>>5097279Seething about cats being more popular, some cats are annoying but not as much as them.

>>5097002Ferrets 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 SchoolFreddie 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).https://www.ferret-school.co.uk/working-ferrets/cable-layingFerrets: The World's Cutest Working Cable Guys | SuperpetsDate published Jun 18 2017 Uploader Channel 4 Views 326K viewshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL4zI6rXjI4

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!https://www.popsci.com/science/new-horned-dinosaur-sahara/

does someone recognise which film/documentary this screenshot is from?
>>5106807this is shown immediately before, but sadly that's all I've got
>>5106673I need to watch Primal.
>>5106821it's pretty good
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.
Bump for interest

>>5105982Mammal-like reptiles?
>>5105982yes but as you said those groups are extinct so they cant possibly be harpies
>>5106709Said groups became extinct fairly recently though. You could have your harpies be the last representatives of said group.>>5106677I mean animals like Castorocauda and Morganucodon
>>5104494/thread >>5104470>live in spacealso,choose your words better next time. High altitudes≠space no living beings can survive in outer space,let alone thrive
>>5106751>no living beings can survive in outer space,let alone thriveIn 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 itbut 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 mineralsyou 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

I love my little hognose but goddamn he's a dumbass. It's warming up so he's coming out of hiding. I can tell he's hunting for food so I drop him in a mouse. The retard crawled by it like 10 times without seeing it.
are my crocs brumating? they haven't moved in weeks
Why aren't there more lizard podcasts?

Favorite cryptids? I'm pretty fond of this guy
>>5106134I want to just take a look at bigfoot as solid snake monke instead of mr portal hoppee

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
>>5102224I 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
>>5105139wrong again
shitbulls kill so many people because they were bred to apply predatory aggression to normally inappropriate targets (ie: other dogs) without warningalso the fag simping for them fucks his pitbull and posts poorly filtered photos of its vagina on /trash/
I don't care what breed of dog it is, as long as it's only trained to eat babies and not other dogs. Fuck em babies
Also, fuck american akitas. Fucking nigger dogs worse than pits
H. SAPIEN SISSIES!!! OUR RESPONSE?
>>5105678
>>5104908Yes, because human male neanderthal female offspring were sterile. We've known this for a while retard.
>>5105665never 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.
Reminder 40% of Africans literally have an unidentified ancestor that accounts for 20-30% of their influenced DNA
>>5104908neanderthal women probably were ugly as sin.
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?
>>5103079you are just making shit up no muslim is making their cat fast for ramadan
I don't really understand why mohammedians hate dogs. Dogs have been domesticated in the Levant thousands of years before the entire place became Arab.
>>5106669It all comes down to one persons (Mohamed) schizophrenia and paranoia about dogs
>>5103079thats cute
>>5106207Simple as.

>>5103768I know at least two of them are, and they're pretty open about; I just don't want to feed into it or bring up the topic because it derails what the thread is meant for, regardless of the degenerates it attracts - posting foxes.
>>5103733>He says to a reply agreeing with someone else
>>5102975Truth nuke:>does onlyfans>puts her foxes in her onlyfans nude pics, one of them includes her being pregnant with her daughter>judging by her actions she may of not been an animal abuser but her retardation caused one of the foxes to die a slow painful death>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>also do note that the husband says that reddit didn't cause her to sudoku>somehow this retarded game of telephone and retard mythologize this thot into being a trad white woman who just wanted to run an animal sanctuary but got bullied by evil redditors who hate whitey
>>5104387I mean the redditors were revealed to be a bunch of Karens and troons so yes, they are indeed the greater evil who do not bring joy to anyone and I am glad they are being weeded out of society like the parasites they are
>>5099855Because they're a subhuman continent on a leash of a subhuman religion that practices animal sacrifice.
Bats, but actually looking good

Very radical for a mammal to say "fuck this, I don't want to crawl, I want to fly like the feathery twats do" and just start flying

it's weird how Russia has a few flags with dinosaurs from regions where their fossils were found, but the first inostrancevia fossils were found on Russia too and there's no flag with them.
Giant temnospondyl amphibians
It looks like an alien
Looks like a rhino to me.
>>5105520That looks nothing like us, retard
It’s strangely equine without the horn.
thats a literal rhinosaur
>>5106569I mean that makes sense considering they're just really weird horses
Oak thread? I like the bicolor.
Q. phellos is my favorite. I like oaks with unoak like leaves.
>>5106375Hipster.
I have a bunch of lithocarpus glaber in pots. They don't look like oaks that much.
I love oaks and oak galls
