Choco1980 posted:it just dawned on me why pallas' cats are so angry looking. It's the eyes with the round pupils instead of the cat slits. Most of the big or medium felines have round pupils. Pallas just look weird because they're so small and have them. Also Pallas' cats are so angry looking in part because they're so angry. People who work with cats at zoos all apparently agree that Pallas' cats are the biggest, grumpiest arseholes of all of them by far.

I've seen cats walking like that when they have something stuck to them. Maybe on the other side.

Mmm, if the cat was getting ready to pounce the ears would be up and forward (preying) or back (pissed off). Totally flattened is scared, it's instinctively making itself smaller to hide.

davidspackage posted:I think it's just a hilarious coincidence, where both ears are the same, one's just floppy (in the manner a lab has), and it happens to be the one on the side of it's dark eye. I would never tire of looking at that dog, though. Hilarious coincidence is the case with pretty much all the animals that the internet likes to call chimeras. Venus The Chimera Cat is a calico that just happens to have both heterochromia and a very straight line of colouring. That's not really how chimerism presents itself.

Safari Disco Lion posted:It's something with loading this images on another website, I think. It works fine from Imgur, where it's a couple megabyte gif, but then c/p'ed here it's a huge movie file that kills my browser. It's the other way around. On Imgur, it's displayed as a real movie file, so it's only a few hundred kilobytes. But SA doesn't let you embed HTML5 video, so it has to be embedded as a gif, which is a 20 meg monstrosity that kills the page.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Their field of view doesn't narrow, but their resolving power gets worse. When their pupils are narrow slits the height something has to be to be distinguishable as a distinct object is less than the width. So they basically lose horizontal resolution? (except in no way actually like that)

Humbug Scoolbus posted:That Wombat looks like a carnival prize. I'm pretty sure that's Patrick. He's the oldest Wombat ever (29 years) and Wombats are one of those species that never stop growing, so Patrick is... a big boy. He's too big to easily carry so they roll him around in a wheelbarrow like it's his rickshaw. MikeJF has a new favorite as of 06:56 on Apr 19, 2015 |

They're like little tanks. I'd like to think that if one gets hit by a car it wouldn't be the wombat who got hurt. Oh, yeah, wombats are little indestructible tanks of solid muscle. They can kill a dingo by diving into a hole, then when a dingo pokes their head in after they crush the dingo's skull with their butt. MikeJF has a new favorite as of 18:10 on Apr 22, 2015 |

TheMaestroso posted:That's because popular culture lags behind scientific consensus rather egregiously. The official view of bipedal dinosaur posture had a major shift in the '60s and '70s to what we're familiar with now, but people have still seen the outdated concept in various media since then. The only real controversy comes from the average person being surprised when something familiar is changed (see: Pluto's classification). Not to mention that... how long have we known dinosaurs were largely feathered? Although to be honest I think plenty of people know that and just stick with the old image because it's cooler.

kinmik posted:You sure you're not talking about Adventure Time? Zach Callison isn't exactly a kid anymore, and he does affect his voice to play Steven. Jeremy Shada, who voices Finn, started out when he was a kid and you can almost pinpoint the exact moment he hit puberty while working on the show. I dunno, I'm not trying to call you out or anything. Well, Callison is, what, 16? His voice is still a fair bit higher pitched than an adult naturally. But yeah, he does affect Steven's voice, it's just pretty close to his normal voice still. Which is fortunate because it let them tweak it into something much better partway through season one.
