>>4904615God here, I made him that way because i think its funny, just like how i made you an unlovable faggot lmao.
>>4904648I knew god was a troll, fucking dickhead.
>>4904615any kind of parasitic wasps that lays its eggs into living caterpillars. Or maybe there is a god and he just has a very fucked up sense of humor, which I kinda respect in a way
>>4904615Hyenas have to give birth through a pseudo penis that they have to rip open with their teeth.
>>4904615yeah,we all watched Casualgeographic
>OwO what's this?
All those horrid sissification parasites:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_castration#Taxonomic_range
>>4905867That reminds me, one of those is Strepsiptera, and every single part of their lifecycle is cursed. It's not even proof that there's no god, it's proof that Satan exists and he rules the world.>the females live as maggot-like parasites inside other insects, with only their heads sticking out (pic), while the mobile males only exist to reproduce and die within hours>In all strepsipterans the male mates by rupturing the female's cuticle. Sperm passes through the opening directly into the body in a process called traumatic insemination>Strepsiptera eggs hatch inside the female, and the planidium larvae can move around freely within the female's haemocoel [blood]; this behavior is unique to these insects. The offspring consume their mother from the inside in a process known as haemocoelous viviparity. Each female produces many thousands of planidium larvae. The larvae emerge from the brood opening/canal on the female's head, which protrudes outside the host body.>When the larvae latch onto a host, they enter it by secreting enzymes that soften the cuticle, usually in the abdominal region of the host. Some species have been reported to enter the eggs of hosts. >Once inside the host, they undergo hypermetamorphosis and transform into a less-mobile, legless larval form. They induce the host to produce a bag-like structure inside which they feed and grow. This structure, made from host tissue, protects them from the immune defences of the host. Larvae go through four more instars, and in each moult the older cuticle separates but is not discarded, so multiple layers form around the larvae.>The colour and shape of the host's abdomen may be changed and the host usually becomes sterile. Females may occupy up to 90% of the abdominal volume of their hosts.
>>4905867for me it's
>>4905873Whoever made this surely loves the chaotic nature of the universe and wanted to portray it by making a disaster of a diagram.
>>4904648>I must apologize for Wimp Lo. He is an idiot. We purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
Things like these make me care less about nature. I care about the environment for being beautiful and healthy for humans, but "letting animals live their natural wild lives" is not a particularly good thing.
>>4905870h-how does evolution become THIS specific
idk it looks like they're perfectly curling upon its skin
>>4904648>just like how i made you an unlovable faggotSo you're responsible for the influx of lgbt? No wonder people abandon their faith in you. Satan was right.
>>4905709is this a snake or one of these fishes that crawl inside your dick?
>>4905870i love animals, including insects, even strange ones, but this is fucking horrifying
>>4904648Fuckin lool
>>4907919Dick fish
>>4905870I hate nature.
>>4904648then fuck you God. Why did you make wasps and hippos so damn OP?
>>4904615IDK if this proves there's no God but it must prove his head's not on straight, at the bare minimum.
>>4908576how is this species not extinct
>>4908578Not only is it not extinct, it's actually the very last surviving member of a family of beetles that existed since THE LATE PERMIAN (aka about 255 million years ago give or take).
>>4908576Then what's the "point" of adult stage? I mean, it seems to be wasteful to go through all of that developmental cycle to create non-reproductive adult forms. I know evolution isn't strictly logical, but usually there is some order to it.>Since adults do not have a role in reproduction, they are not a physiological part of the life cycle. Thus, the rarity of adult development in the natural world may be an evolutionary response to the lack of their reproductive role. In laboratory settings, development into adults can be induced by high temperatures, but this also results in high mortality because only one out of hundreds of heat-treated larvae will survive and pupate into an adult.>The adult females live for about six days and males only live for around 12 hours, with a strongly biased sex ratio towards females. The adults of both sexes are sterile and are vestigial remnants of a time when the life cycle involved sexual reproduction. The loss of sexual reproduction is likely associated with its infection by Wolbachia bacteria.Okay, Wikipedia explains it>>4908580Crazy stuff
>>4907699billions of years of survival pressure and mutations
>>4905143>boom, headshot
>>4905873This is genuinely unreadable.
>>4904615>Göd, why have you forsaken me? Was my lust for oats too ströng?
>>4904615>god creates creatures who have DNA >DNA changes over time out of need or degradation >shit starts to get whacky evolution as a theory and a concept doesn't disqualify a God creator.have fun dealing with abiogenesis lol
>>4909800Stop being autistic. OP wasn't making a religious point. It's just a thread about fucked up, retarded or nonsensical animals in nature.
>>4909800>>4909802You're both autistic. Now get back to posting Satan's creations.
>>4909800>god of the gapsThe bible is the word of god as it says or is not. God is not wrong. The bible is. The vedas are. The gitas are. The quran is wrong as hell. No one has the word of a true god on hand without a cope-ious amount of denying the basic truths of the natural world. You are a churchless deist who is perpetually shoving a comforting and familiar thought (a conscious will did this) wherever you do not yet have the uncomfortable and horrifying answer (there is no purpose or meaning above us all) that puts all that responsibility, instead, squarely on mankind.
>>4909859
>>4909990What is that demon spawn? Also, it seems like it takes forever to leave.
>>4910259Horsehair worm. When the larvae get old enough to survive on their own they make their host seek water, drowning them and letting the worm return to water so it can reproduce.

>>4910302can somebody get this into the toadline community? Although the dogs will probably die "naturally" before the cancer gets them. I just wanna see some SMASHED and SLAMMED organs with extreme TUMOR GIRTH.
>>4904615I forget what it's called but it's some kind of monkey I think.>born without basic survival skills or adaptations>preoccupied with pointless tasks they force each other to complete>regularly consume things they know will make themselves ill>start losing function of major organs 1/3rd of the way into average lifespan>kill each other and other species without warning or need>caused the extinction of countless species and will probably do the same to itselfMan, I really can't remember what it's called. Can anyone help me out?
>>4910781Oh yeah, and they often commit suicide and encourage each other to participate, if that helps.
>>4910781>>4910782Crackers?
>>4907697Agreed. I care about animals but uncritical worship of "Nature" is best left to low IQ hippies.
>>4910302>Although the genome of a CTVT is derived from an individual canid, it is now essentially living as a unicellular, asexually reproducing pathogen>Canine TVTs were initially described by Russian veterinarian M.A. Novinsky in 1876, when he demonstrated that the tumor could be transplanted from one dog to another by infecting them with tumor cells>It is one of only three known transmissible cancers in mammals>The tumor cells are themselves the infectious agents, and the tumors that form are not genetically related to the host dog>The success of this single cell lineage, believed to be the longest continually propagated cell lineage in the worldWhat in the actual fuck am I reading? How is this even possible? Dogs have literal cancer AIDs and it is one of the oldest single cell lineages in the entire fucking world. I am surprised a catfag has not weaponised this yet against dogfags that bring up toxoplasmosis.
>>4904615God works in mysterious ways
>>4905873Where the fuck do I start reading this shit lmao
>>4913140>I am surprised a catfag has not weaponised this yet against dogfags that bring up toxoplasmosisAttracting the attention of the immortal penis cancer seems unwise.
>>4913140Canine TVT doesnt infect peoples minds to make them dog slaves. thats the problem with toxo

>>4909866That's not the God of the gaps fallacy you fucking moron that's the watchmaker/unmoved mover argument. Why is there something instead of nothing is a metaphysical question not a scientific one.
