Do they not have a word similar to fawn (immature deer) in Korean?
Primary consideration for deer aggression is if they live in an area where people have fed them or suburban areas where they've lost their fear of people.

What is /an/'s favourite nature documentary? For me it's Attenborough's "The Life of X" collection. I've rewatched it recently, and the thing I like about it the most is that it puts more emphasis on life's diversity and how various creatures are adapted to their environment, rather then to try to show a story or a pretty picture, which is what most documentaries do.

I want a Roman style dog collar with 3 inch iron spikes. I'm not abusing the animal, she is a working hound who just might have to fight a half dozen coywolves and i want her to win that fight.

So where do i buy them?

One of my dreams for a long time has been to have a jellyfish aquarium. Ever since I saw the cool jellyfish tanks in the SF aquarium I've thought they looked so cool. It's mesmerizing to watch them, kinda like a lava lamp.

idk how hard it is to maintain a jellyfish aquarium though. maybe those freshwater jellyfish would be easier.
>>
>>5111248
The bigger question is corals. Jellyfish at least look like and move like an animal. Corals literally just look completely alien and more like a plant or a fungus. You have to really get down to the base of what an animal is.

this thread got me inspired to make an attempt at laying down a docu-comic about the paleozoic. i hope the few anons sane enough to give a fuck could take a look at this and tell me how it's looking narratively, accuracy corrections would also be welcome as i aim to have a mixup of accuracy, speculation and inaccuracies for dramatic purposes. pic related is a sketch of mine of the dunk (it has a mixup of the (((engelman))) proportions and older depictions, i envision it as a 6-meters long beast at full age, like this one).

'O

So i'm hosting 7 goats (three pregnant) on short notice inna barn inna woods of Maine, surprise they came with a three yo Maremmano sheep dog that was raised as a puppy with them. Apparently this thing is somewhat rare and doesn't act like other dogs. It is dead silent. It hasn't made a single sound, i just sat in the truck not moving the whole time for four hours on the way there. It is easy enough to handle on a leash once it is on but clearly doesn't like it and it is very difficult to get it on.

We got it to the barn without trouble, let it go and it immediately leapt a 5 foot fence, circled the barn, quartered it then just sat on a elevation and didn't move besides an occasional circling of the barn. It isn't hostile but you can't really get within 4 feet of it, the only thing it does besides 'guard' is break up the goats when they go after each other.

From what i was told:
>Don't make friends with it, it will eventually get used to you
>It will never follow orders and don't try
>It is harmless to humans, keep it away from other canines
>Don't try to confine it, let it patrol the yard
>Don't worry if it wants to stay outside, apparently it will just sit there in a storm and doesn't give af if it is getting slowly covered in several inches of snow
It is a very good looking and well behaved dog, it just seems cautions and utterly focused on it's herd. Obviously a working dog.

Anyone have experience with them? My understanding is i feed it, water it, keep other canines away and otherwise just let it do it's thing.

Pic from wiki, will take one of mine tomorrow.

OP here.

She stalks me becase she knows she can bully me for treats, i've gotten her to eat out of my hand twice, once was a strip of bacon the other was a cheese burger.

I don't like dogs as a person, i am 51 years old and have had several negative incidents where i was bit and i had to shoot one when i was a kid. I know she is an exceptional animal, i just wish she would stop scaring me so much. I go out to take a piss at 3:00 am and she is there staring at me.

I know this is a very exceptional animal but i hate it. She is always outside in the worst weather, she is very expensive to keep, she isn's mine she belongs to no one and and to be honest i'm afraid of a hound that can kill me and she knows that.
>>
>>5111174
well, if you dont like dogs maybe you should send her back. anyway i doubt she's stalking you, if she hears some weird noise in the middle of the night (you pissing outside like a coyote) she's gonna take a check. any dog would do that. and if she's eating from your hand she sees you as a friend and her owner, there's no bullying involved. stop giving her treats and she will still come to you, but with good intentions. trust me, if she didnt like you this is a breed that would have made itself clear, no way she's gonna bite or attack you at this point.
>>
>>5111174
If you’re working with the goats, she would have already attacked you if this was something that should be a big concern.
>>
>>5111174
Come on dude. Its a dog. They only kill 32 people a year and thats like, 30 pitbulls and 2 random abused large intact male dogs, out of 70 million. Just keep feeding them lean meat (doggy pancreas cant handle the lard) and they’ll start to like you.
>>
>>5102863
There are people here who would kill to woo a fluffy strong-willed dog into being their best friend instead of just adopting a lab that is everyones best friend from the first treat. You should be more grateful.
