>>5098225some Indian MMA fighter got killed by a bear in Canada the other week
>>5098225Anyone else feel super blue balled when they can't see what people looked like after getting mauled by predators? I'm not being psycho, I just find it wildly interesting how a big cat like a cougar would choose to attack a human and the sequence of events from the perspective of the human. I saw some unarmed guys get in brushes with brown bears, came away with some nasty cuts, and I'm just wondering how the fuck that happened? The bear heard him scream and fucked off? It did that shit for fun and left when someone else showed up? Bears are supposed to be able to insta a human with one paw. I've seen mtn lions in documentaries do these calculated hunts where they choke the shit out of an animal like a pro. So what's with this girl getting her face torn up? Is a winter jacket enough to save you? I have so many questions.

I just learned about the 'Beast of Gevudan" last night and I was wondering what /an/'s opinions are of what it could have been?Yes, it was real.>"Between 1764 and 1767, a mysterious creature known as the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized southern France, killing over 100 people and injuring many more, causing widespread panic and a royal hunt led by King Louis XV. Eyewitnesses described a massive, calf-sized wolf-like creature with red fur, dark stripes, and a long tail, often viewed as a werewolf or exotic animal."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_G%C3%A9vaudan
>>5116754Werewolves were real until the 19th century when they went extinct
>>5122966not much, you?
>>5128582They didn't become extinct, they just realized that continuing to expose themselves to danger doesn't work when you're outnumbered 10,000 to 1.
>>5116754big wolf specimen potentially injured in a way that got in the way of hunting its prefered way so they go for something slower and youre not gonna outrun a boar or a deer
>>5116754it was a wolf /thread Super comfy fr*nch movie about it called Brotherhood of the Wolf, check it out. The costume design is one of the inspirations for that of Bloodborne.

>>5104807this might be my favorite part of the shoebill, their little messy headfeathers that look almost like hair
>>5061747they don't look related at all, maybe the oversized beakdodos make more sense once you see baby pigeons

After all, what is now the ''current'' official form of the Spinosaurus?
>>5128994The legs were somewhat longer that, and there was another species of it that lived further inland along rivers, rather than just along the coast.
>>5128994CLINT JUST RELEASED NEW SPINO VIDEO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI7KIO44u4Q
>>5130590>ClintNo thanks, I don't watch Mormons
>>5128994I think aquatic spino is a cool dude, and much more interesting than just a generic theropod with a spine
>>5130592all theropods have spines.
What is your favourite /an/ related word or term(inology)?Mine is autotomy.
>>5129159emergenceyou'll start to see it everywhere
Convergent evolution is my oersonal favourite. The idea of unrelated animals evolving similar features due to evolutionary pressures to fit into similar niches is fascinating.

I don't like animals as pets that don't show me affection in return. i know many of you do. why do you own and love your pets that don't show you affection or are even aware of you? or pets that are very skittish or hate humans**i don't hate animals like this But why have as pets.
>>5130519To watch it grow I guess, or patiently waiting for the rare moment that it does acknowledge you
I enjoy designing cool enclosures for them, and watch them thrive, living their little life and display their behaviors, and making my own observations about them. I can't realy say why, I just realy enjoy it. Pic is my pet, he neither loves nor hates me, just slightly intimidated by me. He evolved for stealth and that's what he excells at. I also keep fish, and for the same reason. I am also just inexplicably drawn to these animals.

It's interesting, these things have whiskers *everywhere*. That makes total sense for a parkour specialist living in rocky crags but it's interesting to compare to other animals with similar habits like chinchillas. Chinchillas have lots of big whiskers on their nose but they don't have those huge ones on the eyelids, chin, and seemingly everywhere else on the body.
>All regular spaces are preregular, as are all Hausdorff spaces. There are many results for topological spaces that hold for both regular and Hausdorff spaces. Most of the time, these results hold for all preregular spaces; they were listed for regular and Hausdorff spaces separately because the idea of preregular spaces came later. On the other hand, those results that are truly about regularity generally do not also apply to nonregular Hausdorff spaces.>There are many situations where another condition of topological spaces (such as paracompactness or local compactness) will imply regularity if preregularity is satisfied. Such conditions often come in two versions: a regular version and a Hausdorff version. >Although Hausdorff spaces are not, in general, regular, a Hausdorff space that is also (say) locally compact will be regular, because any Hausdorff space is preregular. Thus from a certain point of view, it is really preregularity, rather than regularity, that matters in these situations. However, definitions are usually still phrased in terms of regularity, since this condition is better known than preregularity.
Me, and, I believe, many others, are constantly being recommended videos of captive Sea Lions doing exceedingly silly, endearing things. And i think it's about time we talked about it.
It's propaganda from Big Seala to make sea lions looks like idiots
>>5129697But like half of all the videos have seals in them as well because normalfags/content farmers don't know the difference between seals and sea lions

Ol' Rip was an old lizard that allegedly hibernated for 31 years with no ill effects. In 1897 a live lizard was put into the cornerstone time capsule of the eastern Texas courthouse. In 1928 the courthouse was being rebuilt and the time capsule was opened in front of a large crowd. The lizard awoke after 20 minutes and then went on a short tour around the US before its death. The body was displayed in the courthouse but was stolen in 1961 and held ransom before being found. In 1962 the future governor John Connally picked up the body and accidentally broke off one of its legs. In 1972 the body was stolen again but the recovered body had four legs. The thief, angry that the town cared so much about a dead lizard wrote an anonymous letter in 1976 saying that he still has the original Ol' Rip and that the one in the courthouse is a fake.
