Chroisman posted:That's awesome, I didn't see any in the wild when I went up there in February Awesome! Funny thing is we were hoping to go pretty far up into the Daintree largely in the hope of seeing a cassowary. Instead we hit a bridge that was out, and had to turn around. We were disappointed and resigned to never seeing one, but literally within a minute of turning around we saw this guy cruising down the side of the road, oblivious as can be. So I guess my best cassowary spotting tip is to give up hope completely, as they seem to be attracted to irony.

t_violet posted:Also, if anyone's ever in St. Augustine, Florida, check out the Alligator Farm; they have one of every type of alligator, crocodile, or caiman in the world (plus lots of birds and little marmosets and poo poo). It's a very well run facility (not a dodgy roadside stand) and very cool. Alligator Adventure in Myrtle Beach, SC is a slightly lower budget version, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

For "fish" to be a monophyletic group it would have to include tetrapods, so in an evolutionary sense, yes whales are in fact "fish", and so are you.

Trig Discipline posted:Sorry, this level of sarcasm probably wasn't warranted. I'm a professional evolutionary biologist, and I'm not used to people not knowing these things. When I said it looked like a dinosaur, it was with the same intent as you might say a particular person looks like an ape - people are ALL apes, but some of us actually LOOK like it, and that's kinda cool. Of course, if you're going to argue (as many people do, including, bizarrely, some professional evolutionary biologists) that all birds are dinosaurs, then you should also argue that all birds are fish, since they are simply a highly specialized lineage of fish. If you're going to be pedantic about paraphyletic clades, you have to be pedantic about all paraphyletic clades. Check your tetrapod privelege. A bad-rear end fish:

Gentwise posted:I think the "are you kidding me?" was questioning the fact that real-life wild animals are just animals from some video game to you. I think most people would appreciate that they were seeing animals from nature, not animals from Far Cry 3. I was just using the game as a shorthand way of saying that they have cool animals not that animals are cool just cause their from a video game. Is that really weird?

anonumos posted:PICTURES! Pictures, pictures, pictures, PICTURES!!!! According to my friend, that picture is about 10 years old, and he had a harness under his shirt attached to the rig. Still. If he had a malfunction getting the reserve out would have proved difficult. If the picture is really 10 years old, that means the coloring is from camera/film, not a stupid instagram filter.

I suppose the top left says "Price: 1 ruble". It could be a wartime propaganda poster (a very, very understated poster) promoting frugality, but the bottom right is too small for me to decipher. Or then again it could be a postcard with the cheery subject of "Soviet sailors with machine guns".

Chard posted:Care to explain? Google images is turning lots of pictures of dirt. Russian Naval Infantry, as someone pointed out. I'd guess that's the Crimea, '41 or later judging by their sub-machine-guns. The Crimean Campaign isn't really talked about a whole lot, but if those guys were defending Sevastopol they probably had to fight real hard sometime after that picture. Looks like that machine-gun team has nowhere to go if they needed to retreat. Good thing everyone brought two cartridge belts for that Maxim!

Chard posted:Care to explain? Google images is turning lots of pictures of dirt. Soviet naval infantry. A lot of ships went down early on in the war, leaving lots of able bodies trained men with nothing to do, so they got some guns and were sent into battle. They were pretty hard core, and opted out of pansy land-lubber stuff like "helmets" and "camouflage". The picture itself is from the Smena magazine. It was the last page, that's why it has the price printed on it.

The bad-rear end part isn't the dude catching whatever it is, or the dude hanging down. It's the guy walking out there like he's on casual stroll.
