My favourite arachnids are good old Australian huntsman spiders of the family Sparassidae.

If I bring a cat home from the shelter and I want it to be an "outdoor" cat, how does the cat know it's my cat? What if it just leaves?
Picrel is what's happening to my lawn, this way at least it will be my cat.

If you TNR it, it may become more good with people without all the hormones going through it. Also try feeding it on your porch, and then just a few feet inside your door with it open. I had a feral cat, did both of these with no expectation of it ever even being an outdoor pet let alone an indoor cat. Fast forward a few years and he sleeps indoors and lets anyone pick him up. Super friendly.

In what sense? The fact that it is a youtube short or the assumption that it is gender miss-identification? In either case no one really cares unless you are anal about that one japanese study with the tiny population size that determined cats are all homosex or if you find the idea of people uploading animal vids like that to farm morbid curiosity clicks as deplorable.

Yes. Larger quantity of water can absorb small mistakes more easily before you kill your fish. For example it's harder to create a rapid temperature swing or ph swing in a larger quantity of water. Not that it's terribly hard to run a nano tank under 10g. If you are responsible and serious about researching you are unlikely to encounter serious issues related to your ignorance.
>>
>>4776555
Sand capped soil is fine if you want to do that. Use a filter. Sponge filters are fine. Stick to fish species within the general range of your tap water ph. While it is possible to create drastically different water chemistry in your tank to what you have coming out of your tank, this is a more complex endeavour that requires a lot more care. Most stuff commonly kept does just fine in the 6.5-8 range.

If the original cuckoo was barely able to feed their offspring yeah that sounds perfectly reasonable.
Instead of competing for a different food source that might already have a dominant predator, just let the dominant predator itself feed your offspring.

Effectively living off of two niches for free, letting you produce more eggs without worrying about getting more food.

Not really since humans have increased Horse and Elephant productivity, not diminished. All domesticated species have received a considerable boost in species numbers. It is symbiosis.
>>
>>4776580
Funny thing is that I read somewhere a cuckoo species was actually boosting the numbers of the crows it was parasiting. The call of the cuckoo stimulates the parents to look for more food making the crow chicks more likely to survive.

I saw an owl last night and their faces look very silly from the side, such a flat face
They look very fluffy as well, like they’re wearing fur coats, but I know that in reality the hard feather shaft means they wouldn’t be nearly as nice to pet as I’d wish

Overall, good thread, beautiful creatures

>>4776225
Owls are terrible to own. They are really dumb, are active at the wrong times (unless it's a diurnal owl, obvs), and their waste smells exceptionally bad compared to other birds.
>>4776234
The incredible softness is on the edge of the feather, not the top or bottom - so yeah pretty much as you say.

Bugs mostly. Grasshoppers, scorpions, beetles, centipedes, moths, and the occasional small rodent or lizard. They have even been known to rarely take small birds. Micro-owls like Elf and Pygmy Owls are typically super aggressive and able to take surprisingly large prey given their own size if necessary.
