So cute. >>5908915
All those balls and its killer instinct lets it catch the only mouse. Impressive even if coincidental. >>5909733
I hear they are stinky, like sweaty moldy musk everywhere. I admit to enjoying the smell of fresh skunk spray on the wind or a dead skunk on the side of the road; so know I am not opposed to people enjoying them as companions.

When they film some of these creatures, it looks like they are illuminating them with artificial lighting. In that darkness it would be like lighting a beacon. Don't predators take advantage of that for an easy meal?

Reminds me of that clip of people filming an octopus fighting a crab at night. A seal comes in and eats the octopus, likely because the camera lights attracted it.

A childhood ex had like 4 of them in her bedroom. It smells like petting zoo. And public toilet. They smell like piss so fucking bad hurts the eyes

Lyre bird mimics everything. If zoo revenues get too low, they could have companies pay them to let them train the birds to quote ad slogans.

How do you manage to make a tailless whip scorpion attack you?
Those things are super chill and would rather run from anything larger than their chelicerae.

I don't really understand what's happening here. He's thwapping the claw/forearm I can see (the pincer is broken in one shot), but somehow that force transmits down the arm and tears it off at the shoulder joint? And not just once but every time. How?

Many species of crabs have the ability for autotomy.
I would rather link the article: autotomy in the crab. by e. a. andrews.
But I only have the PDF and cant find a linkable version.
This should tell you at least that ur wrong and stupid though which will probably be good enough and you can look that paper up urself if you wanna learn more. https://www.bluecrab.info/autotomy.html

My sister got an african grey parrot the same time she had her son, the thing learned to mimic the little guy. Wigged me out to hear a disembodied child's laughter echoing through a house when you know he's not there. They crying just sucked.

There was a time when comics, cartoons and stories talked about "dog buried his (item) in the yard!" They used to dig a hole, place their superfluous possessions for safekeeping/storage, then bury it.

it would probably involve a lot of genetic mutilation, and what if the offspring are bigger than the pig and they just explode if the babies are not c-sectioned out? man-made horrors.
>>5944032 >Sysyphus myth is not about making no progress, but about progress being reset.
The reset means he makes no progress because he never gets any closer to the goal...
>>5944286 >he never gets any closer to the goal
Yes he does, the higher the ball is up the hill, the closer he is to the goal. The whole purpose of the ball and hill is to inspire and crush hope over and over again, there is no emotional rollercoaster without motion.
