if I piss off a caterpillar so much that it can't make it's pupa, will it stay a caterpillar forever?
It will die from stress.
It would be extremely painful

For you
Reminder that the salamander and newt hobby is getting completely shut down soon. If you wanted any species of salamander/newt that isn't a tiger salamander or axolotl, you have until january 28th to get it.

What is with this meme that shelter dogs have a ton of baggage? People are acting like if you don't get a puppy, you're being cucked by taking care of some other person's dog. I'm seeing it everywhere, and novice owners who aren't ready for a puppy or families that would do better with a senior animal are going to breeders because they don't want to be some beta cuck because of this meme.
wait, you think people want puppies not because they're cuter, more fun, and live longer than an adult dog, but because of a cuck meme?

I see everyone telling people not to get dogs and even puppies at shelters because of the baggage meme. Obviously, not every single person thinks that way, but I see this spreading on social media, in the workplace, even at shelters like wild fire. People will always have their reasons to go to a breeder, but now more people who may have considered a shelter before are being told that all shelter dogs are shit and to go elsewhere.
I'm not suggesting baggage is the sole reason why every person goes to a...

They probably think, why would someone get rid of a perfectly good dog unless something is wrong with it.
Post animals on the brink.
>Pic related, a vaquita, 100 left in the wild. Mexicans are killing them and only Trump can save them.
Only because people like to collect their shells.

hi /an/
So recently a cat wandered into my house.
At first I assumed she was homeless since she didn't have a collar, but she's pretty healthy-looking and fully housebroken, if a little fleabitten. After putting up some "missing cat" flyers, her owner came by and felt this was worth getting confrontational over, accusing me of stealing their cat.
Of course, the cat being a fucking cat, she still keeps wandering into my house any time I open the door. She refuses to leave, and won't to stay at her actual home if I take her over there in the...

Do they keep it outside or are they too shit to watch it so it doesn't run out?
Also where do you live? Laws might be different there
>>2037451
I have no idea what they do with her. The impression I got from the owner when they came over to tell me to stop keeping their cat was that they didn't give a shit about anything except the fact that it was "Their cat". I'd be more than happy to give the cat back to them, but there's fuck all I can do because the lovable little shit keeps coming back of her own accord.
Also I live in the UK.
who's the dipshit that thought bringing these to australia was a good idea
cant deal with the bantz
>>2037345
It has a stupid name anyway, I woulda called it a bozwazi
>>2037345
Nobody, they weren't introduced intentionally.
What the hell is wrong with this one? (blaptica dubia)
Seems to be a male, but the wings are too short.
Is it sick? or are those wings just still unfolding from a moult?
>>2037333
It looks like a bad moult to me.
>>2037333
As the other anon said it looks like a bad moult.
It should hopefully be back to normal in a moult or two
>>2037333
Could just have one more molt before adulthood. Never seen a pre adult instar roach though but if its anything like its cousin mantoidae or like hemiptera it would make sense
>>2037435
Unlike arachnids the adult molt is the ladt one. If the wings are fully developed and fucked then that's all she wrote
Is there a reason why horse teeth are often discolored?
they are animals and do not practice or have any concept of dental hygiene

goat teeth aren't that gross and they have a similar diet. Why do horses have particularly nasty teeth?

why are horses so silly
Raccoon dog aka jenotskaja sobaka aka tanuki is cute fluffy piece of cancer which is spreading all over eastern Europe.
It all began when Russians thought it's nice idea to move these fluffballs out of Far East so they'd get better quality fur. They thought, they did - and now these furry creatures quickly spread thanks to:
-Living in the night
-Staying far away from humans
-6 to 8 cubs every year (might be even 15!)
-No natural enemies (wolves hunt them but these are only in the mountains)
-Ecoterrorists which told ppl who buy furry coats are evil,...

Is it safe for my cat to rest her head directly on the radiator for long periods of time? It gets really hot and I worry that she's boiling her little brain. It may be a coincidence but she seems to have forgotten how to open doors from the inside recently.
Bump for a cute cat.
I have no answer nor cat, though where I live everyone's cats just love sitting on radiators hot enough to harm a hand. I have three thoughts: maybe they hate draughts of any kind or it's a seasonal winter behavior or radiators are available high spots nobody claims.

Take your cat to the vet, just in case.

This better be bait.
Look up training videos and you'll find out why, because you clearly are doing all of your shit wrong.
Also you don't push a dog to teach them to roll over.
How old is he? Why are you using wee pads and not walking him like a normal owner. I'm not surprised he seems to dislike you if you're not exercising him
>>2035862
It is not bait.
He is three.
My mom won't let me take him out for a walk as she is worried that his paws will get dirty.
>>2035866
Weren't you here not too long ago saying that your mom would only let you take the dog outside in a baby carriage because of that reason?
