I moved to a house infested with ants. How to get rid of them?
Get an anteater.
everyone is going to have their own bullshit 'cure' or treatment (inevitably at least one person will make a borax post).You can't BEAT them, but what you can start doing is every time you see a trail, follow it to the gap/hole where they are entering from and pack that shit with silicone/caulk/plastiline. It may take a few dozen incursions on their part to give away all of their entrances but eventually your home will be ant-tight
>>4176592>>4176916>>4177716I tried this, now I have an anteater infestation. wat do?
>>4179437get rid of the anteaters with jaguars, obviously....
>>4177720Yeah that was my solution. There's no telling if you'll actually be able to find the main entrance the ants are using because it could be anywhere, but I got lucky and found out that practically all of the ants in my house were getting in and out through an improperly sealed hole in my electrical cabinet. I just slathered the thing in glue and bam no fucking ants.
What drove the evolution of primates to go from living among the trees, to quadrapedal locomotion, to bipedal locomotion, and would that evolution have an impact on intelligence?
>>4178417Humans did not evolve from primates, it was actually convergent evolution of primates to become more like humans
>>4179381What are you talking about?Orangutan build structures and use tools to get food. Not to mention they have a verbal language passed down from mother to children that changes over distance into regional dialects. That being said, a big driving factor that lead Hominids to be hominids is that they were from a jungle like monkeys and a shift in the local climate lead the forests to start thinning out into Savannah, which promotes popping up on your hind legs to look around for lions and predators. The ones who could stand up taller and longer went on to raise more lanklet moneys until pelvises started to turn and the opposable digit straitened out for better balance and locomotion. Then, with the hands free in this new bipedal gait they were free to make tools, and carry things. One of the important things you can carry is fire, which lets you make a camp every night for protection and cooking without needing the material to start fire from scratch. You just carry an ember in some moss and pine straw until you're ready to set up camp for the night. Then you use that ember to start a fire, and blamo. Then just take a hot coal the next morning, and the process continues. Another way to think of it is that the great apes remained in the environments they evolved into. Hominids are the descendants of the apes who left those environments, and had to adapt to a new niche. One that happened to break the meta.
>>4179420>What are you talking about?I guess intellectual evolution? Humans have developed and adapted so many new tools to complete tasks, and yet our primate kin seem to be stuck in a developmental rut.
>>4178654>allow for the advent of greater tool usage due to the ability to carry something in the handsThis was part of it too. It likely wasn't for any one specific purpose but a combination

So, which absolute RETARD decided to call this thing a killer whale when it's a fucking dolphin?
Dolphins are toothed whales
>>4179300>what retard calls this thing a dolphin when it's an orcaThat's what you sound like.

I'm going to post a platypus every day until all of /an/ wants a puggle to snuggle.Old thread>>>3953198
Why do they have such beady eyes.

What is your opinion on zoos? Do you think they should be banned?
>>4179446I'd rather have tigers around than you desu.
>>4178121I imagine it's much better living like a NEET in a zoo, rather than being extinct. Or shot, ground up, then snorted by a French man with ED.
>>4179446>they serve no ecological purposeThey help lower the Pajeet population.
>>4179468Not if they're in a cage
>>4179446They can't be reintroduced because subhumans keep poaching them
Hello fellow anons. This sorta shrub in front of my window started forming some sorta fruits. I have no idea what it could be, my best guess is mirabelle plum or Prunus domestica subsp. insititia. Kinda confused since it grows really fast (chopped some branches since it was blocking the sunlight). It is so far not thick enough for a tree. It had small white blossoms, roughly same as plum trees. The photo was taken two days ago, Prague, Czechia. Any ideas? Thanks!
It's a plum tree. Mine is starting to produce fruits too and they're in the exact same growth stage
>>4179462Rape berries. Lock your doors and don't go outside alone at night for the next few weeks.
Also, fruit trees are often coppiced so that the fruits are more reachable and the branches easier to manage. Your plum's trunk was likely cut in the past, so it now grows as a shrub.
Yep. It was cut like 2 years ago and I cut some branches to get some sunlight. I guess I will wait and see what kinda plum it is. Thanks a lot!
Aardvarks are notably underrated animals. >ITT: share Aard-facts, Aard-info, Aard-pics, Aard-jokes, Aard-anecdotes, and Aard-awesomenessOther acceptable avenues of discourse: >"Why is this kind of animal so underrated?">"Why, even though Crocodiles are the best animal, are Aardvarks a good animal? And also Hyenas are awesome.
>>4177518they look like an armadillo without the armor
Aardvarks are neat
I don’t see how you get Arthur from that.
>>4179400modern arthur doesn't look nothing at all like the original arthur, it has changed a lot through the years
>>4177518How can aardvark be underrated when he has his own TV show?
Any one have any theories or papers on the subject?
I'm not sure if anyone has a concrete explanation for this. The trouble is that basal synapsids look very similar to basal diapsids, which means it's hard to say exactly why synapsids diversified and became larger first.It's possible that heterodont teeth (specifically the presence of canine-like teeth) helped early Permian synapsids become more efficient carnivores, which may have given them a head start in body size compared to their diapsid prey. A lot of early synapsids are carnivores compared to the early dispaids which tend to be herbivores or insectivores.From there, the Permian climate may have favored synapsids with their sails and later fur which helped them maintain a constant body temperature in the seasonal deserts.Don't forget that some diapsids did fill megafauna niches in the Permian. Scutosaurus rivaled the largest Gorgonopsids in size and was probably the most common large herbivore of its time. But overall yeah, synapsids were more dominant and it's tough to say exactly why.

What do people think about hunting wild rabbits suffering from Myxomatosis? Is it merciful or should we try to treat them?

>>4178727I'm pretty sure this is in the city I live in, and if it is this is a big park where lots of people come and go everyday, so those capybaras are chill as fuck, because they are super used to people around.The other place here you can find them easily is in one of the universities, and you cannot fuck around with those because they live in a very closed off wild area.
