>>5092197It's only early Feb, and already, in northern Illinois, I've heard and seen a few flocks of Canada geese going north. In my experience such indicators are solidly dependable, nothing like the silliness of groundhog myths and such. .
Welcome to /frog/, the happy green place on this green board, where frog lovers, frog connoiseurs and frogologists share their love for things are frogs.Discuss anything frog related here, including frogs, frogs, frogs, tadpoles, frogs, frogs, toads, and frogs.

What do you guys feed your tree frogs?

What's the best way to discipline a dog? I've tried choking him out and that worked great for a while, but recently he seems to have decided he doesn't care. If I escalate he's probably going to die so I think I should probably pick a different method.
>>5101359Biting it, it's close enough to their natural behaviour and instills your superiority in an unmistakable way.
>>5101362i read this in his voice
anya abuser thread
>>5101364True, this sounds reasonable.
>>5101362Nah, you just need to mix heavy doses of love and pain, similar to what human abusers do. That way the dog feels like he deserves his punishment and doesn't try to fight it.
What are some of the most alien looking animals out there? I'd say giraffes are pretty weird compared to other mammals. If you showed a picture of a giraffe to someone who's never heard of them before, they'd probably think that they're a fictional alien species from Star Trek or something.
>>5100802Fun fact, this causes so much strength loss that if you take those rings out she can't hold her head up.
>>5100637Interesting
>>5100961Worth it for the deep throats tho
>>5100411>Every other cool Pleistocene megafauna goes extinct aside from this retarded looking flappy nosed jew deerFuck this gay timeline
>>5100411Doesn't kirin literally translate to giraffe in Japanese
i love how silly it looks and want to grow my collection. any animal goes, as long as the angle is more than 90 degrees rotated from the profile view
>>5098241Niga he be PEERING!
Why are two-legs always the most overpowered animals?
>>5100580Square root law allows for a weapon that’s an order of magnitude stronger and deadlier (mouth) than if it had useless front legs
>>5100891but do they look cool?
the unstoppable power of the... jerboa
>>5101404What the fuck is this real?
Is it normal that I like looking at dog paws so much and wish I had paws too?
>>5101163OP didn't say that.
>>5101206>You're so right, anon!Yuh.
>>5101289Yuh
>>5101163who are you quoting? take your meds
>>5101291Brooooo, I'm likee, fiiiiine. I don't neeeeed my medds..ha haha. Haaa... You're suuuuch a dummy lollll
Are snakes or cats better at hunting mice? Should we be releasing snakes to resolve mice problems in farms?
>>5101058Neither is very good at it and neither has actually eradicated a mouse infestation without becoming an infestation themselves so its like asking “cyanide or ricin - which is healthier?”Cats are living proof that domestication is not some ultra high IQ utility play and ranges from random chance, to opportunity, to weird pagan religion bullshit (likely true origin of dogs = animist wolf cults… and actual reason for cats continued presence = magical thinking and superstition) to just thinking a vermin animal like a raccoon, fox, or cat is cute. Like do you think the original domestic dogs were super useful working slaves? They were basically large huskies. I doubt they helped early humans at all.
>>5101175
>>510117610,000 years to domesticate something10,000 years to make it useful, if ever>the state of humans
>>5101176>to weird pagan religion bullshit (likely true origin of dogs = animist wolf cultsWhat an odd thing to say, given that we recently determined that you can genetically trace all domestic cats to African wildcats raised by the cult of Bastet for sacrifice.
>>5101058Snakes are probably better in terms of succesful hunt ratios. Neither will solve your home infestation. For that you need nature's perfect predator, a bucket of water.
Is it considered convergent evolution how carnivorous plants like the venus flytrap evolved to have fang-like spikes for trapping their prey which look a lot like the fangs of carnivorous animals, or how their insect-trapping mechanism looks very similar to an animal biting something?
>>5098065Such mechanisms evolved a billion years ago in microorganisms. desu I think there's some else influencing evolution we haven't scratched at. God gene theory really doesn't make sense the deeper you dive into mimicry. At what point does it no longer differ from convergent evolution
I'll go with no, just because the features look similar, doesn't mean they do the same thing. In the case of the flytrap the "teeth" for a cage so the prey can't escape until the trap closes completely, meanwhile animals use teeth to chew, crush and shred .
>>5099864So it's converging with baleen whales then.
>>5100816I guess so
Nah, insects just love ruining your day by flying in your eyes, so plants were like hah I'm gonna take advantage of that asshole behavior
Sorry I've been MIA it's been kind of a rough patch for me, but I'm going to try and get back at it and post a platypus every day until all of an wants a puggle to snuggle
This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.

Not my pic but I just saw a possum outside my house, it was really cute :)
>>5101071The last time I saw one my cats bought it in and were torturing it. I thought it was a mouse before I threw it outside like I do with all prey animals. It wasn't a mouse. Not with a face like that. I couldn't tell whether it was dead or playing dead but it might be dead for real now since it was a little baby. That ruined my day.
>>5101083Based cat.
post ducks please
Ive had cats all my life because i knew that I'd be a bad dog owner. Im extremely antisocial and dont interact with people at all outside of my family. My cat is 19 now and approaching the end and i think i want a dog. Any breeds that can tolerate an owner that hates people and doesnt mind being solo?
the meme yet true answer is a shiba. but any dog is a handful until they hit ~3 years old and chill out
>>5101259This is mostly alleviated by having a large and/or intimidating dog.My dog gets a lot of 'mires but people keep their distance. Sometimes their cowardice irritates me lol.
>>5101274Act like prey get treated like it.
>>5101274I don't think OP could handle a husky.
>>5101259
Why are cats like this
>>5096688What have you done to personally remedy that anon?How many pajeets have you stuffed and mounted on the walls of your parlor?
>>5099559>>Gives off "don't touch me" signalsThat's your issue, they aren't. The back leg came to secure itself, it wasn't fully pushing yet, just a gentle check. That cat wasn't really signaling for a belly rub, however, they really curl in when they do so, its unmistakable if you aren't a moron. >They're all tsundere and autisticIt make sense if you remember they are about as much a prey specie as a predator one. Everything that matches the size of a cat will potentially fuck it up. A dog can seriously injure one by playing with it. Also, you have to be a bit slower because they see events passing a bit quicker than us, things move faster in their perception.
>>5099931Lol
>>5099931kek
FUCK YOUUUU
I'm putting together a team...
