i wanna do something with monitors. i drew a few with a dog-like upright leg posture but it just looks kinda boring... idk what direction to take these monitors in. aquatic monitors would just be mosasaurs.
>>5142845i mean we have mosasaurs in the water and megalania on landif your goal is just to make them top predators then you might want to do it in a way different way
What are some animals you would like to see as part of a spec-evo project, be it future prediction or flat out seedworld? For me at least it's skinks, particularly the Egernia genus that have a lot of potentialOmnivorous, flexible behavior, high intelligence (for a lizard), a body plan that is sufficiently generic it can easily be taken in a bunch of directions And of course skinks are fascinating from a reproductive perspective, ranging all the way from typical squamate style eggs all the way to true placental pregnancies (T. Ivensi)Egernia being viviparous but depending on the individual species the remaining role of the internally fertilized eggs can be still quite large so a regression to oviparity is still entirely possible
>>5142845I had an idea for a terrestrial cursorial monitor which converted the fifth toe of the hindleg into a biological "high heel" that would allow it to generate enough thrust to propel it at higher speeds

What makes lake Baikal so "alien"?Studying it, i get the feeling the place is a mix of an ocean and a lake, but also completely unique.The Baikal sponge, for example, biggest fresh water sponge, also bigger than most salt water one, grows like moss on stones, has a symbiotic relationship with algae and can survive being frozen for long periods of time.
>>5142449Lake Baikal is so alien seeming because it is 25-30 million years old. The native endemic species have had a lot of time to specialize and diversify. Most lakes are not nearly this old, and one of the next oldest, Lake Tanganyika, is still considered a hotbed of diversity despite being only half the age of Baikal.It would be interesting to see if the purportedly older lake Zaysan, in Kazakhstan is as special as Baikal, but the age of Zaysan is controversial and I don’t see any easily googleable surveys of its life, and its location on the river systems might make it more difficult for endemics to arise than Baikal, since it’s so much less “remote”.
It's alien because it is literally inhabited by aliens.
>>5142951Tell me about Baikal Seal.Why does he have the giant orbular pitch black eyes?
>>5142962>Why does he have the giant orbular pitch black eyes?For one they have the largest eyes in proportion to body size of any pinniped, so naturally they look very distinct, but it's also mostly down to them being already a pretty small seal species as they have adapted to the smaller range of habitat that an inland lake like the Baikal can provide. Some biologists even believe they didn't even arive at the inland lake naturally, but were instead introduced to it by human settlers around the region, making them almost like a psudo-domesticated species of seal (which with how well they take to training is not difficult to believe).The other reason is the lake itself as the baikal lake is the deepest lake in the entire world at 5,387 feet of depth. For context the lake superior is 2nd deepest lake in the world but only has 1300 feet of depth, but you could shove any military style submarine in the lake baikal and it will be crushed if it tried to reach the bottom of the baikal, it's that deep. How does this all relate to the baikal seal and its eyes? Well the baikal seal primarily fishes for food by diving deep into the lake where visibility is incredibly low, so their eyes are heavily adapted for it. Coincidentally a baikal seals maximum diving depth is also 1300 feet, meaning they could go to the bottom of lake superior and back.In effect the lake baikal is alien because it is deep enough to be practically alien, just like the ocean. Chuck some seals in there and you get alien seals.
Post about snails, slugs, leeches, worms, sea slugs, and other slimy invertebrates.
>found a snail in my garden>placed him in a terrarium >climbed to the top and hasn't moved all dayIs this normal?
>>5141844Yeah, that's normal! They are mostly nocturnal, and tend to stay still most of the time anyways. Make sure you give snailbro soil, a source of calcium, some vegetables, and spray with water twice a day.
>>5139308Are those little stalks around the mouth actually tentacles? I know that they are a sensory chemoreceptor organ
>>5142034Yep they have four tentacles, the top two help them see and the bottom two help them feel and taste. All four tentacles can smell as well.
Hello /an/,You are now reminded that Bumblebee season has officially begun in the northern hemisphere. Bumblebees and Solitary Bees are in massive crisis so this thread will be to discuss ways to help them, ask questions about how to plant for them, and general bombus chat.Note that Mellifera (‘honey bees’) are NOT in crisis, are actually a major culprit in the decline of Bumblebees and Solitary Bees, and aren’t even native to most of the northern hemisphere anyway - so they are banned from this thread. Wasps are fine (but still shit).Previous: >>5117649Related: Vipers Bugloss plugs being prepared by based Anonymous from the other thread.
>>5141272Yeah I had some trouble keeping them upright. They don't tolerate the gusts well, i staked them with bamboo in the end.Good luck with the new batch
bump
give me the redpill about why domestic bees are bad but bumblebees and native bees are based
>>5142789There are lots of flowers that honeybees essentially ignore because they have a swarming behavior. They also often favor various introduced species that already have a strong foothold in America.Native bees collectively will pollinate a far broader range flowers and they also have better fits with various native species by yielding higher rates of pollen transfer.
>>5142789Because I watched as honey bees completely ignored my peach tree while native greater carpenter bees fucked every blossom they could, repeatedly, over the course of about a week. I had so many peaches on a two year old tree I had to cull about half of them and I still ended up harvesting almost 30. Fuck honey bees, embrace chad native solitaries.

How long does your dog spend each day in "brain-off baby" mode?
>>5142864all day every day peanut brain baby
>>5142864nice tongue
>>5140671Lol he has no idea he's Hitler dog, cute
>>5142714If you live in Bamassippi a field bred spaniel has a very Southern gentlemanly vibe. I’d go with a Field Bred English Cocker. Boykins are great but have dysplasia issues and the males are total boneheads.
>>5141035>>5141416
>>5141414>>5141415>>5141416>>5141417That looks like an adorable retard. I wish to see more of him.
I'm often not exactly a fan of the russianinstagram thots those exotic pets are usually attached to
>>5141686agree but marsel is based. he's owned by an old couple who rescued him from an actual fur farm.

Hares > Bunnies
>>5142307>hares are just rabbits that have undergone twink death
>>5142328Cute
>>5142328This is the kind of quality content I come to 4chan to find
bnnuys are just larvae kangaroos. hares are mid state
>>5142385Not quite. Hares are born as just ottermode out of the gate. Rabbits are born twinky but age out into bears like pic rel. So hares are not rabbits in twinkdeath decline, hares are just born burly and insane while rabbits go from soft and squashy to large and cuddleble.
How come horses are girly animals meant just to be liked by girls?

I thought it was funny and likes seeing their organs.>Grow up>Feel overwhelming guilt for hurting so many snails >They did nothing wrong, they just wanted to have a good day>Try and be kinder to snails nowPlease try and teach your kids that snails are not bad creatures and just want to have a good day.It sounds dumb but I genuinely feel like such an asshole for how many snails I just let die in slow horrible ways for nothing but my twisted childhood entertainment, only to see them now as something totally wholesome and sweet
>>5142863>Nowadays I would help a snail get out of a street if I saw one, but I hardly see them these days.I don't see em anymore.I have no clue why they were in the desert, but they were. Closest I see now is slugs which are a pest.Snail deserved better
Kids do stupid and evil shitMy boomer parents told me kids used to do things like put firecrackers in the mouths of frogs and stuff, but they deeply regret it now
>>5142870Boomers at least had mass lead poisoning as a reason to behave that way. I guess all I can do is grow up an do better. For what ever it's worth I am very kind to animals now and try and care for them when I can with the exception of pests that break into my home. Snails deserve to have good days even if they are slow.
>>5142877she doesnt look like she's having a good day...
>>5142844But they are pests. They destroy gardens
Post some animal maps.If you want we can make it a guy to try to guess the animal?
>>5140492Homo Sapiens XD
>>5140573Close, it's Pinus sylvestris.Pinus nigra is more confined to the Mediterranean.
>>5140500Tapir
>>5140747there are no homo sapiens in china and russia. and especially in india.

Our Guy Timur has had some challenges recently. He likes red pandas and kitties. So I am posting these red panda webms I have been meaning to make in hopes he will see them if he stops through. He has been drifting away from our usual space, so before he is gone to greener pastures, I thought I would make these for him to let him know he is appreciated.Timur is a great person. He adopts and takes care of homeless, injured and aging kitties and spends time to make cat toys and treats and donates the funds to help a cat shelter, among his many other qualities like being infinitely kind, loving patient and smart. Be well, Timur.
>>5142783>>5142785>>5142808
Good luck today Timur. I've been in your situation today a few times. Today is the easy part. Its the recovery thats the bother. Rest, take your time, enjoy the break in routine. You will be fine, and you still have everything that matters. Thinking of you.

Why do they call them seagulls?>Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels
I love seagulls. They always seem to target the most neurotic and bully-able people. Hilarious birds.
