I feel like they're an under-discussed/underreported (at least outside of academia) part of animalsMany animal matriarchies have them and young male 'teenagers' complete the rest of their learning in bachelor groups sometimes actually guided by a much older 'alpha' male
Animals that form bachelor groups include >Elephant>Horse (Wild/Feral)>Dolphin (Bottlenose)>Lion>Cape Buffalo>Giraffe>Elk / Red Deer>Zebra>Manatee>Bison>Sperm Whale>Humpback Whale>Gelada (Monkey)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>5079703Sea otters:>Sea otters are social animals, with females with pups coming together to rest in groups known as rafts, which are sometimes guarded by a territorial male. Kelp and eelgrass often form a canopy on the ocean surface, much like trees in a forest from canopy overhead. Sea otters will gather in patches of kelp or eelgrass canopy to rest, even securing themselves by wrapping in long strands. Mothers of young pups will often leave their pups in kelp surface canopy when they dive in search of food. Bachelor males (young males, males that haven’t acquired territories, and territorial males on “breaks”) will often gather in all male rafts where they rest and spar with one another in play-like bouts that rarely result in injury. In contrast, when guarding a territory, territorial males will attempt to exclude all other males---sometimes aggressively.

This shit is all over social media and has been for a while. Is it bullshit? What does /an/ think of it
>>5079836imagine the Price is Right showing off a shiny red macintosh apple as the grand prize. the bright lighting, the set design around it, the pedestal it's on.
>>5079836Go back in time and be born to more intelligent parentsThere are people itt who cant understand the difference between not relying on an internal narrative and not having one and can’t understand that visualization can be separate, not downstream from it. Humans are not an intelligent species.
>>5076161How the fuck have people bred these dysgenic, helpless idiot miniature dog breeds and these primally switched on psychopathic beautiful ones, and they never sat up and went let's try and breed one that can communicate? Some dogs are smart enough that it seriously interferes with their being kept as pets, but we never made one you can reason with? Is dog physiology just that far from that kind of communication? Not saying I'd want one, I mean imagine sitting at home and your pet turns on its talk box and says Hey can we rewatch A Fistful of Dollars when we come home from the after dinner walk?

>>4964588I love them. I feel primal dread from it looking at the camera, you can see it's thinking about if it's prey in its predator brain.
>>5024020It's the predator eyes, anon. Forward looking, unblinking, calculating.

post ducks please
>>5078604black twitter crucified her for this
I wouldn't bother, theres rouen ducks that are identical to mallards. Just say its a rouen duck. Get it a few friends. get it a bag of duck feed from the farm store.
>>5078800>>5011873In response to this, sorry im retarded
>>5078604Wow, broke it's neck or cracked his skull.
I've got a 5-month kitten. Give me your cat food advise, what brands are good, what wet and dry food ratio is good, stuff like that.I'm in the EU so maybe the brands are different than what's in your region.

Could there still be some living ground sloths deep within the Amazon rainforest?
>>5077391This. Anything larger would already be captured by radar
>>5078441>>5076969lol
>>5076902It would be strange, since its natural predator still roams that area.
>>5076969most of those testimonies are from the mid to late 20th century, some by older men decades after the fact. they got rarer and more remote over time.unfortunately they probably got pressured hard by the logging and mining in the amazon and are should be critically endangered, if they are still around.

Had to put my dog Ollie down today. She has been in kidney failure for a couple weeks now. I could tell she was doing worse past few days, but she was still trucking. She's a stubborn dog. Today she took a nose dive. Took her to the vet and made the decision. Pic was last night. So much life in her eyes still. She was a good dog. She's 14ish years old, so at least she had a nice long life. Sucks man.
>>5078596I'm so sorry, Anon. She looks very cute.
>>5079880>t.You cat troons and your obsession with trying to run dog people off the board is pointless.They stay. And they stay to shit on cats. 4ch/an/ is now the cat hate center of the internet just like reddit is the dog hate center of the internet. This board is directly affecting policy in new zealand and australia. People come here clueless, and leave shopping for a .22 pellet rifle to take care of the ferals on their property. /an/ redpills normies on how terrible cats arelike /pol/ redpills normies on muhammad's love of zut ts.If only you would have just accepted that cats belong indoors, aren't particularly clean, and are much dumber than dogs. If only. Then we could have had peace.Instead, because cat trannies raided /dog/ for five years straight until it got banned (a cat tranny INVITED LITERAL FUCKING ZOOPHILES just so they could fulfill their own troll posts saying it was full of zoophiles!), we now tell people how to mix tylenol PM and canned fish to create a species-selective poison that kills cats but isn't lethal to raccoons unless they eat several baits. Good job.
>>5079898>cat hate is on the rise againbased. some aryan beast has been making cats unalive (at least over 20 cats that I know of) in the area where I live for months. one poisoned kitten appeared dead in my neighbor's backyard not long ago. and absolutely not a single toxoplasmosis rat behind the pizzeria since october. the psycho has to be a birdGOD (just like me)
>>5078596I've had to do the same thing for the same reason with my dog a few years back. I know how you're feeling right now.Take care anon :)
>>5079954Birdchads and dogchads should form an alliance against the outdoor cat.
And why can’t cats compete?
>>5078739TRVKE
>>5078902>>5078860You could have posted a story about a mother cat rescuing a puppy to one up OP. Instead you chose gay furry porn prominently featuring dog dicks. This is why /an/ is getting increasingly anti-cat. Take your haloperidol, stat!
>furry porncatsissy care to explain?
>>5078909he’s probably using bugs bunny tactics. dont fight, be gay and creepy until everyone leaves.
>>5078456It's a good question. I bet you'll find your answer on /an/ if you look hard enough.
