That's why the introduction of the dingo, and later the cat and fox, had such an impact. Australia is dangerous because most of those large predators ignore or run away from humans unless you aggravate them or they’re desperately hungry. You go to Australia and one wrong step has you get injected with brain-melting toxin by something you couldn’t see.

You'll never see a cougar. I've lived in this town for twenty five years. I've seen prints down by the river in the middle of town. They're there. But I've never seen one. Now, moose. Moose will gently caress you up.

MikeJF posted:That said wombats are still ridiculous little tanks of solid muscle. If they're being chased they'll sometimes just stop and let whoever's chasing them run into them and knock themselves over. Or if they can (less cute) they'll dive down a hole and when the dingo sticks their head in, they flex their butt upwards and crush the dingo head with the power of rear end. That spoiler fact is amazing. Wombats have an insanely thick rear end-hide right? So can they even enjoy butt scratches?

I've seen this type of situation on like a home surveillance tape where you can understand that nobody was watching at the time. Like, maybe the person came home, noticed the dog/cat was all wet and then reviewed the tape. But yea, this one definitely seems like there's just a person standing there watching which is hosed up. The cat looked terrified.

For cats in trees, I don't have a picture of it, obviously but when I was about 10-12 years old, we were still getting real actual trees for our Christmas tree, we didn't get a reusable plastic one until about halfway through my teens. This is important because the real trees have sturdier branches, which our cats at the time loved to climb, particularly MK (Miss Kitty; my sister named her) who we're pretty sure was a Maine Coone/Tortie mix. I get up at 3 in the morning for a glass of water, shuffle down the hallway, and shuffle past the tree in the living room. And stop. Shuffle back, turn, stare at the tree. MK has, somehow without toppling the entire thing, wiggled her way up the tree to head height and popped her head through the branches like a fuzzy ornament. We stare at each other for a second. "... Get out of the tree." -Rustlerustle, THUMP- -Sound of cat running away-

Great story and great mental image A Maine Coon/Tortie mix sounds like the feline version of hitting the brakes and gas pedal at the same time, all the time.

Snakes are thought to have evolved from burrowing lizards that intially possessed limbs, so it's unlikely the snake would be jelly
