Just walk under this giraffe to get to the oryx over there. It's not giving you bad luck.

Guys did you know that leopards regularly kill 2 ton rhinos? i know there's no recorded evidence of this happen but it happens trust me
>>5141253I don't know but they are so fucking bizarre. At this point i don't try to argue with them anymore. I think they may actually be retarded
>>5141374The brown bear is the species Ursus arctos. In North America there are two subspecies of brown bear.The grizzly bear is the subspecies U. a. horribilis while Kodiak bears are U. a. gyas. All the brown bears in mainland North America are grizzlies while Kodiak bears are restricted to islands in the Kodiak archipelago.Within U. a. horribilis there are three main populations. Interior grizzlies, Alaska peninsula grizzlies and barren ground grizzlies. The Alaska peninsula grizzlies used to be considered as their own distinct subspecies U. a. gyas, but have since been synonymised with U. a. horribilis after genetic analysis showed that they were not distinct.
>>5141401>while Kodiak bears are U. a. gyasI meant to say U. a. middendorffi here

this better not be an AI generated trail cam picture
even so does anyone else think trail cams could be getting out of hand??? fuck AI shit tho
>>5140673Is it just me or is this image popular because it looks like the polar bear is holding a gun to its head?
Just wait for it to land and aim slightly ahead of it. They take off towards their front.
>>5141236Normal house flies are good at calculating and executing the best avoidance movements. They don't always go forward. The real trick is to swat them from the thin blind spot directly behind them. THEN they will go forward with a delay and you can get them if you aim ahead.
>>5141236flies have too many i-frames on takeoff, needs a nerf
I catch the air a few inches above them, usually scoop the fly up as well. Swatting them smears fly guts on things, catching them is better. You can then crush them if you want or let them outside to go land on some more poop.
You can trap them with a bright flashlight. When they land shine the light on them and slowly close the distance until you have them trapped between the flashlight and surface.
What the fuck is this thing?

Dobsonfly. You should be glad, they're one of the biggest indicators of good water quality.
Is it possible to convince a raccoon to leave your property by trying to repeatedly murder it and deprive it of sleep?I recently had a male raccoon take up residence inside of the joist bays of my attic. It was living up there for probably three or four weeks. Apparently my neighborhood is so yupped out it's illegal to shoot them with my .22 and the raccoon was in an inaccessible part of my joist bays anyway due to a renovation of the attic into a living space. Some dude who can trap and relocate them came over and used those havaheart traps and they didn't work for shit. It fucking outsmarted the trap and stole the bait every single time. I caught multiple innocent possums on accident. I got so tired of it living in my walls that I went into my garage and underneath my lower attic/crawlspace at dusk and dawn and started jamming a hockey stick and rake into the ceiling where I could hear it walking to go out for the night. There's a few holes in it anyway because my brother used to play hockey in the garage a lot and threw dozens of pucks through the drywall so it didn't really damage anything. When it tried to leave through a second garage attached to the lower level of my house (on a steep grade), I ran down the hill and did the same thing. After a while, it retreated to my interior walls. I took my dog, put it in my truck for a few hours with some food and the windows cracked, went back in the house and blasted high frequency noises that hurt animals' ears with a guitar amp at the raccoon through the wall. Every time it moved to a different part of the wall to escape the noise, I did the same thing. When I woke up this morning the raccoon was gone. It has been gone all day. Do you think it is truly gone or will it return? Would this mischievous, intelligent and highly rugged creature really just leave my attic because I was mean to it?
>>5137387Oh, it's a "I have a problem and nothing you suggest will solve it but I will respond with long meandering vague bread crumbs about my life and situation." threads
Had the same problem op. Best advice is to catch it and dispose of it however you feel like. They hate the following things>peppermint You can get some essential oils and soak some cotton balls with them, throw where they like to hang out.>bright lightsSet a strobe light up in your attic>fox urine They will flee if they think a predator is close, but its gross because your putting animal pee all over.Even if you catch them and choose to release them, you need to do it minimal 10 miles away from your home. They will find there way back if not.Try not to poison them. You dont want some dead animal rotting in your attic in a space you can't reach them.If you manage to capture them and are unable to dispatch them with a firearm best bet is to either drown them, or use some sort of an "escape chamber" to suffocate them. Think a big rubber maid storage container with a helium tank pumping gas into it. These options are kinda fucked up to be honest.>the longer you allow them to stay in your attic the more expensive it becomes to repair the damage they do.I spent $18,000 in repairs last summer. >Find their access point>Try the peppermint oil. >once they're out seal it up.Comment too long.

These options are kinda fucked up to be honest.How much of a sadistic shit do you have to be to go through effort of capturing it alive just to kill it anyways
>>5137205>it's illegal to shoot them with my .22that's one of those "crimes" that are essentially impossible to prosecute unless you confess.
>>5141093Common af in the occupied territories where neighbors shit and piss themselves over a gunshot.
Why do people draw crows with yellow beaks when crows almost always have gray beaks except a few species. Lol.
>>5136798For the same reason they give wolves pointy ears.
Cartoons are usually shit at getting non-mammals right in general, especially birds. Hence stuff like the Roadrunner looking nothing at all like a roadrunner, vultures usually being portrayed by condors, female peacocks with male traits, etc.
>>5136798Also, penguins as well.
>>5136911It’s easier to animate and read facial expressions for birds with lighter beaks, same with apes having light faces instead of dark faces in old animation.

Thread for small animals
The Etruscan shrew isn't really the smallest mammal, but the real smallest mammal is a bat that's butt ugly, so we'll go with this little dude instead.
>>5135366Wasp, of family Mymaridae, referred to as a fairy fly. And there's no real explanation on that wing postulate yet.

>>5134717>gemein>eigentlich ganz nützlich und harmlos???
Apparently this is/used to be common.
>>5140595Could a frog like this eventually evolve true flight or is there some factor preventing amphibians from achieving powered flight?
>>5140604Probably respiratory limits and being cold blooded being some kind of bottle neck for spontaneous energy utilization. >>5140392I thought it was cherry bombs. I remember when I was about 6 or 7 some neighborhood kid showed me a drained pool full of frogs and he would pick them up throw them up and bat them over out the yard. I thought it was funny at the time but never did it myself. As 12 year old I shot a toad with a bb gun and watched it die. Felt really awful about it despite disliking frogs haven't killed anything since.
The reason kids find frogs funny to torture is cause they’re a naturally funny looking species. Their slimy appearance makes them ugly (humans are hardwired to find uncleanliness ugly for disease avoidance), when their large eyes and heads make them cute (humans are hardwired to find features like that cute since we’re made to feel affectionate towards babies), giving them a natural "ugly cute" appearance, similarly to how cartoon characters like Squidward or the Simpsons characters are "ugly cute" and funny to look at, and thus, naturally fitted for comedic situations. Other animals like squirrels, birds, or lizards don’t really have the same funny aesthetic.The thought of seeing funny looking creatures hopping and then exploding the next second is probably peak comedy for kids.
>>5140485As a kid I once ripped the legs off a daddy long legs one by one and put it by an anthill and watched the ants devour it alive.>>5140568A lot of kids do it out of morbid curiosity, to them it’s probably no different than torturing GTA npcs or Minecraft villagers
Lil Jimmy tells his mommy>I shoved a firecracker up a frog's asshole!and mom, frustrated with her son's potty mouth, says>Rectum, Jimmy.and Jimmy replies>Rectum? Yeah, blew 'em to fuckin bits!

>>5134773>I think this one kinda looks like a Rorschach test or somethin.you should look into Eublaberus marajoara or "ink splotch roaches. They literally are crawling Rorschach tests.
>>5134771i decided to draw one desu
>Fur seals (actually sea lions) are sometimes spotted raping penguinsHow common is this for animals? Using animals smaller than you and of a different species to relieve your own sexual frustration
>>5140068It's normal for birds. Ever heard of this thing called a cloaca?
>>5140068>>5140233fun fact, some birds do have dicks like ratites (emus ostriches cassowaries etc) and ducks. which makes sense because duck is one letter away from dick.
>>5140068Most birds dont.>>5140252Kek.
