Yes yes they are.
Anybody on here make /an/-related OC? I do field recordings and there's been some interest so I decided to make a thread. Post your OC here!
Here's a nice easy one of a spring evening. Birds, frogs, crickets, breeze.

The Spring Peepers were intense this year (as always). My recording rig is really expensive but made up of many components, so I spent a little money at a time to build it up. This recording was done when I didn't have my amazing preamps yet and I hadn't built the Jecklin disk either - SO the quality isn't as beautiful as the first post. Shame too, because the peepers are a pretty impressive wall of noise. Next spring I'll get'm properly.

Hey /an/.
I still live at home, and I have a cat. When my mom got him for me she said "don't keep your eyes off him".
A few months go by and my mom decides my cat doesn't like her, so she went out yesterday and got a kitten without telling anyone. My cat hates the new one. Following the new one 3 inches behind and taking any chance to smack the little guy. My mom says he'll get used to him eventually, keeping the kitten in the bathroom at night.
So this morning, my mom had to go to work. Kitten goes in bathroom. Then my dad leaves,...

It's probably trapped somewhere. Kittens aren't very smart and your mom needs to fucking clean to prevent getting it killed until it actually learns not to be an idiot and get stuck in stuff.
But sometimes adult cats are fucking stupid too. A few months ago my roommate brought in his friend's cat without telling me. I wasn't around for awhile and by the time I came home he told me he escaped about a week ago. Almost a week later I found him stuck behind a shelf-dresser thing we have(he could move around behind it but couldn't jump back over it).
We...

I've looked everywhere, I can't find it. I've even checked my sump pump and inside of sofas and beds. It hasn't turned up. I've checked outside too, nothing.
Maybe eventually it will mew? I don't know. I'm sweating and just scared for this thing.
>>2013188
It might start making noise once it gets hungry or whatever, if you're lucky and it's not retarded. Even so, it will be fine for a few days if it's stuck as long as it isn't hurt.
Really you're just going to have to toss the house. Pull out furniture, look under it, shove piles around, etc. If there is enough junk to fall over and hurt it, then well. Good luck. Pic related. I've cleaned out hoarder houses before, and yes, we've found dead cats before that the owners never knew was there.
What is /an/'s favorite dog breed?
Pugs, shibas and corgis
Rhodesian and Dachshund
I really like a lot of brachycephalic breeds.
[spoilersdon'tworkon/an/]no bully pls[/spoiler]
Which tier is your dog in?
All breeds are top tier desu
I'm assuming golden retrievers are on the same level as labs? Top dog senpai
Why does /an/ have such a fiery hateboner for shih tzus?
How can European cows even compete?

European cows don't look like saggy ballsacks

Exotic Shorthair thread - go!
This guy has been lurking outside my house for a few months, I'm pretty sure he belongs to someone around here but I can't be sure. Anyway it's cold so I let him inside and gave him tuna but is that cool? Would you be pissed off if someone fed your cat?
>>2014111

>>2014111

>>2014111
he is probably chipped or tattooed/ get him checked out so he can be go back to his owner
Hey /an/,
I'm thinking about adopting my first dog pretty soon, and I'd really like an adult dog that's out of it's puppy stage. There's a 7 year old lab and an 8 year old cattle dog mix that I'm interested in. However, everyone is telling me that it's more cost effective to get a younger (3-5 years) dog because all of the money for a senior dog will be spend on vet bills due to increased visits. Is there any truth in this?
old dogs are less healthy but young dogs get old later. it'd be cheapest to get one that's already dead.
>>2014102
Adopt a greyhound
eh, I'd personally go with the cattle dog mix if they didn't have known hip issues cause I adore them and older ones aren't so.. well, neurotic
but regardless I think adopting a slightly older dog is great, especially if you don't have a ton of experience in training. the medical costs can be more, but even in older pets it's not likely they're going to get a really expensive drawn out condition. people dont seem to get that most dogs act quite a bit like puppies until they're 3 or 4
HELP! Can anyone identify this dog? I think it's a Shiba Inu but I can't be sure.
Its a dog
>>2013835
thanks
It's a fucking commie dog, Obama has one of them.

Novato Couple Recount Terrifying Squirrel Attack
December 4, 2015
NOVATO (CBS-SF) - The last thing Richard Williams expected when he started doing chores in the garage of his Novato home the day after Thanksgiving was that he would soon be in a life-and-death battle with a crazed squirrel.
The 87-year-old Williams said the squirrel that has been terrorizing the neighborhood slipped into the garage through an open door.
"He charged me and jumped,...

Any Anon's got experience with stocking a lake with bass or catfish? I have 20 acres of wetlands and am interested in stocking it with fish. There are already some fish but not many I gather. Notice a few storks hunting there for fish and have heard them when they come up for air.
Don't bother with catfish, they'll just dominate the lake.
If there isn't a lot of fish, you'll probably want to stock it with smaller fish first so it can support larger species like bass.
>>2013218
How about brim?
If you do, please use native species
My cat appeared with pic related inside my house I managed to pull it out of it's mouth.
It's a baby bird pretty much like the pic. It was yesterday I didn't know what to do so I left it in my kitchen thinking it would live for so long.
But just now I suddenly start hearing it's tweets the bird is fucking still alive. I have no idea where is the nest or else I would try to place it back there.
What the fuck I should do? Please no killing I want it to leave but no idea how should I feed it.
ground up bait bugs and worms or meat baby food ir cat food (blended) in an eye dropper or feeding syringe every 20 minutes or so for 6 weeks or until you get someone from a wildlife place to take care of it, overfilling its crop will kill it be careful and warch videos on handfeeding birds it likely will never be able to live outside

Congrats, you're a mother now!
>every 20 minutes or so for 6 weeks
Impossible they will eat that much!
Hey /an/
First year wildlife student here. Already loving my this major and I couldn't imagine myself studying anything. Already getting involved and getting experience as well
<me with tranquilized deer
My wildlife school is fairly small though and in the rural south, so most professors and students are interested in feral pigs and deer, which isn't really my thing.
So my question is for the wildlife biologists, as well as the students, on this board. What do you guys do? What are you studying and where? I'd like to get a better idea...

What parts are you going to keep? I like the backstrap. The less appealing cuts to to the dog.
so what is your "thing"
