Can we have an echinoderm thread please? They are an underrated groupEchinoderms consist of sea urchins, sea lillies, starfish, sea cucumbers, and brittle stars

Growing up for a brief few years in Virginia, my family lived in a house near an artificial retaining pond where ducks and geese would land. When they would land, my sister and I would go out and throw crusty old bread to them. For a few years we were host of a particularly sociable mated pair of mallards who would visit year after year, even though the house was newly-built. My father once or twice lured them through the back door into the kitchen, where we briefly fed them crust before they had filled their feathery bellies and returned to the waterside to roost for the evening. We named them Waddles and Queenie.
>>4676039There was a tall steel tower for power transmission lines, may 100ft, built just a little way away from the pond. A pair of ospreys nested on top.
>>4676043Found a decapitated goose in the pond across the street on the undeveloped side of the neighborhood, near the thick woods. Birds, mane.

Dogs can survive on a natural vegan diet.Cats can not.Therefore, for moral reasons, cats need to be sterilized as a species and allowed to die out (on vegan food) and only dogs should remain.

Tell me about Hyenas. Why are they always laughing?
>>4673642Pseudopenis
>>4673642No one cared who they were until they began to laugh.
>>4673642Sneaky ass rat Jews. Laughing because a smile makes you lose your focus, also because nog pack animals, just ask the average London representative about his happiness level when he gets to gang harass some grandma doing groceries.
>>4673642They have the stereotypical wide-mouthed smile of an African perfomative drummer

Why do so many predators have them? What benefit does this specific eye color confer?
>>4675221I only know birds, so I can't comment on that (except that I don't believe it)>>4675262What are you talking about no ears? Their facial disc is a giant parabolic dish to funnel sounds to their ear canals located behind their eyes. Short-eared and Barn owls hunt almost exclusively by sound.
>>4674866I don't know but I'm glad humans don't have yellow eyes, annoying insecure men won't be able to compare themselves to predators like they're always doing.
why do black cats always have yellow eyes, is it because they are superior?
Dunno, the hypothesis that they being better for night vision does not make much sense to me, and during day might actually lower contrast due the light that is reflected from the iris. Anyone who has worked with optical systems wants most not optical surfaces to be as little reflective as possible because high reflectivity and scattering lowers signal to noise ratio in detectors and contrast on imaging systems. Maybe it has no significant function, bears and many other predators have dark eyes.

This goes entirely against the vegan motive of not using animals for experimental or other non ethical reasons >teehee the vegan slop has all the minerals from meat artificially added so it's the sameIt's not just the minerals it's their entire digestive system Why not be a rabbit owner instead jfc
>>4672855>You wouldn't believe how many cats end up at the vet because their owner tried exclusively feeding them this slop.How many? Citations,please.
only humans are allowed to be vegan.
>>4676406only humans are stupid enough to be vegan
>>4671857It is okay as a treat, but a diet solely focused on veganism is similar to a diet mainly focused on Tom Cat kibble, which is mostly 80% wheat and corn with meat byproduct and dye. The main issue with cats and other obligate Carnivores is the issue of Taurine; which is derived specifically from meat based proteins. Cats need it to survive, denying them this is like denying you electrolytes. It is a painful way to die and I sure hope you are not killing your animals to reinforce your own belief systems. If you want an animal that doesn't need a regular diet of meat, then might I suggest a hamster, or a bird, a rat or a rabbit? >but I want my foofy fuzzy cuddle buddyConsider a sheep/goat >UGH, those are FARM animals, and I wouldn't go NEAR a rural area because they vote RED.

Just picked 15 bird mites off my belly. I’m in hell
>The mynas (/ˈmaJnə/; also spelled mynah) are a group of birds in the starling family (Sturnidae). This is a group of passerine birds which are native to southern Asia, especially India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.Bloody bitch bastard, sir!
>>4676710make a bird mite ball to rival tick ball anon
>>4676894Well of course it’s the indian birds bringing over pestilence to where I live
>>4676710thirdie problems are something else. KWAB
>>4676710All of your problems would be solved if you stopped being Asian.
Roly polies. Pillbugs, even.
>>4673490It's not about legality. Some species just don't do well outside of their native environment.
>>4667853-ACK!
I see Roly polies in my bathroom a lot, sometimes I let them outside sometimes I just kill them because it was so constant. But I haven't seen them lately after spraying some raid.
>>4675966You should probably solve the humidity problem in your bathroom instead of spraying poison and risking your health.
Basically my dog eats my cats shit from the litter box but honestly I’m hesitant to stop her because it’s literally a free scooping service.. also my cat hates when there’s poo in there but she’s more ok with pee, also it smells so my dog immediately eliminates the smellThe bad part is that it’s weird af and also it makes me grossed out to touch or hug her after and her mouth may smell for a whileWhy do dogs eat shit.. it kinda weird me out she is really weird Also she does not eat her own shit just my cats
Your house smells like disgusting catfaggot house and your dog's primitive retard dog brain is worried the stench will attract predators

Do animals raised in captivity ever upset the odds and thrive in the wild?
>>4676976Whenever some hippie released mink from a mink farm they'd thrive just fine, problem was nothing else did because they wiped out everything small enough to hunt, collapsing the local eco system completely.

Hasn't seemed to work for me
Why do they lie?

lying about pit-bulls just exacerbates the problem, why is everything and everyone so stupid?

>They had feathers>"No they didn't, that's stupid. We haven't found evidence of them having feathers.">picrel>"Ok ok but they were short and stumpy feathers, like quills, basically hair.. proto-feathers.">microraptor fossil>"Ok ok but that's just a one of a kind example of modern feathers.">How did they thermoregulate?>"They sunbathed like a lizard"They don't want to say it, they will never say it; even when we clone a T-rex and it looks like a retarded ostrich pibble creature, they'll say "Maybe we did it wrong..". These things survived in arctic climates and you expect me to believe they just sunbathed through it?I don't care that much, but still it's stupid. Jurassic park & godzilla ruined an entire generation of paleontologists.
Looks like the Crumb album

>>4674908I agree with you except on the crocodile armor part, dinosaur scales look nothing like that, they look more like the texture of a basket ball
