Tortoise
I say this without exageration: I trully think they are some of the dumbest fucking animals out there. My mother has a Horsefield and a Goldfish and despite the latter being confined to a tank it seems far more aware than the turtle. As soon as you enter the room the Goldfish comes out from it's hidey hole and will follow you across the length of the tank as you move around the room, it will even spit water out from the top of the tank if it hasn't been fed yet. My father can even tickle it, but the turtle? She's a rock with legs. If she isn't burrowed she is getting stuck because her fatass thought she could fit between the back of a sofa and wall and if she's not getting stuck she will starve herself because her food doesn't have red pepper on it. Doesn't matter if it's green or yellow pepper, she won't touch it unless it's red. No social or emotional attachment/bond despite my mother being autistic around her care and enviroment, she's just a rock. Unless you have a giant yard and want an Aldabra which are naturally social due to their social structures in the wild along with the fact they fucking kick ass, turtles are really low on the reptile rung.
>>5158282I had a frog and I believe frogs take the crown of retardation. The frog was so retarded I had to wiggle it's food for a good 3minutes in front of its head so it would realise that it's indeed food
>>5158301Frogs definitely take the cake. At least tortoises are curious, but frogs are almost like motion detecting robots.
>>5158307Leopard geckos are in-between the stupidity chart between frog and tortoise from my experience. I used to own one 8 years ago and the little bastard had to be hand fed like a baby at times with how hard it was for it to snatch up a simple mealworm, even with the lights off which is better for their vision. Still they performed better than my frog, which sometimes doesn't even notice an insect crawling right on top of it. Makes me wonder how these goobers survive in the wild.
actual t-rex sound. this is probably some of the viscerally disturbing shit i've ever heardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydu5bMbJO5E

>>5155272Feels like it's trying to hard to be spooky, like, half of those sound like generic demonic sounds
>>5158149How do you know what a demon sounds like?
>>5158175>How do you know what a demon sounds like?Simple, I'm schizo.Real answer tho, I meant those generic demonic sounds you see in media, not REAL (provided they're real) demon sounds
>>5158109He said "related to", not "are". Are you ESL?
>sleeps for 13 years>wakes up and screams for 3 months>refuses to elaborate>dies
>>5157568Sounds like a woman.
>>5158057Remove yourself
>>5157568Sounds like my wife!
>>5157568they're not sleeping, they're on the root sucking sigma grindset all for a short but glorious period of sex and debauchery before getting eaten by everyone.
Post animals that instill a fear of dread into you, animals that tell you there is no god or if there is he's a sick bastard for making it.For instance, Cymothoa exigua, the tongue eating louse. It severs the blood vessels in a host's tongue making it rot and fall off, then, taking its place, feeds on the host's blood, mucus, and bits of whatever the fish eats.

>>5157934wtf is that
I just learned that it's possible that right before lightning is about to hit you individual hair might stand up from your head and arms and that this is basically nature's last fucking warning that you should instantly crouch with your feet together, your hands on your ears and your mouth open
>>5156760Getting struck by lightning fucks up your nervous system. A lot of survivors suffer with neurological and psychological issues. Suicide rate is high ironically.
>>5156760Find a tall building, get to its roof, put on a tin foil hat, and curse the name of Thor. You'll get your wish.
>>5156760>eastern North Carolinahad a few strikes that were close enough to make me jump this yearalso pretty sure the government is hiding the fact that summer is never going to end out here
>>5150073You're not tricking me with that again.
>>5157943wat
why is he so insufferable??
>>5105336>It can be found anywhere, even ResetEra (Gross I know)If you distain using ResetEra so much (you obviously don't, but I'm pretending you aren't one of their faggot regulars), why not use one of the other sources that supposedly can be found 'everywhere'?
>>5125555He probably has hundreds of T rex videos at this point
>>5155637He probably means the toxic masculinity one. In which case i don't blame him, that shit has to be one of the most retarded videos i have ever seen
If Tierzoo didn’t have the “educational” schtick and the retarded fans who parrot it I wouldn’t really mind his existence.
maybe he likes Giraffes> Studies of wild giraffe populations have reported that up to 94% to 95% of observed mounting and sexual activity occurs between males
>A record 90 chicks have been added to the count of the endangered kakapo parrot, bringing the population to a record 325 birds, the New Zealand Conservation Department said in a statement Tuesday. >The fledglings of the bird, which is native to New Zealand, were bred this year. The youngest is now 150 days old, a milestone at which the baby birds are considered independent enough to be added to the tally. >“There is still a long road of recovery ahead, but ninety chicks in a single season is a record. In the early years of recovery, it took 16 years to produce that many chicks,” said Deidre Vercoe, manager of the department’s kakapo recovery operations.>“We had a four-year gap between breeding seasons, so it’s fantastic to finally see the population increase,” she said in a statement. “It’s also a significant milestone for the species, as the last time the population is thought to have exceeded 300 birds may have been as long as 75 years ago.”>The Kakapo Recovery Programme began in 1995 with a population of just 51 birds, including only 20 females. Since then, the species has been through 13 breeding seasons, with recovery efforts working to overcome challenges associated with low genetic diversity, including infertility and poor hatching success. The successful season also highlights the importance of creating more predator-free habitats for the species.https://www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/kakapo-parrot-baby-boom-worlds-heaviest-bird-rise-new-zealand-rcna595479
>>5157704What's the point of expending energy to build a nest high up on a tree or fly when there are no predators on your island? Retards don't understand that they never had to deal with any of this at all for generations until unnatural invasive predators and pests invaded their habitat because of humans, like cats.
>>5157533>The current population of Pere David's Deer is descended from a mere 11 individuals.>Przewalski's horse is descended from 10 individuals (9 Zoo horses that survived WWII and a single wild caught mare).It's been done with less before, so long as they keep track of the bloodlines it can be done for Kakapos as well.
>>5157533I remember they saved an entire deer species with only 5 females left
>>5157533>>5157738>>5157991>the inbreeding problemI wonder if they will someday slightly alter the DNA of sperm or eggs so even if the donors are siblings the offspring aren't technically incest babies.
>>5157468Nice bird that
IF HANDS ARE SOOOO GOOD THEN WHY DON'T WAY MORE ANIMALS HAVE THEM? HUH?
Do birds like being pet I like holding and petting my pet chickens and they don't seem to hate it but does it illicit a similar response to the one dogs have?
>>5157115Some do.
>>5157115depends where u pet em.if u touch some birds in the wrong places they think its sexual and it can cause some confusion.
>>5157115depends
Damn is this true?
Polar Grizzlies are super cute though.
I get the sense that this is a thinly veiled racism thread but i don't see what his point is
>>5157831segregation probably
>>5157831He's retarded and doesn't understand that bear species have been separated for millions of years compared to at most a few thousand for human groups.
>>5157895What difference does that make?
I'm going to unbun the pun bun!

>>5157103False flag, it's a real video
>>5156522Are there any good educational channels that aren't clanker slop you guys recommend? I already know Ze Frank and Casual Geographic but I'd like to find more.
>>5157114Why would i want to watch that?
I just found out that that's Ben Affleck. I'm not a movie guy and couldn't give less of a shit about celebrity so while I've heard/read the name, I wouldn't have ever been able to pick him out of a crowd.>>5157671Because animals are neat.
What species should we bring with us when we colonize space?
>>5157225Roaches and mosquitos.
Kiwi's. The bird, the fruit, and the people.
All the dwarf and pygmy animals.
>>5157323>in a decade.In a decade you will be worrying more about how to survive next year not dreaming about fantasy moon landings.
>>51576202 more weeks and the world collapses bro trust me
Temperate rainforests are by far the best biome. They have all the lushness and beauty of tropical rainforests, without the snakes, spiders, mosquitoes, anacondas, crocodiles, jaguars, tigers, etc.
>>5155376I actually like all the snakes, spiders, mosquitoes, anacondas, crocodiles, jaguars, tigers, etcIt's just that they're all filled with machete wielding maniacs :(
>>5155376That is a photo from dinosaur island
>>5155376I just think theyre cooler than tropical rainforests
>>5156220I don't believe you like mosquitoes
>no anacondasTemperate rainforests suck.
