What are the differences in "character" between bears and canines? They seem really similar psychologically
Bears are more similar to felines than anything OP. They even have compareble cognitive compacity
>>4846711they're caniforms so year
>>4846713Literally the first result.Toxoplasmosis fags btfo!
>>4846713They're most related to weasels in both their solitary pump and dump lifestyle and genetics. Which is somewhat cat-like.>>4846756I think what Anom meant is that bears are much more cat-like mentally due to similar social structures (or lack thereof). OP's question wasn't about pure genetic relation, but about behavioral similarity.
>>4846711I'll compare 2 in my area, black bears vs coyotes- bears are more solitary, coyotes travel in packs- bears are opportunistic omnivores and forage berries, garbage, etc. coyotes mostly hunt.- bears don't make a sound except occasional grunting and moaning, coyotes often howl and yip.
New thread to replace the one that reached its post limit.And which was still going surprisingly strong.Let's keep showing that we care about them.
>>4831053*record scratch*
I got some of these near one of my fishing spots. If you do a headbob at them they'll start bobbing back and making their croaking noises.
anyone know what kind of maple this is?
>>4844743Sugar maple. Take good care of it and it will grow beautiful branches and give good autumn color. Water it once every week or two with a full watering can of water with 1 iron pill mixed in and about 1/4 cup urine.
>there are an estimated 10-20,000,000,000,000 ants on earthIs it safe to say it’s ant’s world? They are the most dominant species on earth.

>>4845454I could easily tank 2000 antseven 4k, assuming half of humanity is unable to fight back, seems pretty doable.

What whale is it?, Does it exists?
>>4842452NTA but I remember there was another fantastic creatute in that book, one that appears once and it's never mentioned againA very surreal part of the bookSomething like a kraken, probably much bigget than moby dickI thought that was very weirdDoes anybody remembers that part of the book?
>>4842442It was a demon
Ahab was in the right for wanting to kill that goddamned whale.
>>4842598Hope you never had a burger, cause bud I’m telling you, they are sentient too.
>>4842598I do agree that whaling is unethical and abhorrent. So are zoos.

Faggot thread

>>4846271>>4846188>>4846082Waiting on responses, some folk I'm glad I'm taking care of him,but no actual leads on the actual owners. Had to calm the old boy down due to a local flash flood in the area riling him up to howl. My own shih tzu has never howled yet/before. I'll try to get him checked for a chip as soon as I can, hopefully tomorrow. Is it common for run aways/strays to not have their collar on them?
Studies have shown cat owners to be more intelligent than dog ownersgoogle it

Adopted my first cat yesterday :3Her name is HoneyShe was extremely shy at first and just wanted to sit in the corner but got very curious throughout the night and eventually ended up in my bed with lots of attention, went to sleep purring. I love her and I can't wait to get off work to go see her Has anyone else recently adopted of purchased a new friend?
>>4846098Here he is doing his third favorite activity aside from sleeping and viciously attacking milk bottles - taking a wicked piss while half-asleep. He's figuring out that you have to go to a specific place to piss, so Im building him a tiny litter box to use in his new slightly larger enclosure (he was so young he couldn't thermoregulate so I have him in an old hospital enclosure for a snake, complete with thermostatted heat lamp.
>>4841236Cute kot, much happiness to you two anon.
>>4846098>>4846100Good on you for taking care of the little dude.

took the dog out to piss this morning and this one cicada buzz tone was so high pitched and unique that I thought a fellow synth fag was fucking with FM out on his back porch

>>4844126They are very cute insects, ngl. And they are literally harmless to anything. Only some people get annoyed by their loud sounds.
Apart from maybe some useful bugs like bees or spiders and cephalopods (squids, cuttlefish). I don't consider other invertebrates as alive and I don't feel bad about killing them. They are like machines to me without a brain.
>mainland
I tormented insects in the past, thinking they are not conscious, I'm just taking apart bio machines. But there is growing evidence of insect consciousness so I reflect on this with deep guilt.
>>4846319>growing evidence of insect consciousnessThere are different levels of consciousness which are often no where near compareble to human or most mamals. It was not a nice thing to do anon, but you were likely young and as you said you did so under the idea that they were barely sentient. You cannot be blamed too much for that.
>>4846494I don't remember my age but it was over 18. I had no excuse, I feel horrible about it now. Or why I did it. Some macabre game I played.
>>4846498Now I am kind to all living beings, plants or insects well, except killing some pests like mosquitoes and ants that settled in the home, but that isn't done out of malice either just inconvenience.I hope I can atone for past cruel acts in some way.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that there are large animals that spend their entire lives with nothing but open ocean above, below, and all around them. They spend their entire lives floating around in a blue void. No environmental visual stimuli. Not even getting into the creatures who live deeper than sunlight can reach but still not on the floor. Then, one day, something eats you, and that's it.
>>4846028Ignoring the life and teensy bits of opal, there’s still plenty of visual stimuli. I don’t think our eyes are adapted to see it well, but themoclines and haloclines are still pretty visually striking. Even just the little puddles of soft rain pooling on the ocean’s surface is pretty cool; there’s a video of sea snakes drinking rain that shows it off fairly well. There’s also layers and currents that are drastically chemically distinct from one another. Depth also does some fucky things chemistry-wise, like dissolving all calcium and preventing it from accumulating as sediment.
>>4846028Most fish congregate around structures such as rock, reef, vegetation bed.They only really go through completely open water when they migrating/traveling between those structures
>>4846028>>4846049It's a shame there's so much sound pollution in the ocean now. Being able to communicate over thousands of miles must help make the emptiness less lonesome.
>>4846028The Deep Scattering Layer might as well be considered a landmark in the open ocean. For many creatures, that moving band is often dense enough it could seen as a floor or a celling.
>>4846036we're talking pelagic here nigger, not coastal.
