Yes.
What kinda animals have you met there?
I once found a fox that was incredibly tame. The guy chilled with us and even followed us around the place.
>>
it's actually pretty wild how FAST nature is taking back things once you abandon a place. In just a couple years it's barely recognizable
>>
>>4826987
If I could just chill out all day in some gaps in the brickwork and roof timbering I'd do it too. Seems comfy.

What the fuck is that?

>>4827562
Some kind of """wingless fly""" IIRC.

Irish Wolfhounds live 5-7 years and could never kill a wolf in battle.
>>
>>4827571
?
>>
>>4827571
And to add you are talking about modern irish wolfhounds which have no relation to the ancient breed at all. Old irish woldhounds could and did in hunting packs

why in quotes? what's there not to believe? why is every nu4chan poster some contrarian dipshit entirely focused on being the edgiest, most "speshul" faggot in the whole group?

Relevance?
>>4827659
I think you’re overreacting, man.
>>
>>4827659
It could have just been the idea of a creature named for the action of fucking flying not having wings seems silly, and not schizo shit.
But maybe I'm being too charitable, because you're probably still right.
>>
Why do bats have such fucked up faces? Is it because they’re nocturnal? I’ve noticed cave animals and deep sea animals become extremely ugly as they evolve, do all animals have some sense of aesthetics that is abandoned when they can no longer see each other?
>>
>>4828099
You’re thinking of these ones, fruit bats just have dog-like faces and snouts, so not really
>>
>>4828099
>ugly
that's subjective
to a lot of women you are extremely hideous but I think you're a pretty boy
>>
>>4828050
That's exactly why I used triple quotes, why the hell is some insect with no wings called a fly?
Call it a tick or mite, makes way more sense.
>>
>>4827562
>>4827821
It's a batfly, it consumes the blood of the bat, it has a spider like body to hold on to the bat.
>>
>>4828204
>Call it a tick or mite, makes way more sense.
It absolutely fucking doesn't; what the fuck? Ticks and mites are arachnids. Do you realize how taxonomically distant ticks and mites are from flies?

It's their hunting style. Birds that hunt like them also have short gapped months.
>>
>>4828253
They mostly feed on the bats shit.
>>
>>4828496
I guess that’s why they’re named swallows.
>>
>>4827561
Amen to that, brother.
>>
>>4828253
Seems like this particular one isn't actually parasitic but commensalistic. They feed on guano and are harmless to the bats. They live in colonies close to the bat roost. Females groom the larvae and eggs while special males who've surpassed their natural life-span act as guards and emit vibrations so the bats don't find and eat them. Pretty interesting read.
