>Perhaps there's a primal urge that keeps drawing us back to Africa for inspiration. After all, this is our fourth model straight from the savannah. If our arousing adventure across Africa has awoken some primal urges within you, it's time to accquaint yourself with the lengthy lance of the giraffe.

those arent the real fossils dumbass
the stuff on display like that is a replica
do you honestly think they're going take one of a tiny handful of complete skeletal fossils, in some cases potentially the only one mankind will ever discover, and just put it out in some room and hope that a pack of niggers dont randomly decide to destroy it?

they aren't making any more dinosaurs
fossils like that are far too rare and valuable to display to the public, and for what? you gain nothing from seeing the real thing that you wouldn't get from seeing a replica

It came out of the dirt in a million pieces. You can't really destroy it any worse than how it started

I have a rat in the kitchen.
He's shrewd. Steals potatoes out of the traps without setting them off.
I've already cut off all sources of food and water and laid out poison and traps. Also a ramikin with salt water in hopes he'll dehydrate himself, but I have my doubts.

Any good ideas?

I love pet rats, but this guy is no pet.

I once found my cat in a closet I know I haven't opened since I moved in and the only rational explanation I can come up with is that the cat quantum tunneled into the closet.

No you just need to stop having wolves where the ecosystem has already adapted to their absence

>>5164437
Ironically wolves are safer than pitbulls. Pitbulls are dishonestly signaling prey-driven fighting dogs. Wolf body language/vocalization is very clear and more complex and obvious than most dogs. They're definitely prone to attacking visitors and other animals regardless.

You’re not asking the big questions such as which humans

This is what it actually looks like y the way
>>
>>5164145
While facetious, this is actually an interesting question.
1) Amphibians have permeable skin, which necessitates low amounts of keratin, which in turn makes their physiology directly opposed to forming "real" claws.
2) Bones can be harder anyway. Keratin just has the advantage of being more easily grown as claws are invariably exposed to wear.
3) Mechanically, their claw biology is actually pretty similar, although more simplified, to a mammal claw.

Never posted on this board before so sorry if something is wrong.
Never owned a camera before, only taken pictures with my phone
Decided to splurge on an om-3 camera and took some photos of some real cuties.
Tried posting in /p/ but faggots had to ruin it.
Dont think 4chan will keep the original 4k quality and i would have to compress it so i made an album herehttps://imgur.com/a/rQb6g3Z

Do you like small Appalachian towns, they are the best. Middle of nowhere, the road followed the hill because the hill was there first, you walk until you're in nature without deciding to. The trees at the edges, birds chirping, and at dusk the porches come out, sweet tea, rain smell on asphalt, the whole place just sitting there between the ridge and the river not trying to be anything else.
>>
>>5162572
On one hand, I love them for the reasons you mentioned. They are a good balance between a civilized town and living in nature. It makes people appreciate nature. I will always choose to live in one.

On the other hand, there are too many. They cause habitat fragmentation, wildlife corridor disruption, more human-wildlife conflict (which fuels support for wildlife destruction), and runoff and contamination from septic systems. Among other issues.

Call me hypocritical but I wish less people lived in small towns and suburban neighborhoods, and more in dense cities to leave the rest of the land alone for other animals.

>There's no cheap horse
>>
>>5164159
This horses can be extremely cheap or free. Especially when hay cost is up. Expect lots of cheap or free horses this year as hay production was way down and will be expensive this winter.
>>
>>5164159
I meant that there is no cheap horse in the sense that even a free horse comes with costs of care. Unless they are shipped immediately to slaughter, which does probably happen, a horse is prohibitively expensive.
