Would you live with a wolf pack if given the chance? For how long? What would you bring? Assuming no indirect negative impacts on the lives of the wolves, such as getting used to humans.
Could Pale Foxes actually be aliens in disguise? Feel free to speculate in this thread about posting and posting about foxes.An example of a verified Earth fox can be found in >>5127939.

Why do people draw crows with yellow beaks when crows almost always have gray beaks except a few species. Lol.
>>5136798Same reason people draw corocdiles and alligators green
>>5136798I blame Disney.
My crow friend that stops by for snacks has a black beak.He lands on my truck mirror and taps on the window.He gets peanuts from me.
>>5136798>>5136919Contrast, and ease of animation. Same reason all the old characters wore gloves and had collars.
>>5136798The unrealistic orange beak and legs for clearer animation is forgivable but the usual lack of rictal bristles is extremely lazy. Adding the contour for the bristles would add almost nothing to the animation and colouring labour. Very irritating to see.
Why does it seem like everyone who dislikes cats have to constantly mention how much they hate them. Whenever friends of my family come to visit they have to make a show about how they absolutely hate our cats. Seems deranged to me. I'm not too into dogs but when I visit a house with dogs I dont scream to the heavens how much I dislike them

>>5137013Literally all objectively true, dogtards btfo
Once the samefag moves out of the ghetto(if they can) their opinion will change.

How can anyone claim to love animals, and then dedicate their life to "preserving" this screw tail, brachycephalic, barrel body, short limbed, squat, ambling, deformed vertebrae, hanging haw, skin fold dermatitis, mitty tier suffering abomination? Because some Victorian faggot wrote a breed standard? Oh, and they are "line bred" from their uncles to nieces or even siblings if a particular one has the "winning" look. You take one of the most aesthetic forms in all of mammalia (natural canids) and turn it into this farting snoring pugly freak? Is this about making them feel better about themselves? Bull baiting has been illegal for centuries.
>>5131531blame dog shows>kennel club defines breed as having certain features>shows judge entrants based on how prominently they exhibit these traits>breeders are therefore motivated to exaggerate these traits as much as possiblethey're not "preserving" anything so much as just turning the dog into a caricature of itself
>>5134961I "understand" why they do this even if it's retarded, look at Dogue DeBordeaux, Cane Corsos, Bullmastiffs,Presa Canarios, even Great Danes from even 90 years ago and they all look like the same dog, it is inevitable that a breed "enthusiast" tries to concentrate the small features that differentiate their chosen breed and it inevitably gets out of hand
>>5135509The funny thing is that the exageration pipeline is massive in the cat breeding/show scene too, but not as many people know or notice it. Modern Persians are a common example people parrot, but what people don't bring up is that the flat face is as new as the 1950s-1960s, with Himalayans and Exotic Shorthairs following suit after. Persians prior to then didn't even have the "Doll face", they were just very long/soft coated cats. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum with Oriental Shorthairs/Siamese with extremely long faces in the 1970s, again incredibly new. Sphynxs have existed throughout history spontaneously but were established as a mainline breed in the 1970s. Maine Coons, commonly declared by some as one of the oldest cat breeds in North America, went extinct by the 1950s. Cat "fanciers" then tried to reconstruct breed all the way up to the 1970s, but the new breed was made way bigger than the original stock which has only grown larger overtime.
>>5134961>rightHow does it see? How much does it drool?
>>5136988>How does it see?Ask an asianHow much does it drool?The default is that it constantly drools, you should be asking how much does it not drool
>Dog sitting for some friends>Ask if I can feed them raw chicken necks>They say no because they're worried about choking hazards*sigh*
>>5136672was it hanging from a pigeon wing?
>>5136672You sound like a terrible sitter. Do what is asked. They arent your pets.
>>5136672raw is only good by easing a pet into it, or raising and feeding the dog on raw from a young age. otherwise, you risk a dog choking to death from "inhaling" a turkey neck or large chunks. vets recommend against feeding turkey necks because it is a choking hazard
>>5137010Nah. You just need to make sure your dog isn't a retard.
>>5136672Not your dogs, homo
Pawpaw, or Asimina Triloba, is the largest tree-borne fruit native to the North American continent. Its oblong jade exterior conceals a soft creamy yellow flesh that can be described as an amalgam of flavors similar to mango, cantaloupe, pineapple, banana, and pear, depending on the cultivar. This medley of tastes may be due, in part, to its ancestry. Pawpaw is in the primitive-flowering Annonaceae family, whose members are typically found in tropical regions. Despite this, pawpaw can be found as far north as New York and as far west as Nebraska, thanks in part to its cold hardiness, as well as a natural insecticide in its bark and leaves.
>>5136828Great read anon. Thx. And I do relate.
>>5136890Thanks bro. I've been looking at different potential fruits that could eventually come into the market, in ways similar how the avocado did. I'm currently an biology undergrad, but hope to become a researcher that helps breed or genetically engineer new commercial crops. If you have any suggestions for any lesser known fruits or crops that I could look into, I'd greatly appreciate it.
these things are fuckin nasty tbqh.
>>5136986No they're not. They're actually quite good if you can catch them at the right time. They really do have kind of a banana, pineapple tropical flavor.
Planted few of them. Now to wait 5 years to find out if like em.
Would you kiss it?
>>5136775googling "hake fish" (as per file name in OP), gives that it is as good for food as codjust give it some time on the grill and all will be well
>>5136613At least take it out to dinner first
Not with my mouth ;)
>>5136808haunting
yes :)
Raising a few hundred thousand dollars in a about a week for a dog that was shot meanwhile billions of animals are trapped in factory farm hells Because most of the donors to this go fund me are not vegan so they are personally paying for extra animals to be executed and tortured An individual consumer choosing to purchase or boycott animal products is personally responsible for extra chicks being killed or spared. If you are not vegan you are personally causing this to happen to more animals here’s proofhttps://philarchive.org/rec/MCMAIOhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=brKhhZlUoOc (Only first few minutes of this video are relevant)https://benthams.substack.com/p/the-causal-inefficacy-objection-isAnd the comments and back and forth of this for any objections you may have to the efficacy of individual boycott of real meat which have already been debunked https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateAVegan/comments/1otuhqv/individual_boycott_of_meat_does_matter/

>>5136872>>>5136877Why are you spamming a logical fallacy (appeal to an authority that is also, widely recognized as not a meaningful authority, rather a group of useless eaters that agitated the downfall of our civilization)
>>5136893Evidence =/= proof
>>5136834>>5136669>>5136735If you’re concerned about malnutrition you should focus on helping more GMO crops to be more widely used like rice that contains vitamin A https://open.substack.com/pub/abio/p/a-blocked-gmo-rice-could-have-saved?
>>5136932Meat is the best vitamin A sourceReduce waste. Freeze dry unwanted meat and send it to thirdies.

There's a facility built to house a backup population that is really neat. If I were rich I would make something like that for goodeids.

the furtive pupfish, so easily forgotten...
What's their edge over other species in urban environments?
>>5136363That's not even true. Villages have plenty of pigeons too. They'll nest pretty much anywhere including in tree hollows if they can.
>>5135742PBS Nature has a fascinating pigeon episode. It's really worth watchinghttps://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/about-the-pigeon-hustle/33407/ It's on Amazon Prime but maybe you can pirate it from somewhere
>>5135799>mostly vegetarianTrue, I've heard their digestive system is especially adapted towards grains, making them a graminivore. It'd explain why they live near us who also eat a lot of grains.>>5136465Maybe they got on by just as well or better without building nests, and gradually lost the genes for it. I'd be interested in seeing whether brood parasites or other cliff-dwelling birds have also lost most of their ability to build nests.
>>5136412From the crippled birds with stub for legs ?
I think vultures are my favorite animal
I see vultures all the time in my area. Beautiful things
I wish I could call a hotline and have a team of vultures just scoop up dead animals on demand. Hurry up and eat the damn rattlesnake rotting away in my yard, already.

I attended a seagull and pelican party this morning. Please ignore the cormorant, he showed up without an invitation and refused to leave.
Their babies are extremely cute though
