RIP Venza (the dog)I read online that leopards in captivity can live up to 18–23 yearsLuna's around six years old, who will be friends with her now :(https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGuR2f7Cr-aHCjXiiW9_OccaQ0iVCXGVO
Bump
>>5172232That’s awful and gives me a particularly awful feel. My dog and cat love each other to a degree I’ve never seen before in real life between animals of different species. Almost to the point of codependence. They beg me for food together; cat always wants to go outside with dog. She sticks with him around the yard and it’s real cute because she has to do this bounding frolic thing to keep up if he starts trotting.Anyway my dog was 3 when I got this cat as a kitten. They’re so loving and happy together but cats can live 20 years sometimes…. :(>pic rel
>>5173529I won’t picture spam you guys but the best part of watching them is the play fights. She’s not much bigger than his head and certainly not even as heavy lol
>>5173529>>5173530That's really sweet anon, I love hearing about cat-dog friendships.
>>5172375i feel like a husky might be a good shot
Got a carrot for me?
>>5154192You can only tell it's an okapi from behind
>>5147187My cousin hates giraffes cuz one headbutted him when he was a toddler at Bush Gardens
Does /an/ like penguins?
>>5065141That's cute. I hope she doesn't end up leaving you for penguin like my last ex did
>>5096779>They are designed as our laughing stock.You laugh at them, never realizing that they and I are laughing at you.

>>5173619>>5173746>>5173801Finally, some culture
>>5172408jews don't survive well under water. their natural habitat is in the tunnels. occasionally you can see them emerging from the tunnels through the sewer grates attempting to dispose of suspiciously stained mattresses.
Seems like the tiny little boards were the only ones spared the madness and noiseposting that has infected the rest of the site. /an/ is still largely the same as it was 20 years ago. We can still talk about the animals we care about like we always did. Thanks for giving me a place like that. You don't know how much it means.Anyways. Sorry for the sappy post. I just realized today that this is one of the last places on the site where I can get a genuine human interaction instead of whatever nightmare social experiment the rest of the place has become and I wanted to let you know that I was grateful. Mods feel free to delete. Also here's my tortoise Scrubs. I got housing advice for him on here almost a decade ago now. Upgraded him from a fish tank with dirt to a little tortoise palace.
>>5173068That's a pretty epic tortoise
>>5173068Also i think you should feed it harder food. That beak is very long

>>5173068>/an/ is still largely the same as it was 20 years ago.either you're actually a newfag or you haven't been back here long enough. even from just 2 years ago this board has had a precipitous drop in quality (and in post count) and the jannies are 100% complicit in letting it all happen.

>Marine reptiles in the Mesozoic swam in a way not shared by any animal alive today.>Sabertooth predators existed all throughout prehistory and just happened to die out right as the modern age arrived.This shits so cool, normally when studying extinct animals you can look at living ones for reference, but that's not possible here. Paleontologists have to start from square one to figure out what the fuck these animals were doing. Any other examples of this?
>>5172414Quetzalcoatlus, my beloved...
>>5172435real dragon
>>5169907
>>5173968That's just a flap of skin that flares out on occasion, not a bony frill like ceratopsids had
>>5173978It has thin bones in it, it folds back for agility and then flares out when it needs to appear aggressive. It may not serve the same purpose as a ceratops but it is still a lizard with a frill nonetheless
/an/ book thread
>>5171486thanks anon
Obligatory
>>5169561Damn, I forgot about this book.
>>5169561didnt they make a movie about it too, i think theres a part where he tells the boy to not look at the water because the glare will make him blind
>>5169561which one is the gay?
Does /an/ like guard dogs?
>>5173929I think they're neat. But if they're not well trained then they tend to be too much for me and Anya. I also would never own one for a few reasons. I don't care for high drive dogs, they tend to fall apart after retirement age, and I don't care for their mindset of always pleasing their master. I prefer something like a Carolina dog.
>>5173929I like all dogs which weren't bred into retardedness like those George Floyd / I can't breathe breeds like bulldogs or pugs or those with a too small of a skull for their brain size like pomeranians. Idk it's irresponsible to support genetic dead ends which were bred to a state of constant suffering.
>>5173931Aren't you the guy who rapes his dog?
>>5173954Nope. Never raped a human much less a dog before.
>>5173954Just report and ignore, anon.
If there's something there, your dog will know it better than you.He is your only signal, just as your ancestors would go on alert when their animals sensed something they could not, his reaction is your only warning.
Boo!
>>5173366This is easily the most schizophrenic board i frequent
>>5173366
>>5173302Exceptionally based doggo. Please give her an extra pat for me
>>5173366Shut up
>scans you
>>5172615They are deeply ashamed of their bloodthirsty past and wish to transcend such needless violence.
People say 'oh just get a new one'. Fucking idiots they dont understand.
>>5171458>>5171529It's never a matter of replacement. A (lesser, admittedly) portion of the pain is finding emptiness where once you had a target for your constant flow of care and affection. Redirecting that flow to another animal that needs it and building that resonance once more helps you out greatly, and in no way diminishes the relationship you had. Even just having another little guy who relies on you, to give you a reason to get up in the morning or go outside for pet food, does wonders.
>>5170182>>5171354I'm sorry anons
>>5172044Thx anon
>>5170182I can tell just by looking at her that she was a great dog. I’m sorry that you lost her. I hope one day you get another dog. I think that would make her happy.
>>5170182Does your dog eat beef
What's being a veterinarian like? Is becoming one worth it?
>>5170443How about horse stylist?
>>5170192It's precisely like the other anons said: emotional torment.But the question is do you care more about your mental health, or do you want to do everything you can to help animals owned by dysgenic retards? Every now and then, you'll meet good people and you'll get to help their animals too.It'll be tribulation, but to me it's a higher calling. You'll see a lot of bleak shit, but you WILL be that light in the darkness as corny as it sounds.
>>5170192Idk I'm not a vet but I'm in a club for horse people and 90% are vets there and they all enjoy and like it. They just complain that work is regional and they'd rather work with large animals but in my town there's only pet vet work available. They say it can be stressful at times and work hours can suck but they all find it very meaningful.
>>5170192Becoming a vet is already very challenging and demanding, it's not something you do "just because", you have to be 200% certain you want to become a vetAfter that as others have said it can get quite depressing, you'll do simple check-ups sure but your next appointments will be putting down old animals, dealing with obviously neglected animals or waking up at 4am when you're the emergency contact because someone's animal is dyingIf you're not sure about becoming a vet, then you're not ready to be a vet
>>5173715>How about horse stylist?Then you'd be a horse stylist
