I'm sure you're all already aware but I have not seen a thread for it
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6FzxSBefU6w&pp=ygUXdGh5bGFjaW5lIHNwb3R0ZWQgdmlkZW8%3D
Thoughts?
The creature walks with a curious gait but also seems to have a busted hind leg so it may just be an awkward limp.
The tail seems right.
It could be an injured tiger.
I have seen the busted leg theory be proof that it is not a tiger but even if true that doesn't prove it's not.
Footage was taken from mainland Australia not Tasmania

>>4900776
I see the resemblance, it would explain the small size (as opposed to being a juvenile thylacine) and why the kangaroos aren't as alarmed. It even has a similar gate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrbZ2eh6bNc
Maybe the legs in the video are too long to be those of a quoll but it's hard to tell because of the perspective
>>
>>4900770
>>4900772
>Do foxes normally have tails that long? Or thylacines?
Yes. The main issue I see with it is how much the tail bends with each step and how thin the base of the tail appears. Also the guy who filmed it seems to just be another Neil Waters type, saying he “knows these animals better than anyone” and whatever when the best he’s seen of them is apparently some blurry thermal footage
This is a pretty good analysis

They’re super common to find for an island nation, surprisingly stretchy without tearing, and about the right size for work like >>4899732 mentioned.
Most other people just used cattle gut membrane or other organ membranes for gold beating instead and I have no idea how they compare to tanuki balls. Just guessing, but ball skin definitely seems like it’d be less hassle to preserve since it isn’t covered in shit and mucus with a bunch of fat to remove too.

A spider has entered my body against my consent what do I do? I was at my ex's house this morning and she's like you people obsessed with bugs and shit and has fish tanks with spiders and crickets and all that weird shit so I was hanging out with her like usual and we sleep together and nap before I go do whatever for the rest of my day and I wake up to her letting a spider like this one but super tiny into my cockhole. I freaked out and kicked her off the bed and squeezed my cock but idk if it's still in there I said what the fuck and she said she wanted me to cum the spider in her vagina so she can be a spider queen and so I left her house and she spammed text messages saying don't call the police she'll kill herself she'll get raped in prison etc so i blocked her but i don't want her to harm herself so im at home with an ice pack on my cock drinking lemonade so I can piss it out hopefully do spiders like cold? What can I do? I have no insurance so no hospital for me thanks keep me posted

Next to humans.
Bats or mosquitos. Highly mobile disease vectors. With bats it has the potential to mutate mammalian viruses and almost always do because they live in huge colonies and have hundreds of species so like real wide spread of dna for them to mutate with. While mosquitos can host and transmit things that normally require blood transmission silently and often unnoticed.

For pure physical danger on land elephants. Lb for lb though mustelids.

Those mammalian niches ain't gonna fill themselves up

These little niggas right here. Fuck are they smart. I love observing them because of their intelligence. When I'm driving and I see them scavenging in the road, it's entertaining to watch as they casually hop across the double yellow or across the white line to sit on the shoulder of the road and wait for me to drive by so they continue doing what they were doing. The fact they adapted to understand how traffic works in remarkable, can we show some appreciation to the motherFUCKING CROW?

I had to put a crow or raven down a couple months ago and I'll always feel bad about it.
Not sure what happened to it but I found it in my yard unable to move everything but it's head. It was so aware it's crazy, the crow couldn't speak to me but it's eyes were saying a lot, it knew what was happening.
When I killed it the reaction was so human idk if I'll ever forget that day. It's clear to me that crows are much smarter than even most children

The only annoying thing is that they tear up garbage cans. I live on a campus and first thought people were too retarded to throw their trash away, but now I've seen enough thimes that it's these fuckers. They're also smart enough to noch just jump in, but also open some mechanism at the bottom to open the whole thing and spill garbage everywhere.

Last summer I was cycling in city and noticed a crow or raven on the road standing next to a dead blackbird, occasionally pecking at it. 2 other blackbirds where jumping around about 1 meter away, making a lot of angry noises. But the crow/raven didn't mind them and just chilled with his food. I imagined gigachad and basedjacks.
