There is no such thing as pedophilia in animals because it is a
psychiatric disorder and there’s no evidence having sole or primary attraction to pre-adult members of their species.
And what you’ve purposely left out is that this behaviour in bonobos was observed only between individuals in their late juvenile/ early adolescent periods in response to changes in social circumstances. [1]
So nice try because I know full well this is an attempt to compare homosexual behaviour and preference in animals to pedophilia. Homosexual preferences and behaviours are found across all taxa and have a range of adaptive benefits, especially in social species such as primates, unlike juvenile sexual behaviour that has been found only in bonobos.
Straight people just seem to be projecting your pedophilia comparisons on to us. So die mad about it.
you’re telling me, if left unharmed, lobsters survive the ravages of time and gain progressively more fuck power as it goes on
Literally the only reason they are so small is overfishing and we are eating them essentially as toddlers. This is how big they are suppose to be.
Humans have bigger brains and the ability to walk upright; lobsters get to live forever.
Seems fair.
This is how Ebirah, Horror of the Deep came to be
He went uneaten for so long he grew large and powerful enough to battle Godzilla, which is the true goal of every lobster 😀
Immortal eldritch beasts. *considers starting a cult*
Ooooooooo
How does one go about joining your Lobster Cult
Sacrifice lots and lots of plaid things… The gay plaid lobster shall reign supreme!!
< CHANTS OMINOUSLY
They’re gonna be real mad when they realize we’ve been eating their toddlers
Lobsters do eventually die of natural causes, but only when they grow so big that their bodies can no longer support their own mass. They also grow at varying speeds depending on the amount of food available. You could keep a lobster alive and healthy for probably several hundred years if you carefully moderated its food intake for its whole life- enough to keep it fed and growing without it growing at maximum speed.
From the Facebook pages of Project Coyote/Classic Cars USA:
Last week on my way to work in the early morning, a coyote darted in front of my car and I hit it. I heard a crunch and believed I ran over and killed it. Upon stopping at a traffic light by my work, a construction woman notified me that there was in fact a coyote still embedded in my car. When I got out to look, this poor little guy was looking up and blinking at me. I notified Alberta fish and wildlife enforcement right away who came to rescue him. Miraculously, he was freed and had minimal injuries despite having hitched a ride from Airdrie to Calgary at highway speeds! Their biologist checked him over and gave him the good to go. They released him in Kananaskis. Clearly mother nature has other plans for this special little guy! -Georgie Knox
FOOD CHAIN, BABYYYyYyy
This is the moment when you really want a car to be registered in Northeim, Germany.
I had to look this up. Not only is it not fake, it happened another time with another coyote, and once with an eagle stuck in a luggage rack. Sometimes animals are simultaneously very lucky and extremely unlucky.
Termites are just cockroaches with a fancy social life
Reordering demotes one infamous insect group to being a mere branch of an equally infamous one
BY SUSAN MILIUS
Termites are the new cockroach… Literally.
The Entomological Society of America is updating its master list of insect names to reflect decades of genetic and other evidence that termites belong in the cockroach order, called Blattodea.
As of February 15, “it’s official that termites no longer have their own order,” says Mike Merchant of Texas A&M University in College Station, chair of the organization’s common names committee. Now all termites on the list are being recategorized.
The demotion brings to mind Pluto getting kicked off the roster of planets, says termite biologist Paul Eggleton of the Natural History Museum in London. He does not, however, expect a galactic outpouring of heartbreak and protest over the termite downgrade. Among specialists, discussions of termites as a form of roaches go back at least to 1934, when researchers reported that several groups of microbes that digest wood in termite guts live in some wood-eating cockroaches too.
Once biologists figured out how to use DNA to work out genealogical relationships, evidence began to grow that termites had evolved as a branch on the many-limbed family tree of cockroaches…
Okay so this guy on YouTube that goes by Ants Canada has golden crazy ants in a big terrarium and he added pitcher plants in the hopes that it would help to naturally cull some of the ants except the ants fucking started feeding the pitcher plants the leftover cockroach parts so they could get hopped up on the juice the pitcher plants secrete.
My fucking mind is blown! They just figured this out naturally within two days of the pitcher plants being introduced.
[rain pouring] [thunder rumbling] [car horn blaring] “go on. wheyyyyyyy!! Oh no.” [in distance: “YOU IDIOT”, uproarious laughter] “why would you go through that. what are you doing. ahhh no, he’s actually floating!” “well of course he is. what a fucking bellend!” “what a knobhead!” “fucking hell.”
Frogs don’t actually have long zappy tongues like in cartoons. Instead, the tongue is anchored in the front of the mouth, rather than the back, and can be flipped out like this to grab nearby food.
