Fuck you. The pass is "Dinosaur". No, I'm not sorry.

>>4802765
Yeah, I had a similar experience with it. Thought it was going to be either some variant of T. Rex or Fang, until I tried just dinosaur.

>>4802774
>In a fight?
No, obviously he meant in sex.

>>4802749
Both cobras and bees are known for their venom, as well as being highly territorial. The difference is, this guy's venom will actually kill you. So choose wisely, will you?

Fun Red Panda fact: Red Panda don't usually make sounds. But when they do, it's usually to communicate with others of their kind. They can make a wide range of sounds. Ranging from squeals and twitters to even quacking.
Yes, Red Panda can make this huff-quacking sound.

Sir, can you please update the brackets?

>>4802806
This is actually the second time in a row dogs lose to pandas. They lost to the normal panda last year in Round 1. Crazy coincidence.

>>4802809
I guess when it comes to cuteness, Pandas have Dogs beaten.

>>4802765
Yeah, host man fucked this up pretty bad

>>4802770
Crocs have greater bite strength and look cooler. These are the only metrics that matter.

Beautiful, majestic, regal and eats monkeys. My favorite animal.

>>4802770
croc will win because his speed is superior

>>4802765
This + the four way is just very meh

>>4802846
He’s very excited about this four way and no one else gives a shit lol

>>4802847
I think it's neat that this is the first time we seen a 4-way. I just wish it was something a little bit more exciting.

>>4802853
Its the first time we're seeing a 4 way because its a bad idea, and some things are never done because theyre just actually worse than how people are already doing it

>>4802859
Is English not your first language or something, I am trying to understand your comment but it isn’t making sense to me

I like the four-way. Would be okay with everyone there aside from the chicken proceeding.

>>4802877
I really doubt the chicken is going to win the 4-way.

I dislike the four-way. Would be not okay with anyone there aside from the chicken proceeding.

>>4802881
What is this fucking point of these types of post?

....this isn't the main tournaments bro. What are you even trying to accomplish?

At least komodo dragons are cool

Ok real talk. Why does everything have to be about Dragonball? You spam literally everything with the same three “jokes” over and over again. Is it really shocking to you that people are starting to tire of it?

Hyperfixations to this degree and repetitive behaviors are signs of actual autism.

Is this guy paranoid about one single DBS post the same currently trying to stir up shit supporting the tranny creator of Fnaf+?

>>4802951
>fnaf
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Maybe some people are tired of seeing the same posts off topics posts over and over again no matter what?

Pfff, I've been literally talking about the /an/ tournament through it. The moment I make a single troll post everyone just lose their minds.

>>4802954

It obviously bothers you because you reply to any pushback

>>4802960

Mr. Sir The Guymanbro

>>4802808
Done
>>4802847
I feel it deserves a little it of propping up. I mean really think about it for a second, How low was the astronomical chance of this happening? Ties are already pretty uncommon for on-board tournaments, but for two to happen back to back AND intertwine into next round to a 4-way? It really is cuckoo crazy, man.
Look forward to telling my nephews this funny story in a couple decades.

>>4802713
While like 90% of the prehistoric picks have bitten the dust, the remaining 10% are among the most iconic prehistoric animals in existence.

>Megalodon
A great white shark but bigger. So much bigger that is the largest toothed predator to have ever lived. Great White Shark already made it to the E8 and Meg is a great contender.
>Brontosaurus
The most famous sauropod, bar Brachiosaurus and Argentinosaurus. It would've been among the most famous dinosaurs alongside Stegosaurus, Triceratops and T-Rex but it was considered invalid for about 50 years until 2015.
>Triceratops
Probably the most famous non-theropod dinosaur of all time, on par with the likes of T. Rex. Doesn't help that physically it was among the most unique looking and awesome dinosaurs to exist.
>Anomalocaris
The cambrian shrimp god holds this board on its fins. There is none who have an equally of a meme and coolness factor to them like the /an/omalocaris has.

>>4802997
Out of all 4 prehistoric picks left, I have a feeling Anomalocaris has a good shot at win this entire thing.

The anti-chicken sentiment in this thread is insane. Vote for chicken.

>>4803000
Smell, Observe, Consume.
The cycle bears a resembling name.
Its of those cycles that we create more, with those added cycles, we end up with lesser forms.
Those lesser forms bears the mark of the sloth, a creature so dense and sluggish despite being a vertebrate it dampens itself. Willingly.

Smell, Observe, Consume.
This cycle bears a name that is used by all and not used by none.
It is the cycle of the ENDLESS.

Jumping spider will win because his speed is superior.

The Marlin lives in the water, and water lives in the Melon. Vote for the tastier Watermelon.

>>4803054
Glad you enjoyed it. Really looking forward to that tag-team with Dale.

>>4802997
Coelacanth in some way is also a prehistoric animal, difference being that it is actually extant instead of extinct.

>>4802749
Fun Fact about the Megalodon:

Through calculations and findings on calcium isotopes in meg teeth, paleobiologists have found that Megalodon had the highest trophic level out of any animal to have ever lived on the planet. Trohpic level essentially means how high you are on the pyramid food chain, and meg occupied the highest of any animal on the history of life. It was the apex of apex predators, it frequently hunted baleen and megaraptorial whales related to sperm whales. Most surprising fact about this is that Meg was alive very recently, until 2 million years ago and the more surprising fact is the fact it had a rival nearing its size and would’ve fought frequently for the same food source, called Livyatan.

Extinction of Megalodon is what enabled baleen whales to become the largest animals in earths history.

>>4803135
It being a living fossil means that it is automatically better than all the other fossils.

I voted chickens. I actually have a bunch in my back yard

>>4803329
I might later. I have a Rhode Island Red named Bane. She was way bigger than the other chicks so we thought she was a rooster until she grew up but the name stuck. Ironically she’s one of the most affectionate chickens we have, she runs to us when we call her name.

I taught my family to banepost so they get the reference.

I'm voting for the Green Tree Python because I like snakes. Snakes are cool :)

They are like fabulous small mythical creatures come to life

I'm voting for the squid because it would be the most thematic opponent for the anomalocaris next round

>>4803428
>thematic matches
You're setting yourself up for disappointment. Why vote for thematic matches, when you can vote for the animal you like the most.

>>4803428
How about you set your standard straight and vote for whoever you like? T. Rex didn't get like four thematic matches because people thought it would be thematic. It happened because those picks were voted by people who genuinely cared for their animal instead of the match up.

>>4803422
>>4803424
it does look pretty cool

>>4803433
And I see you care very much about the rat. Tell me why you like rats, anon.

Diplodocus is definitely more famous than Argentinosaurus

>>4803439
The Coelacanth has lived for millions of years with extremely little changes in itself, for it is already perfect.
The same cannot be said for the dinosaurs that do not exist.

>>4803438
T. Rex vs Bear. Old meme match in /an/ originating from an old magazine that thought dinosaurs as dumb and slow animlas.
T. Rex vs Kiwi. Armless flightless theropods.
T. Rex vs Gorilla. King Kong vs T. Rex rivalry that is still true since the very first movie until Peter Jackson's movie.
T. Rex vs The Crow. The Theropod Final.

Not to mention, it also defeated eggman in the first round.

>>4803424
What I really like about Sea Dragons, and Sea Horses, is just how different they are for a fish. Most fish when you look at them, you can go "Yep, that's a fish.", but these are just so unique in how they look.

The finale is going to be owl vs anomalocaris, where half the thread will be hyping up anomalocaris, and then owl will win in a surprising stomp and the people in the threads will go "well the owls are just cool :)"

>>4802749
Seeing the previous tourney, the Prehistoric animals seem to be doing better this tourney than the previous one. In the same round we're in, we were left with only three prehistoric animals while currently we have four solid prehistoric picks. Same thing for the plant contestants.

Look at these Acorns, they look like tiny Watermelons.

>>4803464
You can claim the owl will reach the finals all you want. I will continue to have faith in the Red Panda.

I don’t want a prehistoric animal to win because I know next year the argument will be made against T. rex that
>Well, we already have a prehistoric winner!

>>4803489
Yeah. I'd be fine with Anomalocaris reaching E8 but wouldn't want it to win this year.

I think we can all agree that if a tiger ever met a shoebill and set its sights on hunting the big bird, it would definitely win. But would the shoebill be able to retaliate in any way at all or do any damage?

>>4803519
Shoebillbros have been strangely silent this entire tournament and it's scaring me

How did the raccoon get btfo so badly? I fully expected it to win. I thought /an/ loves raccoons, there's a thread about them up at basically all times.

>Croc vs Snake
This will be the match of all time

I nominated the marlin but I kinda wanted the watermelon to proceed

>>4803745
You know, I expected these results to have happened in the first /an/lympics. Still, not surprised that Anomalocaris is making it this far.

>>4803748

>>4803783
Yeah, pretty based. Mostly aligns with mine.

Umm, btw I am the "FUCKING CROWFAGS" guy. I did that thing ironically and wasn't really offended by T. Rex losing to crows. A little bit disappointed sure but not upset.

I legitimately have no clue who this dinosaurfag even is.

>>4803793
It's a guy who rigged a T-Rex to win a /co/ tournament, he gets very defensive whenever you bring that up.

>>4803793
I was probably T Rex’s biggest supporter last year, was I disappointed? Yeah. But crows are a great winner so I can’t complain. Will I be supporting him next year? You bet your ass I will

This is common sense.

knee replacements for a fucking dog?? milliennials are an embarrassment

>>4802835
>>4802852
How much would that even cost and where was it done? I can’t imagine many veterinary services are equipped to do fucking knee transplants

>>4802945
You're looking at 5 to 10k for both knees, depending on recovery time. When I worked at the emergency hospital we had a surgical department that did this shit regularly. Knees, spines, hips, people pay insane amounts of money for surgery on their dogs.

>>4802852
Rather buy my dog a knee replacement than give a penny to israel

Maybe we should take all the money that israel steals from us and use it to subsidize dog surgery?

>>4802852
Boomers pay for these things by the droves. I know ~65 year old dude who can't afford to retire and it's largely due to paying way too much for training and health care for hunting dogs. Motherfucker dropped $26k on care for a lab he had bought and it still died in less than 5 years, and that doesn't address the fact that the puppy was $3k and the trailing was probably $6k and he needed to get another dog 10 years earlier than should be acceptable.

>>4802852
Depends on the age. An old dog 15 years+ deserves it in my opinion. Anything less than that should be culled.

>>4802949
>>4803006
>people dropped tens of thousands of dollars on this stuff
like i get the sentiment but come on

It's a dog, i get it, but if you had a beloved pet, and you could ease its suffering in a small way, you would. It's part of the deal you make when you go "Yes, i will take care of you". Granted, 20k is probably a lot more than most people would go, but it's not like the dog gets a little sick and you put it down.

Right?

>>4803296
Requiring an entire knee replacement isnt a little sick though. That's 20k worth of surgery. A dog that requires knee replacement isnt going to live another 3 years even if it has the surgery. At some point you have to use common sense.

>>4803298
anon, i'm not suggesting that 20k is the minimum. But what if it's not a high hurdle. Or even a mildly difficult hop. Is it still common sense the surgery to maintain an active lifestyle and prevent pain if it's not a problem?

my kids dog got sick and you know what happened
it went to the damn vet
and then EVERY DAMN KID had to work at mcdonalds for a summer to pay for it. i gave them an interest free loan.

you lazy fucks are gonna be lounging in lava with satan come judgement day i tell you what. anyone who dies with a dollar to their name will nto enter the kingdom of heaven.


He died

Anonymous

Went to clean out his cage this morning and he was cold and lifeless. Had been suffering from a skin infection for a while but didn't think it was that bad. Probably should have taken him to the Vet but you never know.<br>Buried him in the backyard but I have another guinea pig that's all alone now.

>>4802868
Don’t beat yourself up too much about it anon. They live like two years max.

>>4802868
Why would you get a Guinea pig in the first place
They’re pretty fragile animals

I'm not gonna tear into you, you were an idiot but let's move past that as this situation sucks.

1. Take remaining pig to the vet to make sure the infection wasn't contagious.
2. Get a new pig friend once you're sure they're healthy.
3. Be more responsible in the future, have a greater sense of urgency. These animals are a responsibility.

I'm sorry for your loss regardless.

Got this banner for the first time in a long while

Remember to take your animals to the vet, and bully those who don't.

>>4802602
Damn, I’ve never even gotten this banner. Why is this?

>>4803011
Low frequency, maybe?
I have not gotten 1.jpg or the FLCL banner in years.
If you want a fun little activity open the banner images in a new tab and change the URL to see the different banners

>>4803011
maybe you're just a good pet owner :)


Can you help me identify this animal? It was living in the water from a fallen bamboo trunk. It's 1mm long, it's segmented, has two antennae the same color as the skin, it has many legs. It grabs others like him and sends them flying.

Anybody knows where are all animals catalogued to look it up?

By my limited biology knowledge I was about to say looks like springtail except for color and size. I guess they come in all colors and sizes.

So how do I go on about learning this without formal biology education? There is only one biology school in my country and it's going to shit.

>>4803504
google is good if all you want is to ID critters in your area.

The Trike remains supreme. It soon hold the crown it rightfully deserves.

>>4803815
I'm gonna stop you right there pal

Is it me, or these passwords fucking suck.

Those dragons can jump, but they sure can't fly!

>>4803817
Go ahead, shoot me with your 9 mm and I'll return the favor.

So many good one were culled last round. Only chicken remains, and will stand supreme.

>>4803802
Crocs are cool and all, but they're mostly about brute strength. And that's kind of basic. I much prefer a slithering predator that uses potent venom and intimidation to survive.
Not to mention, I think the cobra is a more unique and interesting creature overall. Better-looking aesthetically, too.

Too many big animals if that's the outcome. Would seem kind of boring to me.

>>4803802
Anglerfish are quite widespread, so different species took on specific traits to adapt to their waters. As a result, they come in a great variety of forms.

Choose your wife, /an/.

Voted for all the prehistorics except for Brontosaurus. I have no attachment to it since 95% of the dinosaur books I had as a kid listed it as invalid. And it's a very generic dinosaur, all things considered, with the most interesting thing about it being its messy classification history. Brachiosaurus/Diplodocus/a few other sauropods would've all been better picks. Plus anglerfish are just plain cool, I think they deserve E8 more.

>>4803859
I'm going off the size of the animals

>>4803861
Yeah, bronto has always been super popular but I’ve never had attachment to it. But anglerfish scared the shit out of me as a kid so I voted bronto anyways

>Meg
>Anglerfish
>Komodo
>Rat
>Cobra
>Anomalocaris
>Beetle
>Tiger
I feel safe going with these picks.

>>4803856
I'm voting bumblebee because they are cool and charming in their own right, but imagining it soloing a big shark is pretty hilarious.

Whatever the E8 may be, at least none of them will be as terrible as Mr. Incredible in Mr. /co/lympus.

Whatever the E8 may be, at least none of them will be as terrible as Luigi in King of /v/.

Whatever the E8 may be, at least none of them will be as terrible as ENA in Ms. /co/.

>>4803919
>Mr. Incredible
Only voted because people thought he'd be the next buff guy winner following Johnny and Kronk, turns out no one really cared about him and thus was silentfagged due to the lack of campaigners or Incredibles fans willing to step up.
>Luigi
Meme pick who got through a piss easy bracket (Banjo and Christopher Robin) while doing "LE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING". No one does anything for him and he's a boring palette swap of a character not worthy of being a winner.
>ENA
Uh.. isn't ENA a tranny?

>>4803924
No. Why are you faggots spamming this shit on /an/? Are you looking for validation or something? What purpose do you get talking about cartoons and video games on a fucking animal board?

>>4803926
Because they're a collective warning as to why anons need to choose their E8 carefully without resorting to meme shit or metafaggotry.

>wake up
>plants rigged out
Back to bed.

>>4803927
You sound fucking autist. Did you get lose on your way to the Special Ed class?

>>4803856
He isn't losing to a regular bee though

I don't understand any of this offboard drama shit.

I just picked the biggest and strongest animal in all of the match ups. I don't know what this series of threads is supposed to be.

>Bumblebee vs Megalodon
>Megalodon rhymes with "Megatron"
LORD MEGATRON, WE ARE IN DANGER

It doesn't help that the autobots are actively rigging Bumblebee just like they did for Optimus last Mr. /co/

>>4803936
Retard autists be retard autists that can't stop being retard autists anywhere they go, and they were brought here. Best to ignore them, just vote and/or leave.

>>4803941
Well Optimus is also a terrible E8 because he beat all low seeds until round 4.

>>4803945
Eh, the Transformers comparisons with the match-up are actually fun.

>>4803950
Wait a minute
>Megalodon sounds almost like Megatron
>One transformer is literally called Bumblebee
>There an entire Transformers series about animals called Beast Wars
Oh you got to be fucking kidding me

You're probably overthinking it.

>>4803962

Oh, the first letter had to be capitalised.
The vague fucking hints don't help.

Why are Syndrome and Starlow trying to ruin /an/?

>>4803962
Imagine being so fucking dumb you can’t figure it out

>>4803938
What would the point of a tournament even be if everyone voted that way anon? Why would the small animals even be included? You're supposed to pick what you think is coolest or your favorites

At least whoever wins they will be better than Recette.

>>4803967
Oh yeah, all the tourneys have had this problem. "Capitalized" means something different from "caps" or "uppercase". When the answer is case sensitive, it's important for hosts to be precise.

>>4803802
Rabbit didn't advance.
I am very cross.

I'm voting for bumbledy bee the bug, not Bumbledy Bee the robit.

Crocodile wins against King Cobra no diff

>Plants get eliminated
>Off topic posting increase
Gee, what a coincidence

As a chicken farmer I must say vote chickens and I'll post eggs

>>4804012
It makes me sad honestly, baby chickens are super nice the vast majority of the time. Ah man, I just wanna go hug mine now

>>4804008
Bees pollinate the delicious plants the rabbit consumes.

>>4804008
Chicken goes “bok bok bok” and eats the grass. So it shares one thing in common with the bunny

Do I want the Tiger Poster or the Elephant issue?

>>4804046
I had the elephant one, it was cool.

I posted a REALLY funny (factual) response and would like to know if it's possible to see other replies as well?

>>4804000
I must say though, their anon was getting lazy with only like 2 posts last thread.

>>4804008
Unironically megalodon lol
Unless the rabbit is in the water

>>4804158
>I only vote for the picks that spam the most

>>4803861
Well, brontosaurus in like 50 years of it being invalid was called Apatosaurus, not only that but it is also outshined by apatosaurus by every metric.

Apatosaurus was on average bigger by 10 tons and it was a hell of a lot more frequent than brontosaurus. In morrison formation there’s over 200+ specimens of Apatosaurus while Brontosaurus has like 20 specimens. This group also was responsible for giving us a great deal of knowledge on how sauropod anatomy worked.

>>4803802
You'd be wise to vote for megalodon

I'm surprised the Quetzalcoatlas and Big Al did so poorly in this tournament. I thought people would really want to see these two make it far but I guess not.

>>4804274
>both were up against sea creatures
The ones that actually rule this tournament are marine chads. This is why megalodon and anomalocaris get a double boost.

>>4804286
Idk, I thought everyone would think the Quetzalcoatlas would be the cooler animal. I think it is.
Because look at it. There isn't anything like it living today.

>>4804274
Quetz did decent last year so I’m kinda surprised it did poorly this year

A good chunk on /an/ is probably not that knowledgeable about dinos so to them Al is just another T-Rex lookalike and Q is an Aztec god

>>4803807
I was a plantfag, now I'm all in on prehistoric picks

>>4804295
To be honest, I am more interested on how Anomalocaris managed to lose in round 2 last year. This year he seems to have all the momentum I thought he’d possess the last year.

>>4803802
can we have a more apt description of what this thread is about in the OP so we can get more /an/ posters joining in and having fun?

>>4804373
It lost to kiwi, I guess lots of Aussies were voting last year

>bumblebees are thought to recognize individual humans
That’s neat.

>>4804383
Well, it didn’t help that Kiwi succumbed to the mighty T. Rex…
Was kiwi even nominated this year?

How many of you have seen the old BBC Blue Planet series? It's really good. The Abyss episode about the deep sea is one of the highlights most people seem to remember. In no small part it's due to great directing. Watch this short clip and how it does its best to frame the anglerfish as a horrifying, chthonic force of nature.<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXl<wbr>8F-eIoiM

>a fluffy mare approaches you

>>4804530
>a fluffy mare approaches you
Man, that shit sets me back. Those comics were among the most fucked up things I've ever read online.

I'm sure some of you know this already, but rhino beetles are arguably proportionally the strongest animals in the world, being able to lift 850 times their own body weight. Their only contender for this title with similar lifting capacity is, funnily enough, another beetle: the dung beetle that we lost a few rounds ago.

Beelieve in yourself!

Whoever goes forward this round won't be taking part in next years tournament.

>>4804608
I don't like this sounds of this...

>>4804608
Another tie?
You can either let higher seed proceed and stick with the regular normal E8 (the non-controversial option), or make sure this tourney goes down in history as the first one to have E9 (potentially controversial but maybe fun)

I would've done Owls and King Cobra, personally.

>>4804633
Legitimately what the fuck happened? I understand Triceratops or Brontosaurus losing this round, but Megalodon and Anomalocaris had massive stride to go on about.

Can the host open up the polls for like a second so that the anon can vote for his picks.

>>4804646
No, that would be dumb, no one's ever done that before

>>4804616
How the fuck did Anomalocaris lose? And how in this god forsaken planet is the french national animal in the elite eight. This is outrageous.

>>4804648
And we’ve never had more than an elite 8 before

I'm honestly a little mad about chicken proceeding. I didn't want Anomalocaris to win this year, but I did want it in E8. Chickens are food.

>>4804651
This is utterly retarded.
Just break the ties with the seed and move on. This tourney has had way too many fucking ties already.

Not only are chicken food but they're the most over-harvested and cucked species on the planet. There's literally the symbol for being spineless and fearful.
Chickens despite being cool in their own right, don't deserve the elite eight spot at all.

Damn. I'm not against having a Top 10 but whew man this just came outta nowhere! The rules set in place state that outside of /co/, tie-breakers decided by seed are only to be done during the finals so unless the majority would really really like a 10 minute lightning round, I'll be proceeding as normal.

PLEASE HELP BABY BUNNIES

hey /an/ im fairly newfag around /an/ but i found five baby bunnies pic rel. they’re orphan's, ive been taking care of them but i also have a dog (small yorkshire terrier) she likes to groom them alot but we keep them snuggled up in a dog cage ive looked around the internet for help but got nothing all i ask is will my dog kill them by accident shes a female
>tl;dr will yorkie kill baby bunnies that shes been grooming for a few days or not

Yorkies are far enough removed from typical terriers, they shouldn't kill rodents. Are the babies eating on their own? If not, go to the feed store and get a couple syringes and some pedialyte.

>>4803693
i gave them baby bunnies formula and bought bags of hay just incase

>>4803672
I’d say they should be fine but bunnies are notoriously fragile so best to err on the side of caution

Good luck bunny man may those kittens be safe and grow up big and strong

>>4803693
rabbits are not rodents they are lagomorphs

>>4803672
Come to /bun/, we have an anon who has been nursing a litter of kits for a few weeks. He might be able to help.


in my experience i can safely say that dealing with animals is like dealing with hobos. they will allow you to get near them as long as you have food or provide shelter, but they don't see you as anything beyond a dumb provider. animals don't give a shit that you care about animals, they won't come to an agreement with you, they will rip each others out for the scraps you give them. and even then, they're still unpredictable and unreliable, and a single bad day can make them sever the "bond" between you and they'll forget about that so fast it's not even funny.<br>considering all this i wonder why people like animals at all, and don't feel surprised at the thought that humans used to consider them as little more than living furniture.

>>4804326
maybe animals just pick up on your gay vibes and dislike them

>>4804356
Fucking feminine twink bottoms is not gay unless you touch balls

>>4804326
This is true for wild animals. Not domesticated ones. Even some tamed animals can bond with humans if they're smart and or sociable enough. Animals aren't child replacements but they also aren't soulless automatons.

>>4804326
if i could own a hobo i would absolutely own a hobo. i think it would be quite interesting having complete and legal control over another human being

>>4804326
I actually agree. Baby animals don't act like that though, they are playful and innocent. The wild changes them

>>4804326
>low effort slop pic
Because not all animals are like that. We have instances of wild animals forming lifetime bonds with people even in situations as stressful as wartime. It’s just not that simple. Also see >>4804465

THE GREAT CHAMY THREAD

So i want to get into chamelons and im wondering about encloseres as i live in a wery cold and arid area of the world i wont be able to keep it in a screen enclosure. so im planing to keep it in a enclosure from this company :
>https://terrariebyggarna.com/colle<wbr>ctions/terrarium-extra-hog
and acording to chamelon academy it should be "fine" but im still wondering if any people here on /an/ have had succes keeping chamelons in a non screen enclosure?

>>4804446
TL;DR it may not be worth the effort

Bacteria flourish in a warm, humid environment with low air flow. Chameleons are delicate little fucks even in ideal circumstances so they REALLY need that airflow to keep their wet, hot enclosures (and then their bodies) from becoming bacterial incubators, which means screen enclosures and probably whole room humidifiers to get the air flowing into the enclosure higher than ambient before the enclosure's humidification bumps it up to a regular amount, all for an EXCEPTIONALLY fragile animal that even in the best of circumstances may end up getting sick and dying from something else anyway because they just DO THAT sometimes.

>>4804797
This. When I was a kid I used to fantasize about owning one of these all the time. Now that I’m older I know I was over my head and it would have been dead within a week tops. Cool as they may be they’re quite the time sink and not really worth it in my opinion

>>4804797
>>4804915
Not OP, but, curious about if using a terrarium that is perfectly sealed and has constantly running electricity for the right conditions could solve that.

>>4805052
chameleons still require oxygen to live, so you're back to the giant petri dish thing unless you're working with medical grade HEPA filters and shit, and even then you need to access the inside of the enclosure to do maintenance and clean up shit.


>haha look I'm herding the cat! This is my purpose!

Border Collies are very autistic and need to go extinct.

>>4803843
let me guess, you love pitbulls.

>>4803843
Do all border collies have this herding behavior or does it have to be taught?
How do you even develop that kind of instinct/behavior through breeding? Is it like some mutated hunting behavior, where the border collies will instinctually stalk their prey but not go for the kill?

>>4803863
Way back when Ugg was starting to domesticate wolves in Eurasia, they found it was super easy to hunt deer if they had a 'dog' that would herd the deer toward Ugg's fellow man/into a trap/wherever they needed the deer to go. Then Ugg noticed that some her herding 'dog's puppies displayed a similar affiliation for herding prey rather than just killing it, she decided to keep breeding puppies specifically for that job for her tribe. And it just continued from there until we have dogs like this, where the herding instinct is so intrinsic to them that it's just baked into their DNA at this point, like humans and laughing.

Did your previous border collie hate thread get deleted? Why make a new one?

>>4803883
Got btfo in the general so bad she had to make another spam thread. That is always why these stupid threads are created.

>>4803863
The herd dog behavior is a suite of instinctual behaviors that the dog will learn to use more effectively if given the opportunity to practice. But they are all derived from hunting behaviors and the drive to use the herding behaviors is prey drive, full stop, so if the dog has no opportunity to herd but does have the opportunity to hunt, the dog will learn to use these behaviors to capture and kill other animals, and then it will often become a merciless exterminator of rabbits and squirrels and cats and shit. I knew an australian shepherd who would chase squirrels up trees, and by up trees, I mean that dog was 10 foot off the ground with a dead squirrel in its mouth on several occasions. She ended up killing a whole mess of cats too.

Herding dogs are smart, biddable, athletic, and affectionate, but they shouldn't be owned by people who don't have a job for them. Even if the "job" is just a half dozen backyard chickens or something, they need more stimulation than just a couple hours of frisbee and running. I knew a rough collie who ended up deciding his job was herding koi, and he'd fucking sort them by pattern too. It was amazing, but he was always soaking wet from climbing into the pond and his people hated it.

>>4803948
So if i want total cat death I need a boreder collie?

>>4803957
Most decent sized dogs with prey drive will kill cats if you don't socialize them to cats in order to prevent it.

>>4803957
Your putrid body odor and personality will do that all on its own don’t worry.

>>4803843
Why are you so angry? You posted the video

>>4803957
>>4803959
>my dog will kill your ca-ACK

Took my sister's in-law's collie for a walk last time I was at their house and I was surprised how temperant it was. We walked by a mother strolling her baby around on the way back; she stopped to give the kid a howdyado and didn't even consider mauling it once. Pic related, she didn't need a collar.

>>4805934
>she didn't need a collar
Which is to say she didn't need a leash*

>>4805865
Once again, a caraval is a ship. That is a caracal.

>>4805934
Actually a pretty nice scenery pic man

>>4805954
thats a fucking caraval
google it

>>4806074
caracals arent dotted like the pic

>>4803957
Not unless you want to have the Dogs drive the cats to you so you can kill them yourself. Border Collies aren't generally an aggressive species, they're herding animals not attack dogs.

>>4803863
>Is it like some mutated hunting behavior, where the border collies will instinctually stalk their prey but not go for the kill?
Yes.


What is that??

I treated it once against fungus gnats, and now this happened. <br>Why?

>>4804474
I farted on it sorry couldn’t help it

>>4804474
Suuuuucks. Sorry about your monstera, fren. Prolly lost that leaf.

At least they're fast growers. Good luck!


Where should I put this turtle at?

Found a turtle on my backporch. I'm not going to keep it as a pet, but would like to know where to actually put it. I'm not sure where it is going, perhaps trying to find some place to lay eggs, but it definitely does not need to be around my porch which other wild animals tend to congregate and explore at. I'm nearby a few creeks and a pond if that helps any.

>>4804408
you should only move turtles in directions they were already going as it's not good to completely relocate them. it likely has a small territory near by that it will return to. if it's a box turtle like in the photo you could feed it a little strawberry

>>4804414
I think it ended up on my porch by going up the handicap ramp on the north side. The problem is that the south side where it is currently at on the porch has a staircase, which is a bit too steep for the turtle to cross. Should I put it on the ground at the foot of the stairs then?

>>4804408
Just move it to your backyard. Relocating box turtles is never good because they have a really good sense of direction (using magnetism) and will start heading back, likely getting hit by a car as they cross roads.

>>4804414
>>4804420
>>4804421
Ended up just putting him in the grass past the porch staircase, he seemed to head towards the creek before I lost sight of him. Thanks guys.

>>4804408
>>4804698
Wholesome 100. Alls well that ends well. :)

>>4804408
Try picking it up and throwing it all the way into the pond LOL
Then watch it struggle to get out

Why the fuck is this board like this?

>>4804754
Because it's funny and palaeofags are insanely easy to trigger.

>>4804754
Quit the cope. People care about modern animals because they're alive and we know more than piss all about them from just bones. Get over yourself.

>>4804754
We LIKE small mundane animals. Entitled prehistoricfag seething is just icing on top. I don't hear plantfags bitching.

>>4804762
Pretty decent list ig. Just a bit bland is all. Chicken's got my vote though.

>>4804762
I want Bumblebee, Rat, Chicken, or Rhino Beetle to win.

>>4804767
I think it's a lot less bland than last year's.

confused anime girl with question marks.png

I still don’t get how we have less voters than last year

>>4804769
Sorry but I want King Cobra to win. I'm bias towards Snakes, and the King Cobra is a pretty cool snake.

>>4804775
It's arguably the coolest snake.

Voting chickens to spite that guy who posted gore

>>4804762
The ones I think would be good to take it all are Bumblebee, Anglerfish, Rat, King Cobra, or Tiger.

>>4804774
It's simple. No one actually cares.

>>4804777
I also think the King Cobras scales are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Idk why thought.

>>4804754
Really, people here are picking upon a selected group of contestants to shit upon. They don’t care weather its prehistoric, plant or something other, just as long as it is grouped onto something there is someone who wants to shit on that certain group.
I mean sure, you can have a solid reason to say that you prefer living animals over extinct ones but disrespecting the dead is not one of them. Your main will also go extinct, so will you. These bones we are making fun of have been living animals, sometimes the ancestors of the animals you guys are pushing towards winning.

>>4804775
All the animals here are cool, but I had my preferences.

Also something that's kinda funny about the King Cobra<br>It isn't even a real cobra. It's the only member of the Ophiophagus family, which means it isn't taxonomically a true cobra.

>>4804785
>he’s a faker
Voting chicken now

>>4804785
You made me have a brain fart.
What is and what isn’t a cobra then?

>>4804786
Actually, king cobra is the one species you can never call a fake because there's literally another species called "fake cobra" that is all about pretending to be it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False<wbr>_cobra

>>4804806
Sure but they could do a lot worse than that before they "evolved".

>>4804806
Yeah, I'm sure a chicken could totally peck a King Cobra to death.

Even the mightiest of bugs is no match for the mightiest of cats.

I was kinda hoping for tiger vs watermelon a couple of rounds ago, I think that would've been funny. I even saved a few pics of tigers eating melon (there's surprisingly a lot of those) so I think I'll post them now. It's not like there are any photos of tigers with rhino beetles anyway.

>>4804799
>>4804800
Leglet cope is strong today

>>4804817
I think I'd take being a legless king cobra over a legged chicken.

>>4804811
You thought otherwise? Sit your apodal ass down cobra kid.

Amazing !!! Mother Chicken protects the Chicks from King Cobra.webm

>>4804844
The cobra at the end turning around is what got me

It didn't peck the cobra to death thoughbeit. Also

>>4805251
Sounds like it's all in your head.

Less then 30 minutes remain. Overall thoughts on our Elite 8 this year?<br>Is it good, bad, middling? Could it have been better or worse?

>>4805736
Not nearly as good as last year, but last year was super stacked and everyone there would have been a great winner.

Less then 30 minutes left. Come on King Cobra, you can beat the Chicken.

>>4805736
They're all extant species and there's no plant or fungi reps but it's a pretty nice spread across the animal kingdom. Also chickens are in and I love chickens.
Not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it.

>>4805741
>there's no plant or fungi reps
RIP to the Oak Tree. Potentially could've had one of the coolest runs this year but got fucked yet again by singular digit differences

>>4805741
There will never be extinct animals or any sort of plant in the E8 ever again and you WILL be happy about that.

Nah, just the once.
Tigers are overrated, rhino beetles are cool.

Because it's about the little things man. If you can't find joy in the simple common animals then that's more telling of your mental need to feel different than it is of anything about us. There's a reason national animals are usually common shit like chickens, eagles, and bears.

Evolution of snakes

Picrel is a Bichir fish, these fuckers can travel on land, the connection is obvious.<br>Discuss, post fish

>>4804998
Snakes evolved from lizards. All land-dwelling vertebrates evolved from the same common fish ancestor.
There wasn't one separate fish ancestor just for snakes.

>>4805001
nah they evolved jaws to eat bigger things

>>4805017
What do you mean?
Snakes evolved from lizards. There wasn't one fish ancestor for snakes and a different fish ancestor for lizards...

>>4805021
yes there was, snakes don't eat the same way lizards do, they eat like fish, just 'GLOB', same goes for crocodiles.
>then what was it
OPic

>>4804998
> these fuckers can travel on land
Evidence?

>>4805022
>he doesn't know about the dragon videos

>>4805022
Yes, snakes and lizards eat the same way. You have clearly never seen a lizard eat a rat or a goat or an eel.
And what do you mean that snakes just "GLOB"? Do you mean that they just swallow their prey in one gulp? That is not true. Snakes often take a very long time to swallow their prey.
Crocodiles eat horses and cattle and people. Do you really think they just swallow them hole in one gulp?
YouTube is your friend here. Just search "snake eating", "lizard eating" and "crocodile eating".

Crocodiles swallow prey whole if it's suitable, otherwise they break up prey by thrashing it around or twisting off pieces.

>>4805021
I enjoy the casual cruelty of the elephant people.

Why are channa called snakeheads instead of bichirs and ropefish? They look ten times more like snake heads than any channa species

>>4805022
You are a dumbass, the pharyngal jaws of fish become other structures of the throat and skull in tetrapods. Snakes and fish have widely different jaws mechanically

>>4805131
Or a snake eat anything at all, because theres a fair amount of mechanics involved in their skull.

Been volunteering at a dog shelter for the past few months.

It's simultaneously fulfilling, rewarding and pretty nice.
But pretty depressing.
Puppies and small dogs come and go.
But if they grow taller than someone's knees, they stay there forever.
Nobody wants a big dog.
We cannot take surrenders because there's just so many strays filling the place.
Absolute lack of people coming to help
To even just spend time with some dogs.
We're three people right now with 70 dogs at the shelter.
There's not enough time in the day to both clean and tend to them while spending enough time socializing them.
It's rough out there for the big poochies, anons.

>>4804830
What even is the solution for the dog overpopulation problem? Are people just not spaying/neutering them enough? Should we start killing strays/ferals? It’s sad that the situation is like this

>>4804884
>Are people just not spaying/neutering them enough
This and people just want to breed puppies to sell
They don't sell so they jump dump them
We're a no-kill shelter and don't get funding from the local government because they only fund kill shelters.
We require every adopted dog to be neutered and spayed.
These puppies are energetic though and mob you in a pack. So they're likely going to be here for a while too.

Imma be honest, it really should've been Anomalocaris.

>>4805822
I'm going with Rat, but sell me on Rhino Beetle or Chicken.

>>4805831
>look awesome
>can bench more than any other contestant, relatively speaking (hundreds of times their own body weight)
>use their horns to joust each other like the knights of the insect world
>distantly related to scarabs (dung beetles)
>are harmless herbivores feeding on fruit and sap despite their intimidating appearance

This might sound cheesy, but I think rats are really grate.

>>4805838
Oh yeah, their fights for dominance usually happen on tree branches and the loser gets flung all the way to the ground.

Chickens actually originated in jungles, I just think that's neat.

>>4805842
>actually originated in jungles
Hasn't everyone?

You wouldn't let a big black cock win the competition, would you /an/?

>>4805834
>>4805838
Beetle!

Relax, bro. It's just a tournament. Take it cheesy.

/an/ons, what do you think the finals will most likely be?

>>4805854
I feel like it's going to be Bee vs Chicken

The bees are the sleeper pick, they've said next to nothing in this general yet they completely stomped the anglerfish last round. Can't believe tweaking bees would be the dark horse of this competition.

>>4805877
These things are responsible for a lot of my childhood trauma

sweet lil bumble bee I know I will vote for thee >doo be doo be doo da da

>>4805822
I can literally squish all of the semi-finalists

>>4805900
>you can squish a chicken
Ok fatass

I like all of the except rat. I don’t how it has gotten this far.

>>4805911
Yeah, rats are fucking pests. The rest are pretty cool though

>>4805829
I agree. Really surprised it loss after so much attention on it.

>>4805911
>>4805917
These posts discheese me.

>>4805932
Your mom is boTh because she's so fat.

>>4805829
>>4805917
Both true
>>4805877
Can’t lie, they do look pretty unique and striking

Niggas call me The Bee cus I squash my nut in yo honey

Voted Bee because I did a term paper about them for my ecology university class.

I was assigned them randomly but fell in love with them throughout my research. It ended up being 10 pages long and I got a perfect score.

>>4805859
Nothing needs to be said, everyone loves bees and its one of those wordlessly understood emotions. Love the bee

>>4806326
>everyone loves bees
And yet they didn't win the first year

Sorry, but I like rats more. They're funny boys.

>>4806365
Domestic rats are cool, it’s the giant sewer rats that I don’t like

>>4806372
>>4806373
The hell happened here?

>>4806397
I called people with musophobia disgraces. I'm sorry.

>>4806400
Gee, I wonder why a animal that is known for caring diseases scares people.

>>4806400
Sorry doesn't cut it. Go chickens.

>>4806407
Actually he apologized while chicken supporters are continuously cocky so if it comes down to rat vs chicken I'm gonna vote for rat

>>4806400
It’s not a fear, just a dislike. They’re pests.

>>4806420
Only from the perspective of h*mans. Clearly, we need to get more animals to vote in this tournament.

>>4806351
>And yet they didn't win the first year
They've gotten some buzz since then.

>>4806420
I get not liking invasive rats, but what about pet rats? They are cute and smart.

>Only from the perspective of h*mans. Clearly, we need to get more animals to vote in this tournament.

>>4806443
Rats? The smartest tournament voters.

Rats? Starts with R
Riggers? Starts with R
Any questions?

>>4806447

They are the real rigchads.

Oh wow, even /an/ is having its own tourney. Anything interesting happen in these threads?

>>4806528
Someone posted their chicken named Bane. But that’s about it

>"You should outline your basedjaks more"

>>4806559
Clownfish don't even live in the same depths as anglerfish. Unless there are some species of the latter that inhabit coral reefs.

>>4806562
Maybe it's a finding nemo reference.

Less then 20 minutes!<br>Who're we voting for?

>>4806578
Rat and Rhino Beetle, they look like the more unique/underdog options

>>4806578
Rat and Rhino Beetle. I love rats and rhino beetles are cool.

I gouda good feeling about these results

You did choose the correct finals, right anons?

>>4806603

Jesus christ what happened to Tigerbros?

>>4806621
What would your preferred finale be?

>it's another flying animal vs dinosaur finale

>Inb4 the Chicken get's the crown before T.Rex

>>4806622
Tiger vs Anomalocaris or something

>>4806625
The Chicken will job at the last stretch just like its grandpa

>>4806623
Technically all of the finalists except bumblebee are dinosaurs

>>4806637
It's tough, I love eggs but chickens can also be dicks. Every bee that I've ever seen was really nice, so that's my deciding factor.

>>4806637
>>4806639
Yeah, I know people will give me shit for saying this, and maybe I don't truly like animals if I don't go crazy over something as mundane as bees and chickens, but I think there were like dozens of better options for the finale.

>>4806641
I'm going with Bee now. They can also be misunderstood.

Mr. Sir The Guymanbro

Sorry guys Computer broke, gonna go buy one at the local Dollar General. Poll will be ready in like 15 minutes

>The dog was highly valued in ancient Persia as they were considered part-wild, part-human, and part-divine, a gift from the gods.
>In the Zoroastrian creed the dog had been provided for human beings as a gift from Ahura Mazda, and the deity expected that gift to be well-cared for. Insulting a dog was thought to bring a divine reprimand because the person was presuming to elevate themselves over the dog without any good reason. Dogs, after all, did not insult humans and, in spite of all the good they provided, remained ever humble. Punishments for injuring a dog on purpose include beating with up to “seventy stripes” and, if one accidentally harmed another person's watchdog, herd dog, or hunting dog, one would have to pay for treatment and, further, compensate the owner if the dog was unable to perform its duties because of the injury.
>Infirm dogs were to be cared for with just as much diligence as those who were sound and productive. A mad dog was to be calmed and cured of its madness, and one which had lost its ability to scent was to be guided by collar and leash so that it would not venture off and, unable to detect a predator or some other danger, come to harm. Vendidad 13.6.39 makes clear that people are to take care of injured dogs, not only because it is the right thing to do but also in return for all the dog has done for them. The passage cites the supreme deity Ahura Mazda stating so.

>After the Arab conquest: Muhammad is said to have called for a mass cull of all dogs (deeming them unclean) but then softened his stance, after facing resistance, limiting the death penalty only to black dogs (associated with evil) and those with “four eyes”.
>The four-eyed dog, as noted earlier, was among the most central to the Persian vision of the afterlife as well as the ritual of the sagdid and so, clearly, this was an effort to undermine Persian culture in order to replace it with the vision of the conquerors.

>>After the Arab conquest: Muhammad is said to have called for a mass cull of all dogs (deeming them unclean) but then softened his stance, after facing resistance, limiting the death penalty only to black dogs (associated with evil) and those with “four eyes”.
Muhammed was already dead for a year when the Arabs started their invasion of Persia, which would take more than twenty years to complete.

>>4805147
He gave the order when he was alive, there were many Zoroastrians in Arabia as well. Then later it was applied to Persia as well after the conquest.

Ironically dog ownership is more difficult in Iran today than it is in the Arab world because the country is ran by Ulema schizos.
>the Iranian government periodically initiates crackdowns on walking dogs in public and dog ownership in general

>>4805147
yeah good thing people stopped following his words after he died

>>4805095
This is how catfags are. They pretend to be nice but once they obtain power, all they can think about is killing dogs.

>>4805195
>>4805296
90% sure frogs are of Ahriman and thus are supposed to be smooshed with your shoe.

>>4805152
>the Iranian government periodically initiates crackdowns on walking dogs in public and dog ownership in general
Guess they can’t really fuck dogs as effectively as goats and thus they fell out of favor…
4805170
Obsessed

>>4805095
Zoroastrians also had bizarre religious hateboners for cats, turtles and frogs and encouraged people to kill them, and they revered random shit like otters and hedgehogs together with dogs

They were honestly even more ooga booga than the muzzies when it came to opinions on animals, loving le heckin doggos doesn't change the fact that thinking turtles are satan is quite ridiculous in my eyes

>>4805095
so the muslim invasions were just a real life catfag vs dogfag war?

>>4805820
>revered random shit like otters
Clearly, they were on the right track…

Holy shit a panda, holy fuck what do i do??? IM GETTING MAULED HELP MEEEE

>>4806013
Are there any actual records of people being mauled by pandas?

>>4806013
It's a panda, lol. Just try to have sex with it and it'll run off.

>>4806013
Luckily for you, there are less than 2k left in the world, and the only free ones are in china
>>4806028
Yes, they are bears.
Look up man mauled by panda, one of the first results on images would be a guy who had his leg mutilated by a wild panda.

>>4806080
>they are bears.
I know but they have such a sanitized image of being le gentle giant and all the thought is still kind of crazy.

>OP sees a black bear
>just pulls down his pants and starts pissing on the floor

>>4806033
Truly the incels of bearkind.
Or would that be volcels?


What are you supposed to do if you find a half dead, unable to properly move, wet, small rat (very likely carrying diseases) in your garden?

>>4806059
Done.
Since it would have died anyway, I just decided to kill it with the shovel in a single clean hit.
I've even called a vet to make sure that was the proper approach.
May it rest in cheese.
Terrible way to start the weekend, I'm very sad for that small fella, I would have loved to nurse it back to health even if it was a dumb vermin.
I feel so sad...

>>4806070
>kill it with the shovel in a single clean hit.
this was a kindness, anon. think about it like this: you started off your weekend with mercy.

>>4806050
You post more cute memes in its honor
>>4806070
You did the right thing. Sad as it is it’s just not worth the risk to yourself.

I was bitten by this thing (a tenrec) the other day and their teeth are pretty strange and sharp. Love them though and she was very sweet.

>>4806014
Doesn’t exist here other than in bats

>>4806021
Yes they are and so are hedgehogs and other similar things (though hedgehogs and tenrecs are not related)

Animals and Language

Anonymous

Are animals easier to train under certain languages than others? I've seen it mentioned for dogs some, but I'm thinking in terms of any animals, seals, cetaceans, birds, etc. Are certain languages with how they're structured easier for animals to understand than others? What about sounds that appear?

Man, that would be crazy fun research to conduct.

>>4806115
nasa tried teaching dolphins english once
didn't really go anywhere despite the handjobs and LSD

>>4806136
>didn't really go anywhere despite the handjobs and LSD
i'm going to need you to elaborate on that

>>4806136
>>4806143
Pretty kookie mid 20th century "science".
Instead of targeting the communication gap they essentially just made them make noises that sound like english. Since the dolphins were isolated and in poor conditions, the main (female) trainer had to give them handies to keep them happy, and the guy in charge was an insane lsd addict who eventually took all the dolphins on the road high off their ass on lsd.

Custom invert enclosure

Has anyone here tried to make a custom invert enclosure before? <br> Pic related is something I just drew up for acrylic that I wanna try making.

>>4806111
Im kind of paranoid about trying this because I don’t want whatever I put in to get out

>>4806111
Can someone explain to a retard what an invert enclosure is? I tried googling and checking pictures but I can't seem to figure out the "invert" part.
