https://vimeo.com/154314167

>On Scotland's Isle of May, Durham University biologist Amy Bishop and her colleagues have been observing a rogue male grey seal with a knack for infanticide (video here, for those who can stomach it). The team suspects the bull has killed over 11 pups in the past two years – but just why is still up for debate.

>Interestingly, it's not just the males who are guilty of this gruesome practice. Just last year, our cameramen witnessed a female Cape fur seal snatching a newborn pup from its mother's clutches, just seconds after birth.

Wrangel Island is that last place where mammoths were alive, and they survived up until 4000 years ago. They were roaming around this island while the pyramids in Egypt were being built.

Aren't they like bonobos where they kinda self-domesticated to live around people without too much trouble? At least Asian heffalumps, anyway.

Not really for either, in India, elephants kill many more people than tigers do. In addition they commonly will tear up crops and eat them for food, biggest problem for elephants is habitat-conflicts like these, in addition to poaching. Working elephants are usually either broken into submission and/or just tamed animals, domestication means being bred over generations to the point of being modified by humans. Taming is just getting a wild animal to not freak out around you. Elephant domestication probably couldn’t even be done now.
>maturity takes decades for males and females
>gestation is very long
>rearing the elephant calf is even longer
>absurd space and food requirements
Whereas something like cattle can be reasonably kept track by one person.

African elephants are about the same and have even learned to be more fearful of men’s voices over women and children (since men are more likely to be poachers), and have even learned the dialects of the tribes who will hunt them and the tribes who don’t. Also when were bonobos ever domesticated by humans? They live in dense jungles very far from human habitation and all great apes are naturally secretive.

>>4930084
The ones who domesticated elephants were probably farmers. Mammoths were killed off by hunter gatherers who hadn't been pushed to adopting agriculture yet.

They are plate sized turtles who need adequate basking area with 2 kinds of light, a big swimming area with strong filtration. They can catch pneumonia if not properly kept. Aren't euro pond turtles endangered and illegal to keep?

Do you think pitbulls are generally more aggressive towards people than other breeds?
>>
>>4934539
No. Their prey drive is hopped up so far that they hunt and kill people for fun.

Pitbulls pass every test for being non-aggressive but whenever a kid runs screaming they go for the throat. That’s behavior expected of wolf mixes.
>>
>>4934540
Cool, I buy that; you're saying that pit bulls see it the same as any other prey animal. Personally, I just see that as a technicality though. If you're saying they're not aggressive towards humans, they're just playing while they disembowel children, I think most people would agree that it doesn't matter whether the dog is having fun or not.
>>
>>4934544
It does, actually. Because people honestly believe pitbulls that don’t show dominance or fear aggression are perfectly safe.

Even greyhounds are safer around children than pitbulls. It’s like owning a wolfdog. No amount of good manners can abate their base instincts.
