Are seals of the Phocini tribe (Pagophilus, Histriophoca, Halichoerus, Phoca, Pusa) capable of physical violence at all? Or do they just exclusively angrily shout at each other and occasionally bite each others back flippers if the seal is particularly bloodthirsty
>>4784378>Animals tend to settleNo, they don't. It depends on if it hurt more than they wanted to win.It often doesn't and they come back day after day and they do, in fact, kill each other. Fuck off with your noble savage fantasy.>The psychology of some guy getting pissy that he got beat up is pretty human.It isn't human. Simple emotional cost/value evaluation, it's the most animal thing on earth. Does it hurt bad enough to stop wanting it?The idea that once you lose, you are a loser, and must fall back in line or you are "dishonorable" (implying you will received lessened status as punishment for continuing to be disruptive) is primate behavior.
>>4784378humans kill losers all the time especially if the loser was after their mate or their territory. so do animals. you can just go on youtube and watch hours of lions, wolves, and bears dismembering and eviscerating rival males.

I would give another chance to the classic non-avian theropods. So, my choice includes two big guys:>Utahraptor>Imperobatortwo medium-sized predators:>Deinonychus>Dromaeosaurand a small, clever rascal:>TroodonYes, they are a few tens of millions of years too late and are unlikely to catch up with mammals in intelligence. But do they really need to?*Yes, I learned about Imperobator from that really questionably-scientific show made by a slopmaker from Disney. Don’t judge me, I'm not a professional paleontologist.

How do people leave their dogs like this, for 8-10 hours at a time, like a veal cow?
>>4781754If they were already “aggressive” then no shit it was “fine”, doing that to normal well adjusted cats usually doesn’t end well
>>4772922People who do this don't see the animal as a living creature with its own life, they see it as a toy that only exists for them to play with. Big sign that the individual has a narcissistic personality and at least based on my anecdotal life experience, every person who does this is also insanely cruel and abusive but hides it behind larping as nice.>don't worry they reveal themselves over any tiny inconvenience
>>4779546Seethe harder dog buttsniffer
i don’t own dogs (catfag) but every dog owner who has shit to say about small dogs and cats are sociopathic (you’ll see how they “joke” about being violent against them because they’re “annoying”) and do shit like op’s pic.personally i like both cats and dogs, i like small ones too. but most dog owners are retarded psychopaths and should euthanize themselves.

>>4784741Dogfags are insane and violent. More news at 11.
>>4784185Sure, but do you know if your pitbull is going to randomly get a mental breakdown?You can't train against mental illness in your dog.I don't doubt they can be loyal and loving dogs when trained correctly. But its the fact that so many of them were bred to be naturally aggressive and have so many mental health problems that can make them become violent with little notice.Imagine if you took humans and selectively bred those where the best in gladiatorial combat and also wanted them to be able to get violent really quickly for said combat. That is exactly why Pitbulls have so many issues.If they where cross bred with a dog that was not known to have mental illness or just not aggressive it could work out. Like a Beagle, Boxer, or Labrador. Until Pitbull breeders admit that the minds of the dogs they breed are as deterministic as the way they look this issue will never be solved.

>go on a hike>all trees are the same kind>no animals>no insects>maybe one or two songbirds and one woodpecker>streams completely empty, no frogs, no fish, no bugsWhy are forests here (NE USA) so empty? I grew up in a thirdy world Asia and there were insects everywhere--beetles, grasshoppers, praying mantises, butterflies, dragonflies--and small animals like frogs, toads, and all kinds of birds. Every stream was filled with fish, amphibians, and sometimes crayfish.
>>4784299>>4784316don't even bother entertaining the mentally ill rightoids. they see one bad post about a leftist and will apply it to all of them, but if you show them one bad stereotype of a rightoid they will overfill their diapers in anger

I am attempting to breed some otocinclus when I tear down this old set up. I have pygmy corydoras currently breeding, and I have read that otocinclus like breeding around corydoras. Will moving some of the pygmy corys water, theoretically containing their pheromones, in to my oto tank be enough, or should I just move both to the same tank?Both breeding tanks will run concurrent to each other, so if it works I'll hopefully have plenty of catfish soon enough.
>>4784812Based catfish enthusiast. What would you recommend for a 20 gallon all-catfish, all-the-time tank?
>>4784812>Will moving some of the pygmy corys water, theoretically containing their pheromones, in to my oto tank be enoughIdk why don't you just try it? Is the exchange of water gonna be that detrimental that you can't experiment?
>>4784817I prefer species only tanks which ruins the fun of your question, but 50+ pygmy corys in a 20gal is literally why I started breeding them, fuck paying for them lmao.20g is a lil small for anything bigger, a royal whiptail and some glass cats would be kino in a bigger tank though. Hoplos are cool too.>>4784858I will try it, just got sand living rent free in my head. I was planning a bare glass bottom for the otto tank for algae and biofilm growth. I don't want to fuck around adding sand for some corys to play in after the fact. Fucking sand. I will see if the sex water works, any other tips would be appreciated, especially for growing excess biofilm or edible algaes for them.

I see these fuckers all the time and I asked around in 5 discords wtf it is and nobody could tell me. It makes this odor when it dies but it's not the normal stinkbug (though I do see those on occasion as well). Anyone have an idea?

>>4784760I remember always being super paranoid about this as a kid and having my worst fears confirmed that they do exactly as you say. Shit sucks when you live somewhere with a completely flat topography and there’s almost always a stagnant pool of water no matter where you go
Does anyone know what bug left these eggs? I took them off a day ago assuming they were caterpillar eggs, but a search of keywords makes me think they're wasp eggs. If that's the case, is it too late to put them back outside to let them hatch?
This is real
>>4784869No, it's a costume and paint. Maybe some prosthetics too.
