can send me some pictures of ants you were wondering about on their IDs and I could have my ID team take a look at them. Or you can post them on iNat and have some other people look at them. I will need a general location (like a province) for where they were collected, though. If you have a microscope in working order, that might be important.

Also, managed to collect a pair of male and female Platycryptus undatus from a pile of bricks the other day. Hoping to get them to mate, though I don't have Drosophila melanogaster to feed the slings.

Sorry for barging in but found this little bugger on my floor. Any ideas? Cheers lads

We can extrapolate from this quite easily.

83.2% of furries are white.

https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furry_Survey

Around 13~15% of furries identify as zoophiles.

Therefore if we combine the two statistics, zoophiles are predominantly white and this is from anonymous self-reporting.

75% of sneeds are chucks and 25% identify as cucks. Clearly, 100% of chucks are cucks. Sneed.
