If you're not allowed to mention any dinosaurs, who is the toughest land predator of all time?
>>5141161It was left there by the Anunnaki
>>5141149Like a mesozoic stoat. Horrifying
>>5141037Their different astralagus-calcaneum articulation probably doesn't scale too well for digitigrade bipedalism or full on sauropod-tier quadrupedal gigantismAlso pseudosuchians didn't seem to have nearly as efficient a breathing system as avemetatarsalians
>>5141001Who molested you
Giant short faced bear could probably deal with the land crocs and hell pigs
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF SILVERFISH
>>5138083>I admire silverfish, I do.
>>5138116I'm guessing you work in a bakery or something? I've tried breeding these as feeder insects and they're surprisingly difficult to consistently breed but are weirdly hard to kill in places that are hot and filled with things they eat.
>>5138083It took multiple doses of roach poison over a year plus to get rid of the long haired fuckers, now I try to leave shipping boxes outside when I get mail so I don't introduce them again
>>5138083Really primitive apterygote. They love up to a few years too. They might be a nuisance but they do have an interesting background as a species. And yes, they damage books
>>5139859Not a bakery, there's a steam plant that heats all the buildings with pipes and tunnels though
i hate ai i dont even know whats real anymoreis this ai? i couldn't find anything with reverse search and i am pretty sure there are no arthropods with only 2 pairs of legs. in addition the ends of the legs look like they are designed to filter feed not to swim. am i going crazy? is this real?
>>5141254unfortunately truehere's this weird little freakI saved the video before AI so I know he's real
>>5137966Sometimes I use view same on desu or 4plebs and try to see how old a clip actually is (on 4chan at least)
>>5137756Good. Video was a bad invention, it fucks with your head, and mass skepticism of every video would be a partial antidote
>>5137708Is that some sort of amphipod?? Don't forget that arthropods do get creative when it comes to modifying and repurposing appendages. The other legs could be modified or greatly reduced. It might be real, resembles the salp-stealing ugly crustacean thing
>>5137708THAT SHIT REALLY IS AI? WHY. Why do they have to fuck up critter enthusiasts with slop
Debunking: Does Cultivation Kill More Animals Than Livestock Farming?https://anupamkatkar.com/2015/10/08/debunking-cultivating-crops-for-vegans-kills-more-animals-than-pasture-grazing-livestock/Picture this: You’re a harvest mouse who lives in a wheat field. Being a mouse, you have excellent hearing and can easily pick up sounds that a human cannot hear. Thanks to your sensitive whiskers and small size, you’re acutely attuned to vibrations caused by large machines. Although your eyesight isn’t the best in the world, your eyes are situated high on your head and offer an excellent all-round view. And to top that off, you have lightning reflexes and dash about at a top speed of 8 miles an hour.

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.
What time is it?
Our essential pollinators that make up 20% of all mammals on earth. Post your favorite bat photos. I'll start: these are african straw-colored fruit bats.

Calves in the dairy industry are separated from their mothers immediately after being born. This makes it easier for farmers to collect milk. Male calves are killed within weeks and female calves are kept in hutches so small they can barely move.
>>5140329I hope you know i was being facetious
>>5136447Is the FBI going around all male calves are killed and all female calves are kept alive and tortured….? I’m sure many farms have their own way of doing it but the norm is just having the calves in a separate pasture… not making them live I Have No Mouth And Must Scream, wtf kind of insane fantasy world do you live in. Animals are treated better than humans IRL

>>5141327Refer to OP.
>>5141325It really sucks. I think about it every now and then, how cool it'd be to be able to just touch things and see its history played before you.A spot of ground, a rock, anything really. A look back through the ages. If I had this power, I would make my way to the Cerutti mastodon kill site relics.
>>5141325on the flip side, future archeologist are going to find your fossils and call you the biggest faggot that ever lived
Hello /an/,You are now reminded that Bumblebee season has officially begun in the northern hemisphere. Bumblebees and Solitary Bees are in massive crisis so this thread will be to discuss ways to help them, ask questions about how to plant for them, and general bombus chat.Note that Mellifera (‘honey bees’) are NOT in crisis, are actually a major culprit in the decline of Bumblebees and Solitary Bees, and aren’t even native to most of the northern hemisphere anyway - so they are banned from this thread. Wasps are fine (but still shit).Previous: >>5117649Related: Vipers Bugloss plugs being prepared by based Anonymous from the other thread.
My bee zone coming along well. There's lots of Bombus here all the time, and I also see solitary bees, the teeny tiny ones, it's great.I think the borage is taking some heat stress, but they're flowering ok still.They seem to be doing fine two to a pot. The low nutrient ones vs the high nutrient ones, the latter have been able to produce nice extra inflorescences from side shoots and definitely have more flowers.Is OP still about?
>>5141223Some leaf cutting bee has moved into the crack in the warped mdf of my potting bench. Must be having a blast in there.I guess this places them in Megachilidae
>>5140450>scientific documents they expect you to pay to seeIn case you aren't aware, you can often paste the url of the paper or the DOI into sci-hub and read papers without going broke.
>>5141223>I think the borage is taking some heat stress, but they're flowering okSame situation here.I went out earlier today and saw the one has pretty much fallen over. All the flowers on it had closed after some bees were feasting so I guess it doesn't make too much of a difference. The ones I planted early June are sprouting nicely. Hoping I can get some more flowers up before autumn hits
>>5141272Yeah I had some trouble keeping them upright. They don't tolerate the gusts well, i staked them with bamboo in the end.Good luck with the new batch
They have been through a lot

Women prefer smaller dogs. It is why they are very fanatic with cats, rabbits and anything small.
>>5140321i wanna cuddle this fella and take him to the park and throw sticks with him
>>5141454>Women prefer smaller dogs. It is why they are very fanatic with cats, rabbits and anything small.Nah. Men are largely for blame for that too. Rabbit and fancy rat keeping was a gentlemans trade along with the breeding of small dogs for smaller game. Rationally makes sense for a sterotypical man too: less space taken up and a cheaper mouth to feed. The inverse can even make sense for women who desire protection or security by having larger dogs (something weirdly common among traditional mastiff breeders up until the 21st century)
if someones stray cat keeps coming to my house should I just keep it? i know whose it is but whenever they claim it back from us or the shelter its back outside roaming on the literal street within a day or two.its not even chipped, nor does it ever have a collar.ive seen too many dead cats on the highway and city streets to feel comfortable continuing to give this neglectful owner this cat back.
nobody owns an outdoor cat, it's a wild animaljust take it they'll forget it and get another one in two months like always
>>5140286Outdoor cats are beloved pets. They're loved more than the poor cats who are trapped indoors for their entire life. Cats are supposed to have access to the outside.
>>5140976Thank you for feeding the dogs>cat missing>idk why :(
>>5139391Anon if you have an outdoor cat it wanders, and it comes up to neighbors because there's a 65% chance you're going to give him a free meal, like most of your sucker neighbors. That's just outside cat behavior, for better or worse, an outdoor tom typically has a pretty big territory they'll roam.
>>5141390This. OP is unhinged for trying to steal a cat
>Chingo Chongu! Me turn back to wild ambush predator for selfie!How is it possible to be this dumb?

>>5140811Chinese IQ studies are limited to their wealthy provinces where the party’s chosen kids dine on meat heavy diets that would make a frenchmen approve and live a life centered around excelling on standardized tests. The rest of the country suffers from impaired brain development for a large number of reasons. You can find similar tricks in other countries/races data, and pull them yourself by finding studies of even, yes, indian populations with average IQs as high as 107. Also, the infamous genius jew claim was extrapolated from a small difference in verbal IQ scores. Upon better inspection jews have the same average IQ as everyone else: 100 (GASP).
