Ferrets have long been used to help electrician thread cables through tunnels, so much so that there the tools that electrician use in modern day to get wiring through wall is called ferret tool. Actual ferrets are still used to this day, especially in UK were there are a lot of old buildings:

Cable Laying :: The National Ferret School
Freddie was a ferret used by electricians to thread wiring and cable in Auckland, New Zealand. Freddie was very good at his job, and on one morning is recorded as laying cables through 60 different pipes, the longest of which was 40 metres (130 feet).

Meet Spinosaurus Mirabilis, a smaller species of Spinosaurus that as usual is fragmentary like most Spinosaurids but it did preserve an interesting Unicorn like crest and it has longer legs compared to Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus!

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.

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

>no living beings can survive in outer space,let alone thrive
In theory it would be possible through genetic manipulation create some kind of microorganism capable of withstanding vacuum and use special pigments to withstand the radiation and gain energy from it

but even if you could do that they still completely and utterly lack nutrients, so you pretty much need them anchored to a comet for them to have any chance, and it needs to be a comet or waterbearing asteroid rich in carbon and other necessary minerals
you could in theory simplify a creature to use as little elements as possible but even then extracting those from an asteroid or comet rich in them is exceedingly hard constrained by a simplified bodyplan

What's the best big breed to fucking a shitbull when it charges at you? Sorry for making for the 10320134'8453457908579065 pitbull thread but after witnessing more than once these faggots (and a bull terrier too) killing smaller dogs and biting humans who dares to break the fights.
Also
>walking with friends
>3 or 4 ghetto trash with a shitbull (very similar to pic related) standing near a sidewalk wall.
>we almost passed them and I stopped there for a moment.
>i swear the only thing i moved was my goddman hand (i didn't move my arms at all).
>shitbull lungs at me for that tiny hand movement in full schizoid mode.
>shitbull doesn't even have a muzzle.
>"owner" grabs the other end of the leash to stop it just in time.
>"owner" starts lashing out on me and kept yelling I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!!
I know i shouldn't trying to pet other people's shitty dogs but seriously what the fuck was that?! imagine if there was a child instead of me in that situation and the retard owner couldn't stop his dog in time.
He's very very luck I never saw him and his shitbull again after that all that horseshit. It would have been really nice to break their teeth with my brass knuckles. On more thing, i didn't realized what dog it was at first because it was evening and said "dog" was all black (still like pic related) so i didn't realize until the last moment

I believe it is a mix of both. They are more prone to biting than the average dog and it is also true that they are usually owned by a certain type of person lets put it that way
>>
>>5105139
wrong again
>>
shitbulls kill so many people because they were bred to apply predatory aggression to normally inappropriate targets (ie: other dogs) without warning

also the fag simping for them fucks his pitbull and posts poorly filtered photos of its vagina on /trash/

Yes, because human male neanderthal female offspring were sterile. We've known this for a while retard.

never have women needed to protect their own tribe or borders.
their men were slaughtered only to be taken by foreign men and bred anew.
imagine amazons coming in and killing our women, taking you as a prize for your dick alone. wouldn't that be hot.

The muslims don't have dogs but they have a lot of cats. I heard during ramadan right now they also make cats fast. Make them eat before sunrise and prevent them from eating until sunset.

What effect do you think ramadan fasting will have on a cat?

>puts her foxes in her onlyfans nude pics, one of them includes her being pregnant with her daughter

>also constantly e-begs for her expenses for her foxes- all while her husband brags about his new expensive sports cars
>however, one of the redditors criticizing her was a degenerate pooner who was into horrific shit
>her onlyfans are shilled in her facebook so it's not difficult to find; openly promoted one of her foxes sitting in her asscheeks and had a link with it
>the most realistic theory is that she lost funding from non-profits after learning that the Saveafox lady does Onlyfans. Non-profits don't want to go near nsfw with a 10 ft pole so her funding gets dropped which causes her to spiral
