Never for Lil Bub. Bub's medical condition is actually aided by the vibration of airplanes/cars/etc. The vibration helps break up the blastocysts caused by osteo-petrosis. So yay, more Bub for everybody!

Well yeah, people raise pigeons. Pigeons were one of the first domesticated birds, it's just that people kept letting them loose in the wild so urban areas quickly get a sizable feral population. We've spent at least the last 5000 years breeding and training pigeons to fulfill various purposes, from delivering messages (homing) to being food (squab) to just looking pretty (fancy pigeon breeds).

Be nice to pigeons.

This is DCI Gordon Lightfoot. DCI stands for 'Detective Constable Inspector'. He(?) is a western hognose snake and he is little baby snake and only six inches long and he is a good snake and oh gosh look at that little almost puppy like inquisitive face d'aaawwww.

Yeah, I looked up some pictures of pythons after posting that. None of them were really suitable for the thread, obviously. Seriously, a whole deer?

I'm so sorry about Tico, friend I didn't mean to make you sad. Hopefully, I can redeem myself with this live rendition of




I have no idea ! I'm pretty sure she is a mix. She's obviously part tabby, but she also has a spotted belly:




Sorry it's a bit blurry, she always get a little excited when I get out the camera. But yeah, spotted belly, and a white chin. I really don't know my cat breeds that well either (All Cats Are Beautiful), but from what I've seen of bengals, they're a bit more spotted than she is. But she is a sweetie. I always chalked up her aggressive-towards-plants nature to her just being a shithead teenager, because she has chilled out quite a bit these past few months. I got her loads of toys, and she was pretty satisfied with them after that. But still goes after the palm whenever she can. I've had to put it in a separate room because she just won't leave it alone.


(I don't think she thought much of American Horror Story though)

This is half-remembered, half-out-my-rear end, but from what I recall it's because their prey can't see the same colour spectrum so to them the snake is nigh-invisible in undergrowth/tree branches/forest floor. It's also true for undersea creatures as well.

That is also a gorgeous snake. Google says regal ringneck? Where do ones with this coloring live?

My bf gave me this book as a gift, it's full of beautiful and adorable sneks. Highly recommended: http://a.co/0NXGc8a

It's extremely hard to verify whether a species does a behavior in the wild, especially one as hard to track as Snow Leopards. That said, it's probably juvenile behavior they do in adulthood to destress. They do alright in captivity (we can breed them, at least) but it's not ideal for them since in the wild they have hunting ranges around 80 square miles or possibly more (they don't defend their territory that much from each other).

But then from their perspective it must be the best longest rear end time ever.

This is like 2% of Bengal ownership. Mostly it's waking up to find your everything that was on your desk has been moved to the floor and seeing your cat sitting proud on your 3D printer, gazing over his works.

Why domesticated foxes are genetically fascinating (and terrible pets)

quote:

“[You can be] sitting there drinking your cup of coffee and turning your head for a second, and then taking a swig and realizing, ‘Yeah, Boris came up here and peed in my coffee cup,’” said Amy Bassett, the Canid Conservation Center’s founder. “You can easily train and manage behavioral problems in dogs, but there are a lot of behaviors in foxes, regardless of if they’re Russian or U.S., <i>that you will never be able to manage</i>.”

They are cute, I'm sure we could find someone to fund bringing them back to where we could keep them as housepets. Then, when there's enough, then we crossbreed them with regular cats. We might even get a cat version of a corgi!
