>>5130350cool fanfic, retard
>>5130474Which croc is the witch croc
>>5107789Just found out about all the cool gharial species that went extinct while humans were still around :(
>>5115163This account keeps popping up on my feed. The cute captions and happy music while she smiles for the camera is such a contrast to the depressing concrete pit the croc is stuck in

I just learned about the 'Beast of Gevudan" last night and I was wondering what /an/'s opinions are of what it could have been?Yes, it was real.>"Between 1764 and 1767, a mysterious creature known as the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized southern France, killing over 100 people and injuring many more, causing widespread panic and a royal hunt led by King Louis XV. Eyewitnesses described a massive, calf-sized wolf-like creature with red fur, dark stripes, and a long tail, often viewed as a werewolf or exotic animal."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_G%C3%A9vaudan
>>5117908>enlightmentThat was just proto-marxist fuckwittery and slander of tradition. Nothing enlightening about other than demonstrating how much degenerate pseuds like to sniff their own farts.
>>5116833>>5116836>>5117908Unexpectedly turned out it's the dire wolf's closest living relative. Food for thought.
>>5116754if its realy it was probably some kind of bear no single wolf kills 100 people
>>5132836It was most likely not a single wolf but a bunch of wolf kills people assigned to a single animal
>>5116754it was a cave hyena

>>5133452>>5133628yeah I've somehow never heard of this too, do you have more info?
>>5133628From what I can recall they are the last of their lineage Dermochelyidae and closely related to the cretaceous Protostegidae, another lineage of turtles with skin covered backs and unfused ribs. The earliest turtles we know of in the cryptodira sub-group (turtles that can retract their necks and the group leatherbacks descended from) had a fused ribcage so with that knowledge it does seem at some point in time they re-evolved a separate ribcage and got rid of a true shell in replacement for a new one. You can even see something similar in modern sea turtles species unrelated to leatherbacks were the ribs of their shell seems to be in a weird perpetual middle state of this transition. >>5133634Not much info than what I researched and realized. It seems to be a surprisingly obscure fact about these guys.Picrel has a green sea turtle skeleton and a leatherback without it's shell.
>>5133739God turtles did some disgusting things to their anatomy in order to have a shell
>>5133739Fascinating.
>>5133743they're still here 230 million years later so it seems it was worth it in the end.
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
This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.
>>5132529I can never seem to catch him when he's out on camera. Maybe I'm just unlucky.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.
This is your daily reminder to want a platypus
why is he so insufferable??
Thoughts on Extinct Zoo and Casual Geographic? Wanna know if they're decent animal channels because wherever you go you find reactions to their videos
>>5088111This but unironically Buy an ad so I can block it fag
>>5133393Yes anon TierZoo made this thread so people could call him a stupid faggot as a form of advertising
>>5133385ExtinctZoo is good but a little clickbaity as times. Casual Geographic is baby-tier.
>>5133385watched a bit of extinct zoo and his video about the aquatic animals of the western interior seaway, and his commentary pisses me off. just describes everything as super terrifying and hyper aggressive and voracious, barely scratching the surface of what could be told, and if something isn't scary enough he doesn't talk about it. no protostegid discussion at all, really? laaaame.
It's now spring, hungry hedgehogs are coming out of hibernation.
>>5133557Thanks for the help, anon.I've created a mail for this: you can write to me at tickorb@protonmail.com.To prevent abuse, I'll only accept mails from non-disposable mail. You just need to write down your town, zip code and country (+state if you live in a federal state I guess). I'll try to write back to acknowledge your entry in the draw so we can make sure you receive my mails since we'll need to exchange a couple of of mails with the winner for the exact address, etc.I think I'll use an internet roulette and record it to post the result, what do you think?>whatever method you choose, you need to post an orb pic with it to verify you're not a Korean impostorSadly, I'm out for a month and a half of vacations. Here's a picture of a pinball board I repaired, you can see it's the same big A2 cardboard calendar I'm using in all the workbench pics.The hedgies aren't left on their own. I made a 10 kg stockpile of peanuts and asked my ex to feed them every evening and put water in their drinking bowls.>>5133560Surprising, but nice.>>5133562Haha, thanks but I despise modern "art" too much to take the piss.>>5133567I've got a few cheeky ideas for the sender's name, too.>>5133572Comment too long.

>As of the present writing, it is known that the pheromone released in the vagina of an ovulating woman replicates the pheromone from the ovulating rhesus monkey’s vagina, so that the wipings from a human vagina smeared on a virgin female monkey are a “turn-on” for a male monkey, under laboratory conditions.
>>5130391I see why they were killed off...
>>5131010That's cool as hell and seeing this stuff makes me want this idea I've had for a while even more now.I've been thinking of a fantasy game that, instead of the typical fantasy races, is populated by human subspecies at technological levels they never reached. Tech levels around maybe early bronze age. These bipedal baboons(they're more closely related to baboons than macaques) would be an excellent wildman tribal danger in the wilderness for Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.
>>5130375Yeah there's nothing that gets me going like fishy vagina smell
It is this time of the year to ask once againWhy is it still the best dino documentary for the last 27 years? What causes it to be so unique?
>>5132431>Dinosaurs may have had penises that exended and wrapped around into their mouths so when they pissed the piss went into their mouths and they drank piss and they did it because dinosaurs loved drinking piss!!!Time to put speculatory pissing-drinking dinos into a documentary.
>>5128024>If you looked at frigate bird skeleton, would you have any idea it had a giant balloon on its chest?What the fuck kind of argument is this supposed to be? And if you did this with every other bird you would be reconstructing them incorrectly. Congratulations you just disproved your own stupid ass argument.
>>5126821Why do you closet homosex crave this shit? What is it doing for you exactly? You do realize this isn't normal behavior, right?
>>5132458Bullfrog Battle Royale is better
>>5128024Why not?
How does luck factor into evolution
>>5132299>abzu*apkallu
>>5131162Evolution and luck are basically the same thing. You're alive because of the genetic luck your ancestors had.If you're like me though, you won't even be lucky enough to pass on your genes.
>>5132821>>5131661>>5131681Yeah, but when I made this thread I was going more along the lines of these anons >>5131250 and >>5131215 where your genes have nothing to do with it, where you would have been successful except for literally one thingLike I was reading about an invasive lizard that showed up somewhere in a europe shopping market and they were doing fine until the landscapers removed some plants and stray cats got them, and then they went extinct. They would have been fine if that didn't happen, or if they showed up a couple years earlier to build up their population more.Or rafting across the continents like monkeys and reptiles did from africa to south america. so many stars had to align for that to happen i kinda dont even buy it
A few of the remarkable things about this frog:>When threatened, they were capable of gliding through the air by leaping from their perch and fully stretching their massive webbed hands and feet.>The tadpoles feed directly from the father – During the day, the males back into the tadpole-filled water of the tree holes and remain in that half-submerged state until night. During this time, the tadpoles swim around them, rasping small pieces of skin from their fathers’ backs and eating them.>The last known observation of the frog in the wild was that of a single male heard calling (but not seen) in 2007.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4eZIkBGMjM

>>5121367they couldve made a ps1 game with this guy as the main character and all the frogs would have been saved

I love my dog and kiss him a lot but why does he never kiss me?
>>5133499kek you're just his bitch
people with dog breath sometimes avoid kissing so considering your dog has dog breath by definition that's probably why I hope this helped let me know if you have any more questions bye
>>5133499When they lick you that's their way of kissing you
Because it doesn't have lips.
dogs are male and Cats are female. They represent the two energies of the world. Why does a dog's bark sound so powerful and masculine? Do you think a Cat's meows sounding feminine and seductive are just a coincidence? It's all makes cents to me now
>>5132581futa
>>5132518My dog’s barks are high-pitched and it sounds like she’s saying “Ugh!” It’s pretty funny.
>>5132518>Seductive
>>5132518No a cats meowing sounds like a baby, not something suductive>>5132572What about orange cats. They seem to behave differently, they seem less intelligent.
>>5132518Cats have more of a femboy vibe imo
Shoebill thread
>>5061747they don't look related at all, maybe the oversized beakdodos make more sense once you see baby pigeons
