No. "Nature" is a human concept to describe that which is non-human. It makes no difference that humans and lions are both animals, because that isn't what nature refers to.

cone snail. Ironicly its one of the fastest animals on the planet.
>>2097727
on the topic, cone snails have some of the deadliest venom in the animal kingdom because they move so slowly, they have to be able to sting a fish in one instant and have it die before it swims too far away from the snail to scoot over to the corpse and eat the body.
I didn't recoil in horror at the gif at all, the fish is probably already stung by that snail and comatose or completely numb and dying already.
It has to be a far more pleasant way to die than like that zebra with its insides hanging below it, that thing could feel enormous suffering for hours instead of a few seconds of a sting and then going to sleep and dying relatively painlessly (for anything in the animal kingdom)

>>2098722
>that is arbitrary.
lol
language is arbitrary, as is identity and nomenclature.
every idea in your sentence is a slippery slope, and entirely meaningless to almost every living thing on the planet.
that doesn't mean we can't agree on what you're trying to say, does it?
now go back and read the anon's statements again, and this time see if you can understand what they're trying to say.
>>2098725
What matters is what he actually wrote.
>Nature is anything that isn't done by human hands. Then, there's culture, it's anything human makes
Is a ridiculous false dichotomy.
If something is to be defined as 'human' in opposition to 'natural' it has to be something other animals do not do or have.
>>2098737
>If something is to be defined as 'human' in opposition to 'natural' it has to be something other animals do not do or have.
no, it doesn't.
but ignoring your inability to wrap your head around that for a second, why don't you go look up "culture?"
you'll find the word is defined as strictly human.
so when a zoologist, e.g., speaks of bonobo culture, they're misusing the word, not the anon.
misuse isn't real either, btw. Words are used for whatever we agree they mean. So you don't get to tell the anon his usage is wrong, you don't get to decide what he means.

things have meanings, just not the ones you're using.
again, go look up culture.
the anon is correct, you are wrong.
>Meanwhile in the real world culture is not exclusively human and his post is wrong
are you allergic to dictionaries or something?
you can't be a linguistic prescriptivist AND ignore the dictionary. If you insist a word has a certain meaning, you have to bow to what others think it means.
and whether you like it or not, people think natural is the opposite of artificial, and culture is the sum of non-instinctive human behaviors.
>>2098757

>>2098757

There's a difference between culling vermin and luring them in for a spectacle though. If you kill a rat, you kill it fast, you don't torture it. That guy was being edgy on purpose
>>2098764
>and whether you like it or not, people think natural is the opposite of artificial, and culture is the sum of non-instinctive human behaviors.
Who cares if they think that? Humans are not the only species with what is called 'culture', that is a simple fact regardless of how many people are ignorant of it..

>>2096987
Newfag here, anyone got any majestic horns?
>>2098772
>that is a simple fact regardless of how many people are ignorant of it.
no it isn't.
the word is defined to reflect their "ignorance."
if we say culture is human, then other animals don't have it.
If people get together and say culture isn't strictly human then other animals can have it.
the dictionary tells you which one everyone is saying atm.

>>2098907
Thats not especially teaching it that. Throwing food to the gators is teaching it that.
This is just teaching them they can get an easy meal by going after pigs.
Notice how the gator pays almost no attention to the boat or people?
>>2098983
There was nothing he could do either. That's the worst part. He looked like he was trying to find a way to help out his buddy, but he's just a pig, and the other guy was already caught by an animal much bigger than them.
>>2097839
So is the cape buffalo when they start to eat him alive as soon as they bite the nerves to shit around his lower spine, and he collapses.
But nobody will save a buffalo. They are not cute.

This entire argument started because you asserted that "nature" is everything that humans don't make. The other anon is right, your dichotomy is false. Other animals make tools, nests, tunnels, etc. Are those not natural? If I take a shit, is that not natural because I, as a human "made" the shit?
Your definition of natural is the same one as the can of tomato sauce that says "all natural! :3". I bet you're the kind of idiot that pays extra for organic food because it's "all natural" and doesn't contain any mean, mean non-natural GMOs.
Now you might want to make your linguistics major seem relevant all day your way by being attached to your dictionary definition culture and nature, but before being definitions, they are concepts. It's by discussing and evaluating these concepts that we form meaning out of them, and then Oxford Dictionary can re-evaluate the definitions in the dictionary. There is a lot of talk about animal cultures, from mating rituals with spiders to Neanderthal burials. Spoiler: did you know that even the concept of "life" is super vague? I presume your dictionary definition won't tell you that either.
>>2099121
>But nobody will save a buffalo. They are not cute.
They also aren't ecologically threatened, at least according to the IUCN.
>>2099202
Not who you're arguing with, but I think you misinterpreted the definition as posited by the initial anon. If other animals make tools, it is natural, because the tool wasn't made by humans. It's not "anything that humans can make is not natural," it's only what they DO make. I hope that makes sense, I'm not great at explaining.
But it doesn't matter anyway, because everyone is right. Natural can, and often does, mean something that humans didn't create. It also can mean pretty much any part of the universe. This shit's why context is important. Can we stop arguing about this now? The word has multiple definitions. Everyone gets to be right.

They expected an alligator to get fed. I can't even blame them, I like predators over prey animals in general. I think you'd hear a lot less people protesting about it if it was something cuter like a tiger or a wolf instead of an alligator.

Infinity cannot be used in arithmetic like that.
Assume that x - 7 = 19 + x is true.
Rearranging, we find x - x = 19 + 7 => 0 = 26.
We have reached a contradiction, and therefore x - 7 = 19 + x is not true. x is undefined. â–¡
