>think of a river>99% chance it flows south
>>5165670Checkmate atheists
>>5166037Why?Do you worship a river?
>>5166022South is down so gravity pulls the continents in that direction which stretches them, like how stalactites form.
>>5166037>The New River…is one of the oldest rivers on Earth.I want my money back
>>5166070Lol. Had a middle school teacher beat into our brains that South is not down, just maps are printed with North at the top of the page. Probably 75% of my retarded class couldn't understand... >>5166022Why are they like that though?
Is there a cooler snake?
Cobras are cooler because of their flamboyant headgear.
What's this?
>>5166055Winged brown recluse
>>5166055Looks like some manner of animal to me. Maybe a bird on account of the wings.
>>5166055it's a lacewing, if you gently pinch their wings and pick them up, they curl into a U and stink at you. I think they can bite though, they are predators.

Our stupid orange faggot has a UTI again is there any way we can get a med without a vet visit?
Why was their recovery bette than other whales?
Are they our best friend speciefically speaking
>>5165506Yes.>>5165521You eat cat shit on the regular, toxochud.
>>5165521Mine doesn'tI've never seen a dog eat their own poop or any poop except for an australian shepherd that would also try to get its nose into peoples assholes, and it was owned by a gay man
>POVbut that's not what fucking pov is you retarded sacks of shit
>>5165506I mean, we genetically modified them over thousands of years for that exact purpose, so surealso>speciefically speakingwhat the fuck are you saying here?
>>5165996>what the fuck are you saying here?He's clarifying that he's asking from a speciefical perspective so people answer from that perspective.
Guess who turned 9 raisins
>>5165972Cute
>>5165972he is very handsome
>>5165972looks like a yappy faggot
nice dawg
>>5165972Looks like he has strong opinions and isn't afraid to voice them. Based.>>5166042Kill yourself faggot.
why is he so insufferable??
he just reviews animals for comedic purposes. calm down lol.
>>5100371>the gorilla would winThat one hypothetical really fried my brain. How anyone sincerely thought a gorilla could win is beyond me.
>>5164371Normies think that gorillas are eight foot tall behemoths that can bend steel bars with their bare hands because of shit like King Kong and old cartoons/comic books
>>5089250Its true though, he made a video which depicts white female cavemen partnering up with black male cavemen because the black cavemen where supposedly superior to the white cavemen.
>>5088679It's been what, 15 years?
Post pictures and your experiences or other writings of these much maligned and misunderstood Birds.Anhingas welcome also.Promoting Cormorant awareness and appreciation, one post at a time.

Nobody cares about rats.In fact, there is almost no issue more bipartisan than not caring in the slightest about the welfare of rats. Almost no belief is more widely shared by the American public than not giving a rat’s ass about…well…a rat’s ass. There are many times more people who think the earth is 6,000 years old than people who care the slightest bit about the welfare of rats.Rats are about as smart as cats. It’s undeniable that they feel pain; one way we know this is that they have the same brain regions that activate in humans when humans feel pain. Another is that when you try to inflict pain on them, they thrash around horribly—trying desperately to get away. It is obvious when a dog is in pain. It is likewise obvious when a rat is in pain for precisely the same reasons, in exactly the same ways.They solve mazes and do puzzles. They play and can imagine far-off locations; https://www.psychiatrist.com/news/new-study-shows-rats-possess-power-of-imagination-similar-to-humans/ they display meta-cognition, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982221011179 being able to think about their thoughts. They feel more empathy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39298607/ for one another than we do for them. They engage in self-sacrifice https://www.phillymag.com/news/2011/12/14/rats-compassionate/ for the sake of their friends. On some cognitive tests, they outscore humans. https://hbr.org/2015/01/rats-can-be-smarter-than-people
>>5160829Don't we all?
I was born in the year of the ratGovernment trying to poison me too so I can relate

>>5160531I love rats so much. I'll give them a better life. I will.
Would you want to own a Zoo /an/? A realistic roadside zoo or a proper AZA accredited zoo, or anything inbetween? Would you have any ideas that you think would be revolutionary, or any animals you think should be exhibited in captivity more? Would you bother with pandas?Speculative Zoo Thread and discussion
>>5163587I already own multiple zoos anon
>>5163587I already own my own small scale raptor breeding facility. I hope to expand to some mammal species soon that are rare in the USA, like Eurasian red squirrels and Pallas squirrels. It’s not a zoo though because people can’t come and visit. Animals that need to be bred/exhibited more in the USA are the species 90% of zoos ignore; small mammals and such. Like all the new rare squirrels and rodents being imported recently. As for AZA, nobody normal can get accredited like that. It’s notorious for being a special club for the rich elite; it costs a ton of money just to maintain your annual membership. All the animal world cares about is how much money you can give them… I know people who own Pygmy hippos, rhinos, and fossa just because they have a lot of money.
>>5163615Pig-nosed turtled are cute though
>>5163589I've had an idea kind of like this, but for a zoo of small animals and very large microbes. You'd be able to put in so many cool species of amphibians, arthropods, snails and more all in one place. I was even thinking that for some exhibits you could have a camera that zoo-visitors could operate to look around the enclosure from above, instead of just through some looking glass.It'd also double as being a great place for the conservation of smaller animal species that can be really vulnerable, like many of those aforementioned amphibians. For your microbe zoos I think having microscopes to view things would be good.
My zoo would be a giant greenhouse with a boardwalk going through it. Most of the footprint would be a shallow pond full of fish, turtles, and a crocodilian of some sort.
Does /an/ like cows?
>>5165275You better get a blue ribbon at the county fair
nice moos
>>5164632A cow?
>>5164632Cow milking fetish
>>5165994Any other anons like it when big milky tiddy women wear cow print lingerie or is it just me?
>6 month old puppy>ate a rock>blocked intestines>pay 5k for surgery and vet visits>2 months later>ate a ball>blocked intestine>vet wants another 5k for surgeryIdk. Do i put him down at this point. Hes actually kind of suicidal and surgery is just a quick fix to his real problem. If he somehow recovers he will have to wear a muzzle 24/7. Is that even worth it? Part of me thinks he had his chance and he blew it
>>5165831Dogs are exceptionally stupid
>>5165846My dogs never ate non food stuffs besides bits from chewing toys. You talk like you're infected with brain parasites
Well he died. So thats that.
>>5165831Because they are stupid babies that would have gotten naturally selected out of the gene pool if they were wild animals. Same exact thing happens to people
>>5165973:( Sorry anon. Some dogs are quite stupid.
Sea otters have been observed using abalone shells as bowls and using them to hold sea urchins to eat.
>>5165820Burp
>>5165820The abelone bowl can also help clear away some of those annoying urchin quills
>>5165820Like finding an usually large marshmallow in your Lucky Charms
>>5165826Adorable
>>5165820hes just eating the abalone
