Why do these things smell so fucking bad?? Especially long haired breeds?
>>5132842people buy them without knowing how to tale care of them
>>5132842Water dogs have oil in their coat and longer hair means more smell. Labs/Goldens drool on top of that. Greyhounds and Huskies barely smell. Small dogs clipped short barely smell. Unfortunately for our noses the common dog breeds smell bad.
I quite like a mild dog smell, deer and horses too.
>>5132842My husky smells amazing :) It's the medium-small and below shitrats that stink like piss and stale fart
>>5132876basically this.tons of fungi in there

>>5130720I've seen some tweets here and there reporting the seasons have been changing too early resulting in wild bunnies being unable to adapt and switch to their winter appearance on time, leaving them uncamouflaged and exposed to predators in the snow
What the fuck, they're playing soccer now.
>>5132612They are getting ready for the world cup. You wouldn't get it.

>develop a defense mechanism which repels animals and bugs so they don't eat you>OH SHITI've been thinking about this often. Is it technically an evolutionary victory (for it) if a plant gets farmed for food?
>>5129259That is delicious, really need to make that again.My recent favorite garlic related recipe is filet mignon + shallots and garlic. You cook the filet mignon, then cook garlic and shallots in butter for awhile, then put douse the filet mignon with the buttery mix for awhile. Its so good.
I fucking love garlic I eat that shit raw
>>5129657same, it smells and tastes great
>>5128779Not really. It's a question of their environment. They would have a particular niche in their ecosystem, but domestic plants and animals have human society as their ecosystem. Their ability to reproduce is entirely based on human interest, which their flavor chemicals provide for, so they are successful in their home environment, which is now domestication. An individual plant has kind of a grim survival outlook but that's true of everything in nature, while on the population scale they are extremely secure.
>>5128742>>develop a defense mechanism which repels animals and bugs so they don't eat youSo why do some plants evolve to be delicious so that animals spread their seeds around?
She separated from a man in the forest to gather deer horns. Bear got to her and mauled her to deathRIP
>>5132657No, it’s about weighing the worst thing a man could do against the worst thing a bear could do.
>>5132710What could be significantly worse than being slowly eaten alive?
>>5118848To make antler sheds
>>5132710>spend your entire life around other people>might get your boob touched eventually>spend 5 minutes with a bear>die
>>5126777How do you even get killed by a black bear? Just scream and wave your arms nigga.
Why does an animal that mostly eats fruit and nuts need 2 inch long canine teeth?
>>5129674Human bite force is still pretty strong and if you really feel the need to you can also tear chunks of flesh from the bone
>>5131224Fertility rate status, Timmy?
>>5129674There have been people who have ripped out other people's throats out with their mouthes alone.
>>5132676That number would be much higher if we had developed canines
>>5132893Im pretty sure our bite force alone is enough to do itwe just inhibit ourselves probably because we really don't want a gushing mouthful of someone else's blood
Which animal myths need to die in your opinion? Recently I just found out that not only the nuptial cannibalism isn't universal in praying mantises but it's quite rare in nature as oposed to in captivity where the male has no way to escape from the female.
>>5132608SHOULD HAVE PRAYEDTO THE MANTIS
>>5132608A recent one stating that opossums are prolific consumers of ticks. They'll eat a tick or two if they're in their immediate vicinity, but they don't actively seek them out, nor are they able to put a single dent in their populations.Also, opossums do not consciously play dead. It's an entirely involuntary response. A reflex.
>>5132840I'm convinced this one has gotten at least one person killed
>>5132889Pretty sure I saw a thread yesterday about someone getting their arms bitten by a shark and had to get them amputated, after trying to get a selfie with the shark.
>>5132894Well well well

I just learned about the 'Beast of Gevudan" last night and I was wondering what /an/'s opinions are of what it could have been?Yes, it was real.>"Between 1764 and 1767, a mysterious creature known as the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized southern France, killing over 100 people and injuring many more, causing widespread panic and a royal hunt led by King Louis XV. Eyewitnesses described a massive, calf-sized wolf-like creature with red fur, dark stripes, and a long tail, often viewed as a werewolf or exotic animal."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_G%C3%A9vaudan
>>5116813The Beast of Gevudan killed and ate plenty of women too. Its first two victims were 14-year-old girls, and at that age they'd be almost the same size as adult women.
>>5117908>enlightmentThat was just proto-marxist fuckwittery and slander of tradition. Nothing enlightening about other than demonstrating how much degenerate pseuds like to sniff their own farts.
>>5116833>>5116836>>5117908Unexpectedly turned out it's the dire wolf's closest living relative. Food for thought.
>>5116754if its realy it was probably some kind of bear no single wolf kills 100 people
>>5132836It was most likely not a single wolf but a bunch of wolf kills people assigned to a single animal
Man get the fuck out of here with these goofy ass niggers
>>5131827Based on it sounding like bullshit. Probably weird Indian shit- I just have a hard time believing there’s some pali river dolphin rape epidemic catching a river dolphin to rape it sounds way more trouble than it’s worth. I’m sure it’s happened but I struggle to buy they’re being raped to extinction
>>5132206The main reason for them going extinct is stinky pakistani garbage rivers which are just horrid conditions for most forms of life to live inBut the dolphin hunt rape does happen and is a contributing factor, its way more common than you would think
>>5132374Why do people from that general area love rape so much?
>>5129921China got the fuck out of their river dolphins
>>5130201>We want him killed. I did not say this. I am not here.

>>5130618I have never felt more welcomed than when a flock of domestic pigeons are cooing happily under a bridge. (You) just haven't given them a chance

How does luck factor into evolution
>>5131245High IQ post. Most life evolved naturally. Humans clearly did not. And there is ZERO evidence they did. Transitional forms have a hard cutoff between them and us. They would, however, have made good stock for creating modern humans. The sumerian creation “myth” and accounts of the abzu were only lightly fictionalized through the ignorance and mental simplicity of the people at the time.
>>5132299>abzu*apkallu
>>5131162Evolution and luck are basically the same thing. You're alive because of the genetic luck your ancestors had.If you're like me though, you won't even be lucky enough to pass on your genes.
