>>5159547Australia already has the Easter bilby, a cute little dude that's rabbit-like and is being decimated by both invasive rabbits screwing up their homes and foxes, cats, and dogs killing them.
>>5159585What breakdancing move do Australians use to honor the bilby?
>>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.
>>5159704My grandfather insisted that insects (which is to say, terrestrial invertebrates) were not animals.

>>5159552Facebook is cheating
>>5159704Speaking about reptiles...Behold, the biggest crime against Turtle taxonomy of all time.
>>5159771>Turtles are not reptiles. They don't have scales like reptiles>Amphibians have beaks not reptiles >Turtles are ectotherms, This is a trait of amphibians, not reptiles >Turtles existed before reptiles even appeared on earthAdvanced retardation.
>>5159546Not sure if this counts but Clint misinterpreted a paper about Komodo dragon evolution and successfully convince a bunch of midwits that they’re actually island dwarfshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHn-nVBh6UI&vl=en
>>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
>>5159546Found one >>5159894
>>5159771>>5159801>Says turtles existed before reptiles even though pan-testudines only started appearing 230MY compared to reptiles a whole 100MY earlier >Oddly knows what Odontochelys and Proterocheris is yet doesn't know those are 100% reptile fossils>Flat out said Reptiles aren't cold blooded which is the most retarded thing said by far>Said Turtles don't have scales which is an indicator he hasn't ever actually seen a turtle>Said amphibians have beaks which not a single species has one while ignoring birds and various dinosaurs, which are reptiles that have beaks >Bizarrely brings up temnospondyls which is are groups of animals never said to be related to any turtles>Boils down turtles being amphibians solely because some live in water while then ironically complaining about "superficial similarities" >Misses the fact that turtles are amniotic which ultimately makes his entire whole argument redundant right at the start >Misses the fact they don't go through metamorphosis How the hell can someone be this brain dead yet also know so much and so little at the same time? 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.
>>5159771Link the video. I only want to bully him a little bit>>5159780>Study: fossils from Australia are morphologically identical to and within the typical size range of living Komodo dragon specimens>Clint: they’re island dwarvesDid he even read the paper?
>>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

>>5159764>the manatee meltdown threadThat sounds familiar but my memory is hazy
