>>5123838The world record for rod and reel caught Tuna was 1496 lbs. They are big fish.
>>5122232The shorter size estimate is for if they’re wrong about which version of the dumbo octopus body plan it uses. It’ll be thick as hell if it’s 7 meters long
>>5118742Nah, that we have a Meg at average blue whale sizes rules that out.But to be fair, whatever size you can put on the octopus you can probably near double for the truly large specimens.
>>5123838There is a video of a Tuna moving past an oil rig support in deep waters, they estimate it at 5+ meters, which might be pushing it, but it seems about right.
>>5122207Conservative estimates had Megalodon at 12 meters, then we found an 11 meter spine, the full size is likely around 16.4 meters, and with a preexisting meg vertebrae over 1.4x the size we're looking at a 24+ meter Meg.Conservative fags are as unreliable as the sensationalist fags. It's just engagement farming for clout at the end of the day anyway for paleonerds.
Norwood status?

I love birds, cats, dogs, I love many animals in fact.But I fucking HATE insects, bugs and crustaceans, man. They're all so disgusting and freaky. I don't understand how some people manage to hold them in their hands.
>>5121433Skill issue
>>5121433I lkie crabs
>>5121433The frog in your pic thinks you're a pussyass bitch and would eat your so-called 'disgusting and freaky' bugs in a heartbeat.
>>5121433I don't like them either, but I wouldn't go out of my way to kill them unless they're violating the NAP

>>5121191Boring post
>>5121003That rat is suffering from a burning sensation on its skin
>>5121151Based OP
While you wasted your time developing mating displays I studied placental birth.While you hoarded the diurnal niches I mastered nocturnal survival.While you perfected your apex predator hunting skills in pursuit of vanity I cultivated inner strength.And now that the asteroid is at the gate and the world is on fire you have the audacity to call me for help?
>>5119771The impact would not have looked like a burning rock flying through the sky. The estimated size of the Chicxulub asteroid was between 10 -15 kilometers in diameter, which itself is already nearly the height of the troposphere and vastly exceeding the size of mount Everest, while potentially made of heavier material. All of this moving at about 20 km/s or 45,000 mph, or 30 times faster than a high-power bullet. It would have barely entered the upper atmosphere before igniting it entirely, touching down while its upper extreme was still in the stratosphere. It would have looked more like a small moon drifting towards the surface before igniting the entire horizon brighter than a thousand suns than your classic image of a long-tailed fireball. It's no wonder these animals were absolutely fucked, human beings have never seen anything like it and probably would not survive it either. "Cataclysm" doesn't begin to describe this event.
>>5119782>the dinosaurs... where are they now..?>you're looking at one, asshole
>>5121876>>5119782No more neosynapsid-true archosaurs war, I just want pet pug croc (simosuchus)....
>>5119782You can't say "birds don't count" when none of the extant mammal taxa existed in their current forms during the Mesozoic
>>5121876birds are unstoppable
>getting a border collie will force me to exercise or something
>>5122977if I'm 270 what dog should I get to start exercising. thinking of getting less and less lazy dogs overtime until I can just sprint with a greyhound
>>5122993Since you determine what your dog does, your dog will probably just adopt your bad habits. You should try and start regularly walking and calculating your calorie deficits and lose some weight before getting a dog. It's mostly just a process of building good habits.

share some animal names that sound funny when translated from your own languagein danish a bat is called flagermustranslated that would be a flappy mouse
>>5117360"koira" is probably just a common word that forms lots of compounds, like in German
>>5117239in Japanese they're known as koomori
>>5114928Raccoons are known as washing-bears in other languages like German, Hungarian, and Japanese
>>5113073Here's some Romanian onesTurtle = Broască țestoasă = Shelled frogPorcupine = Porc-spinos = Thorny pigLadybug = Buburuză = Little bumpDragonfly = Calul dracului = The devil's horseBat = Liliac = LilacCockroach = Gândacul de bucătărie = Kitchen beetleLynx = Râs = Laugh
>>5122688In french raccoons are called "raton laveurs" which literally means washing baby rat, but raton more commonly refers to raccoons than it does to baby rats, so it's more like the french word for raccoon is just washing raccoon.
What arguments could you bring in favor of this? There are other ways to mentally stimulate animals besides having them experience a hunting sequence (that you have made easy for them, barring a few scratches). Add to this the fact that it's mostly done with reptiles who have lower mental stimulation needs. It's marginally less bad when you use live insects, but not by much.
>>5122942>mass produced live mice are just dumped in a freezer and frozen aliveNo they aren’t. They frozen after they’re killed>Even if someone uses CO2It’s not “even if”. CO2 is the standard practice>Does this look more humane than suffocation by a snake?Yes, because it completely removes the risk posed to the snake which in itself is an ethical consideration
>>5123254> CO2 is the standard practiceYeah, and it’s shit, because it causes the tetrapod drowning reflex. It’s not a humane way to euthanize. Pure nitrogen or carbon monoxide, or other inert gas would be way more humane, but would also be more burdensome on the producer due to more challenging safety requirements.CO2 is detectable by the workers due to the same drowning panic response it induces in the rats, but humane gasses are not, which is why everyone uses CO2 because no one wants to pay for SCBAs and the worker training required to use them.
>>5123310>Yeah, and it’s shit, because it causes the tetrapod drowning reflexI didn’t say it was good. I just said that rats aren’t killed by freezing

IT'S A DOUBLE TORNADO IT GOES ALL THE WAY
>>5122361>Do they even occur anywhere else on earth?Yes, specifically, mostly in Europe where those colonists came from. However you don't get EF-5s outside of Tornado Alley in the US, and Canada or at least we haven't observed them. While relatively rare, there's tornadoes every year in Europe. One killed 70 in the 1860s, and there was a story that over 500 Italians had died of another a few years earlier, but there's little proof of that number.

>>5123433They can have drop ears at times.
>>5123206In 5 years shit wouldn't happen. That's not nearly enough time for any huge evolutionary changes.
>>5123440This. There are dogs in Chernobyl that still look like the average pound mutt
>>5123215>the original natural condition of dogs looks like a shiba inuAnon, they would look like the pic in the OP. It's not a "pit mix", what it is describing is more akin to a sighthound such as the saluki or basenji. Dogs were likely domesticated twice which leads to the two distinct phenotypes with one more akin to the akita, but that is only true of the east asian bloodlines.
that's the past tho not the future, stupid blog spam
100% certified that it will save us from the hentaivirus, do you agree anon?
Are there any authentic Cambrian or Precambrian fossils that can be bought online for reasonable prices? I'd love a Charnia or Vetulicolia or something but I'm sure they're not easy to come by. Seems like all you can get for under $300 are fuckass Devonian trash fossils. No, I don't want your shitty 3-inch plainspiral ammonites or disarticulated crinoid stems

Why are we getting spammed with so many low effort cat threads?It’s very inorganic. Like when there’s 5 threads bitching about scientifically accurate dinosaur redesigns.
>>5122125It's just the usual console wars again. One retard of one side says something bad about the other side so one of the other side spams in retaliation.That being said it doesn't have to be the case here since the op cat is a classic and worth a thread every now and then.
