>150 replies in half a daySomeone tell me if it’s worth reading it all
>>4781260Its mostly just 1 or two cat people who think you should leave a dog alone all day, never let them out to use the bathroom, or bathe them. And then just sensible people responding back.
Simply put, it's the best because it's the biggest.
>>4781076>you genetically inferior, asymmetrical faced, mentally defective, disease ridden, dysgenically inbred, terminally ill mutt, sọyfaced shit-lipped, downie, untermensch wastrel, malefactor drain on society.
>>4781218if that's the case, then i'm afraid your mother is actually the bestest animal of them all.

>>4780977>you cant discuss geology and fossils on /ck/ as examplecan't really discuss fossils here eiither
>>4780441I can post bears on /an/I post Jack Scalfani on /ck/
>>4781220Seems arbitrary.
>>4780650jej>>4781114yes but for entirely different reasons
Could life on earth exist without predators? I'm aware of possible population booms and food shortages resulting in death of some or most species if predators disappeared. Would that kill all species?
>>4779386Based ‘anty poster
>>4779176Are parasites and pathogens still around? The ecological chaos that would ensue (especially in places like the ocean) would be immense, but I could at least see parasitism playing an even bigger role in population dynamics once a new equilibrium forms.
Random Anon bumping 'cause I specifically wanna know more about this:>>4779183 >>4779386I've always really loved Dinosaurs, but have recently begun fascinated on how truly 'alien' the biosphere on Earth was before certain important organisms existed. Like, "how and why" things operated different in the absence of entire groups/families of organisms that are basically to what we consider 'Nature'.
>>4779412If I remember, there are some extremophile bacteria that feed entirely from aquatic volcanic runoff.That's probably the closest you will get.
>>4781197i like nipples too
Goats are the GOAT
>>4779545•———•
>>4779536Nice goats (and horse). Do the goats and horse interact with each other much?
>>4779536no prob, thanks nice goats and horse
>>4779861Around feed time I have seen my biggest female goat and the horse get “pushy” mostly everyone just exists. The horse and my Pyrenees interact more.

Scrunkly old mf looks like he's on his last life of the nine, I would pet him so hard
I recently got a healthy white duck pet and i called him "Breadwinner", AMA
>>4781002Cant tell much from this angle but he looks like a she.
>>4781002Really cool! I like a white good white duck. I found a next of duck eggs at my ranch and decided to incubate them, and we got 3 from like 12 eggs. These fuckers are so damn annoying. Lucky they are cute. I need to get a better waterer and bedding for them, and that will solve half the annoyance.
>>4781037Reversed image searched that shit. That's not OP's duck. >>47810439 dead ducks : (Guessing the nest was abandoned and/or Theymama Puddleduck was killed somehow, yeah? : (
>>4781065They were all quitters or infertile. One popped, so we candled after 2.5 weeks and were left with only 4 that still looked good. The ducks are around, but we were unsure of the age of the eggs. Duck eggs, and especially muscovy have particularly low hatch rates when artificially incubated, so we are happy with three.I'm that guy in the chicken thread that hatched out almost 300 chicks a couple weeks ago. These ducks are kind of jusy a bonus on top of those lol.
>>4781087I figured that's who you are, yeah. You post on /ck/ from time to time, too, iinm.
Any anteater chads here? What do you feed them? Any special needs?
>>4777034>no weird jointssouvlless
>>4761269Ahhh I love my state! Never updated species whitelists for the win!
>>4737736Nigga you literally can't own anything here. All (mammals, fish, lizard, insects) native animals are illegal in most states. It is only enforced if you make a scene though. Some peta retards or similar must've slid their anti animals in captivity rhetoric into the green ideology, because every normie believes that harvesting any wild animal from the wild to for husbandry makes you a selfish tiger king narcisist who is killing the environment, thus even random minnows being illegal to catch and keep in your fish tank.
>>4750285dogs can kill you, horses and cows can kill you. Moot point
>>4778848Those don't eat ants.
Pigeons are cute and beautiful and I love !
>>4778590This is a very cool photo >>4779837Cute story anon. Did you take a picture?
>>4751904You sound very pathetic
>>4780163they came back while i was doing the dishes, but i think i got too close for comfort and they ended up getting scared. i think i need to retrain myself how to behave around these creatures, i think the selfish bits of me override the intuition i might have with animals. i read that they will always need to warm up to me, and not the other way around, so i will try to not be so pushy next time and give them their due respect. i wouldn't want some weird stranger pushing their nose up while i'm eating either, but i was just so eager to make friends that i couldn't help but get a little too close.
>>4780201don't mind him, he is simply immature and doesn't know any better. abusive language will only affirm his narrow minded conclusions and close him up from any curiosity in trying to learn more.
>>4761053>>4761116>>4761118Update on rescued pigeon. A few days ago he recovered and flew back to his group. Today I saw him hanging out with his friends on a rooftop. Im so happy for him, saars.
Land Whale editionPrevious Thread >>4685883WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.RESOURCES:https://speculativeevolution.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Tutorial>One-stop shop for relevant background information for starting a projecthttp://planetfuraha.blogspot.com/>Fantastic blog covering all sorts of spec evo topics in-depthhttps://specevo.jcink.net/Comment too long.

>>4780533That requires a little outside context, when lovecraft was writing the luminiferous aether was still a thing taken seriously. Scientists thought space wasn't a vacuum but rather filled with a kind of matter that only interacted via light waves (might sound similar to modern theories of dark matter) and they thought this because wave particle duality hadn't been conceived of yet. There were also ideas going around at the time that different galaxies were essentially different universes with different physical laws and different kinds of matter. So what lovecraft was proposing here was that the elder things were made up of matter that could interact with the aether and thus they could swim through it like it was water. Easy to explain once you know of the historical scientific context.
>>4780515>>4780526>>4780533Like the other guy said I doubt he’d say that was his intention since they’re supposed to be aliens beyond our understanding but it is a neat design
>>4780636I wouldn't be so sure. I mean I guess you could say that spec only really became it's own genre with dougal dixon but there were plenty of antecedents like wells and the rhinogrades. When reading his writing it's clear that he was fascinated by the possibility of radial life becoming sapient.>They had not been even savages—for what indeed had they done? That awful awakening in the cold of an unknown epoch—perhaps an attack by the furry, frantically barking quadrupeds, and a dazed defence against them and the equally frantic white simians with the queer wrappings and paraphernalia . . . poor Lake, poor Gedney . . . and poor Old Ones! Scientists to the last—what had they done that we would not have done in their place? God, what intelligence and persistence! What a facing of the incredible, just as those carven kinsmen and forbears had faced things only a little less incredible! Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star-spawn—whatever they had been, they were men!I think if you can call the aliens and future humans of wells and the rhinogrades of steiner spec then you can count the elder things amongst them.
A Leedsichthys-sized predatory ray-finned fish, possible? A non-shark Megalodon, in other words.
Have any non-tetrapod fish ever developed a mobile neck? I'm struggling to come up with even a single example (unless you count eels, which is obviously chesting)>>4780938I don't see why not, just needs an environment without dolphins or sharks to outcompete something like tuna.
>>4727075Fucking hilarious film tbdesu, Four Lions. Asks the question "what if a group of islamic terrorist bombers were comedically inept" and plays it straight.
>>4767823I'd forgotten but you made me remember.
>>4778685You got socialisation-mogged by a crow
Today is my Birbs Birthday!I made him some Mice shaped cakes with mice filling.Garnished with white eggshells and on baby mice.There is enough for everyone, so I will give some of the cakes to the neighborhood crows. Ingredients for the dough are scrambled eggs with honey.
I love jackdaws so much
I hate lions. Overrated motherfuckers don’t deserve their reputation as King of the Beasts or King of the Jungle. They get mogged by so many herbivorous animals and even the lesser carnivores give them tons of shit. END THE LION HYPE.
