What are some extinct biomes that don't exist anymore due to changing weather and atmosphere and plantlife and stuff? I know about Mammoth Steppes which turned into Borreal forests once the Mammoths and other megafauna died out, but what else?
>>5107252Uh, we don't get much of this anymore
>>5107252I think the carboniferous forests were pretty cool. Lots of weird treeferns and ferntrees, and big bugs to boot.
>>5107252I am so sick of this stupid fucking meme. Mammoth steppe still exists literally within walking distance of where mammoths used to live in northern North America and in Siberia. Not only that but Mammoths did not only live in mammoth steppe. They were also not the only species of mammoth or megafauna that got wiped out. This is a completely fake made up talking point to try to shift blame away from humans for wiping out these animals. I am so beyond fucking tired of the anti-scientific propaganda bullshit that has completely overflowed all fields of science in the modern day. Academia needs to be burned to the ground. We need to start over after killing all the communists and capitalists.
>>5107347>Mammoth steppe still exists literally within walking distance of where mammoths used to live in northern North America and in Siberia.Where in North America? I'm aware of the pockets in the Altai Mountains, but I've never heard of any relict mammoth steppe in North America.
>>5107483Northwestern North America: Yukon, Alaska. But you're focusing on the wrong thing. Remember woolly mammoths did not only live in mammoth steppe. They lived in basically any habitat that was cold enough and had enough food for them. They lived in taiga, tundra, and even cold temperate grasslands and savannahs. And again, they didn't die because of a lack of one habitat. It is a known fact that the last woolly mammoths were killed by humans on Wrangel Island. And most animals that died during the pleistocene extinctions were temperate, subtropical or tropical animals like the Columbian Mammoth which didn't live in the far north and certainly didn't rely on mammoth steppe. Climate change can't explain their disappearances at all.
What would happen if i were to release some Wels catfish in a local pond (southern US) for noodling? The pond isnt usually connected to a large river or something (though sometimes it floods)
>>5106479How do you noodle without FAFOing a snapping turtle
>>5106835You're right. We just need to spray glyphosate one more time and we'll finally eradicate all the honeysuckle and bittersweet and autumn olive across all the completely uninhabited wilderness where nobody has ever stepped foot.
>>5106800Invasive freshwater aquatic species are, in fact, the one category that's easy to prevent.
>>5106835evitable if you extinguish the species to invade, reversible if you extinguish everything in the ecosystem they invaded
>>5107317different waters, different burrows, its when you get to river banks it becomes a bit dicey, but you generally stick a stick in there to find out first, and not like catfish are safe either, they can take a finger

>>5098702>>5098704The problems with Cheetahs are 1) They're difficult to breed, and 2) There's not much genetic variability in the population, so even if you could breed them it'd be hard to select for 'domestic' traits.

have people stopped having their dogs living in doghouses?
>leave dog outside when I'm at work during the day because it feels nicer (can go tot he bathroom whenever, fresh air, sunshine, can do some laps around the yard if bored)>build her a dog house in case it rains or something>it rains >she just sits in the fucking rain waiting by the door when she knows I'm not home instead of sitting in the doghouse (also by the door) and staying dry

These guys were my favorite when I was 13. People usually say they look scary or angry but they don't come off as that way to me, they're just adorable oversized children in my eyes

I love the logic here. "These pokemon clearly based on modern animals are actually based on prehistoric ones because of my predisosed conclusion that every grass starter has to be one"
>>5104743>VenusaurBeelzebufo wasn't even described until over a decade after Gen 1. Bulbasaur also looks nothing like a Dicynodont or any other kind of stem-mammal people claim it is, and quite frankly it's hard to imagine they would've made a design based on these extremely obscure Permian animals back in gen 1. It's just a frog with cat ears.>SerperiorLooks nothing like Titanoboa, it isn't even as large as a modern anaconda.>DecidueyeIt is not a stilt owl, it's the Pueo Owl which is still alive today and is connected to ghosts/ancestor spirits in Hawaiian folklore. It also has a "hood" around its face just like Decidueye. Decidueye doesn't even have long legs by the way.>RillaboomIt's not even as big as a modern gorilla. Has nothing to do with Gigantopithecus at all.No one would think that Serprior, Decidueye, or Rillaboom were any kind of prehistoric animal in isolation, people only imagine them to be because they want to fit them into this supposed pattern. But if you look hard enough you could find literally any prehistoric animal to claim relation to, that's how evolution works after all. These 3 are very obviously just modern animals and don't look anything like their supposed extinct inspirations.>>5104997The patternfag is a retard but Torterra very obviously has ankylosaur features even if it's also based on world turtles. The head is obviously ankylosaurian.
It's not even the worst reference-bait scientific name, we live in a world where "Hotwheels sisyphus" is a valid taxon.
A literal dinosaur
>>5103927Fun fact: Pterosauria clade now extinction, crocodilian families are closet dinosaurs living relative.
>>5104649No Christians deny dinosaurs existing fedoranig, the worst example you could come up with are YECs thinking dinos and men coexisted pre-flood. If this was truly just bait then kudos, you got me.

>>5100371Would pandas actually die without us? Where'd that come from
>>5107260No they actually do well when their habitat isn't being cut down
>>5089252>>5089256>grievance politicsyawn
>>5107260>>5107427A thousand years ago they'd be fine, at this point though enough of their habitat has been so thoroughly fucked that they'd absolutely go extinct without human intervention, not to mention the growing impact of climate change.
>>5107436Yeah that's what i'm saying. Thet are endangered because of humans, they would do fine if we didn't exist. But people act like they are completely incapable of surviving because they are useless creatures. I guess that is a side effect of people lacking nuance.
>big (5 to 10 meters long)>fast as fuck, heavily pneumatized bones, legs build for running>bitchin claws on forelimbs, said forelimbs designed to fucking shit up>looking like a normal dinosaurs, not some retarded overgrown chicken with teethwhy aren't they more popular?
>>5107371Because T. rex is cooler
>>5107371They taste a bit like Pepsi but also a bit like Coke so neither side knows if it's for them or not
>>5107371> why aren't they more popular?Because they are still pretty obscure and no complete skeletons have been found yet. You need a reasonable complete specimen and to prominently display a good restoration somewhere to really capture the public, unless the known features of the dinosaur are fucking weird. Also Gondwanan shit is naturally disadvantaged for popularity.
>>5107371They will never be popular because the biggest one is named "Maip"
So i'm hosting 7 goats (three pregnant) on short notice inna barn inna woods of Maine, surprise they came with a three yo Maremmano sheep dog that was raised as a puppy with them. Apparently this thing is somewhat rare and doesn't act like other dogs. It is dead silent. It hasn't made a single sound, i just sat in the truck not moving the whole time for four hours on the way there. It is easy enough to handle on a leash once it is on but clearly doesn't like it and it is very difficult to get it on. We got it to the barn without trouble, let it go and it immediately leapt a 5 foot fence, circled the barn, quartered it then just sat on a elevation and didn't move besides an occasional circling of the barn. It isn't hostile but you can't really get within 4 feet of it, the only thing it does besides 'guard' is break up the goats when they go after each other. From what i was told:>Don't make friends with it, it will eventually get used to you>It will never follow orders and don't try>It is harmless to humans, keep it away from other canines>Don't try to confine it, let it patrol the yard>Don't worry if it wants to stay outside, apparently it will just sit there in a storm and doesn't give af if it is getting slowly covered in several inches of snowIt is a very good looking and well behaved dog, it just seems cautions and utterly focused on it's herd. Obviously a working dog.Anyone have experience with them? My understanding is i feed it, water it, keep other canines away and otherwise just let it do it's thing. Pic from wiki, will take one of mine tomorrow.
>>5107356>it's not a picky breedthis is a real dog, not a chihuahua or some other retarded little gremlin dog, they need to eat like a real dog
>>5107369i think nowadays even cheap kibbles are made with a decent ratio of meat\fish scraps, with some added vitamins and vegetables. i'm just saying it because these dogs are big and so eat quite a lot, but it's not really a problem if they dont eat premium stuff every day. they're hardy guys.>>5107370real dogs didnt eat premium cuts anyway, mostly offal, scraps and bones.
>>5107377Nigger the offal and bones are some of the most nutritious parts for the dog. You don't know what you're talking about and it's painfully obvious.
>>5107380yeah but they're also the cheapest one. op was talking about chicken breast and beef, if he can afford it, good for the dog, but it's not like they're a must. just saying in case someone else is interested in this specific breed.
>>5107381>>5107356>>5107380It eats mostly kibble and the cheap treats i have to use to get her to do anything, we throw scraps at her whenever available. We kill alot of livestock and her co owner raw feeds his dogs so she gets a decent mix. In a week we will probably cook a whole hog liver for her that for extra creepy factor was fed on coyote.
