A big adult human reduced to the indignity of babbling childish praises while kneeling in front of the fox to pet it, while the much smaller animal looks through smug squinting eyes at the human, basking in all the attention. Who's really in charge here?

Bump.

Does anyone have thoughts on improvac for preventing boar taint in male pigs? It seems pretty okay and more humane than slicing their nutsack open and ripping their testicles out.

All my gilts have been really good first time mothers except one that needed an assisted birth. I just deliver them feed and water a couple times a day for like a week.
They build these nests to give birth in. She made the most impressive one I have seen so far and gave birth to 9 piglets that are all still alive and very healthy.

Winter is almost here.
If you have hedgehogs living near you, consider putting out some food at night to help the newborns who didn't manage to fatten up enough.
Even a cheap bag of peanuts can go a long way, they love it and it'll really help them gain weight.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5048770

Who 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, capybaras. 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.

He’s definitely got a special personality. He’s the only special “breed” I’ve ever had, so I wonder if it’s a fold trait. The positives are that he’s adventurous, loving, affectionate, playful, easygoing, and not finicky, but the negatives are that he’s jealous, dominating, stubborn, and has no respect for house rules (i.e he jumps up onto the table / counters and won’t listen to you telling him to get down unless he sees you coming to grab him).

Tamed him over the course of a little under a year and he's a sweet guy. Right before he got into a trap that was laid for a pregnant female he must have gotten FIV. Vet confirmed it and I couldn't just turn him loose again as I'd pretty much be giving him a very short, shitty life.

So now he stays with me, his name is Hank. The issue is his skin is itchy as hell and he grooms massive bald spots that leak into big scabs and I can't break the cycle. Some of them are pretty much just open wounds now.

He gets suspicious anytime I try to do anything for him, the little fucker knows when a trick is at hand. He knows when the Benadryl is in the squeezy treat, he knows when I have a clorhexidine wipe for his skin hidden in my hand. He seems happy, plays, gets excited for food, meows, comes to me for head touchies and does general silly shit, but he's looking physically rough and I thought it was getting better, but it got really bad again. Worse yet is giving him anything to help is nearly impossible, the more I try, the less he trusts me. I love this little retard way more than I should and it's tearing me up. I can't just keep giving the vet $700+ every 2 months, that's just not viable. Is there any hope for the guy? Is this just part of the whole AIDs baby shit? Anyone else dealt with something like this before?

>>5077019
I was pissed that they did it too, but the trap belonged to a county program and we were trying to get the young pregnant female so all her kittens wouldn't die. Instead this aids nigger walked into the trap. The county didn't run a FIV test or anything like that so I was waiting for him to get healthy after they snibbed him to let him back outdoors. It was a catch and release program.

My sister's cat has this same disease, which is incurable btw, you have to treat him with a specific drug and keep his kidney function monitored because it can get fucked up with the drug. He can live a happy life, probably not a long one though. You should keep him inside the house at least so he has less chances to get some other shit that kills him for good

Yeah, I would imagine that though they bounced back, the archosaurs ended up evolving and outcompeting them into extinction.
>>
>>5074607
Rhynchosaurs' radiation in the Ladinian was the nail on the coffin IMO. Kannemeyeriiformes managed to keep going by reaching pachyderm sizes to avoid direct competition with rhynchosaurs and predation by large suchians but such trophic level increase and overspecialisation made them vulnerable to the the T-J extinction (which ironically also killed off both rhynchosaurs and large suchians, lol)

It's not impossible, but they must be pretty rare.
Also I'd imagine you'd be able to smell those things well before you see them, so if you ever go to look for ground sloths in the Amazon, be on the look out for rotten smells first and foremost.

Double-Crested Cormorant

The signature double crest only appears in the breeding season. And the already vivid blues and greens intensify during that time.
