Shoebill thread
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?
>>4891895is trying to befriend and feed crows and magpies a good idea? There are alot around where I live and I love watching them and their shenanigans, but I bet there are laws against that and stuff and maybe you don't want to meddle with the ecosystem. But they also constantly rip open trash cans which is also annoying, so it's not like they don't have enough food already, and I bet it would be fun to try to interact with them because they are so smart
crowbros
>>4905888Based trips.>>4904712Plenty of people do just that. But do check local laws because some places ban feeding birds due to crows getting aggressive with other crows fighting for food.
How often do you think about your childhood pets?
Still alive and kicking.
>>4900025because people think the two have>same body language>same mannerisms>same training processes>same petting stylesso when the cat doesn't like someone acting like a retard they think cat = le bad, and when the dog needs more attention than a cat then doggo = baddo. basically retards being retards
>>4901198>weed chocolatewhy
i wish i'd taken more pictures of her.then again i may have just lost all pictures from my first couple cell phones
>>4908087You should see what the Germans used to do with it
This is my theory. Once humans go extinct, crows and parrots will become the dominant species of the planet. They will eventually learn how to use/produce fire, and they will evolve to have small hands at the end of their wings (like the ones pterodactyls had) so they could be more proficient at making and using tools. They might also lose their ability to fly, and they will likely evolve much faster technologically if they'll have access to the research left by humans. Lastly, the two species will either evolve together, or one of them will end up like the Neanderthals and go extinct, while the other one takes over the world.
>>4906617Matt and Trey were correct about many things
>>4906380There won't be another "human-like" animal with our level of intelligence after us, just like there won't be another "dinosaur-like" land animal the size of Argentinosaurus after the asteroid.
>>4906489>burrowsDo sea otters ever burrow? There were people who were skeptical about calling them mustelids because they never saw a sea otter burrow
>>4908741Sea otters can spend their entire lives in water and rarely if ever need to go on land, so it's hard to say. Unlike other marine mammals, sea otters still have paws with semi-retractable nails on their forelimbs, like foxes do, so they should be capable of digging soil if necessary.
>>4906380scorpions will rule the earth, they did it once, they'll do it again now that their enemies are dead.the countdown already started

swarm intelligence, hive minds, and all that, this topic has been more and more interesting to me lately. Ants, bees, locusts, schools of fish, flocks of birds, herds of animals and stuff like that

These are dog breeds specifically bred to be indoor companions, you have plenty of breeds to choose from, which one you getting? Working dogs aren't meant to be pets
I have big working dogs as pets and its kind of a nightmare and i have a lot of free time and a huge propertyWhen they die im never getting anything other than min pin mixes ever again
>>4908650Lords and nobles kept large dogs that had no real function. Most ways of hunting with dogs were invented solely to give the dogs and nobles something fun to do (walks around the same dutchy forever get old) and acquire way fewer calories than burned by the dogs and hunters. These coursing hounds would lay inside with their masters and have free run of the place.
>>4908651Working dog is a shit label reallyMost so called working dogs are just normal dogs that are larger, smarter, and not crippled as opposed to being tiny retarded rodents that can only do command obedience. They can but do not have to do any real work and fetch can be enough for them. Most labs, goldens, setters, hounds, aussies, huskies and german shepherds go here even though i wouldnt call labs and goldens smarter. Go on a jog wow the horror of owning pet that isnt as dumb and sessile as a cat. And then there are WORKING dogs that can really only work. Pitbulls, alabai, pyrenees, malinois, real working line border collies, need a job or they become extremely dangerous and neurotic. Most of the dogs that are really work only are guard dogs, personal protection dogs, dogfighting breeds, or high end herding and sport hunting dogs that sell for $5k plus per mutt. They basically dont have personalities. They are big bundles of mental illness callously sculpted to serve or perish. Dogfags call this mentally defective state "drive" but in humans we would diagnose it as something similar to aspergers or OCD with major aggression issues. These are not normal dogs. They are loathesome slaves that enjoy being slaves or they experience a total mental breakdown. They are incapable of being pets.
>>4906992poodle are hunting dogs
>>4908669He doesn't care, he's the anti-dog schizo. This is his latest cope since he's lost every "dogs bad" argument thus far.

What's the likelihood of ever seeing a mountain cat out in the desert/chaparral hills?
>>4907227Where can I buy one?
>>4907228They're endangered wildcats.Only way you could get one is opening a zoo.
>>4907916They aren't endangered thankfully, they're classified as least concern.
what would happen if you crossed one of those with a normal house cat?
>>4907916>>4908557I wanna buy one rn
