there's already a thread about birds and gulls which are just picture dumps. why do you need to be a special snowflake and make another?

Which otters do you like?

otters?
>Outside>Beautiful orchestra of the night and nature>Inside>Tiny annoying fire alarm hiding in the shadows at 1 in the morning
>>4898240I fucking hate crickets so goddamn much. Evolved to be the loudest annoying thing that only comes out when you're trying to sleep. If I had 1 wish it would be to eradicate these fucking faggots off the planet.
>>4898240>kill a cricket>a big fucking worm starts crawling out of its corpse
>>4898264>Evolved to be the loudest annoying thinghttps://www.tiktok.com/@oddanimalspecimens/video/7328075754770746670?lang=de-DElol they literally have fucking mutated wings that basically turns their body into an instrument
>>4898268Fuck, now I got that shit in my head.
Post birds, appreciate birds
>>4897004There was a brown thrasher occasionally around my feeders in the spring and summer. They're pretty rare where I live and so the little guy was a delight whenever I saw him.
I hate seeing roadkill. I saw like 2 dead stork this year alone and 0 alive storks.
I was watchin the Cornell Feederwatch livestream and saw this moment which I think does a good job at showing the size difference between a Hairy woodpecker and a Downy woodpecker.
>>4865800Theres been an Osprey hanging around my parents house. Is it possible to befriend it?
>>4898426I don't try too hard to figure out the difference, if I see a big one I just assume it's a hairy. The bird certainly doesn't care if I'm wrong.
I like the idea that non carbon based life could exist in the universe. How do you reckon could these look ? Does the theory that it could happen have grounds to stand on?
>>4897257Carbon is really good for acting as the backbone of big complex molecules. There's a whole branch of chemistry devoted to it (organic chemistry). Silicon could potentially kind of work but it's much more limited in how and with what it will form stable molecules.Lifeforms wouldn't be much different to carbon based ones on any interesting level. Their metabolism would have to be completely different and I doubt you're getting anything more complex than a bacterium.
Wouldn't they need to be at ridiculously high temperatures to form life at all? And even at these temperatures, chemical bonds tend to be way more unstable and are prone to breaking a lot easier.
>>4897297That's how Andy Weir explains his silicon based lifeform Rocky, who's from a planet in the 40 Eridani system. The planet has like 25 times the gravity of earth and is hundreds of degrees celsius. Which is what made it possible for a silicon based life to form.
>>4897284Would the environments described by the other anons allow for more complexity, admitting it's "ideal" for the development of that kind of life? >>4897297>>4897403So how would such a lifeform sustain itself? These kind of limitations could justify interesting paths to development
>>4897257bumping out of interest.
Am I the only one who doesn't think competition exists in nature? I have a hard time believing that an entirely homogeneous group of animals would just randomly kick out one of their own because they lose a single fight or some shit.
>>4898486Them it’s a good thing that what you think doesn’t matter
>>4898486no, theres lots of retarded cucks like you out there.
>take dog to vet for 5 minutes to get allergy shot and ears>that will be $300 please>$120 consult, $100 for allergy shot, $80 for antibiotic cream for earsWhy are vets so expensive? This is also the "cheapest" vet in my areaThe allergy shot & antibiotic cream is only going to last "1-3 months"
>>4895280People don't need vets, either. A good cat or mutt is free and lives in the case of cats nearly 20 damn years or dogs 12-15. You can get rabies shots at the feed and seed once a year. Buying a breed is full retard>but muh nibble mixesWell don't get one, they're visually distinct
being a vet ain't a easy job op
>>4892815Vets are Jews. I just give my dogs flea prevention shit and they've been fine. Ofcourse if they need surgery then yeah a vet is the way to go. However I recommend finding a cool ranch vet, those guys are actually pretty cool and sometimes will work on household pets.
>>4892815>All vets are greedy Jewish kikes!>N-no I don't know anything about animal medicine>Yes I will take my pet to the vet if they get injured>But how dare those jews charge me money!!!Yall literally sound 13 years old. Go back to preddit.
>>4892815>consultExam fees vary, $120 is average in my experience. It's high for a couple reasons: A) vet school is expensive and all the vets are in debt, and B) most clinics are corporate owned now, and they generally have raised their prices. It may not be posted on the outside, most companies don't change the branding or name after they buy. >allergy shotI'm assuming they got cytopoint, which unfortunately is expensive as there is no generic. Pharmacy sets the base price, and it's high, especially if dog is big. Good news, it works amazingly well with no side effects. Bad news, when it wears off symptoms come back immediately and very badly>antibiotic creamdepends on the cream and whats actually in I, but again pharmacy costsThe TL;DR is corporates bought all the practices over COVID and raised prices to turn a profit, as most practices were barely making ends meet.
Does my dog know that I love her? How can I best tell her I love her in dog language?
>>4890468>irreversibly ruined assesYou could make the same argument towards homosexuality. Unfortunately homosexuality is legal now.
>>4894895>You could make the same argument towards homosexuality. Unfortunately homosexuality is legal now.anon one is an animal the other is a human. not sure how you can think the two are comparable
>>4888984>>4889321no
>>4896949yes
>>4895327there is no sharp line between human and animal. the highest animals have equal or greater sentience than the lowest humans
What would the world be like if substantially more plants were evolved to be carnivorous?
>>4897416Blackberry canes are arguably carnivorous, their thorns point towards their roots and they can restrain and kill large prey via exposure, which enriches the soil at their roots.
>>4897366Yea but can it sing?https://youtu.be/KNHrzZUascE?si=goUDSNt-5s2WT26e
>>4897142hot
>>4897133It would be hazardous to go into nature as these plants could pray on humans
>>4897133Better, we should develop more plants capable of consuming flesh. It would save us a lot of hassle with burials.

my new rabbit gave birth unexpectedly! she lives outside and i woke up to her having built a nest behind her house. three of her babies were laying dead outside the nest. i got her 24 days ago so she must have gotten pregnant before i got her. i ran out to get her some alfalfa hay and have been giving her unlimited pellets. is there anything i should know?her nest is essentially a hole that she dug covered with some hay and rabbit fur. idk if its warm enough for her babies? it's getting to the low 40s in fahrenheit possibly even 30s tonight. that's around 7 degrees celsius or lower.
>>4898112>is there anything i should know?She might eat the babies.
>>4898250>She might eat the babies.thats what ive read. im only wondering if i should bring the babies in, like make a nestbox for them and bring them in and out of the house twice a day so she can feed them. i checked on the nest this morning and the kits were okay, but i dont know if they can survive in this cold weather.
>>4897792Howdy
What do you guys think humans are world record holders in compared to other animals? My guess we something like inter-species rape
>>4898293I bet we're the best at masturbating, gooners are pushing the envelope on how strong an orgasm can be. I'm sure we masturbate more than any other animal too.We're also now the record holders for speed, strength, and highest altitude flight.
>>4898484>masturbatingYeah we kinda perfected that. Although I would like to know how much a male young adult chimp with nothing better to do cranks it per day on average
What is the point of this breed? It jobs to other larger breeds, isn't as safe as normal family dogs, isn't as trainable as malinois or a poodle, what is its point? If you want a guard dog, why not get a large moloss or a caucasian shepherd or whatever? Is it just a ghetto status symbol breed now?
pitbull dog + white female is the same as black male + white female
What's the point of a long haired dog? Just get a short haired one? Less cleaning. People have preferences, animals are not drones with a purpose every single time bro...
>>4896866The answer, OP, is blacks. Someone, somewhere, told the blackies that this was a "gangsta" dog, and those apes are so ignorant that they believed it.
>>4896866>What is the point of this breed?After-birth abortions.
Most breeds don't have a point anymore.People keep hunting, sled pulling, shepherding, etc. dogs for the same purpose as a chinese palace pin-chi was meant for.
Water deer thread.
>>4898294I don't remember this animal existing.
>>4898438Dude, it has existed for like an entire week by now. Try to keep up.
>>4898425man I have to admit that kinda came out of left field
>tfw ill never squeeze and pet a water deer
Can anyone help tell if this is male or female cat?Thanks
Obviously a male, now please delete your stuid thread while you still have 4 minutes to do it.

post cows. appreciate cows.
I love cows so much it's insane.
>>4897028I am an inferior lifeform>lactose intolerant>>4897088I like the way you think, it is a cute idea>>4897092Not that insane when you take into consideration how great they are.
>>4897298what is the point of having pigmentation on the tongue
>>4897304I don't think it serves any functional purpose, I think it's just a vestigial genetic quirk.
