I'm going to post a platypus every day until all of /an/ wants to snuggle a pugglePrevious thread >>5065820 hit image limit and before anyone says it yes the males (and only the males) venomous (mostly seasonally). https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1puF5nSDV6Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6QHzIJO5a8https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AvIwt6lEQDk

So how endangered are they?Is there a possibility that they could disappear in my lifetime?
>>5159598They are not technically endangered, but they are almost universally threatened buy habitat encroachment and degradation. The huge forest fires also devastated populations in the effected areas. Most native animals in their territorial range ae suffering the same fate sadly. I really don't want to get all /pol/,but some of the things Australia has been doing lately that's driving land development isn't helping at all. It people were allowed to establish small sanctuary ponds and work with the conservation teams to help them maintain breeding populations kinda like how the kakapo is protected I don't know how well their long term future is going to turn out. It's pretty important more people get involved in stopping habitat loss.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.
>>5159876Sounds like we need to do what we did for the axolotl and keep them as household pets.Duck puppies for everyone.
>>5159881As long as it was done responsibly, that's the dream. And that's image cap. I'll have to start a new thread tomorrow.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.

They're getting fat because they're given apples which are too sugary due to selective breesing etc.
>>5159484Why are they never given meat? I've seen a video of a red panda that ate a bird it killed.
>>5158508>Do red pandas actually take any pleasure in physical affection from humans?I don't think so. They're solitary autists, just like giant pandas.
>>5158681raccoons or vultures/crows, scavengers just kind of mog that way, especially if they're socialso in a roundabout way, yes
Why did nature make these rabies-magnet pests so adorable?

Tell us, friends, what are your thoughts on the Orange People and their child rearing abilities?
>>5159756the zookeepers for not giving them enough things to climb
>>5159756How are these guys so gentle? He's clearly pissed off at the macaque and yet he only shoos it away instead of ripping it apart. I swear pongos are too good for this world
>>5159975if he wanted to eat it, there would be nothing to stop himpongos can be just as brutal as chimps if it means extra calories from a small mammalI like to think they hesitate with fellow primates since they 'see themselves' in them and by extension, will extend the same rules of combat they have amongst themselves to other primates- avoid conflict if possible- if conflict is unavoidable, make your opponent back down first- if they won't back down, hurt them until they leave- if they refuse to leave, go for the killbig man knew he didn't have to go whole hog to get monkey boy to back off
>>5159756I want pongos to snap the limbs of every trifling monkey fucking shit
I wish that all animals could live together in harmony. No more killing or hurting each other. Just dogs hanging out with cats, rats riding on top of cats, snakes slithering up to rabbits for warmth and cuddles, peace between everyone, no more eating each other like savages.I just love animals so much why can’t they just be happy and nice to each other?
>>5156421that's the good ending OP. I have faith we're gonna get there eventually, making the demiurge seethe.
What if insteard of endtropy there was livetropy.
Those who truly love and embrace Nature utterly detest gnostic bullshit
>>5156425Everything would evolve into complete R selection, as K selection would no longer confer any benefits. Over a long enough time, all animals would become near-brainless microscopic grazers with as slow of a metabolism as possible, as maximizing how many organisms are supported by a given amount of food becomes the only form of selection pressure.This is a lesson for OP. All of the things we like about animals can only exist because of violence. Without violence and competition, everything devolves into yeastlife.
He's still alive but I don't know if he's gonna make it. He was covered in dust and hair. I'm thinking he might have come through a drain or something. I want to save him and take care of him. I ran some tap water over him and got all the shit off of him. I have no idea what to do. He's responsive but he must be exhausted.

I can't, these things are WAY too fucking cute for their own good. I feel like if I stare at them for more than 5 seconds my heart is gonna expl
>>5152444when will coyote peterson take a sting from one of these?
>>5150673They're adorable little fellas and can be very affectionate to their owners that treat them kindly.They're also smarter than they look. They'll learn what noises mean food and soon they'll be running the show wheeking for food when they hear ya. Be careful anon!

Why did the honey colored oldschool Goldens get out of style so fucking badly? I rarely see them around anymore. Only the really yellow ones and just as yellow and bland Labradors.
>>5156756> General Order No. 11: In November 1862, Sherman blamed Jewish traders for illegal cotton smuggling in his military department. He issued the notorious General Order No. 11, which expelled all Jews from his military zone in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky
>>5156016A big difference between cats and dogs is that mutt dogs are oddly rare outside of pit mixes in the US today whereas the majority of cats are random mixes. It seems like everyone has a specific breed or hybrid. I remember seeing street dogs in Tbilisi and thinking how cool it was that they had these dogs that would clearly be good pets if you could get them as puppies.

>>5158136That makes sense.>Atlantogenata all evolved in tropical climates so having a scrotum wouldn't have made much difference in fertility due to the high external temperatures>Boroeutheria evolved in more temperate climates so having a scrotum would give them a substantial fertility advantage
