one of my boys just turned 2 and last week he suddenly had a lump the size of my thumb on his left side. Picked him up today and found a second lump the size of a marble on his right side that wasn't there 2 days ago. Fucking sucks :(

>2 years like clock work
Get them to a vet, it might just be for palliative care but Burroughs in my OP was 1yr 10 months when he had 3 quick growing lumps out, they did come back but he lived about 8 more months. It sounds like they are growing quick so, act soon. Be prepared to get them some treats and you spend good quality time together

What do we think about the Great Shark Coverup theory?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9q6jVAY_EA

TL;DW shark fatalities per year are vastly underestimated and the total is closer to 100-400 deaths per year. A mix of tourism boards and shark apologists fudge the numbers for profit-seeking and misguided ideological reasons (Jaws guilt). Perhaps not a true conspiracy but a convenient convergence of interests. The ocean is a jungle infested with gigantic predators and the risks, while small, are still much larger than what people will tell you, especially the 'sea puppies" crowd that insists they are just misunderstood.

What is the verdict on this theory?

It's a retarded tranimeposter, why would I want to understand what they have to say?

Realistically speaking, if you are lost walking in the african savannah, what are your chances to be attacked by a Leopard or by a pack of Lions?

From what I understood, Leopard would less likely attack you but Lions are extremely dangerous if you encounter them. Also the most scary and dangerous moments happens during the night, so I guess it would be fine if you find or make a safe shelter. Being at night in the wild with predators like these would be horrific.

I also heard that apparently the most dangerous beasts are the big herbivorous animals like hippos and buffalos, and even elephants and rhinos, who will charge you.

>A 2019 genome study (cladogram below) finds that Giraffidae are a sister taxon to Antilocapridae, with an estimated split of over 20 million years ago.

I'm losing my fucking mind.
I'm tempted to believe Africa and North America must have been connected (relatively) more recently, if only briefly, but then it wouldn't explain the seeming arbitrary nature of the roster of animals exchanged. Elephants, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, lions, all made the exchange, but then only one group of monkeys made it over and our porcupines are convergent and not even related to one another.
>>
>>5072938

Both groups existed in Asia, which is connected to both Africa and North America. No need for an African/American connection

>Humans hunted Stellar's Sea Cow to extinction in less than three decades!
There were perhaps only 2,000 of them left on earth by the time humans encountered them, and they had likely been on the way out for centuries.
>Well, but humans hunting sea otters spoiled the kelp forests, which was their food source!
They couldn't eat anything but kelp, and because they couldn't dive, they could only eat it if it was within reach of their tiny heads. Kelp being more than a couple feet away would have starved them.
>They were gentle giants!
They were literally inbred retards. Their genetic diversity was painfully low.
These fat fucks would have gone extinct to a light breeze. I refuse to feel guilty when ecologists use them as an example of humanity harming nature.

Retard, plenty of animals can do just fine with low population numbers, such as the Channel Islands fox, which doesn't even suffer from inbreeding depression. There's even evidence that the vaquita can be saved despite its low population numbers, for similar reasons. They just identified a healthy vaquita calf born this year.
