Post animals that make interesting sounds. Bonus points for surprises: if you'd never expect that animal to make that particular sound, all the better.To begin: Goldie's Bird-of-paradise:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_yr2eB7_Vk

>>5118034It tweets and screams. Its a bird.>>5118036Lots of mammals scream.>>5118044So far the only surprising one
About a year ago I saw two skunks having a territory dispute, crazy screaming.
>>5118044sounds like an air raid

What time is it?
Soon I can watch ducklings from under water again hehehe

Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.Proposed changes:Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given timeIt is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstancesDogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow itSpay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive developmentDogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three monthsCats must be kept indoorsCats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulationWhen roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits

Catch myself scream at street cats to stop meowing in the middle of the night using the name of my cat that died from unknown causes 2 weeks ago. I had him for 3 years and he was so small and perfect. Left home for a while so I gave him to my mom and he died in her arms. He was so small that the vets couldn't find where to draw blood from. My mom and little brother buried him in the front yard with a tombstone and planted a mint sapling above him.I miss him so much and wasn't even there on his last moments. I will return home soon and can't imagine not petting him like I used to. ;_;Picrel is him at 3 months old in the shelter we took him from. He had a bad eye infection and I treated him everyday with human eye infection paste until it was all gone. He was so handsome and grew up cute.I'm thinking about getting a new cat, but don't know if I can handle it. I educated him so well. He looked for me in his cage at the shelter and would scratch at the bars at me like he was choosing me and not the other way around. Called him Chou (for "Choose" I know it's stupid), or Couchou as a nickname most of the time. Next cat I want a female and I'll call her Luna. It'll take a while, though. Sure going to be lonely.R.I.P. Chou, the tiniest, most lovable cat I've ever met.
I'm sorry OP. He sounded like an awesome little guy. My condolences :(
RIPThere are other cats like Chou that are waiting for you!

>>5117591>The third metatarsal of tyrannosaurids, including in the very largest forms, was pinched at the top between the second and fourth, forming a structure known as the arctometatarsus that aided in energy conservation and, in smaller forms, increased speed.[1] The arctometatarsus was also present in Appalachiosaurus[8] but it is unclear whether it was found in Eotyrannus[5] or Dryptosaurus.[16] This structure was shared by derived ornithomimids, troodontids and caenagnathids,[17] but was not present in basal tyrannosauroids like Dilong paradoxus, indicating convergent evolution.[2]Can somebody explain to me like I'm brain dead why "tyrannosauroidea" is a valid clade and why we know all of its members were even coelurosaurs?
>>5117609When did leopard seals and equines ever interact?
>>5118154Apparently they found a leopard seal tooth from a Pleistocene age site alongside the normal African wildlife and I don't think you could mistake these for anything else
Post and discuss livestock.
>>5116990I want one of YOUR piglets though.
Man I bought half a pig from a small farm in Virginia some years ago. I really should do it again. These pigs picture really tempt me. I bought a small townhouse last year but still no room for a chest freezer. If only my neighbor would be will to split.How do you guys market your business? I found that small farm because they have a very simple website but the website is kinda shit. I bet there are many other small farms without a website.
>>5117575Do it. Support local small farmers! Ask if you can visit their farm to see how they raise their animals. As a somewhat new farmer we get most of our exposure through the farmers markets we sell at. We are also starting to host farmstand/farm tours on sunday once a month or so. We have a sign on the side of the road, advertise it at the farmers market, and send out an email to our mail list.>>5117178To keep as a pet or to raise for meat? I don't really know how much I'd sell a live weaned pig for. Maybe like 120-150 bucks + S&H or something like that.
why are chickens so dirty
>>5118143They aren't necessarily more dirty than other animals it's just that they're usually kept in environments that get dirty quickly and need cleaning often.

I brought that bitch a stick, bitches love sticks!
Ooh! I recently learned a cool fact about beavers I can share here. Their teeth are orange because they have iron in them. Specifically, the outer front facing layer of enamel. (Komodo dragons have this too, but on the inside serrated part)
>near 100% hunting success rate>Survived multiple mass extinctions, including the Great Dying; predated and outlived the dinosaurs>is still one of the most majestic animals, a perfect marriage of form and function>is one of the only insects that is not only not hated, but widely liked by humanityThis is the ultimate lifeform, perfection as an organism. A masterpiece of evolution.
>>5115572In their larval stage the opposite is true
>>5115595creepy<
>>5113342revived griffin flies when?
>>5115770very curious how the evolution of their larval stage came to be
>>5113342OP, ever since I learned more about them, and dug deeper into the mechanics of their flight, they became my favorite. I am an aircraft mechanic and have a history with fighter jets. These are incredible creatures. The individual control over their wings combined with their flight intelligence gives them the ability to fly in literally any direction and high speed, stop on a dime, and go the opposite way. Helicopters are a coughing baby in a mud pit comparatively. Their wings are corrugated because their method of kill is to slam into other bugs at crazy speeds then chomp them to bits. The corrugation means they can be folded, slammed, bent any which way and always reform. It also creates air pockets for better aerodynamics. Their eyes wrap up and around their head, allowing for a near full sphere of vision. They also are found on every continent, in every metallic color, and have been tracked migrating across the atlatic because they fuckin felt like it. I will never not stop to watch the best hunter on the planet fly by me. I work on an airport, and they are the best pilots around.
How often do you trim your curly dog's hair?

My brother and his wife recently bought a cat. What do I do when they're talking to me about it? What I mean is that their stories are always so mundane because it's a cat. They talk to me about how it meows or jump on countertops and yeah, that's what cats do. What am I supposed to say to the 15th story that's about how the cat ate really fast? I get it, to them, the cat matters. But it's not a human. I find stories of human babies boring, but at least those grow. If it's been months/years since I last heard from a human, they're likely to be doing new things. A cat is just going to be doing the same stuff as always.Also, when did it become a thing for a man to show another man photos of his cat? I get it when a woman shows me cat photos. But why is my brother, an adult man, showing me, an adult man, photos of his cat? Why is he expecting me to talk about how cute the cat is? We're men. We can just not talk.
>>5118031
>>5118031You are autistic.
>>5118031>me, an adult manWELL, let's just say the jury's out on this one
>choose to kill an endangered animal over the life of a dumb niglet that climbed the fence If I were the zookeper i would've let the gorilla tear the little shit apart and leave management to deal with the lawyers, they propably would've won the case too.
>>5117917What are the odds that any random given gorilla would tear apart a small child? A male chimpanzee would probably literally eat it, sure, but what about a gorilla? When I watch videos of other kinds of great ape looking at human babies (well, female ones I guess) from behind zoo glass they mostly seem interested or curious, like imagine being a conscious being but also being monke and somebody shows you a human baby, wtf is that. I also saw videos of wild gorillas just touching people that are still around them, and people recommend that if a male gorilla tries to fight you just stand your ground since they fight to socially dominate, not to injure. IIRC some gorillas can also pass the mark test with a mirror it isn't immediately obvious, so they must have some rudimentary understanding that a nigger baby is people and not dangerous. I hope I'm not anthropomorphising or whitewashing gorillas too much here.But on the other hand gorillas, will attack people in response to stress like that one Dutch zoo gorilla who fucked up the woman for tapping on the glass and smiling with her teeth at it every single day. So what would be the real risk of Harambe or some other gorilla in that position attacking a baby for real?
>>5117444Begs the question then, why are we keeping them in a zoo where retards pay to jeer at them? Imagine how stressful it is. Is it for endangered breeding programs? Could it be they're endangered in Africa due to niggers raping monkeys to acquire more HIV strains and eating them as "bush meat" with raw dough?
>>5116137no you wouldn’t have but I agree there was no reason to put the gorilla down
>>5117444Absolutely not. When man fell, creation fell with him, for he was its "god". In an unfallen world creation won't harm man, for that's the nature of creation in its fallen state. An unfallen world is as idyllic as eden, a replica of Isaiah's "the leopard shall lie down with a child" vision.
>>5116220I'd rather have one more gorilla on Earth than one more crackhead.
>>5115975And they're designed to fall apart like soft bread at 3. Lifespan of a fruitfly tier. Absolutely brutal.
Dogs won the long game
