Post animals that instill a fear of dread into you, animals that tell you there is no god or if there is he's a sick bastard for making it.For instance, Cymothoa exigua, the tongue eating louse. It severs the blood vessels in a host's tongue making it rot and fall off, then, taking its place, feeds on the host's blood, mucus, and bits of whatever the fish eats.
>>5154680Meant to say a feeling of dread, but whatever.Also, obligitory sacculina carcini, the barnacle that castrates crabs and femenizes them.
I'm supposed to believe nobody ever dug up a large dinosaur bone and displayed it? People thought giants existed forever, so finding a bone you assume to be from a giant would be an amazing discovery and holy artifact. None? Nobody ever found one until 1699?>check Wikipedia>pre scientific study>someone wrote about a big bone in China 1700 years ago, but it was not a dinosaur boneSomething people would be looking for forever and would be seen as a religious artifact was never ever mentioned by anyone, except a chinaman 1700 years ago and a guy in 1699? Seems like a giant scam to me. Plus the vast majority of display pieces are fake. The actual fossils look like worn rocks, and the rest is extrapolated by "scientists." They even make reproductions where the bones are half cast in plaster, so it looks like real bones they found in a rock. What an insane way to mislead audiences. Making shit up and lying to the public is not science.
This guy is becoming so schizo he's making several posts in a row and is arguing with himself.
>>5154573Already said it above, and I know no one probably gives a shit, but I genuinely think he's just been baiting the whole time and believes little if any of his own bullshit.Like, this >>5154444 >>5154445 is basically the paleo-flame war version of when someone calls anon a samefag just to derail a thread and farm some trolling lulz, anon posts a screencap showing his (You)s, and troll responds with, "Wow, you proved you can edit a screencap in MS Paint, everyone believes you samefag." There's just no way it's real at this point.
Good thread. Science has always been a scam until proven otherwise. Keep fighting the good fight, OP.
>>5154576I noticed that he never responded to >>5154304, so he doesn't have any problem with these extinct animals being real, only dinosaurs specifically.
>>5154608I guess there just must have been some wide open terrestrial niches back in the Mesozoic for a few hundred million years. It would the same logic of people who think the Giza monuments were built in 12,000 BC or whatever, and don't seem to realize that among other things, that demands an answer to the question, "Okay, so what exactly was this prosperous and stable civilization that was building pyramids in the 3rd and 5th dynasties doing in the 4th dynasty exactly? They just lost interest in monumental architecture for 115 years or so during the exact period when all non-retards are insisting they were building these things?"Again, not that I think much of it's been sincere on his part in the first place at this point.
The Unspeakable Horrors Beyond Comprehension That We Inflict On Thanksgiving TurkeysHowever bad you think the treatment of turkeys is, it's worseIn this thread I’ll include details of the systematic torment of the tens of millions of Thanksgiving turkeys killed every year, the overwhelming majority of whom are factory farmed. I’ve spent years reading about factory farming, it was worse even than I expected. Reading about the grotesque horrors is enough to make one want to vomit, and certainly never eat turkey again. For example>Now that you know how most US turkeys are conceived, you also have a way to fill those awkward silences that can occur around the Thanksgiving table. Just ask the family and friends gathered together if they know how the bird they are eating was conceived. If they don’t, enlighten them. Then ask them whether ensuring that everyone can get a generous slice of turkey breast is worth breeding a misshapen bird who cannot mate, requiring poorly paid workers to spend all day masturbating male turkeys and pushing open the vaginas of female turkeys, who hate the procedure, but have no escape from it until they are sent off to be killed.
>>5154034agreed. turkey tastes like dirty water, it's a good food for fat asses trying to lose weight that's it's only benefit
>>5154023>5154023We really will, I honestly stay up at night thinking about it and how evil the world is. Everything and everyone suffers constantly and it makes me sick to my stomach. It's hard to change to because "organic" is often overpriced and just a label. To breed your own cows or pigs or chickens, you need to have a fuck ton of space and money to start everything up, which is hard to do for the average American. Also, buying from butcher shops tends to be expensive and in bulk as well. It's basically set up by the government and corporations to force suffering. You almost think something or someone if feeding off of it all.
>>5154020lol
What an actual truckload of tl,dr schizophrenic ramblings. OP I hope you choke on the cum/soi mixture you drink and it comes out your nose.

I was considering getting a hamster but I have to leave my house for 6 days each month and won't be able to bring it with me during those days.The plan was to clean the cage just before leaving and just after arriving and ask a a neighbour to change the water and food daily.What worries me and is making me consider not to get the hamster is that it won't leave the cage even for a walk inside a ball since the neighbour hasn't time enough for that.Are 6 days without leaving the cage cruel for a hamster?
If you get a proper enclosure for the hamster it won't need to leave it at all except for cleaning. The bastards get stressed from being touched or moved since they're solitary in the wildJust get it a big ass enclosure and a feeder with a timer and it will be alright
>>5146017Tard proof the cage and fill with enough food and it will be fine.
>>5146017What do you do that means you need to leave your house for 6 days each month? And are these days away all concurrent, or are they at intervals?
gf's hamster died of cold in the night, be sure to mind that they're pretty sensible to temp, we didn't know that it also can hibernate, look into it
Out it this way, who ever acquires the Hamster you would have gotten will with the law off odds nearly definitely leave it in a cage 24/7. If you don't have it they will. Think about that before you anything
Shrimp.
>>5154546I fucking knew it.
>>5154505Love them
>>5153449Why don’t they have tools?
people when they talk about ANY wild animal:>don't go near them, don't touch them, give them space and don't give them food, this is for their and your own safety.people when they talk about sharks>go on sweetie, give the shark this steak while wearing this seal costume, remember, they don't attack humans, they are just like little puppies who won't hurt a fly, you shouldn't be afraid of them.why are humans like this? also shark thread.
>>5154540>Don't forget they are also the garbage disposals of the sea. "We don't have blubber" is cope. If its meat they will eat it.Sweetheart, those are the smaller sharks. They will absolutely bite people and try to eat them but they can't cuz they're small. Whites, tigers and bulls are surprisingly picky about what they eat and they do not scavenge. They eat blubbery mammals almost exclusively. >>5154477You're fat.
>Sweetheart
>>5154558Oh, bless your heart.
>>5154551Tiger sharks will eat anything and everything they find. Whites and bulls eat far more than just mammals, such as fish, other sharks, rays, and seabirds.
>>5154466>They don't hunt or even eat people, though. They "explore" once, realise you're not a seal and fuck off to find a seal to eat>not because a shark ate a mofoThere are many cases where the shark consumes the victim. In 2023 a guy in Egypt was fully consumed by a tiger shark. You’re overcorrecting. Just because they don’t usually eat people doesn’t mean they won’t or never do, just like how grizzly bear attacks aren’t usually predatory but plenty of people have been eaten by grizzlies>>5154551>Whites, tigers and bulls are surprisingly picky about what they eat and they do not scavenge. They eat blubbery mammals almost exclusively.This is completely fucking wrong. All of them will scavenge and it is a huge part of the diet of white and tiger sharks in particular. Also only white sharks specialise in blubbery prey. Tiger sharks are anything but picky and bull sharks hardly ever eat anything blubbery
Post crocs
>>5154434>nile crocs are Lion food in africaLions also get eaten by crocodiles>saltwater crocs get their asses handed to them by Great White Sharks in the oceanThere aren’t any recorded interactions between them. They barely overlap with great whites and they don’t share the same habitat>and by Tigers in IndiaThey eat tigers. Picrel>>5154465Tiger sharks are extremely shy and cautious. They are opportunistic but their reputation for being aggressive is not true. There aren’t any violent interactions recorded between them either. Only bull sharks and crocodiles interact on any frequent basis
>>5154465>Kill large saltwater crocodiles>gets rekt by sea turtle (one of it's prey animals)doubt
>>5154599>their reputation for being aggressive is not trueagreed, I should have worded it better, what I meant is more like, when they're hungry they're down to attacking a wider variety of prey than great whites Even if theres no recorded interaction between saltwater crocs and great white sharks or tiger sharks, no doubt because its very hard to capture such interactions in the first place, due to the nature of their habitat, it doesn't mean it never happens, it must happen because they overlap and both sharks are large enough that they wouldn't be scared of a fully grown saltwater croc and even tho saltwater crocs are ocean goers, sharks are much more at home in the ocean than crocs are so there's no doubt the sharks end up the winners in such interactions
>>5154622I mean... fair enough, but sea turtles are some of the main preys of tiger sharks, they kinda had to learn how to deal with them by pressure of necessity, they learned to attack the gils in specific for example, saltwater crocodiles on the other hand don't know how to deal with a tiger shark, it's basically swimming there in the ocean to do its usual island hopping and then it gets bitten by the tiger shark from below and by this point its too late to do anything as a tiger shark's bite is devastating, they can fuck up turtle shells, a crocs hide is nothing to them
>>5154628>it's basically swimming there in the ocean to do its usual island hopping and then it gets bitten by the tiger shark from below and by this point its too late to do anything as a tiger shark's bite is devastating, they can fuck up turtle shells, a crocs hide is nothing to themThat’s not really how it works though. A quick bite isn’t going to do anything to either a turtle or a croc. When a tiger shark grabs a turtle it shakes its head back and forth to saw through the shell. It’s not going to do that with prey as big as itself that is trying to bite back. Tiger sharks are not confrontational animals
Found a female European Mantis on my windowIt looked slim and dehydrated so I picked it upPut her in a shoe box sized transparent boxGonna go shopping tomorrow and work on a terrarium with enough space for herAny tips?
>>5154406Found another one tonight.It was on the side of my shop next to the spigot. Relocated to a bush that grasshoppers hang out on.
>>5154566And this one was a couple days ago.DO NOT leave them on hummingbird feeders. They can kill and eat hummingbirds.Relocated this one to the sunflower field.
>>5154247>how many eggs does she lay?Hundreds. Generally a bunch get cannibalized after hatching though so you won't have THAT many (still a few dozen to a hundred). It's not a terrible thing. It ensures that you get the strongest bunch.
>>5154247This is a typical mantis egg sacEach chamber is a "nymph"Yes, as other anon pointed out they will eat eachother. In the wild they typically dont unless food is scarce.>must studies are in captivity where they hatch in a 10 gallon aquarium.
OP here with the final updateI wanted to keep the mantis, but you informed me it would be cruelso I gave the mantis to a friend with a house and gardenhe also said he has a terrarium and his son is getting interested in insectshere is the last pic from an hour ago... so is she pregnant or not? it does not look like there are 100+ eggs inside
