Look at my cute little baby. Isn't she adorable?
>>5066330>>5066623>>5066723>>5066754How are they different from shitbulls? Serious question. They both have the same brachycephalic aggressive skull.
>>5066836They're smart, look pretty, don't bite hard (despite being able to), and are very restrained in their reactivity. You never have to worry about a rottweiler going awol randomly, you can fully read their emotional state (as long as you don't dock them).
>>5066837Interesting, thanks.
>>5066838Oh, and what I said doesn't mean they can't be aggressive. But they give huge ample warning with steps up. If you respect all their warnings as a dog owner, they will use them extensively. Basically, you have to be asked to be attacked and bitten. And even then they nip, they never bite hard.
>>5066836Rottweilers can be dangerous in the hands of a bad owner who just gets DA KOOL GANGSTA DAWG and doesn't know how to actually handle it, but if you know what you're doing you can actually train them properly. Meanwhile a shitbull is always going to be a ticking timebomb, bred to kill and bite and not let go under any circumstances, no matter how well trained there's always the chance of something setting them off and they go absolutely mental for no reason.
Horse GeneralHow do you do? Edition>>5038346 - Thread that did not activate the stay apparatus
>>5065189Shame Old Billy never got to pass on his longevity genes to his species, since he was gelded at a young age. I am sure there are plenty of horse owners who wished their horses could live for more than 60 years, too.
>>5064301I believe Icelandic horses deserve to be called the ubermench of the equine world since they are still fertile at age 25 to 27 and one Icelandic mare even managed to live up to age 56.
>>5066653Plus they can speak when they want to
I tried to upload a spooky horse picture from three different computers but it didn't work. I think it might be a real horse ghost.

been breeding snails lately, sold like 30+ apple snails the past month :3and my ramshorns ate algea in spots at my dads aquarium which had had algea for a decade without cleaning, they eat algea so well
What is this? Local breeder says it's Malayan Shrimp, but I'm not sure if it's Caridina or Neocaridina.https://www.wirbellose.de/artendatenbank/caridina-cf-babaulti-green-gruene-zwerggarnele/https://www.garnelenhaus.de/wiki/neocaridina-palmata
>>5066660Pic related. Although I'd probably do a thicker substrate, as >>5066730 suggested. In addition to the microbiome part, it lets you see interesting behavior with certain fish/inverts that you couldn't see otherwise. Like pistol shrimp + watchmen goby, or certain wrasses that bury themselves.>>5066710>Gh was around 14-16 when I started.Damn dude you could fucking walk on your tap water.

I have an animal related story about surviving 3 pitbull attacks and a racoon attack unscathed, but it involves some /x/ shit too. A succubus who said she is a fallen arch angel of punishment that took a liking to me a long time ago. I was homeless and sleeping in a park (Only way to not get jailed and forced into a shelter or program) where i guess probably dog fighting happened at night.A long time ago, my succubus like fended off a pitbull attack by screaming through me at it saying she was an angel of death. As in I randomly started screaming like a possessed person (I am possessed) "IM AN ANGEL OF DEATH" in this inhuman level of loudness. I didn't intend to scream, my action was to grab my knife on my belt that was like 6 inches long to try to fight it incase I won, i thought i was going to die by being mauled.The pitbull was a large one like this and trying to genuinely kill/maul me at night. (was in a park illegally to camp because homeless)The pitbull charges and tried to bite as hard as it could over 10 times but....could not connnect it's bites to my leg or arm or waist? It snapped inches from me or an inch from me every time into it's own mouth hard enough to break it's teeth biting it's own mouth. It looked visibly terrified of my succubus when my succubus screamed at it and was quivering in fear as it ran around. Then it went back to its owner.The other time, one charged me when I was sleeping, and then ran away when my succubus did something once again. Then one other time, 3 of them circled me in a small pack (owner walking all 3 at midnight in a park where homeless slept, possibly to kill homeless) my succubus did something and they went away.I also had a racoon charge me like it was going to kill screaming the entire way, it ran through a stream to get me because I was on it's territory or something. It was like it was going to pounce on me but did a complete literal 180 and sprinted off after my succubus talked through me at it.

>>5065001Piss off dumbass.>>5064998>>5064945As for your question about animals, I don't think they can see true spiritual things.But I do think they have the same bodily sense of presences that humans feel. So no sight, just goose bumps and fight or flight.
>>5064897This but unironically
>>5064865>Animals Scared of SpiritsThey are indeed scared of me when I'm drunk on spirits.
>>5064865THE PITBULL IS IN YOUR WALLS RIGHT NOW

Albino (leucistic) Lynx spotted in Jaén, Spain.https://www.horajaen.com/2025/10/28/un-joven-fotografo-capta-el-primer-lince-iberico-leucistico-registrado-en-la-peninsula/
>>5065795Lot's of rw spanish xitter accounts are losing their minds over this. Saying it's an omen of change or smth.
>>5066341You pretty much get a longer prison sentence here from killing an Iberian lynx than killing a man. There were only 100 of them left in the 90s and now thanks to massive conservation efforts there are around 2000. These efforts will still continue in the foreseeable future fortunately.
>>5066341>lynxes are extremely protected in Spain and PortugalThey have more rights than native Spaniards.>>5066611>You pretty much get a longer prison sentence here from killing an Iberian lynx than killing a man.Yeah, exactly.>These efforts will still continue in the foreseeable future fortunately.It's going to completely backfire when Spain is nothing more than an African caliphate.>>5066607Yep, Spanish twitteroids that claim to be from Spain are mostly just Africans and South Americans.
>>5065795cute cat
>>5065906You are probably just thinking of Skyrim Khajits, wonder if ES6 will keep them as Lynxes
new 'mal is out
>>5066317>"That isn't real">"Never existed">He doesn't know
>>5066598>Ok, so you have no explanation as to how "ring species" and "evolutionary biology" magically invalidates the original meaning of speciesI don’t think you know what a ring species is so I’ll make it simple for you>population A can breed with population B, same species>population B can breed with population C, same species>population C can breed with population D, same species>population D cannot breed with population A, so how are they all the same species?The classic example of this is species surrounding a mountain range where each overlaps two species on either side of its distribution. They can each interbreed with the species before them so must be slightly different types of the same species in a continuous population, but by the time you circle around the mountain the differences have stacked up enough to prevent breeding between the first and last populations. Hope this helps
>>5066598you could’ve just read the wikipedia page on ring species btw. Pay more attention in biology class next time, you might actually learn something>Ring species also present an interesting case of the species problem for those seeking to divide the living world into discrete species. All that distinguishes a ring species from two separate species is the existence of the connecting populations; if enough of the connecting populations within the ring perish to sever the breeding connection then the ring species' distal populations will be recognized as two distinct species. The problem is whether to quantify the whole ring as a single species (despite the fact that not all individuals interbreed) or to classify each population as a distinct species (despite the fact that it interbreeds with its near neighbours). Ring species illustrate that species boundaries arise gradually and often exist on a continuum
