What do we think about the Great Shark Coverup theory?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9q6jVAY_EA

TL;DW shark fatalities per year are vastly underestimated and the total is closer to 100-400 deaths per year. A mix of tourism boards and shark apologists fudge the numbers for profit-seeking and misguided ideological reasons (Jaws guilt). Perhaps not a true conspiracy but a convenient convergence of interests. The ocean is a jungle infested with gigantic predators and the risks, while small, are still much larger than what people will tell you, especially the 'sea puppies" crowd that insists they are just misunderstood.

What is the verdict on this theory?

Is there a better way to protect the ecosystem than culling the human population by the billions?

Favorite cryptids? I'm pretty fond of this guy

Anyone know what animal this came from? It was found in mid-eastern Texas.
I've already ruled out black bear, coyote, mountain lion, boar, bobcat, and can't think of any other predators in the area that would have a skull this size. Two more photos incoming.

What are these trees?

Post animal memes
I made pic related after I saw my retarded cat enter the laundry room then scare himself because of it

Why did they do this to him?

Of all of the species of butterflies and moths, which one would you say is the most beautiful, /an/?

I'm casting my vote for the Madagascar sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus).

ITT: we design new dog breeds

I designed a dog to protect beehives from honey thieves and wild beasts

I'm personally digging this, we barely get any good cenozoic content, and based on the previous two seasons of this it'll be a fun watch. Also:

FUUUUUCK YEEEAAAAH DUDES!!!!

Did you notice that animals and humans can't be friends, according to PETA? ANother psyop? There can be no circuses with animals (some weren't abusive), there can't be zoos, seaworlds, travelling to Africa is becoming even worse or to Asia to see exotic animals?

I think Pallas cats are neat

If you could bring back extinct animals with time travel, which would you bring back?
I would bring back Thylacosmilus. I like its weirdly shaped lower jaw.
>In b4 "What about T. rex?
I'd rather bring back animals that only REALLY nerdy people care about.

What should we do on our last day together?

Why don't we fat shame animals?

A preserved head of a dodo with its flesh still intact. So sad.

Monkey hate, snake hate, and even insect/spider hate is a sign of low IQ because it shows that you are unable to override your base instincts with rational thought.

Tell us, friends, what are your thoughts on the Orange People and their delightful facial features?

Why does nobody ever hype up the Golden Eagle while we hype up apex predator animals like the Tiger?

>perfectly stealthy, top speeds can fly around as fast as a bullet, can see and detect prey miles with its telescopic vision and has reflexes while flying that can make it able to swiftly dodge through tons of small openings in impossibly dense forestry at over 100mph.

>4 foot tall heavy af behemoth with razor sharp claws that are as big as the average human male dick size

>literally hunts and carries away prey as big as wolves and mountain lions

What are these appendages I've circled? I'm about 90% certain it is Parson's spider and I'm in the Midwest where they live but I'm just confused what these appendages on the back are.

I think this is a pregnant female because I saw a much smaller spider I struggled to identify a few months earlier that I eventually determined was a Parsons spider and I let it live. And this one matches up with it but much bigger which is likely because my home has insects to eat and we Never kill spiders bros.

Yes I let my small dog sleep under the blanket with me. No it's not weird. She is fluffy and warm and very huggable.

Do you like bats?

So I just got two kittens, a brother and sister who have acclimated well to my home but I want to make things as safe and enjoyable as possible. I have a lot of rooms I've been trying to make kitten proof so they can navigate generally freely. What may be some good things I can do, buy to help with this. Also fine for any generally recommended things for them outside all the essentials which I have.

>little to no survival instincts
>hoard all their food, never eat it
>need a giant cage despite being 2 inches big or they sink into depression
>can die from shock if you cough near them
>eat their own young
>brain the size of a tic tac
>shaped like a fat fluffy ball
>only advantage is that it's cute
Why are these creatures so retarded?

Why do some pet owners let their pets run freely outdoors and then get surprised when it gets killed by wild animals or in traffic?

Can the average adult male defeat one, of would you die of blood loss? They don't look that big in person, but I am sure slashes with it's nails would do damage.

"don't talk to me or my daughter ever again" edition

Found a juvenile widow in my charcoal chimney. She's still got the gold stripe down her back. I'll have to get her set up with a bigger enclosure soon but I think she's okay in the sling box for now. Also think the middle widow is working on some eggs, it's been a week or so since she ate and she's still looking thicc.

>armadillos expanding their range naturally
>several states have them listed as invasive species
Why are "conservationists" so retarded? What exactly are they trying to conserve?

new 'mal is out

Sorry I've been MIA it's been kind of a rough patch for me, but I'm going to try and get back at it and post a platypus every day until all of an wants a puggle to snuggle

Why are some species more athletic than others?
