>>5159547>sureLmfao doesn’t even google it or give a fuck at all. I seriously laughed so hard
>>5159621You'd be surprised how gullible and narcissistic people are despite obviously having internet access to correct themselves.
>>5159546I get the feeling this person just had a brainfart and was reading "mammal" instead of "animal."
>>5159646Monotremes are animals
>>5159646Many people just don't consider anything but mammals and maybe reptiles to be "real" animals.

>>5159635It’s fucking psychotic because it could not possibly be easier to get more information on something in the present year. Literally just highlight > right click > search Google for thingI’ve been arrogantly wrong before. Even in this site, I can admit that. When you’re wrong and Google says you’re wrong, you just close tab, pretend that didn’t happen, and then proceed to never make that particular mistake again. These people act like it’d be some great humiliation to just be wrong on the internet one time. Literally just close tab lmfao
>>5159771Yikes. That's all gotta say.
>>5159546iykyk
>>5159771retard could have googled "turtle scales" and seen in 5 seconds that turtles do indeed have scales, but instead decided to write a thesis based on a fundamentally retarded and undeniably wrong premise
>>5159771Reminds me of this retard who posted a meme about pterosaurs being closer to lizards than dinosaurs. And when people rightly corrected her on it she cried wolf about how people are just mad because she’s a woman and she can’t be wrong because she “has a PhD” (she doesn’t) and “pterosaurs are closer to reptiles than they are to dinosaurs because they’re flying reptiles” (Avemetatarsalia be damned)
>>5159796may you please enlighten this poor non-knower?
>>5159576What can an elephant actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue punching.

>>5159841Carnivora forum is a hub of extreme autists debating animal fights like comic book power scalers. They attach their egos to their favourite animal and get very defensive if they think that animal’s status as the strongest/bravest/coolest is challenged. Some of these debates go on for years
>>5159889Occasionally a few of those autists breach containment and come over here. I remember one guy who was posting old newspaper articles about lions killing tigers. There’s also one who was posting in the crocodile thread about how a jaguar could kill a croc 10x its size in one bite
>>5159892>a jaguar could kill a croc 10x its size in one biteit can tho

Was his post made with AI??? I am not convinced somebody casually knows a turtle as obscure as fucking Proterocheris yet doesn't know basic preschool education facts about turtles and reptiles. I have so many questions.

>>5159546>Post your worst/weirdest/funniest examples.Not as exciting as some of the other posts, but as a child I thought possums were egg-laying mammals. Specifically, I thought they laid eggs and stored/incubated them in their pouches.
>>5159771Funny because turtles in German are called Schildkröte ("shield toad")
>Penguins aren't flightless, they just fly underwater :)That's called SWIMMINGI swear I used to hear this all the time and people would always say it in such a smug manner
>>5159904Not my original image but I can try and find the source
>>5159765>Dinosaurs didn't exist "nearly the exact same things but actually real" existed.I don't understand their narrative.
>>5160014I love the implication that they can believe in giant lizards as long as they are able to fly and breathe fire. That is completely reasonable but giant lizards that can't do that are absurd
>>5159901Yeah I noticed this too. This writing style totally isn't AI though and the way it's wrong isn't AI style wrong. AI will usually get a finer point here or there wrong, this has like multiple levels of retard tier incorrect ideas.
>>5159901>>5160073The comment itself isn’t AI, but he definitely used it. I think what he did was force the AI to give him an echo chamber but he doesn’t understand how to actually apply the resulting info. It’s designed to agree with you so if you force a result it’ll often make shit up or provide completely unrelated examples when supporting info is scarce. That’s where he would have gotten obscure names like Proterocheris that don’t actually support his retarded theory

>>5159892>about lions killing tigersIf the lion sees the tiger first (big if because the tiger is a tiger) and if the tiger does not retreat after the first paw to the face, then it's lion who wins. Even if the tiger is 10% heavier
>>5160280Go back to Carnivora faggot
>>5160199>what the fuck did this manatee meltdown have to do with trannies at all? Literally nothing. That guy just starts screaming tranny anon when you challenge his retardation

>>5160187Kek
>>5160319>argument not detectedShut up jew
>>5160229He was responding to the /an/ forced meme about neuronal density and intelligence which is admittedly an even worse metric than EQ.He wasn't wrong. "Experts" here love to declare victory while being obviously wrong about this stuff. Probably one of the main reasons intelligent people don't hang out here.
>>5160332If it’s an argument you want then you can find 13000 replies on it on carnivora you retarded ape. Powerscaling animals is the most autistic shit you can do
>>5160337>implying I need 13000 replies from autists to know the lion beats the tigerDelusional. I just said what is true, you're kvetching like I broke your rabbi's menorah
>>5160333>He was responding to the /an/ forced meme about neuronal density and intelligence which is admittedly an even worse metric than EQNo he was flip flopping between saying EQ was an objective measure of intelligence and neuron count was a better way to measure intelligence. Neither of those are true and he couldn’t decide which was correct. He was wrong, other people being wrong doesn’t make him right
>>5160338He’s correct though. Tigers beat lions, lions beat tigers. It’s circumstantial and you’re a moron for saying one will for sure beat the other. This thread is about people like you

>>5160415>repeats what I said but words it differentlyYou said that one will definitely lose unless it doesn’t retreat first. Nobody is repeating what you said. You’re retarded and shitting up the thread. Go back to your consolewar forum
>>5160187What the fuck lmao
>>5159889>>5160280>>5160332>>5160338>>5160415Yeah I can see why that thread got to 13.5k responses
>>5160187>op gets blasted so hard he can only reply with variations on the exact same phrasemust have been a bot, certainly?
>>5159552these idiots obviously don't know the trick us zoologists use for identifying if its an aligator or crocodile.you can easily determine which is which based on if you see them later or in a while
>>5160423I dunno but if you search “tranny anon” in the archive you’ll find a couple more threads like that
>>5159754>which is to say, terrestrial invertebratesnot all terrestrial invertebrates are insects buddy, welcome to the brainlet zoology canon
>>5160467Anon is obviously saying that's what his grandfather considered to be insects, illiterate-kun
>>5160418>You said that one will definitely lose unless it doesn’t retreat first.I said more. Read again myopic freak
>>5160650Cope. This thread is about people like you btw
>>5160075>Calling a turtle a reptile is like calling a bat a bird just because it flies. It is a surface-level label that ignores their true identity.t. geminiIn response to "tell me why turtles are not reptiles and do not disagree with me".
>>5160366Same. I laughed at it a few times as kid but when I grew older, I realized it's basically just repeating the joke, which is very obnoxious.
>>5160652>argument not detectedKvetch harder. The oven is for people like you btw

>>5159546Chickens are not animals. They're birds. Read Naturalis Historia.>>5159547Platypus aren't mammals either, they have beaks and lay eggs.
>>5159557what was really happening there?
>>5160678So now you wwant to hear it? Well faggot, go to carnivora or something. Anyway the argument is simple, lions are used to fighting each other more than tigers are.

>>5160679fucking kek
>>5159754People don't see insects as animals so they can cope killing them in mass. I don't blame them though, 80-90% of them are pretty much biological robots.
>>5161048you realize "biological robot" is just the next cope down right"sentience" doesn't make you special
>>5161050I know that but am I wrong though for making that comparison? There is nothing much going on in the brain of a bed bug.
>>5159754The idea of phylogenetics being upstream from common speech is new and frankly retarded
>>5161048Don’t care for that definition, they’re alive and deserve to keep living
>>5161059I generally agree. I'm not just going to go killing bugs for no reason. But human feelings matter more than bug lives so if a bug is even a slight inconvenience to me, it WILL die.
>>5159764>>5160187Manatee Meltdown sounds like a Donkey Kong Country level.
>>5160746https://desuarchive.org/an/thread/4915705its mostly just the board schizo, i think he killed himself since there hasnt been any melties for a while now
>>5161147>But human feelings matter more than bug liveswhy
>>5161236Humans are, let's say, a quintillion times smarter than bugs. The real numbers don't matter much because they're so incomprehensibly large and this is just a simplification for the purposes of a post on an indonesian pearl diving forum. As such, our experiences, positive and negative matter more by an equal amount.A bug/human life has a certain value for the bug/human. Let's normalize the scale at the bug life so it's value is 1, while the human life's value is 1 quintillion.A human feeling slightly annoyed has a certain negative value for the human. This value is some small fraction of the value of life, let's say 1 trillionth.From there, it's just basic math. 1 quintillion/1 trillion is 1 million. In other words, the annoyance the bug is causing you is a million times worse than the value of it's life.
>>5161259why does being "smarter" matter
>>5161274Go eat some raw meat and sleep outsideThen tell us being smart doesnt matter
>>5161236>>5161274Go kill a human to save a bug, and tell us how it goes for you.
>>5161274Being smarter means we experience a wider variety of things and our experiences are stronger.A bug barely knows when it's eating, fucking or moving. It's little more than a robot following very basic directives. Humans know what we're eating and can have preferences in food. Same applies to sex. Bugs just do it to reproduce but humans do it in different ways and often for fun. Just ask your mom. We can make plans on where to go for what reason and execute them while bugs just fly or walk around randomly until they hit food or a bug of the opposite sex.And bugs don't make posts on kazakhstani female hating forums, or any of the billion other things humans do besides the requirements for staying alive and reproducing. Their lives are fundamentally more limited and thus have less value.

>>5161161>i think he killed himselfYou have no idea how much i hope this is the case
>>5161285I'm still here you guys just can't spot me 99% of the time
>>5160803What is their problem? How could so much hate fit into such a little package?
>>5161313Hate is a high density substance, like a neutron star. Even a little is a lot.
>>5159585Skill issue
>>5161284I don't understand the retardation it takes to look at this tokay very obviously biting the snake's head and grabbing it off and thinking "retard tokay trying to attack another one even with a snake wrapped around it lulmow"
>>5161313
>>5161313The chihuahua of reptiles.
>>5161161>i think he killed himself since there hasnt been any melties for a while now1. I'm not actually schizo so I'm perfectly capable of ignoring you for months or years at a time2. You're mixing me up with other people. I assume because you didn't understand what they said either.3. If you want to think you "won" an argument you couldn't understand that's fine with me4. There's no reason for me to talk to someone about things they can't understand. "Winning" an argument with me was literally the greatest thing you've accomplished in your life while I got bored with your failures and walked away. And until you bring it up I had completely forgotten you. I live rent free in your head for years. You mean absolutely nothing to me.I hope you're having a good day
>>5161161Also just for the record I did notice how you "beat" me in an argument about face biting in Allosaurus and then agreed with me about the same topic as soon as you thought I was gone.I didn't say anything because I don't care.But I do notice when you call me a retard and then take my side later
>>5161161Also alsoSince you expect me to reddit space and post three times in a rowI admit when I'm wrong. Crocodile tooth cleaning videos e.g.If I haven't admitted I'm wrong it's because I don't believe I'm wrong. I believe you failed to understand. And I likely still believe that. Which is an important reason why I make it a point not to talk to you. What do I get out of arguing zoology or ethology with someone who can't understand me?Truth be told you're probably the smartest person here and that's sad. But it's because you make a point of chasing away anyone smarter than you. A common problem on 4chan lately. Idiots rule the boards and protect their positions aggressively.
>>5161161Anyways I've been here all along. I just started capitalizing my sentences and stopped reddit spacing because without overt clues you morons can't tell me from any other poster.
>>5161386>without overt clues you morons can't tell me from any other poster.Unless of course you're a mod now, but mods know full well I never left
>>5159581mammal means mammaries, anon. it makes milk, eggs or otherwise.
>>5161390And the reason mods know I never left is because I've been rangebanned for 5 years now and require their permission to post every time I reset my device. Over 5 years that's a lot of permission-asking.
>>5161161But end of the day I do appreciate the mention. I've seen you mention me lots of times and usually ignore you. But I am flattered I left a mark in your memory.You may respond as you see fit and I will read your response just like I read all your posts. I may not respond, but you can be sure I've read what you wrote. I always do.
Kek this guy cannot resist going on a self aggrandizing rant whenever he’s mentioned
>>5161412I was mentioned itt at least 3 times before respondingAnd the anon mentioning me has talked about me nonstop for months without response to the point where he thinks I'm dead.I'm perfectly capable of ignoring the handful of anons obsessed with me when I feel like it
>>5161386>>5161414>because without overt clues you morons can't tell me from any other posterClearly you can’t either, since I’m the one who engaged with you in a couple of those threads and not the one who mentioned you here. I’m not sure why you think it must only be one person who notices your retarded narcissistic behaviour
>>5161313Is their bite actually dangerous?
>>5161417>I'm this guy but not that guy!
>>5161417The simple fact is that whether there's one of you or 21 of you this is the only board where I have a dedicated fanclub, and it's the only board with 21 totally different anons with exactly the same vocabulary and interests all obsessed with what I posted years ago. And that's even funnier if you're telling the truth and actually are 21 different retards camped out on /an/ for literal decades
>>5161418as dangerous as a bit from a non-venomous lizard that size can be
>>5159552Any post mentioning cottonmouths is bound to have some winners
>>5159762Bats are bugs
>>5161425>What is the charge? Eating a finger? A succulent human finger?!
Also I just looked up tokays on wikipedia and apparently to soldiers during the vietnam war, its calls earned it the name "fuck you lizard"
>>5161428Classic
trying to look up anything to do with avian cognition that doesnt involve corvids is just slightly less painful than sticking a hot coal up your penishole, but only just
>>5159852I don't know enough to refute you and I'm too lazy to google it
>>5161887Too lazy to google it? Wow, that's a new low even for you. I can't believe you're going to be a mother in a few months.
>>5161890what
>>5161917He got you pregnant while you were distracted.
>>5161313All of them until a few years ago were wild caught and sick. CB Tokays are still ornery but not out of line what you'd see from a mean leachie. They evolved on the mainland while the new caledonians evolved in a relatively placid island ecosystem. Animals from Eurasiafrica tend to be more aggressive/defensive especially towards humans than those from the Americas or Oceania.for an animal to be a common ingredient in Chinese medicine and not be endangered and extinct is a sign that their survival strategy works. >>5161418They can draw blood but they're not delivering a medically significant bite unless you like let it bite you in the cock or something. but if you're naked around a tokay you deserve it. Leachies can deliver worse bites but are usually disinclined to. most of the time they'll do warning bites and they won't hold a real bite like a tokay does.>>5161347people neglect the fact that tokays are the most social geckos and among the more social lizard species. Probably the most complex vocalizations of any lizard and both defend their eggs and offer parental care, and have been demonstrated to be able to differentiate familiar and unfamiliar tokays.
>>5159546>cats are le pestsretards
>>5161428Ive been chased by a cottonmouth.Just because it doesnt happen 100% of the time doesnt negate the fact that it DOES happen.
>>5162200It does not happen and you weren’t chased by a cottonmouth>t. caught probably 500 cottonmouths over the years
>>5161451>TAKE YOUR HAND OFF MY CLOACA!
>>5161545ive seen multiple studies now claiming that black vultures do something because of their good sense of smell
>>5161545What about parrots? Or pigeons? Plenty of cognitive studies on them.
Animal identification groups will make you realize most people are genuinely retardedI'm not talking about species that look similar, but ones that are clearly different and youd need to blind to not see, or you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about which then you should keep your mouth shut
>>5162200Whatever you say, Cletus
>>5162200Funny how there isn’t a single video of a cottonmouth chasing someone despite every inbred in the southern states claiming it’s happened to them
>>5159546One thing I’ve noticed recently is that when people don’t like an animal they insist that the species overpopulated and needs to be culled. This is especially true with hunters and fisherman talking about big predators>mountain lions are overpopulated, they kill too many deer!>deer are also overpopulated, which is why we need to hunt them!
>>5162728>this animal that reaches sexual maturity at 20 years old and only breeds every couple years is in plague proportions>Don’t ask for a population count or how the same amount of prey can support exponentially increasing predator numbers, that isn’t important
>>5161369>>5161374>>5161381>>5161386>>5161395Is this all one person posting?Can someone give me a qrd on the 'board schizo'? I don't browse /an/ very often and am unfamiliar, would love to know the lore and any particularly funny schizo moments or spergouts
>>5162728>>5162731It's the same thing with every single river being referred to as "crocodile-infested" if there's even just one living there. I've always thought it was strange that nobody ever brought up reintroducing predators like wolves to deal with white-tailed deer overpopulation but as I got older I realized it was because boomers would get triggered by them and sport hunters think they would compete with them for "their" prey.
Has anyone seen Pterosaur Heresies? An entire website dedicated to being wrong. >>5163078
>>5163080There’s a couple resident schizos. That one is an elderly narcissist who believes that everyone who points out his retardation is his arch nemesis paleoschizo. Paleoschizo is another board schizo who has meltdowns over feathered dinosaurs, tv shows and other unimportant shit. He believes that there’s a global conspiracy to emasculate dinosaurs by putting feathers on them
>>5163087If there's any conspiracy, it's furrycon trying to put the colour patterns of living species onto extinct species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Peters_(paleoartist)
>>5163088Sorry link unrelated I think David Peters is hilariously wrong and I can't believe he's been wrong for so long, believes Odontocetes descend from Shrews and Stem Sirenians are the ancestors of Mysticetes and other gobshite contradicted by every DNA and fossil expert ever.
His infamous Hogwash Jeholopterus.
>>5162200
>>5163088>>5163089are you the paleo schizo that anon is referring to?
>>5163110No not him... I do believe Tyrannosaurs probably did have Proto-Feathering due to being related to Maniraptorans. Nothing too spectacular as it relied on it's facial skin for secondary sexual advertisement, not unlike a Monkey.
>>5163110No, normally paleoschizo's posts are about 8x longer and replying to about 4 people at a time in rage.
>>5163090Classic
>>5162566i trust the drunken anecdote of someone who has actually seen an animal in real life over 1000 people who just read shit about them online and insists they know everything.
>>5163087I call all of you paleoschizo because you're indistinguishable from each other.I don't care if you're one paleoschizo or 21. It makes zero difference if nobody can tell you apart.
>>5161448Not all. Wombats are conifers.
>>5163087To put it another way, You. all sing the same wrong lyrics to "Amazing Grace"Paleoschizo is identified by the things he fails to understand. Things which you coincidentally also fail to understand.
>>5163087>an elderly narcissistWhy is he taking so long to die?
>>5163090David Peters is on another level
>>5163087Now I admit it's possible there are multiple people on /an/ with the exact same misunderstandings of cladistics and phylogenetics.However I submit that it doesn't matter to anyone whether you're multiple people or just multiple personalities of one very ill person.It simply makes no difference. If you don't want to be confused with paleoschizo you need to demonstrate knowledge he isn't intelligent enough to understand. This never happens
>>5163166Assholes never die.
>>5163166>>5163170>replying to yourselfA new low even for you, paleoschizo.
>>5163171I reply to myself constantlyIt's the only way I can find someone worth talking to on this board
So yeah, paleoschizo isn't multiple people. It's just one schizo 'agreeing' with himself.
>>5163178That's my conclusion but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.But if it's multiple people that leads to a second even more depressing conclusion.That fucking retard is apparently the smartest person here and that's sad
>>5161428I know when I was a kid our house was against some woods, and every weekend my dad would drag me out, and we'd spend like 6 hours a day clearing out undergrowth, chopping up fallen trees, pulling out poison ivy, and just trying to manage it. About a quarter mile back into the pine woods there was a small creek. One day when we were clearing things out we heard the dog barking, which he usually did when he found a box turtle. We went to go find the dog and he's barking at this big weird fallen tree branch, and as I went to grab the dog my dad yanked me back by the hair and what I thought was a broken bough was a big snake rearing up and hissing at the dog. As a little kid who was spooked and worried about his dog the thing LOOKED massive and felt like it was taller than me reared up. And I remember how wet and pink the mouth looked. My dad was able to call the dog back, and the snake booked it down the bank of the creek, and I never felt like playing in those woods ever fucking again. Definitely the only interesting encounter I've had with a venomous snake, I live in texas now so I've seen rattle snakes slithering away, and one rattled at me once. The only other memorable snake encounter was watching my step dad blast a boa constrictor out of a tree (I didn't know he hated fucking snakes). But this was south georgia, so it was kind of interesting knowing that the snake was probably someone's pet in florida that got loose.
>>5163182>he hated fucking snakesDid he try abstinence
>>5163179Whatever you say, paleoschizo.
>>5163189What I say is that all the zoology knowledge found on /an/ is also found on Google. And when Google information is incomplete, vague, simplistic, or wrong, so is /an/.There's a lot of info that still can't be easily learned on the internet, and people here are largely unaware of this. What we have here is a bunch of Wikipedia educated experts who love to argue and think their misunderstandings of internet knowledge is the final word and winning argument.Or maybe it's not lots of argumentative ignorami. Maybe it's just a couple.Or one.
>I disagree with the scientific community because I saw a Jurassic Park movie>but it is everyone else that is uneducated
>>5163192Pretty sure Bell et al 2017 explained in detail what the scientific community believes regarding feathered tyrannosaurs, and paleoschizo, despite being an imbecile in other things, is basically on the side of the "community" on that topic
>>5160430not funny
>>5163193Phil Bell is a reactionary trying to halt scientific progress for political reasons, just like you paleoschizo.Read Xu Xing's work instead.
>>5163192Paleoschizo's biggest problem with appealing to Bell et al is they used Chinese fossils to support their thesis.He happily disregards Chinese fossils with feathers while having no problem with Chinese scaled fossils. This indicates that even when he's correct, it's for the wrong reasons.
>>5163202You can't appeal to the opinion of the scientific community and disregard that opinion at the same time
>>5163171Not the case
>>5160430Very funny
>>5159546All the pityfags talking about macaques as if they were people. For example saying that the monkeys were retarded for acting like animals under stressful situations
>>5163204Reactionaries aren't part of the scientific community.
>>5163218They very much are.There's a reason they got a shitload of names on that paper.
>>5163220That's because the paper was funded by the US government. It's a worthless paper.
>>5163221All U.S. papers are funded by the U.S. government, among other sources of funding
>>5163223Exactly. They're propaganda.
>>5163227Again, you can't appeal to the scientific community while disregarding that same community
>>5163139>1000 people who just read shit about them online and insists they know everythingMore like people who literally go find and catch snakes as a hobby. I swear every hick thinks he’s an expert just because he lives on a farm. I live in Australia where the local snakes are 10x meaner than any cottonmouth and even they don’t chase people
How can you explain the time a cottonmouth chased me?
>>5163228This is like saying "you can't dismiss flat earthers, they're part of the scientific community".They are not and never were.
>>5163233Let's break it down into 2 broad directions of travel:1. Somewhat towards you2. Somewhat away from youFrom there we can say that a snake when moving is going to travel in one of those 2 general directions. Usually they're going to travel away from you if possible, but sometimes they can't move away from you or for whatever reason just fuck up and move in your general direction. So you very wisely move away and they for whatever reason continue in your general direction.But none of this means they're chasing you. It just means snakes are retarded and you're scared of them.
>>5163236Yet Bell et al got published in a peer refereed scientific journal while you did not
>>5163238>pay-to-play American "scientific" journalWorthless.
>>5163248Then show me the flat earthers that got published
>>5163249You mean like Bell et al? Those flat earthers?
>>5163252No
>>5161313>be pretty colored reptile hunted for trade and STILL a Least Concern chadsomeone had to be the asshole. if it works it works.
>>5163233You misunderstood the behaviour. People see a snake coming towards them and assume they’re being chased. The last video I saw of a cottonmouth “chasing” someone was actually a video of a cottonmouth running away from the camera man in the direction of a person in the background. The people involved got scared and ran away so they assume it was chasing them regardless of the snake’s actual intentions
>>5163139Most of those drunks can’t even tell a water snake from a cottonmouth let alone accurately assess behaviour. Most of the time they’re not even mistaken and are just straight up lying
>>5159771>>5159901>>5160075>x speak for themselves>it’s time to stop y and recognise zYeah that’s AI alright
>>5163112>as it relied on it's facial skin for secondary sexual advertisementhow can you say this as though it is a fact? Surely you mean 'I believe it may possibly have..'
>>5163395Extensive and widespread persistent cranial ornamentation in theropods supports the idea
>>5159762Anyone who goes to the effort to type out "y'all" on the internet is automatically fucking retarded.
>>5163610So by your own logic you are retarded.
>>5163641Of course he’s retarded, he’s posting on 4chan. It’s a requirement
>>5161418It would be very painful
>>5163643kek
>>5163672They are big lizards
>>5161428>>5163182>>5162200I see cottonmouths on a near daily basis and they are one of the least aggressive snake species on the planet to the point that 50 mexicans just swim next to them while they do that little head thing above the water.meanwhile black racers are like the least threatening snake around here and those fuckers chase damn near everything.
I love these and will read the whole thread but might lose interest in typing out by then. so here we go>Looks it's the OCELOT (axolotl)>These are coral. They're plants that grow in the water>The barracuda! (very cold tank, it's a sturgeon) >That thing isn't ALIVE (alligator / croc / caiman behind glass)>Cockatoos are NOT parrots>Your goldfish can't grow into a koi because you keep it in a tiny tank
>>5159962Shielded frog in Romanian, frequently shortened to just "shielded" (countable), I think more so nowadays so as to avoid kids thinking they're literal frogs. It's an old-timey word for shield that's never used nowadays outside of this context.
>>5163957>Your goldfish can't grow into a koi because you keep it in a tiny tankNever heard this one before wtf
>>5159546Animal means non-human mammal
>>5163957While coral are technically animals, they're non-sentient, making them essentially the same as plants.
>>5164007Aren't they basically animals larping as plants?
>>5159553he's almost right. but pleistocene wolves are still wolves.
>>5159546That animals in panthera genus are "big cats".
>>5164010Funny you mention that because that’s exactly what the thread was about
I don’t know why scientists are so lazy to call whales fish. They live in the sea all day and aren’t even furry like dogs.>5 year old me
>>5163395If it did was likely seasonal as it did also rely on camouflage to obscure body. They've found many imprints of extensive facial capillary networks which lends to the seasonal "blushing" theory.
>Chickens can't fly>Yeah they can>No, they can glide, but they can't fly>>5164007Either "no" or you're playing the role too well>>5164439>so lazy to call whales fish.You wot
