Does it deserve it's crown as the "Greatest Predator That Ever Lived"?
>>5116254Heh
>>5114611are you joking? a rock thrown accurately enough will kill almost anything. and humans are particularly accurate throwers
>>5120847it's not a pasta, he's right. i wouldn't personally want to be in a rock fight with a grizzly bear, but it is undeniably possible to kill a grizzly with a rock
>>5121879a rhino could fend off a t rex
>>5114140>>5114611>>5114920You guys know that if you are holding your ground against an animal, like a dog for example, and scoop your hand on the ground and mime the action of picking up a rock- the animal is conditioned to know to fear this motion alone and will recoil/back away instinctually. Rock throwing is not a meme, it's real
Picrel is a toad bug that convergently evolved into a similar body plan and hunting strategies as, well, toads. But how common is it for arthropods and chordates to converge on the same characteristics? The only other example I can think of off the bat is butterflies and hummingbirds evolving into similar niches and behaviours.

The mighty sperm whale starts its deep dive towards the abyssal dark to hunt the colossal squid
>>5130617chat, is this true?
>>5116167>sperm whales are carnivoresIt boggles my mind that a predator this fucking massive can exist. Its energetic requirements must be tremendous. And they supposedly subsist primarily on giant squid? Just how many squid are down there in the depths?
>>5117559Duke Nukem's spirit animal
>>5130798>And they supposedly subsist primarily on giant squid?maybe they don't?

>As of the present writing, it is known that the pheromone released in the vagina of an ovulating woman replicates the pheromone from the ovulating rhesus monkey’s vagina, so that the wipings from a human vagina smeared on a virgin female monkey are a “turn-on” for a male monkey, under laboratory conditions.
>>5130375this helps me refining my theory that humans were kept in cages and their genomes forcibly altered with monkey genes in pre-flood timeshttps://xenosarc.substack.com/p/conclusive-evidence-that-humans-were
>>5130375>>5130388this feels like a good example of convergent evolution. Macaques are kinda the hyenas to the dog evolution of humans
>>5130388>You know, I've been noticing more and more how much more macaque-like humans are than we are alike to any of the apes.Back in the pity thread days, there used to be a webm of a baby macaque that was so traumatised that it just rocked back and forth in the fetal position. Out of all the webms posted in those threads that was the one which I saw unnerve anons the most with how human and childlike it was, which only goes to show with that cottage video industry the appeal is largely driven by the fact that macaques are as close to being child-like as you can get that is readily available for physical/emotional torture, something that the locals of those regions are not too bothered about as they consider macaques as local pests.
>>5130391I see why they were killed off...
>>5131010That's cool as hell and seeing this stuff makes me want this idea I've had for a while even more now.I've been thinking of a fantasy game that, instead of the typical fantasy races, is populated by human subspecies at technological levels they never reached. Tech levels around maybe early bronze age. These bipedal baboons(they're more closely related to baboons than macaques) would be an excellent wildman tribal danger in the wilderness for Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.

>Buy half dead animal from haitian voodoo shaman for your animal rehab>think he's not going to go out and get another the next dayHe doesn't even have a retarded fantasy about launching a raid and stopping their operations. The genuine, unironic, real plan is to actively give them money for the animals they were already selling. Bro is gonna be "Rescuing" animals from the pet store, except they are all grabbed from the wild instead of mostly bred in mills.

We LIKE jews here, some brown people are okay, and big cats are cringe as fuck unless they’re THE LION OF JUDAH. If you don’t like it, get your ass back to twitter, herr sanjay.
>>5130800>edgy brownoidBig cat threads are started by browns, whether it's Indians who love their tigers or Mexicans who love their jaguars. Some of the uploaded files are even in Spanish indicating that the anon is most likely brown. Cats are very brown-coded animals, deal with it.
