Tapirs have some of the largest cocks in the animal kingdom, and they are also prehensile and can ejaculate at will. A tapir can theoretically blind you with cum and chokeslam you with his dick, all while laughing at you nasally and calling you pathetic in a homosexual accent

The only impressive trait is their prehensility.

Just measure their body proportions and take into account body plan. They need to have genitalia this long or they wouldn't be able to fuck at all, same with horses. If they had body proportions like primates and bipedal anatomy, their cocks would be proportionally tiny.

Now, barnacles are actually hung, those degenerates are mostly penis.

Ive noticed that black and brown dogs are more likely to be ugly and lighter colored dogs are more likely to be cute. Anyone else?

Even with mixed color dogs like huskies and collies, more grey than black and more white than grey makes for a cuter dog.

Sounds like nonsense. I go by what is practical and in practical terms solid or brindle browns will always be superior because it's a neutral colour that stands out the least when shed. Same reason why short single coats are better as well.

Way underrated. Cattle as an insult is meant to cut deep. The aurochs were noble, intelligent and powerful animals with a strong will to live. They had to outwit and kill wolves, hyenas, and lions for years to survive long enough to have just one more kid all while existing in a complicated social hierarchy. Although cucked into appearing slow and dumb by their size and anatomy, they were likely as intelligent as the wolves and hyenas themselves.

Todays cattle stare at you as you kill all their friends and then them and willingly walk into slaughterhouses instead of just turning around.

Even single cell living beings think. I see it as the spirit of God or something like His uncreated energies that animates that intelligence, either way He's involved there personally. Perhaps He does give every single one of them a spiritual agency, a consciousness with intentionality, that’s simple and unified. Look into Barbara McClintock's experiments and what she wrote about it, she even won a Nobel prize for that.

Intelligence is a gift of God.
There was a young student with hydrocephaly, a condition in which the cerebral hemispheres are largely absent, and the space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Despite having "virtually no brain," the student had an IQ of 126, earned a first-class honors degree in mathematics, and was "socially completely normal." A brain scan revealed that instead of the normal 4.5-centimeter thickness of brain tissue, there was only a thin layer measuring about a millimeter. The student's cranium was filled mainly with cerebrospinal fluid, and it was unclear whether his brain weighed 50 grams or 150 grams, a far cry from the normal 1.5 kilograms. This case raises questions about whether neuronal complexity is necessary for awareness, as the remaining areas of the diencephalon and brainstem amounted to only 6–10% of the neuronal mass of a normal brain.

Elephants show lions who the real lords of Africa are.

Lions only go after baby/juvenile elephants because they're pussies. That's why I don't care when lion cubs get killed.

That second video is damming for Lions, proving them cowardly and how their social bonds are constructed for documentaries/popular culture. The entire Lion pride immediately abandoned all the cubs to fend for themselves when faced with larger threat for once. Not a single adult Lion tried to distract the Elephants or anything. Absolutely pathetic.

>>4935544
You are seeing things that are not there, the whole group running away is the only viable strategy, if they stop to face the lions the cubs and themselves get trampled.

For the alleged king of the jungle, lions sure seem to get owned a lot whenever they can't pick off a young or vulnerable individual.

No, no animal enjoys the feeling of being impregnated. Animals get pleasure from their penis/clitorises and similar nerve structures. Though not protruding like a penis or clitoris, cloacal tissue is similarly innervated

because they were huge rapists, until their dicks fell off.

They taped so much that it became a problem for the survival and propagation of the species.
The ones who couldn't rape because their dick was too small and had to settle with one female bird and help and protect her and the prole had a reproductive advantage over those who went around taping because they could.
Waterfowl went into another direction and females developed maze vaginas to avoid getting raped while the males developed corkscrew dicks to keep taping

I recently moved to an old house, which I will be significantly renovating, so it's currently totally cluttered with building materials and my stuff I brought. It's been completely overrun by mice.
It started weeks ago with just a few mice, I kept catching and throwing them out, but the were coming back, or new ones kept coming. I didn't want to use poison, because when one died it took me days to find while I couldn't stand the smell and I also watched a mouse who ate too little poison dying for hours. they unsurprisingly reproduced and now there's a shitload of small mice running around and droppings everywhere, I suspect that now there's probably almost 20 of mice total and I'm losing my mind. I now finally managed to find and close up the probable openings they used and I'm wondering what to do with them. I'd like to avoid killing them if possible, because the small ones are very trusting and even try to huddle up to me if I sit still (I know they're just vermin and I'm being retarded, but still), but throwing them out at this point is probably a bad death sentence anyway.
I wonder if it's feasible to keep them in a huge cage throughout the winter, but I suspect they'll suffer in captivity and it'd be more humane to kill them. if so, what's the best way to do it to ensure they won't decompose in various nooks?

not a chance, they don't give a fuck about smoking, lights, etc. and loud noises only cause them to hide for a bit. it's just more careful now. the mice I had running around were completely careless and impudent but I have one left that managed to get in during winter when I left the door open picking up a package and I wouldn't even know it's there if it weren't for some new droppings and disappearing food
