So? Which is it?
I think it's the one with the most neurons in the brain. Probably a cockroach.

probably ants or their relatives.
>>2085032
Yeah but ant's are hivemind, not one mind
What is it that makes tentacles so terrifying?
Because they're also kind of erotic.
>>2084232
Colossal squid tentacles are the scariest
Terrifying? How about delicious!
What is your spirit animal and why?

Are there any animals more boring than bivalves?
>no discernible features besides a primitive "foot"
>basically just a blob of innards and muscle
>fairly immobile
At least stuff like sea sponges have crazy regeneration abilities. Convince me that bivalves are cool, /an/.

Has anyone ever bought live animals from supermarkets and kept them as pets? I feel bad for them due to their living environment and want to get some nice big fish for cheap.
I'm sure thousands, perhaps millions of people have done it.
But by doing it, you're supporting the industry. You're giving the shopkeeper more money to get more fish and subject them to conditions you yourself feel are inadequate.
Moral grey area really.

Are those snakeheads?
has anyone here raised a lobster like Homer did in that episode of the Simpsons?

We can only imagine

Outdoor cats.
>so clean
>>2073107
God I hate possums. Glad my cat beat the shit out of one that kept hanging around my yard; he hasn't shown up since.
So is it confirmed?
Spinosaurus is like this now?
almost
Didn't it turn out to be a chimera?
my dog of 18 years died recently, and I really want a new one. I have no idea what breed I should get. I want low maintenance on grooming, but I'm fine with having to walk the dog often. Medium sized is best and no breed that looks disabled. What do you recommend?
Pic kinda related, I like the idea of a shiba inu
go to the shelter and see what they have there
OP here, I don't really want a shelter/rescue dog because I want a puppy without any issues
>>2076734
Then go to a shelter or rescue. They get puppies all the time.
How can I get my friend to forgive me after I forgot to feed his dog for him while he was on vacation and it died?
I feel so bad about this and want to apologize but it's been a week now and he still won't even speak to me.
You are a fucking horrible idiot
>>2075310
If I were him, I wouldn't forgive you for several years, and even then wouldn't trust you around my animals ever again AND to top it off I would tell anyone looking for a dog sitter that you're a forgetful fuck that let my animals die and I wouldn't recommend you to anyone.
You're a shitty friend.
>>2075310
You don't. You are a fucking shitty friend and should feel horrible.
Getting two mini rex rabbits soon. Any good training books out there? Tricks and games n' stuff.
are you serioulsy expecting them to do tricks?
>>2077101
>Tricks and games
I guess you could do the clam shell game where you hide a treat in one of your hands and try to make them guess which ones. other than that, not really no
Domesticated prey animals are not as bright as domesticated predator animals.

Hey Guys. Got drunk and bought a microscope.
It claims it can go up to 1000x magnification, but I'm a bit incredulous about that...
Anyway. Taking requests.
I didn't realise it wouldn't come with slides, so cellular level stuff is kinda limited, but I'll pick some up as soon as possible.
Pic related is 100µm x 100µm at the absolute max zoom
A blade of grass.
A grass seed.
The Anther of a Gravilia flower with a lump of pollen on the end.
Why is it always like this?
Why can't it ever be a relaxing game of fetch?
I usually chase after my dog when he does that.
We have lots of fun.
Bad training. Fetch has rules. Your dog doesn't know them.
>>2081121
Teach your dog 'leave it'. Look up youtube vids, he'll pick it up in less than ten minutes if you have a good treat ready, like chicken breast.
What's the best parrot species to start out with? I want to eventually own other birds like a conure or Senegal, and maybe a cockatoo if I was in a position where I could properly care for one
Nothing will prepare you for a cockatoo except a cockatoo. While parrots in general are a big responsibility, I would never recommend any 'cockatoo' species to anyone except cockatiels. Really, OP. Yeah theyre cute and funny in some videos but even experienced, long time parrot owners tend to avoid them because they are a huge hassle.
Senegals are a no-go if you plan on owning any other birds in the future, and they tend to be violent towards other animals as well. Some are 'ok' with it but it's not a risk you should take, and it would not be fair...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
you don't really start out with parrots, as they all live a really long time.
get a parrotlet, same personality of a parrot but the bites are tolerable and they are not loud..
