Can someone suggest a simple, private camera I can put in my yard to observe all the different animals that visit me when I'm not looking?
I've seen evidence of a ton of them and personally seen raccoons, deer, possums, and owls. Would love some night vision shots

Ring cameras are actually not bad, there are spotlight ones (you can disable the light so as not to startle critters) and they take 2 batteries that are rechargeable. You can even set it up with solar, and being able to see the critters on a timeline is cool. Subscription tho so that kinda sucks but is worth it for the little critters

It's a case of "the few bones we have look the most like the same bones on this other dinosaur so we are going to reconstruct it like that until we have more material".
But of course you already knew that.

It's disheartening how even genuinely intelligent people like Bob Gymlan can get caught up in the Bigfoot nonsense. They basically ignore all the evidence against and go "he's out there i just know it bro i just know it they can't keep hiding him forever"

Lol one time it rained and there were so many covering every square inch of my the sidewalks of my university campus it was IMPOSSIBLE to not step on some. Everyone was trying their best not to because it's A) Gross or B) Needlessly Violent but you literally could not step anywhere. I don't know what set of natural phenomena coincided to cause the great worm holocaust but I've never seen it that bad since.

Is it considered convergent evolution how carnivorous plants like the venus flytrap evolved to have fang-like spikes for trapping their prey which look a lot like the fangs of carnivorous animals, or how their insect-trapping mechanism looks very similar to an animal biting something?

>In the case of the flytrap the "teeth" for a cage so the prey can't escape until the trap closes completely
There are many examples of teeth doing that. Baleen that anon mentioned is one example. Picrel is another. This fish doesn't have the jaw strength to bite chunks out of prey, and the teeth are the wrong shape for that. The teeth form a cage to entrap small prey. Some kinds of teeth, like molars, are used for grinding up food. But other kinds of teeth have other functions.

First pet I've ever had to put down. I was glad I was able to do it at home, so she was comfortable...but I feel very empty now. The yard feels very vacant and quiet. She should be there, but she's not. I hope she knew how much she was loved.

This is a Gaboon Viper. It is one of few snakes that moves straight instead of slithering. It is also known for having the world's longest fangs

The one time making a dinosaur a very bright color worked. Tho that's probably because it was designed by people with talent and not some random on Deviantart
