Does /an/ like penguins?
>>4974611Of course!
>>5099736They just didn't want to be bothered and instead wanted a cool place they could hang and eat fish
>>5100248>cool place they can hang and eat fishAn emperor penguin's life is pure hell. Once they reach maturity it is a literal nonstop cycle of either standing still trying to not freeze to death as you slowly starve, then going out and attempting to gorge yourself to bursting so you can survive the next bout of doing it again. If either mate messes up the timing, the baby starves and dies, and it's all for nothing. They're barely even social, you watch them huddled up and none of them are talking to each other, because that would take energy and make them starve to death faster. They are such slaves to this reproductive process that mothers that lose their chicks will go into a grief stricken panic, fighting other mothers to kidnap their chicks and raise it as their own, often killing the chick in their wild hysteric group fights over them.

Why do people keep fish as pets when they can't pet fish?
>>5101310Any species you recommend?
>>5101216I stick my finger in my fish tank and sometimes they nibble my finger or bump on it. I love petting them!
>>5101309Yeah I'm fucked
I stick my finger in my ass and sometimes the worms nibble my finger or bump on it. I love petting them!
Yep. This is Hell alright

>>5101419I actually replanted it in a more damp area of the yard, so hopefully it'll turn into something. I'll post an update in a year if it does. >>5101423I'm not actually that upset over it that was just a meme. I am disappointed since it sprouted randomly, thought it was garlic, and cared for it in hopes of producing something tangible and consumable as a sign of my care, which I could also replant. Was excited as a pale /g/ shut in who doesn't see the sun to have something appear to be thriving despite my thumb being gray instead of green. I did end up burying some large garlic cloves though, so I'm hopeful for round two with my now autistic knowledge of garlic.
Hey /plant/, I'm in a bit of a predicament here and I need some advice.About a year ago, I got this succulent(An Orbea?) from a nursery, the typical multiple props planted in one pot sort of thing that they sell. As they grew, they began to crawl out of the pot so I went to replant them into a wider one, and the arms all breaking apart was pretty much unavoidable due to how fragile they were. I figured no big deal, I'll just space them all out inside the wider pot and let them fill it out. That was months ago.Now about a week or two ago, I went to inspect it to see how it's doing since I figured they would surely need water with how long it's been, only to find that one of the plants in the pot had basically liquified(pic related).I'm puzzled about what could have happened here. It was a very long time since I had last watered and the soil is bone dry, has excellent drainage, clay pot, etc, and I don't water often either.All the other ones in the pot are completely fine, and I removed the bad one. Fast forward to today, all the plants in the pot are very thirsty and need to be watered, but despite how utterly dry the soil has been, I can still pick up that sour scent when I go near it. Is the soil more or less ruined and I have to throw *all* of it out and do a full re-pot, or can I just continue watering it like normal and everything will be fine?The damp looking bit of soil in the picture is from the plant melting.
>>5101468You generally want to get succulents out of their nursery pot ASAP as their usually a peat mix meant to keep them alive during transport. It looks like they're still in peat too. Rot can sit and spread pretty slowly through succs. I'd follow that piece on the right down until you find good healthy tissue and sever it
>>5101514The whole piece was destroyed, arm was a dark green and I severed it, haven't repotted it yet because I wanted to monitor it.It was removed from it's nursery pot as soon as I got it, and the pot in the picture is the second pot(of mine) it's been in.Potting mix is coco coir and pumice.Does rot compromise the soil? I don't know if I got every single root of the plant out of there because there are other plants still in there and I wouldn't know which root is which.I'm just wondering if I would be safe to water the plants now.
bromeliads. that's the post
what ecological niche would tardigrades fill if they were the size of cats?
>>5101181Being picked up and cuddled by humans and bred into ridiculous colors and patterns.
>>5101181kek what a micro bitch
Most are detritivores/opportunistic predators. So probably the same niche as opossums but more tolerant to lack of water and extreme cold.
>>5101181what would they feel like
Is there a scientific law for things that size looking so alien?If it evolved to the side of a cat it would have to undergo crazy change to survive
Leopard Seals are victims of propaganda made by spawns of the devil.
Previously on /jef/ >>5090210Who is Jefrey (with one F)?He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

Post underrated animals
Favorite cryptids? I'm pretty fond of this guy
>>5073784none of the skinwalker stuff is real. i walk alone in the forest all the time for days at a time and nothing happens. more people should, its good for the soul. become a part of nature, it is better than just being an observer from the hedonistic hellscapes that we normally toil
>>5076635Where do you think dogman is there? i'm leaning towards skinwalker tier because a bipedal dog is kind of retarded
>>5097936extremely so>>5097933this thing is just as real as Santa Claus

So he doesn't 'love' you, but does he 'like' you?
>>5101438Does that mean they dislike you?What I mean is, would they like you the same way you would like your butler?
It's comfortable in your presence.
>>5101425Even if they do, they probably doen't have a way to express so.
>>5101425there are plenty of reptiles that express explicit affection

>>5101102I don't get how one could hate reptiles.
>>5101225Just discovered today that Bearded Dragons "wave" at other animals/things
>>5101225well they are mostly soulless idiots and arguably it's immoral to even feed higher-brained beings like mammals to them since it's basically like throwing a puppy in a blender. i did not think i would like reptiles for this reason but ended up with a gecko because all the similar sized small mammal pets had issues i didn't care for (like being more social/perhaps less suited to captivity than people say) or were lame.

>>5101249It happened a third time with an Australian species of tortoise as well. Nature loves ankylosaurs for some reason.
