I'm posting a frog general since the other thread mentionning frogs is too specific and not about frogs in general and some frog content related to frogs including frog images, frog music, frog statements, frog related ideas and concepts are welcome and anymost frogly things. Other amphibians are welcome.
Please post frog content, frog accessories and accessories to frogs. Here's an italo-disco song I like that's named frogs in spain, its got frogs, the lyrics talk about frogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOELdPeqrCI

The sexes differ in what their intelligence is specialized in. Women have higher verbal intelligence relative to males and males have higher spatial intelligence relative to women. That diagram he posted is consistent with that. If you wanna screech about incels then go back to r*ddit.

Just look up Piaget Water-Level Task. This has been studied many times, often with attempts to raise the success rate of women, which all fail to varying degrees. Women are just not good at this and we don't know exactly why.

The caption literally has a source printed. Halpern, 2012. Here is a link to one study (not Halpern) since you're an insufferable source whore:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1996.tb00321.x
Yes, it's paywalled. Read the abstract and deal with it.

it's not like pterosaurs were always bigger than birds.
Were they just more poorly adapted to living?

>>4471479
Why are you showing an image of pterosaurs that have been extinct for between 60 and 70 million years prior to the K-Pg event? The rise of the enantiornithean birds likely put the Anurognathids in a very vulnerable position and was probably a factor in why they went extinct. Other small pterosaurs lasted longer, but by the end of the Cretaceous they basically didn't exist. Birds were just better at the small niches than pterosaurs.
>>
>>4471479
I woud like to ask the same question about marine reptiles, why does crocodiles and sea turtles survived but not mosasaurs and plesiosaurs? Why would they go extinct exactly at the same time as dinosaurs? Some of them must have survived until the Paleogene.
>>
>>4471479
Luck of the draw, very few birds survived as well. Being able to better regulate body heat probably gave the surviving birds an edge though.

>>4472558
Crocodiles can survive for a very long time without food and can scavenge rotting meat.
>>
>>4472558
Mosasaurs were apex predators which are always the hardest hit in extinction events because of food web collapses. In particular it seems that many Mosasaurs preyed upon ammonites which went completely extinct during the KPG extinction event. Crocodilians can exploit multiple food sources and go long periods of time without eating, and sea turtles are also less picky eaters than mosasaur and plesiosaurs were so they managed to survive. That being said though, there are still many group of crocodilians and turtles, as well as mammals, went extinct at the same time.
>>
>>4471762
Yes. There was essentially 5 years of winter after Chixulub. The birds who specialized on insects were toothed birds and they all went extinct, as did the small pterosaurs.

There is an almost complete floral turnover at the K/T boundary, basically every plant living the day before chixulub, across the entire planet, was dead by the time the dust cloud settled. The forests that didn’t burn rotted.
>>4471804
Many did, but being burrowers, they also had access to roots and such. In places, there was also a surfeit of carrion, but obviously it’s hard to make that stretch for a time span of years. The animals that survived were ones that could hibernate or estivate and the ones that could eat durable foods that were available in sufficient supply to last for years.

i have parson terrier at the same age and hes kinda like that, but he sleeps most of the time, i can get him to do stuff, i have to initiate before he will come over. but you obviously need to to do some positive reinforcement, like calling his name and scratch him, do it enough times, he will come over if he wants to get scratched
