They usually don't like being touched while they're eating or shortly after

Wild and stray animals tend to resource guard. Usually when they’re bothered when they have food, its another animal trying to steal it, so of course they get defensive because they risk starvation. Leave stray animals alone when they have food.

to add on to what the others are saying about letting it eat, what i realize is that you have to let the cat come to you

Velociraptor was a complete unknown before Jurassic Park. NO ONE knew what it was. And now most people can at least name it.

enjoy no home owner's insurance, no personal liability insurance when it mauls something, not being able to bring anyone inside your house. dog fighting breeds look like ugly as fuck melted/block face mutants. the trend for years has been for more docile, more miniature, more sanitized dogs that are living plushies, the only people who buy these huge, aggressive, smelly, drooling creatures are micro-dicked boomers and pitmommies.

A few of the remarkable things about this frog:

>When threatened, they were capable of gliding through the air by leaping from their perch and fully stretching their massive webbed hands and feet.

>The tadpoles feed directly from the father – During the day, the males back into the tadpole-filled water of the tree holes and remain in that half-submerged state until night. During this time, the tadpoles swim around them, rasping small pieces of skin from their fathers’ backs and eating them.

>The last known observation of the frog in the wild was that of a single male heard calling (but not seen) in 2007.

They also have the almost-but-not-quite deer families like musk-deer and chevrotains/mouse-deer.

There are so many whales that it feels like never make it into nature docs.
every time it’s the same blue/gray/humpback on the baleen side and orca/sperm on the tooth side.
They never seem to talk about baird’s or bryde’s sei whales.
