Does diarrhea count as manure for fertilizer for crops?
A section of wall fell down near my house, exposing the soil beneath in beautiful cross-section.

Cool ant holes, thanks for sharing. Ants are cool.The tubes look way small, no way a mole could fit in that as far as I can see. They look a millimeters wide.
>>3166992intersting pictures! thanks for posting!
Do ants tunnel in a way that cave ins wouldnt happen when walked on from above?
>>3166992pretty cool>>3167027it's probably thisbuy an elephant gun OP you're gonna need it
Do cats have long term memories?This is my cat's mum, she lives with my grandma, will she remember my cat as her son and vice versa?
I think so, when my dog died my cat used to go to a big picture I have of her and sometimes cry at the beginning, of course he eventually stopped but he would still go sit next to her picture at least once a day
>>3168056>Do cats have long term memories?yes.>>3168071Falso:'(
Can beetles eat cheese?
>>3167367Read the thread.
>>3166153broadly no. some can tho, like dermestid beetles.most eat plants or other bugs.
>>3166162this>>3166181dung beetles are really common. we had small ones in texas, like a half inch long
>>3166188>>3166194that is fukken cool
>>3166194out of curiosity, does it pick them up in its mandibles or roll them off like a pebble?
I've come upon an abundance of dogwood fruit. I've been enjoying nibbling on them but they're mealy and unremarkable. Is there any good recipie I can use to make something tasty out of a quantity of them?
>>3166392lol dog COCK
>>3166392juice them. you can add sugar and simmer them down into jam. >>3166445>red rocket
>>3166392Cornus canadensis (bunchberries, known as dogwoods) arewhat species is that?
>>3166392>>3168063that really doesn't look like any kind of dogwood I can find OPis it some asian introduced kind?where approximately do you live?
>>3168063>>3168064found it>Cornus kousa>The fruit is a globose pink to red compound berry 2–3 cm in diameter, though these berries tend to grow larger towards the end of the season and some berry clusters that do not fall from the tree exceed 4 cm. It is edible, a sweet and delicious addition to the tree's ornamental value. The fruit is sometimes used for making wine.[8]so it's not listed in my edibles book becaus asian...but whatever. I'd do the juice thing, or just let them ripen a bit more. that'll take out any mealyness, and my also fix the "unremarkableness"wait until they just barely start to get deep darker red spots on them that are a tad soft. that's peak ripeness. if they still aren't ripe, let them get wholly dark and soft but not fermenting.
Can /an/ identify this cute snek I found?I don't wtf is going on with that tail, my guess is he lost it and it's growing back
>>3167499>>3167518France. From what I managed to find on google, I think it's a couleuvre, or grass-snake. more specifically a couleuvre d'Esculape. Not venomous. It's hard to see on my pics but it seems to have a black spot behind the eyes, like pic related. Also, internet says this species just freezes when in danged, and indeed when I found it I could just pick it up and it didn't even flinch. It started moving after a while.
Another shot of the weird ass tail
>>3167837I agree, it's most likely a juvenile coulevre d'Esculape (Zamenis longissimus). Its tail is sure weird, though.
>>3167420>>3167422>>3167423normal tail in some species. snakes don't regrow them like some lizards and salamanders. no idea what species. looks related to a garter snake.
>>3167844>Its tail is sure weird, though.>>3168054might be a birth defect. very common.
I kill bugs around I see around my house without thinking or hesitation. I guess it's instinct, but how do I break the habit? I feel guilty afterwards, and they aren't all bad.
>>3167293yea man , like trees , fuck the tress to , or jelly fish , fish in general... or corals , most marine life. fuck it just kill em all they don't rly matter. u could do special ppl too if you want extra points. homless as well..
>>3167293or u could just not leave food around your house so that they're literally left without incentive to wander around. i may have "unreasonable empathy" because i sometimes take mosquitoes outside.
>>3167826The amount of bugs anon kills by physically stomping them is really insignificant and causes little biological harm, meanwhile chopping down thousands of trees causes significant damage to the entire planet. Jelly fish are a literal pest though, fuck jelly fish.
>>3168028>Jelly fish are a literal pestYou don't know what "pest" means
>>3165718>how do I break the habit?be constantly mindful that it's a living thing?typically adults aren't that impulsive. you may have a neurological or psychological disorder.
It must be terrifying to be an insect. Every moment of your life is lived in fear. You can't even safely walk two steps without risking running into an invisible web and being cocooned in 10 seconds and suffocating to death. Not to mention 99.9% of other animals are bigger than you and nearly all of them are trying to eat you. Fish will eat you if you get near the water, reptiles will eat you, birds love to eat you. And since everything is larger at any given second it could just be an instantaneous lights out when you get stepped on.Let's appreciate our bugbros and how hard a life they have.
>>3167960>Every moment of your life is lived in fear.stop anthropomorphising biological robots
>going through the motions every day>autopilot knowledge of function in life>no fear, pain, or complex thoughts to cause sufferingLucky class.
>>3167960Thank you for soldiering on, bugbros.
>>3167960Yet they are more successful than humans and once we're gone they will still be around
Being a tiny bird or rodent is worse since theres at least possibility of some kind of awareness
and the cat is trying to sleep on the track pad or literal keyboard
Let the kot sleep, he's had a hard day.
>>3166089Just move it away from it
>>3167984>Just move it away from itpssh. Like that's allowed.
fuck off toxo fags
>>3166089Kill yourself brain damaged toxofaggot. You are literally mentally unstable.

Do color variations exist in wild animals? I don't mean like albinism or melanism or changing coats for the winter, I mean color variation in the same subspecie like you see in every domesticated animals like pic related from the goat, pigeon, cats etc
>>3166890I don't think so, for example if you look at a pandemonium of wild budgies all of them will be green.
>>3166890wolves seem to come in many shades
>>3166890Yes but it's usually more subtle. Like some toads have different wart patterns on their snout which is how you can tell specific individuals apart.
yeah, natural phenotypic variations in color exist. it's a continuous trait, there are slight variations here and there, especially if you're counting sexual dimorphisms
>>3166890Usually there is a uniform colour variation that is of the greatest general benefit. There are differences due to genetics but any major deviation will most likely be detrimental.More extreme colour variations can come up occasionally, for example with species with complex camouflage patterns. As a particular pattern becomes common, it's predators will adapt and start paying more attention to it. Less common camouflage patterns will therefore be selected since they are under less pressure from predation.
dog got into the sour cream again
My bird fucked my hand, are we married now?
>>3166947Stallman?

>>3166947>tfw boywife to my bird for three years nowIt's not worth it, OP.Divorce him, NOW
What im doing wrong? Her petals keep getting darker and i cut them when that happens but i don't know why that keeps happening, im overwatering her?
How do you not cry when you go to get your pet put to sleep?
When you know it's for the best
>>3167455nothing wrong with crying at a moment like this. Remember it's for the best and all the happy times you had.
>>3167777why work at something that's an evolutionary disadvantage?not only does research indicate that testosterone inhibits crying, but that women prefer uncaring men with high testosterone when they're ovulating, and emotionally available men with lower testosterone during the rest of their cycle.meaning women prefer to have children with uncaring Chads and then trick kindly cucks into raising them.in reality women constantly bitch about how men are assholes while unconsciously being the reason we are.
>>3167496don't do the car thing, just get a script for your drug of choice from the doc since life doesn't matter anymore and go out like a junkie
>>3167455I did. The vet found a big, cancerous growth on my cat's liver and she had to be put down. I had her for over ten years. I cried all the way home.
