Thread for small animals
>>5134613That's a bug. Not an animal.
>>5134620It's a bugimal
>>5134620yes, only chordates can be animals
Have the smullest buge I took a pic of this year
>>5134719not buge, spidor
>>5134613>Whats up its me tardigrade or waterbear i die in the millions and get eaten by all kinds of small stuff but i can survive extended periods in space! Wrap your heads around that one stupid hairless apes!
>>5134613you can see that this fly is so small that its wings have changed morphology to include small hairs all over it as that's the optimal way for it to push against the air particles.
>>5134801Its just that they live in puddles and mosses that may dry up and lose oxygen for some periods of time, which is incidentally what space is like - dry and low in oxygen. Not that hard to understand.
>>5135782Christ's sake, just shoot the pig.
>>5135805mmmm velly yummy adrenaline soaked boar meat tradition chinese recipe!!!! tougher than a brick to give strong jaw muscles!!!!!!
>>5135827and what makes you think it doesn't have adrenaline pumping through it as it's hogtied and blinded and being dragged all over the place stressed out of its fucking mind? stupid retard.
>>5135805>japanI dont think they have guns over there to just shoot it
>>5135782why was this even deleted?
>>5136261jap man got a wild hog in a trap and instead of killing it he wrapped its face with ducttape to keep it calm and hogtied it to keep it alive for the drive home, then when he got it home he hoisted it up by its legs and positioned it above a slaughter drain. Didn't even show any slaughtering and the act of it having duct tape being placed around its face and its legs being tied weren't even violent, it was just being held in place.
>>5136025a mod deleted like 10 threads that he simply didnt like about 6 hours ago so it probably had to do with that
>>5135322so what's his deal?
>>5134701I just don't think seahorses should count as fishIf we don't draw a line there then none of the other lines we draw matter
>>5136485it's a trivial visual distinction, though. We already have a different name for them (seahorses) so why bother trying to ratify some stringent classification system that arbitrarily groups them outside of fish in general when even we are technically fish by that same system, but that nobody has any issue with saying "yeah but we're obviously visually different" to too, right?
>>5136469Someone stole his Chaos emeralds.
>>5136452
>>5136689It's more than just visual, it's physical attributesSeahorses have prehensile tails and male pregnancy, those are some pretty hard lines to say hey maybe these are a different creature
>>5136485It's just a modified pipe fish.Why is "fish but bent funny" the line?
>>5136848>when even we are technically fish by that same system, but that nobody has any issue with saying "yeah but we're obviously visually different" to too, right?
>>5135322That's one comfy looking hand-chair
>>5135384don't they also survive extreme temperature conditions too? where's that on earth?
>>5137034Deserts? Lava? Poles?
>>5134704Now I understand why early Artiodactyla went into water
The Etruscan shrew isn't really the smallest mammal, but the real smallest mammal is a bat that's butt ugly, so we'll go with this little dude instead.
>>5135366Wasp, of family Mymaridae, referred to as a fairy fly. And there's no real explanation on that wing postulate yet.
