The last 30 Asiatic cheetahs in the world are all found in Iran, where they and their habitat are currently being bombed by Blompf and Israel. Their range used to extend into India, but they went extinct there in the 1940s. No captive populations in foreign zoos either. Operation Epstein Fury will likely finish them off.

They could probably all be killed in a single drone strike, but what are the chances that actually happens? Don't they live out in the remote desert?

Trump ended the war and forced Iran to surrender. The cheetahs are saved.

From my experience with the marine wildlife on the Adriatic coast in Croatia, war was actually GREAT for the ecosystem.

The Yugoslavian civil war in the 90's prevented commercial fishing and tourism for years.
All the unspent ordinance dumped in the sea didn't affect the wildlife.

Now it's all fucked again and we are turning the Adriatic into an algae infested wasteland.

Get a can of insecticide spray at the nearest convenience store, wait for night and spray it.
Look if there is any activity the next morning, and if not, knock it down with a broom or whatever.

There's seehund too, sea dog = seal.
I thought they were taking the piss when they told me the word nilpferd. They saw a hippo and thought "kind of like a horse (pferd), right? but just in the nile (nil)? ja nahr genug"
Also, I asked them the word for centipede. they said tausendfüßler (thousand-footer). I said well what do you call millipedes? They just became confused and didn't answer.

May she rest in peace. I had a cat from a similar age who died at 20.

>>5129406
nta but you do get over it. Losing the best dog I'll ever have, who grew up with me, hurts more than any human loss I've had. It's been five years or so since she died and now when I think of her it's because I remember something good about her and I talk about her often when before I didn't mention her because it made me sad.

New fish just dropped

>Scientist David Harasti never had any doubt what he would name the tiny orange creature he first spotted on a diving expedition in Papua New Guinea in 2003.

>But it would take another two decades for Harasti and his colleague Graham Short to find the elusive fish again, study it, and officially designate it a new species.

>Meet Solenostomus snuffleupagus, named after the beloved Sesame Street character, Mr. Snuffleupagus.

>Short and Harasti have now written a new paper, published in the journal Fish Biology, describing S. snuffleupagus as a new species of ghost pipefish that makes its home along coral reefs, and disguises itself as red algae.

>>5130033
it's not even pure laziness, it's intentional references to try and grab headlines and research grants, because the only funding scientists ever get is multibillionaires and governments that fund things they think are likely to make them look good, and wholesome chungus referencerinos are the easiest way to do that.
