I liked penguins as a kid, my parents surprised me with a trip to the zoo and got me the petting experience. Man they shit a lot. And the smell is horrid.
They are cool but keep them away from me.

>Perhaps there's a primal urge that keeps drawing us back to Africa for inspiration. After all, this is our fourth model straight from the savannah. If our arousing adventure across Africa has awoken some primal urges within you, it's time to accquaint yourself with the lengthy lance of the giraffe.

They should get Therocephalians for that, there's evidence some species formed packs, and there's also evidence they were venomous.
A pack of Wolf-lizards with poisonous bites would be scary as fuck.

Kinda insane that, despite all the huge land animals of the Permian, the only thing flying above their heads were insects.
The closest thing to flying vertebrates was a group of gliding repitiles.

I have a rat in the kitchen.
He's shrewd. Steals potatoes out of the traps without setting them off.
I've already cut off all sources of food and water and laid out poison and traps. Also a ramikin with salt water in hopes he'll dehydrate himself, but I have my doubts.

Any good ideas?

I love pet rats, but this guy is no pet.

Why are humans so fascinated by lions, if they’re objectively dumb, brutal, treacherous animals?

Male lions kill all cubs that aren’t there after taking over a pride, most male lions die without objective to other male lions, females readily betray their families for stronger males too. They have little to no bonds or loyalty snd only care about sex and food.

Tortoise
>>
I say this without exageration: I trully think they are some of the dumbest fucking animals out there. My mother has a Horsefield and a Goldfish and despite the latter being confined to a tank it seems far more aware than the turtle. As soon as you enter the room the Goldfish comes out from it's hidey hole and will follow you across the length of the tank as you move around the room, it will even spit water out from the top of the tank if it hasn't been fed yet. My father can even tickle it, but the turtle? She's a rock with legs. If she isn't burrowed she is getting stuck because her fatass thought she could fit between the back of a sofa and wall and if she's not getting stuck she will starve herself because her food doesn't have red pepper on it. Doesn't matter if it's green or yellow pepper, she won't touch it unless it's red. No social or emotional attachment/bond despite my mother being autistic around her care and enviroment, she's just a rock. Unless you have a giant yard and want an Aldabra which are naturally social due to their social structures in the wild along with the fact they fucking kick ass, turtles are really low on the reptile rung.

I had a frog and I believe frogs take the crown of retardation. The frog was so retarded I had to wiggle it's food for a good 3minutes in front of its head so it would realise that it's indeed food
>>
>>5158301
Frogs definitely take the cake. At least tortoises are curious, but frogs are almost like motion detecting robots.
>>
>>5158307
Leopard geckos are in-between the stupidity chart between frog and tortoise from my experience. I used to own one 8 years ago and the little bastard had to be hand fed like a baby at times with how hard it was for it to snatch up a simple mealworm, even with the lights off which is better for their vision. Still they performed better than my frog, which sometimes doesn't even notice an insect crawling right on top of it. Makes me wonder how these goobers survive in the wild.
