Don't give me that poo poo about hollow bones. Why the gently caress dont bats have hollow bones? Because they are loving weak apparently, and thus deserve to die

why do we have tiny leopards and huge leopards? Why do we have species that are microcosms of other species, yet this fails to present in other areas?

what about fractals? what about that?

there used to be giant sloths. now they are all small and lovely. there were other giant versions of existing mammals, now they suck. some we human ate, and are gone. But what about the giant mice? I ask the academy

and to expand, what about the giant earthworms?

I shouldn't do poo poo. I don't care about them they all
could die and it won't affect my life. I know a lot about them
but I don't need to think about them. They're just a waste of
time koalas are stupid they don't help me with poo poo so why
should I help them. If they all die there will be more room for
the panthers and all the other hard animals. Koalas are weak a
pit will get rid of their whole loving family. That's why I
don't like koalas.

Koalas have sharp claws but they are weak. They all small
and fat and they be climing trees. I hope a storm just come
while theyjust chilling up in the tree thinking they is hard and
they're will all just fall off. They just break they neck and
poo poo. When they fall they claws are going to fall off and they
going to be crying like some little bitches.

Koalas aren't hard they some little bitches. They start
climbing up the tree soon as they see a deer from like 50feet
away. They stupid as hell they should put their brain in their
pouch and put the kid in they ten they're be able to think
better. They try to be in the loving kangaroo family. They weak
as hell, talking bout they got a pouch a kangaroo so they their
cousins and poo poo. Kangaroo's have some big rear end legs and whot do
a koala got? Some little rear end legs, they tails is little and weak
as gently caress kangaroo's got a big rear end long tail that can kill a
loving koala.

If a koala goes in the water it won't be able to breathe
with its little short rear end. It'd loving drown soon aas it take
one step into the water. While they at the river trying to get
something to drink a bear could just come to him and snatch its
rear end up. It doesn't know protection because they don't have
protection. What they little rear end going to do? It can't scratch
him. The bear will beat his loving rear end.

The important think about koalas is that just don't care
about tem and let them die by all the other animals in
Australia. They're not important just let nature do what it do
and kill them. Koalas do not have a place in this world there's
not enough room for all the bitches in this world. So let all
the koalas that's in the zoos and poo poo. Let them go and put them
back with their family. If you let them all go they won't
nothing except for that's what they was put in this world for.

Now you know why koalas aren't important. They have
nothing to do except for sitting around in the trees. It's like
they just was like they was sent have to die. Koalas don't do
nothing to help anybody. Thre would be just one more relative of
the kangaroo that will be six feet under. Now you know why
koalas are not important because there are dumb.

This game stinks
Mice that evolved to get really big needed to live in the water to find more food, and they developed better teeth so they could catch other animals because they taste better than whatever the little beta mice eat. Their limbs got longer to make it easier to swim and poo poo, too, but they lost their hair to reduce drag in the water. They also got really fat to float better and stay warm. Now they hate themselves because of unrealistic beauty standards and their only solace is cake.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
there used to be all kinds of giant mammals. badgers the size of bears and stuff.

there was indeed a rodent the size of a modern cow; you decide if that qualifies as "giant mouse"

idk about mice but I can tell you spiders/insects don't get super huge because there isn't enough O2 in the atmosphere to support their bodies past a certain size due to the way they respirate (larger body = way more volume gain compared to surface area gain).

there is no reason that giant mice should not exist.

Sea turtles live for like a billion years. why are there not car-zised sea-turtles?

In fact, why are there not giant 50 foot humans, or huge turtles? Why arent there tiny birds, or miniscule whales the size of minnows

Because they would've all been killed by predators. There's a reason there are no megafauna left on the planet, aside from some elephants here and there, and a tiny number of rhinos and poo poo. And all of those are gonna go extinct pretty soon outside of zoos.

In another 50 years all of the wildlife on the planet will be wiped out and the world will be covered in cows and the noisy hairless apes that eat them.

There are a lot of elephants still around, and not only did me murder the poo poo out of them, we used them for warfare

also there are still whales even though we tried to burn them all so that we could gently caress with the lights on

why haven't we ever tried to domesticate whales, for that matter? we could use them to pull our ships and harvest lesser whales for more gently caress oil, aren't they supposed to be real intelligent an poo poo

nobody has answered my question about fractals yet btw

I mean, look at mountains. they are like cracks in rocks and poo poo. and water ripples, sound waves... same poo poo

or how little black cats look like panthers. same deal

Why aren't there tigers as big as elephants? Sometimes a design just reaches a certain size and it doesn't make sense to go bigger.
