Close your legs,you slut.

If you could bring back extinct animals with time travel, which would you bring back?
I would bring back Thylacosmilus. I like its weirdly shaped lower jaw.
>In b4 "What about T. rex?
I'd rather bring back animals that only REALLY nerdy people care about.

Australian Pied Cormorant
Phalacrocorax varius

I'm continuing my paternal tradition of offering a few fish after we go out, and they've learned to be mostly patient and leave us alone on the water.
They look so handsome til they go all glizzy gulper...

Now that it's getting chilly outside, these fucking things have infested my kitchen. Sure, it's not pristine, but i keep it clean, no food scraps laying about etc, and i still find at least three of the fucking things trapped each morning.
Anyway, i read an urban legend about trapping one, feeding it nothing but other mice and releasing it as some sort of cannibal mouse hunter, does anybody have experience with this or is it just bullshit?

Cats attract mice while making them try harder to stay out of sight retard. Mice are like bugs. Squishing a roach a day won’t do anything.

What's the pitbull of cat breeds?
>>
We don't/can't breed cats like dogs. The best we've done for selective behavioue is slightly more tolerant (ragdoll) or chatty (siamese/burmese/ tonkinese, maine coon, sphynx, I think bobtails), even then it varies within each litter.
Anecdotally, siamese are territorial and loyal and quicker to aggro strangers over hiding. could be a social bias however as siamese owners are weird.
And this is only for certified breeds. Coats don't mean shid without papers.

I have a penguin-related story about my dad:

>early 2000s, i was only an infant so i can't recall the year
>dad is at the penguin exhibit at the memphis zoo with his oldest son (my brother would've been 5-7 at the time)
>dad sees a bucket of fish left unattended by zookeepers
>the man decides to feed the fucking penguins while no one is looking
>mom confronts him and is somewhat embarassed

To this day my father denies being autistic.

Apparently the fine for eagle fathers is $100,000. Sheesh. I guess they were being hunted specifically for the feathers which is why it's banned, which makes sense. Trophy hunting is a waste.

you are the retarded hippy, youre a literally advocating for do nothing policy, just like the retards in europe that dont commercialize the consumption of the invasive crayfish, you help the environment catching invasive animals, you create industry, and you feed people; rome wasnt built in a single day, but it sure as hell wasnt built by deadbeat, procrastinators, lazying around on their asses all day smoking weed
