icelandic sheep
>>5163903>The same white sitting sheep is there like 6 timesNigga they're sheep. One pretty much looks just like another.
>>5163832>Vineland>No vines
>>5163817Moo
Actual sheeps
>>5163858You should have been able to tell from the sheep that are supposed to be staring at the cameraman just looking dead straight regardless of where they are on the image.

holy fuckcall tick anon so he can de-tick him immediately
>>5165623I chuckled out loudWho else here is super excited for their owner to get home?

Post your worst/weirdest/funniest examples.
>>5163395If it did was likely seasonal as it did also rely on camouflage to obscure body. They've found many imprints of extensive facial capillary networks which lends to the seasonal "blushing" theory.

>>5166380Just pick whichever side you feel like and then violently defend it until the day you die. Or just randomly defend whichever side you feel like at any given time. This is the internet after all.

It's such BS that these creatures do not make good pets.
i love these fat little fucks like you wouldnt believe

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep18952Researchers some years ago found in the Dakota Formation of Colorado (Cenomanian age, good for preserving trackways and some plants, less so skeletons) strange collections of footprints scraping the ground. The prints were identifiably those of a three-toed ~16 foot theropod and there were collections of adults/subadults of various sizes in the same place, preserved well. These scrapings are most similar to those formed by modern shorebirds in mating leks.>The sharply-terminated scratch marks found in association with diagnostic theropod tracks represent active theropod scraping or scratching. The most complete theropod tracks include a large Irenesauripus-like27,28 left theropod track on the left side of the holotype scrape (Fig. 3a) and a smaller right theropod track associated with the right side of a shallow paratype scrape (Fig. 3c). The variable size and depth of the scrapes, indicate different levels of activity and persistence by different sized theropods, which based on footprint length had hip heights between ~1.0 and ~2.0m29 and full body lengths between ~2.5 and ~5.0m. This implies either two or more different species, or co-occurrence of conspecific adults and sub-adults of quite different sizes. Elapsed time between scraping episodes cannot be estimated accurately, but was likely short given the similar, good preservation of all scrapes.If it is true that a 2.5-5m long obligate carnivores were lek mating in a specific spot and scraping to impress the ladies, and each area has up to 60 PRESERVED scrapes, how were so many large predators in the same place? You don't get a dozen polar bears all in the same place trying to get laid. What are all the dinos eating? modern apex predators have low population densities. Is the radius out from the site to get food practical for them all to eat? Is this a sign that large theropods had slower metabolisms than mammal predators? Do crocodilians lek at all?
And if the male dinosaurs were going hungry while they lek mated, which is not unreasonable considering plenty of modern male animals will ignore their own safety and lose body mass in an attempt to reproduce during the breeding season with repeated displays, how long can such a big predatory animal even go without food and be in the same place for? A huge walking-distance radius around them is going to be basically devoid of prey after not very long, no?
>>5164954Wouldn't the expectation be that there was just a lot more biomass for most of the Mesozoic? The Earth was generally substantially warmer than today, and wasn't post-mass extinction (both the end of the last Ice Age and the Anthropocene). More large predators just sounds typical if you had more of everything up and down the food chain. We couldn't sustain a Sauropod today, but back then they were hugely successful. Seems like you just had way more food in general.
How are they smart?
they arent, their brains are like 80% eye
>>5166249They aren't smart they are just really good at one thing which is hunting.
>>5166249Only westernfags think they're smart. Virtually every other culture sees them as dumb as a rock
>>5166249I have some of these fuckers in my backyard and they are loud as fuck
>>5166327Most cultures see them as symbols of death actually
Birds are so free. Are you envious of birds?
>>5160527This has basically been disproved at this point. Most bird deaths blamed on cats were actually due to humans directly. That doesn't mean it's good to release cats into an island ecosystem of course. Or anything else for that matter.
>>5160460No.
>>5162269I went for nearly 3 days with barely eating and didn't feel like i was starving to death.
>>5160460I think we lost all the cool birds
The freedom of birds is an insult to me

For me it's these
>>5165144I was feeding these last winter, since there was a lot of snow. There were also grey or northern one, hard to tell them apart, and lots of other birds.

You guys ever just look at animals and go "man they're fucking weird?"I do that with elephants a lot.>fuckhuge>big floppy ears>20ft nose they can also use to grab shit>giant tusks too because being fuckhuge wasnt enough of a defense mechanism>bodies look like duffel bags half full of sandWhat are some animals that make you guys say wtf?
>>5165250Because black people in africa think of them as competition, or they want their meat for "magic" powers
>>5165666It's not that good compared to birds, which have both higher quality eyesight as well as the ability to see using four color cones rather than just three.Human eyesight is only good compared to other mammals that tend to rely on hearing and/or smell. Mammal eyesight as whole is really bad, the result of a period of evolving for nocturnal environments which meant prioritizing recognition of movement rather than clarity of image.
>>5164671We wiped them out by using too much hairspray
>>5165780>>5165799Arguably the coolest animal
>>5165971Why does its face look so human
I miss him so much.
>>5162439>The bones lack signs of scavenging by other dinosaurs, suggesting that Big Al died while the environment was highly stressed; the individual might have failed to find sufficient water or food during the dry season.:(

Allosaurus? More like Kinosaurus
>>5166034Why is ILM incapable of making a new Allosaurus design?
Anyone here had any success breeding these/keeping them alive? I believe they are Mann's ant crickets. I captured maybe 8 adults and 6 or so nymphs. I'd wanted some for maybe a decade and I just turned over some cardboard in my yard and found some under there with some ants. Post setups or other kleptoparasites.
>>5164005cool dudes, they look so much like roaches
>>5164018there's actually some cockroaches that inhabit this exact same niche. ant cockroaches. they look very similar even. I think one species of these is in the cockroach hobby in the USA, from texas. pic related
>>5164005No.
