How are they smart?
Not very smart, like most predatory birds they have tiny little brains and are 99% instinct and senses.
>>5166354 Thought they were symbols of wisdom or secrets.
>>5168413Google what do owls mean in bosch paintings to get a less greek perspective on owls in the west symbolism
>>5166253I was that rat
>>5168413That's primarily an ancient greek and *modern* western thing, in most cultures (including medieval europe, interestingly) owls are associated with death/disease/misfortuneIt makes sense when you think about it. They're weird birds that are mostly only seen and heard at night, make weird noises, and some have vaguely skull-like faces
>>5163962>looks fat>freak of nature to most>dumb and clumsy>most people dont know anything more interesting about youYup

>You think honeybees are good? They're actually BAD>You think earthworms are good? They're actually BAD>You think praying mantises are good? They're actually BAD>You think ladybugs are good? They're actually BAD
>>5166430NO, BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF ROLLY POLLIES IN AMERICA ARE INTRODUCED SPECIES FROM EURASIA, AND ANYTHING NONNATIVE IN THE ECOSYSTEM IS AUTOMATICALLY HECKING BAD (It's the only type of nationalism thats socially acceptable for me to have, but we should open our borders tho)
>Oh, you think animals are cute? Well, let me tell you something, and this is going to blow your mind: they sometimes do gross things that we humans don't do! Maybe you'll think twice before petting a dog next time.
>>5166345nobody is actually anti-cat we just want mittens to stay inside. for his own sake.
>>5166701I am anti-cat. I hate the vermin and wish people would stop getting them as pets.

I got 6 pachliopta kotzebuea and 6 morpho helenor the pachliopta are 2 weeks old so already 2 died (morpho can live up to 2 months) and I've an ethic question : this is the last 2 days with sunny and warm weather should I let them fly outside and certainly die quickly but free or keeping them? it's 23 degrees outside but only 15 at night so they might die this night
Why was their recovery bette than other whales?
>>5166088I feel like they’re a really good midrange whale in that they eat fish, krill, anything, and aren’t that big but are still huge, and can fight orcas with their huge pectoral whips and are the most generalist out of the baleen whales. Other whales are too niche like Blue. Miss one plankton bloom or have their one calf they have every 5 years eaten they’re fucked. >tl;dr humpbacks are the most capable of the big whales living along side humans and exploiting dwindling resourcesMy take anyway.
>>5166695Basically Humpbacks are the Romans of the whale world.

Can't you fucking find non-slop image of a snail? The fucking absolute state of this board.

Does /an/ like penguins?
>>5164725i think i can mog him... but i'm not sure about it.
I would like to snuggle a penguin.
>>5166716same
>Hyraxes live in hierarchical colonies (often numbering up to dozens of individuals) with defined roles. They rely heavily on cooperative behavior, such as community babysitting, huddling for thermoregulation, and posting designated lookouts to scan for aerial and terrestrial predators.>Male rock hyraxes are famous for their elaborate "songs." Research has shown that these songs aren't just random noise; they follow a structural syntax (organizing different vocal elements in specific sequences) and vary in length and complexity depending on social context and environmental triggers.>They display advanced environmental awareness and cognitive decision-making. For instance, lookouts communicate danger using specific alarm calls that prompt different defensive reactions depending on whether the threat comes from the sky (like an eagle) or the ground (like a leopard or jackal).

>>5167292Creature of little power
>>5167292They run the world.
>>5168464Yes they do.
Who is the most terrifying terrestrial apex predator? My guess is it's between a polar bear and a tiger. So which one do you think it is?
>>5167759
>>5164395Girls obviously. A polar bear can't maul my feelings.
>>5164399They kill and eat prey.

I AM SICK OF THESE NO VIEW AISLOP CHANNELS SHOWING UP IN MY SIDEBAR
>>5168350I'm not inherently against the use of AI but god damn people use it to spam the shittiest lowest quality videos
>>5168350What's sad is that the ones I saw had millions of views even though they were still very clearly ai
What does jewtube even collect my private information for if they don't even use it to suggest videos they know I would actually watch instead of trending slop I'll never click on?
not my problem

Got a carrot for me?
>>5140460
>>5154192You can only tell it's an okapi from behind
you faggots ever lick one of these?
>>5168041it would be extremely painful
Yeah and it tasted like the sweetest candy I've ever had. I even went out to catch more an evening after. Would highly recommend
>>5168082specifically the black and yellow ones scared me, something about the pattern caused me to get jumpscared by them
>>5168041That's the "fuck off I'm poisonous" type pattern and no.
>>5168199Could be batesian mimicry. Only one way to find out.
post silly creatures now
>>5158136>>5154796>>5154287Also the ancestors of hyraxes were semiaquatic so having internal testes makes sense for hydrodynamics

>Lone star tick's preferred host is deer>Kill all the deer>???And even if it doesn't do anything for the ticks I'd still like them gone just so they'd quit running in front of cars. I almost hit one today.
>>5167665Looks like it got caught in a wire fence and somehow fucked up its jaw trying to get loose.
