Mr. Gibbycrumbles posted:Actually Cheetahs are descended from ancient domesticated stock, which is why they are chill with people. The downside is that the Cheetah genepool is terribly inbred and a real problem to the ultimate survival of the species Huh, never heard that theory about them being domesticated in ancient times, although I did already know about them being super inbred by mammal standards(like they're pretty much the only mammals that are more inbred than Humans, which is pretty drat amazing since all modern humans descend from a group of about 10,000 humans who survived some ancient volcanic cataclysm in Africa)

Spoeank posted:I get enough scratches on my face and neck from not waking up early enough on the weekends for feline breakfast. I can't imagine that with a cheetah. Domestic cats are safe because they are small. They cant hurt us much even if they try. And eventually they will attack us, out of irritation or even playing. But the worst they can do is to give us some scratches. A cheetah is no lion but they are big enough to kill or seriously harm a human. Even if they are tamed and behave like domestic cats, they are still dangerous.

kannonfodder posted:Some friends of the family live on a farm and rescue greyhounds. Can confirm that they are super chill and relaxed 99% of the time, but when they get outside and wanna goof off, holy poo poo do they tear it up. My grandmother kept a greyhound. The one time I walked it as a kid with my Mum, she had it on a lead the whole time. We got down to the beach and my Mum thinks because she's been so well behaved, she'll let the dog off the leash. I advised her against this. As soon as it was removed, that dog was loving gone, like a cartoon character that leaves a puff of air shaped like themselves behind. After some panicked phone calls to my grandmother (oh god we lost her dog), by sheer coincidence we found her running down the road we were driving on. We opened the door and she hopped in. She stank but she seemed pretty happy about her day out. A Great Big Bee! has a new favorite as of 21:42 on Aug 2, 2015 |

Caffeine is poisonous to literally everything because that's what it is: a poison. Plants produce it because it kills insects. It acting as a stimulant for larger animals is a happy accident.

Unlike a wolf or jaguar that will communicate by growling and snarling, polar bears will just look at you in their usual way before swiping your head off.

Couldn't move my ring and pinky finger on my right hand for a week due to a bite right on my hand below the fingers. In Henry Cat's defense, he had hurt his back and was in a lot of pain and we were trying to get to the e-vet. He's a lover not a fighter, but right then he didn't want me touching him and let me know it.

Our old family cat loved my mother with all her tiny kitty heart, but she still put her in hospital for three days once after she freaked out at the vet and gave her a proper deep cat bite. Cats are safe because they love humans and don't want to kill us, so they don't bite or scratch us properly as a general rule. For contribution, this is the cat in question (she pretty much looked like a kitten for her entire 17 years on this planet);

That seems to be a different cat attack. This is the one the screenshot is from (the exchange in the screenshot starts at 1:27): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwCgSnYrbTE And here's a new cat-related emergency call, this time from Yorkshire. A man wants his girlfriend's cat arrested for eating his bacon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbY8xASTBnI

bonewitch posted:Shes a frumpy baby right now cause shes shedding and the moving process is stressful, so I don't want to turn on lights or bug her to get good pictures. She was fed yesterday, so no handling for a little bit. Victoria for sure. I've a Royal Python called Pliskin  Super chill pets but be aware that they are a bit dim and will climb up things they shouldn't and then fall off.

freelop posted:Victoria for sure. Snakes are lovely but compared to some other potential pet animals, they really are a bit dense. My mum's little brown dog was harassing a tree snake that was hanging out in the pot plant section of our garden one day, and it tried to escape by slithering up a palm tree. Unfortunately, it was a small potted palm tree, and it was too heavy for the palm fronds. So the higher it tried to slither, the closer to the ground it got as the frond bent under its weight. It would have kept slithering in a confused manner into the dog's little jaws but my mum was nice enough to remove him so the snake could plop in confusion onto the ground and slither up a gum tree further away.

It seems like up until they're actively clawing and biting you, all the lions I've seen keep a very unremarkable face. Actually that's very terrifying because it suggests that it takes little effort to murder the poo poo out of you.

Elias_Maluco posted:Well, that's what Im talking about. Sometimes they do attack us, and they can hurt us some. If my mother did not have easy access to a hospital, she would also be dead. She nearly needed surgery, and that was after getting some antibiotics on the day and only waiting until the next morning to see that they hadn't done enough before going into hospital. If we lived in a country that didn't have universal healthcare we'd also probably be screwed. What I'm saying is that house cats can do a hell of a lot of damage, they just choose not to because they're tame. Plenty of tame animals are capable of killing a person, they just don't. No reason why cheetahs would be any different if we bred them into pets properly. Here's some pictures of my current cat who is far too polite to ever dream of biting someone that badly:

Kitten named Osamu meets 9 other cats He gets so poofy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNBRPC4nFg Oh hell one more, Shiro & friends enjoying silvervine. The most intriguing part of the video to me is that someone got that many cats to stay in a line beside each other and then as if that wasn't enough, they got them to hold still and stay there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZU5EcN8qfQ Tendai has a new favorite as of 18:23 on Aug 3, 2015 |
