Echidnas maybe, but they are not as awesome.

Long beaked echidnas are best monotreme
Hey guys. Saw this little dude on my night stand on his back. Tried to help it up and it seemed pretty retarded. Wasn't able to stand up (kept rolling onto its back) until I finally managed to get it upright after a lot of effort.
no clue what kind of bug it is but it's pretty! Ended up flying away. Anyone know what this is?
Geographic area is central florida btw

It's some kind of leafhopper

My cat is an outside cat and its normal for him to leave for a while but this time when he came back he started to chase, hiss and attack his tail, we've taken him to the emergency vet bc it was all bloody and u could see the bone, they have gave him meds and doctored it up and wrapped it, we also had a cone on him for weeks, it seemed to heal and it's been about a year but today we came home to this , I felt up his tail and it is completely fucked all the way up like 5 inches, I think he just licked most of the blood off, wtf do I do?? I love my cat
It's hard to get a good pic with out his biting the shit out of me

You very obviously "love" your cat.
Hey guys. This mark just appeared on my dog's hind leg. It doesn't seem to hurt her, and she walks fine. I can press on it, and it doesn't bother her. Any idea on what it is?

Who needs a vet when you have a doctor?
Is it sunny dry and hot outside? If so it's a sun spot try vasoline on the sore
If this man can do it, sign me the hell up

There's something wrong with that guy's lens. The constant distortion and how nothing remains in the same perspective as it should me is made me straight up nauseous.
If you look carefully at the behavior of the rabbits and the man, you can see the interesting hierarchy that has been established. The man being the God to the rabbits, their creator, their caretaker. The rabbits all respect and worship the man. The rabbit habitats are strikingly similar looking to nazi concentration camps, this fact adds to the notion that the God, (the man) wants to physiologically instill to the rabbits that he is their provider, and the one who will bring them death, only propping his oppresive regime up and contributing to his absolute authority.
What differences are there between vet grade dog medication and pet store "joint and fitness" medication? The vet obviously seems more trustworthy and the medicine has noticeable effects, but how do I know the stuff from the pet store isn't pseudo-science like the "health and wellness" medication from the market?
>pic is dug
Handsome dug, OP.
What you gotta do is read labels. A lot of pet store medicines are generic versions of brand medicine. Find out both the trade name AND the generic name of the drugs your dog needs, and see if you can get a better deal OTC.

Ty, and the drug is Meloxicam which looks like a simple anti-inflammatory. Is it likely the vet is overpricing? Can you get drugs shipped cheaper as long as you have a valid prescription?
>>2132685
You can get reliable meds from farm stores. It will come in ridiculous quantities and you're going to have to research proper dosing per pound.
Why won't the balance of nature meme not die? Who is to blame for the meme? Christianity?
it's mostly old people and housewifes that spend their entire day gardening.
it's an illusion, most people fall for it.

So it will die out? I have a feeling that young people still believe it
>>2132478
it will only get worse.
this is a weird question /an/ but what do you make of mailing pets?
long story short i replied to a local CL ad about a puppy.....and somehow the owners are on the otherside of the country?
apparently the puppies are healthy but they can't care for them; and so i can adopt them for "free" (if they agree, that is) but I have to pay to have the doggie shipped to me, which is around $300
the whole thing seems sketch, but the puppies look healthy, sound good, and they are the type of dog I want. i also want to help the dogs out since it sounds like...

Is this shit real, or is it photoshopped?
>>2132116
Personally, my favorite chicken (appearance wise) is the Sebright Bantam Chicken.
Watch our adorable beagle puppy with big floppy ears run down the stairs with his ears flopping the whole way down. He's so fucking cute, I just died.

I have a dilemma /an/
I have been thinking about getting a dog for the past 6 or so months and I think within the next week I'll be ready. The breed I have my heart set on is the Siberian husky, I've read 3 books about them and I feel like I am a pretty good match for one.
Here is the problem,
Currently I live in an appartment, and while it is a dog friendly place, the rescues I've seen all require I have a yard. I volunteer for a rescue so I would rather adopt a dog, even though I could get past that requirement by talking to a breeder.

Huskies are dropped off at animal shelters all the time, and many shelters don't require yards. However, with an animal shelter you will have to be patient and wait a few months, and most animal shelters go by first come first serve rules so you have to act fast if you want one.
>apartment
>Husky
No. I don't believe you've really read books on them. And yes lying about having a yard is shit because no one is going to want to adopt a husky to an apartment dweller.

What the fuck?
