chances of this are 1 in 1000
at 1200 elo chances improve a lot
you have to consistently be at a certain level for the rating to mean much
i used to drop a lot in elo
everyone does
ye it happens
im playing unranked recently just so i can play against higher elo players more
just like get your elo higher then so you can face them đ
its also training to play against mfs on my elo level
i wanna cruise past 1500 once i return to ranked
cba to go up and down
B57 just took off from Houston
with this performance i could have theoretically beaten an international master who had a below average performance but i am very inconsistent
sometimes ill play like a 1300 elo player or worse
which is why the elo keeps going up and down depending on the day
i lost 200 in a day and gained 200 the next
nice
i lwk lost like 900 in one day đ
but got it back up somehow
over like 2 weeks
.
i lost a lot
Thatâs like losing 90 games in a row
pregnancy is hard on your brain dont judge me đ
Iâd call it a day after 10 losses otherwise my brain would go crazy
Typically you lose more elo if youâre against higher level opponents, in my experience
my ego is too big for that
My ego hurts too but I realise that it will hurt way more if I continued
I remember dreaming about this one game I lost
Irritated me all night
yeah but like i had to get a win to redeem myself
plus i can just blame all the losses on external factors
Story as old as time
Thatâs always how I ended up losing the most elo
Or ended up playing until 4am
i won eventually
and then went on a winning streak the next day
and the day after
and the day after
How do you join the community challenge Spring Flight?
Guys yk the spring flight do i have to wait till the timer is up or smt
To get reqard
Reward*
yes
How to do Spring Flight
I contributed to it
just shoot water fowl
just take part shoot waterfowl. it does count but for some reason its different at the moment ive reported it but it should still work and you get your rewards as long as you kill a waterfowl and pass harvest check
and the platform reaches 100 percent
im surprised its not been talked about tbh
Ohhh ok.
It's 100% rn
ahh cool what platform you on ?
Ps5
So as long as I've harvested a waterfowl in any server, it counts as partaking?
have you shot a waterfowl ?
I killed 79 things for it
ah right does it say anything for you ?
Which reserve do you find waterfowl btw?
like almost all of them
I just killed greylag lmao
yeah youll get the reward when its over haha
Wait I saw a lvl 3 merriam in a zone when it was fleeing but I didn't get the zone and I think ik it's zone location but I want a dime turkey đ
Ok
right so it shows your contribution after you finished and the platform you on when it hits 100 percent thanks !
Yep np :p
pc is currently at 96 percent so cant see mine yet
Kk
Should I place down decoys for this and use electronic caller?
Rest*
10-14 is good for daytime
Theyâve got other times but itâll be light out around then
Kk so Abt 12 or 12;30 ish
i think it changes on all the maps
It's like 11-15 or somethin and then they have a long nightime one
Te awaroa I'm on
Except theyâre on Te hunting merriams so it doesnât in this case lol
Wasnât trying to confuse them
True
Set it to 12:30
That should work
yeah its best in the middle of times usually
How do ik if there coming in if I can't see em
Time to buy a deluxe ground blind ;-;
Electronic yes
I'm using the deluxe ones because I haven't got the ones with no roof
Ahhh got you. Work with what ya got then for sure lol
The waterfowl/no roof ones are just nice so you can have more viewing angles
I placed it 40 m away or else I wouldn't be able to see em but ik it's probs gonna spook them
Dont have any zones for the one I'm going for either ;/
So I placed it in a random place
They just need to be nearby with the decoys
Here
They have like a 400m diameter iirc
Or 500? Smthn like that. You can check in your inventory lol
Been a min since I checked the range on turkeys
I think it's 400
The decoys?
Yea I believe so as well. Some of them have weird ranges different from others so I donât quite remember if that was perhaps one lol
Yes
Hmmmm 500 m
Ah yes. Tis one lol
It'd be pretty cool if we could have deer decoys to attract them but Idk
How long do these turkeys take to come in
3 hrs
.
How long they take to come in
Wait a few mins
Not too long usually
Caller and decoy helps attract
I like using that one caller to make em vocalize and see if theyâre within 200m yet, if nothing shows up for a while with that or at the decoys then I find a diff spot
I have a feed zone nearby like 1.21 km away
js run up n blast with a shotgun
Na
Just a note sometimes the manual callers donât function as intended. Turkeys will just sit there. Turkey AI needs help bad lol
That particular one wonât be in the range of the decoys but youâll get plenty of chances if youâre in Turkey territory in general
Also do they needa be flying to get score?
Nope
the 2 lakes
on right side
where fallow drink
i always have em there early morning
I might try that I think that's where I saw one of the lvl 3s
Yeah ima reset up there.
What part of it are they there
Do they care abt pressure btw
Is every 9-11 kg a lvl 3
how can i complete the wounded one mission ive been trying for 3 hours
Bre all the turkeys I'm seeing rn are female
:/
And a lvl 2 male I don't want himđ
How would ik if they are albino or leucistic because of light brown
Shoot the lvl 2 anyway lol it could respawn good
Every kill is a potential trophy respawn homie
Youll know
Trust me
Slight differences lol look em up on the COTW companion app n ish
could sombody kindly tell me how to find the wounded reindeer in the wounded one mission
I just shot 3đ
Oh
are these worth killing
Sounds and tracks you can find blood some times
Yea
are they diamonds
no, diamond is 255.09
ok bet
ill save them then
ty
Uh I can't find this turkey
is the 270 good for whitetail
Nope, some level 2s with that weight estimate can be diamond though
Oo I found a lvl 2 that goes 9-11
It's alright, on the weaker side of 4-8 rifles but it does good
Diamond is 4.62 for em I believe
Ye its 4.62 for all turkeys
Because 4s usually go up past 4
Not dyslexic I swear lol
They can but itâs very rare. Theyâll usually have a score that goes up to 5 or 6 instead
What's the best DLC weapon?
Yeah, 4 means it'll be 4 point somethin
Depends on what ya want
Why am I brain fogging so hard rn
Only have enough to get 1 pack :c
They go on sale pretty frequently so no biggie, ainât like the others are going anywhere
Wasn't expecting it to be dime
What kinda weapons are ya interested in?
Mainly riffles
with atleat 4 bullets
What's the purpose of dogs?
will the m1 grand one shot a whitetail from 200-250 meters away
Okay, I think the bolt action pack would be a good choice
They can track, retrieve, and point out prey for you
Or even the hunter power pack
Might help to consider what classes youâre going for as well, Genos
That can narrow down your selection
Zone WITH ALL FEMALES.
Welcome to turkeys.
đ
Gotta find the good zones
I NEED T-T-TO OBLITERATE
will the m1 grand one shot a whitetail from 200-250 meters away
I missed all of my shots...
Yeah donât see why not
Practice makes progress
Keep tryin lol
Takes practice especially when theyâre flyin out
YK WHAT RED DEER ARE BEING HUNTED NOW
Banteng and moose/bears
oh so i dont have to get 150
Bolt action pack for sure
Youâll love the 375 ngl
Or you could pick up the most recent pack
đâbelching_babyâđ [HUNT], tysm i didnt think of blood trails
Has a good .500 in it for class 8/9 but you wonât be able to hit black bear ethically
.375 from bolt action is my fav for all 3 of those ngl itâll make quick work of them
First time using the 308 after a while
.375 is also my favorite for 7-9
I take the .500 though when I don't need cover class 7
Yall since when was there an ethyristic red deer fur-
Since an update or two ago
Goofy roomba
So like, the xbox360 era was the best right?
Same
for gaming or
Oh are these the rare furs for them?blue ones
In general
As a ps player icl it was pretty peak
Yep
Kk
But not the best
Xbox360 kinect
I couldnt find the emoji
đŁď¸
I need a new xbox360
Ur welc
So I can play kinectimals
Dang I remember that one
Never had one but I remember it was huge when it came out. And then⌠promptly fell off lol
The Kinect itself that is
Cool tech
They were doing something nobody else really was at the time
Doing g1 red deer grind idc what anybody says I'm shooting every male i see
Already got an 8 mythical
Two things I always will remember about the xbox 360 era was Minecraft and the black ops lobbies
Good times..
HAHAHHAHA LVL 3 ITS BEAUTIFUL
Red deer? lol
The humble solo g1:
Yeđ
Im glad I found my g1 red deer because it was a solo..
Let the wind take you, homie
Spread those wings lol
You can do anything you set your mind to
I was watching cotw on yt in class and my screen got senso blocked đ
I shot the lvl 3 and a lvl 5 i think
Idk what that is but maybe pay attention in class bro lol you can watch ish outside of it
đ
Buttt ittt wassss englishh
English is important
OMG LOL
Ik but boring
Big male right there
Fr bigger then that g1
Arguably one of the most important classes tbh
Absolute tank
Like for general learning
Help.
How did you get a g1 so early?? Dang
I can't find the blood for lvl 5
?
The lvl 3 lol discord didnât reply
Crzy
Very true
Still boringđš
Still worth paying attention to
Some things in life are going to be boring and annoying but ya still gotta do em
What I was gonna say
Okđ
It can be hard to think past graduation and look into your actual future when youâre as young as you are (not trying to be condescending, genuinely itâs just true) but the things you are learning right now- even if they seem boring/stupid- are setting you up for success later in life
Even if you donât get a typical job
They help frame your brain and mindset
There we go another lvl 8 red deer
Oki
Hopefully they turn into a 9 đĽł
Ye I absolutely LOVE the dime red deer they are gigantic
I've only got one before grinding it was already there.
Oh I forgot to place a tent ok the other side of this lake for red deer so i can't claim em
I'll do it later
3rd lvl 8 dead
Defo starting to get kills faster then I used tk
To
8 kills rn
Usually took me abt 1 hr to get 5
đ
@hoary falcon How do I become a mod?
Helps to have good tent placement and ish
Dude stop pinging staff đ
Yep
Fr
I don't even think they're taking applications
They open applications sometimes. Wait for the announcements
They just chose more mods recently in the last like 6 months so probably not any time soon
No.
Suit yourself but youâre more likely to get banned for what youâre doing. They arenât going to consider someone whoâs breaking a literal rule of the server lol
is it normal to be 130 kills into a fallow grind and already have 4 diamonds stacked?
Yeah
Not common but normal yeah
dang i never had this much luck when i last tried grinding
i also shot a level 4 that was .55 under diamond đ
This made no sense lol my bad
Yes.
Depends on RNG and where your population is at, numbers/hm wise. Dunno what map youâre on but, for example, fallow on Te Arawoa have a smaller population which makes it easier to pop them quicker
Yep, like muleys on Askiy
Btw can I get rid of fog because it's annoying ;-;
also how come 2 of my zones have just stopped respawning?
I think so?
yeah te awaroa
Any setting?
Change your time to half past or exactly on the hour
If itâs already one of those, do the other
Procavia capensis
I would imagine it's in either graphics or display
Itâs been a min since Iâve done it but that was always the trick
ah a third one has just gone too
Oh you mean an actual toggle on pc lol you can clear the fog by just changing time too. Itâs what us console scrubs have to do lol
Wheres that
I know you can turn off heat haze but I can't remember if fog is an option
Whatâs a good map to introduce my girlfriend to the game?
I'm gonna look real quick
Sundapartan LMAO
Layton is fine, if you have em Vurhonga, Silver Ridge and Askiy are easy
Why sundrapartan?
Great idea lol
Yeah I have all of those
Jk probs te or smth that has animals what won't kill u
Ohhh cause sundra has animals that attack right
I'd say any of those are pretty easy maps for a beginner
Let her get jumped by tiger lol
What animals would she like? Or are there any sheâs into
Yep, tigers
Yeđ
Just looking for something that would be easy for her to kill đ
Her aim is a bit questionable and she doesnât have the best weapons or any skills/perks
Bahahaha the other suggestions ripvanwinkle mentioned are pretty good then
Yea itâs like that when youâre a newbie lol sheâll get the hang of it
Askiy is pretty good for a map to start on it has small game mid game and big game.
Yeah Iâll try asky and silver then
I usually suggest giving folks smthn to hunt that they actually like, to motivate them
Or even a map theyâll just enjoy walking around, looking for things
Askiy is a great one
You both would have great fun im sure lol
Appreciate it you lot
Appreciate it
if i think a fallow deer is going to troll, should i leave it or shoot it
or does the score matter more than the actual trophy rating
By the way it's in the video settings, "volume fog quality"
Is that only pc?
No problem, happy hunting!
I dunno, I'm on pc
Dang it's not here on ps5đ
That sucks
Only got these
a fourth zone just stopped respawning đ
I usually do the same, but some guy got mad at me for not choosing for him, now I'm insecure about it lol
Shoot it if u feel like it's gonna troll
Donât be insecure lol thatâs their problem đ
Wild to get mad at someone for something like that
dang okay
If itâs particularly loooorge you could perhaps keep it since fallow are pretty forgiving with hm but yea typically youâll want to shoot them
Youâll get more legit dimes donât worry
I know, but I imagine it's a little annoying when someone asks what's a good dlc map and I answer "whatever you're interested in"
Somebody got a jaguar guysđ đĽ
Huh
Think of it like youâre making space for them by killing the fake one lol
On parqueđ đĽ
Check trophies lmao
Whatchu mean?
I dunno much about grinding but I believe that's a common issue
Definitely not broken
does anybody know a fix?
Unfortunately I don't, but there are quite a few folks in here who probably do
shoot them all leave for a day or two and come back maybe
That'll just delete the zone entirely and make em move
But I dunno if the males would reappear with em
shoot the females too?
males
oh, thats the problem, 4 of my zones now dont have any males in them
They would unless theyâre solos
You search the rest of your map yet?
where would they go?
If you do that and donât find anything, all you can do is keep shooting what you can
So any shooters you have just kill them
turn into solos?
Huh
Ainât think those r in the game âŚ
Some of them might have been sneaky solos
Theyâre posting AI pics Iâm fairly certain, thereâs one in g1 chat too of a g1 lion
i havent checked all exteriors but the ones i did check hadnt had any new males, ill keep looking and see
Has fudged writing and weird graphical issues that look like it was ran thru an AI shredder
đđ
Lol
Show
đ¤Ł
Yeah always a good idea to check when you notice things missing
I love how ai canât write . Simple numbers
Or how it fudged the username lol
He looks like plastic đ
That's terrible! They deserve a proper education like everyone else đ˘
No more artificial machine learning . I will be teaching the machines myself in a CLASSROOM. In a CIVILISED manner
No bot left behind
There will be HOMEWORK. And assignments . For my machine learners
Stellaris predicted this
My mum told me this morning she put photos of me through chat gpt and my face dropped
So do polar bears
Alrighty đŹ
nah fk em shoot em bears
Ya letâs not go that far đ
REF DO SM
My jaw hit the floor in just utter despair
Casinos going out of business after AI picture generation old people's attention instead of them
white bears dont do shi they js sit there
Actually nobody is shooting the bears the ai is overheating and the glaciers are melting so the ice melts and the polar bears drown because of aiđ¤
guys why did cotw only add the black n brown bears to shoot but not the white ones
Shot a whole 4 wolves this evening
.
Thrilling stuff
Ngl I love having ranch with pizza
same
questions must be asked tho
I've never tried ranch bc I'm britishđ
what is going on in here brođ
So many!! Beautiful
And I don't see any where I live in my area
bo'ol o' wa'o
Idk but I wish it would stop honestly đ
THEIR BEING RACIST TO THE BEARS
exactly
me too bro fym âbo'ol o' wa'oâ đ
I don't think anybody says bo'ol o' wa'o
And why the o at the endđ
ragebaiting the english, respect
ITS ACTUALLY BO'L O WO'AH
It's okay but you're not missing out on much. Its kind of like ketchup where too much can overtake the original foods flavor
cuz british dont pronounce the L or t or r in words
Would you like some 'ea?
Americans speak English btw-
Itâs a cuppa you know this
I need a cuppa
I speak Seamuslandia
Its chewsday innih?
đ
what is the relevancy of that to my joke wee man
Nah its Thursday chap
this chat is triggering my britishness get a mod to nuke the chat please
FR LOL
Grim was the only one in chat
grim save us
They canât nuke it Iâm pretty sure theyâre from the same place đ
Weâre SOL
the english dont even put haggis and square sausages in their fry ups, genuinely depressing
everyday i have a haggis for my dinner
itâs pretty difficult since i have to search my entire irl map to get one
Square sausage mmmm
your toilet must look like a jackson pollock
christ the number that'd do on your stomach is wild
oh boy you donât wanna know
only good british thing is the show peaky blinders cant think of anything else
the trauma my toilet holds
Wild, you say
OOO STONEY A LVL 5 RESPAWNED AS A 8
We love to see it đĽł
can i shoot my level 6-7's
genuinely the worst thing i've ever watched
Its peak bro
peaky blinders is just aura farming and whispering
yes
hows that peak
Postman Pat
ill never forgive peaky blinders for the sigma edits during covid
Kipper the dog
its the most boring tripe, it just lands flat
shameless seasons1-5 is the best UK tv show to date
YESSSSSSS
seasons 6-11 turned it into an absurdist comedy with mild glimpses of what it once was
horrid henry solos all of them
Fr
this is my frank gallagher
the true frank
the american one is but a cheap copy
they did tommy shelby bad in the movie
Yo wsp guys
@shrewd apex 9 legendary!
Might troll i think
233-279
It's probs 50-50
Is it a guaranteed troll?
I think it's small rack this 9
small rack better than no rack
Yep
are level 4 male beavers rare?
sorry about all the trolls guys, it's on purpose
STUPID RED DEER
that rack never makes it
are those racks garunteed trolls?
my cousin found a diamond red deer that was split big rack and small rack and somehow it made it
Idk their racks
Can sm1 educate me om red deer racks
Non g1s tho
@cobalt spear whereâs your chart, you got that diamond chart
Yes, guaranteed trolls and they never make it
the one u shot can be seen on level 8's and it never makes diamond
đ
Dang:[
TROLL NUMBER 1 OF THE GRIND
@long otter hereâs your diamond racks
we need a proper south american map in general
Iâm probably tweaking but I swear Iâve shot a diamond red fox with the 243 polymers
oh alr
Small rack
Did I get that 1
and what's the problem..?
Yeahh
Its 3-6
Dang
I did that too like a while back on the mission level 9 coyote. 6 years back orso
Or 7 even
The 243? Nah, it's 2-6
Is it OK if I took your images and zoomed into the deer with their rack and wrote what racks they are
Ofcourse dude. Use them however you want to
cotw new reserve hint time
I just made these lol
Yeah we will see
I was writing with my fingers laying down btwđ
Hoping asia or something
the small rack and big rack dont look much different in this pic ngl
south america
I dont need it anyway. I know all the things with just 1 quick glaze
Kk
Ellesmere Island as a new map thoughts?
I know. Big rack is just alot more thicker on the bottom compared to the small rack. Alot more massier to. Thats the only differents
Idk what type of map I want next tbh it's between vurhomga 2.0 or rainforest
Where at in South America you hoping for?
Think about the zero trees and bushes
brazil or patagonia
The thought of an Amazon rainforest map worries me to be honest
Also what abt the distance between the two antlers?
rainforest and plains
I think weâve begged for Vurhonga 2.0 long enough they might actually give it to us
When wider it scores higher.
not super super dense
Thats it
Kk
Frrr I need animals that are really good we need revamped lion and African leopards and stuff like that
It would be hard to make a rainforest not that dense
I don't think they'd add lions leopard and cheetahs om the same map tho lmao
Fr u wouldn't know where any animal is
I just need my missions to work. The game has the first mission registered as completed, but I cannot move to the second mission
They can though. Just make 3 different areas that overlap a little bit on the edges
271 is crzy for small rack
That's what worries me when folks ask for an Amazon map, if they do it right and do it justice, most folks would hate how hard it would be to hunt in and would complain
Also if they added jaguars we'd get jumped every 2 seconds.
WHERE WOULD WE PLACE OUR TENTS?????
All I'm hoping for is vurhonga 2.0 with revamped lions
Nowhere lol
Give us lion king ah
Nah thats big rack
Oh
Both are
We're due something for Africa, it's been too long
I kinda want somewhere other than "Vurhonga 2.0" but I wouldn't complain if that's what we get
i just want a patagonia map
in the trees
Like a different name, revamped map revamped lions
We technically have one lol
That wouldn't work btw-
Not a proper one
jaguars are scary bro they'd be like the tigers but more scary
It's a game ranch
That's why I said technically
They should be less scary if they add them
nah the scarier the better
The scarier the more nightmares....
I mean compared to tigers, jaguar attacks are extrememely rare, and they would rather slink off than attack you
thats what i was saying earlier
If they add jaguars they should be like snow leopards in my opinon, very hard to find
disagree lol
nahh jaguars are like the 3rd largest cat in the world
Yeah, but they don't attack as much as tigers
snow leopard are tiny compared to them
Domt the also hunt caiman irl and go for their neck
Dont*
They are, but they don't like to be found, size doesn't have much to do with that
I'd love to see one drag a capybara or a caiman down the river in cotw..
Gangs of otters scare away jaguars fyi
neither do tigers tbh
No way scarecrow got a pet trexđ
No, but attacks by tigers are far more common
thats when tigers come to human areas
Not always
but if we go go a jaguars habitat
when humans go to tiger areas
not really
Wouldn't a melanistic jaguar basically be a black pantherđ
exactly
clown take
black jag and leopard
Yes, it is
black tigers are black panthers
Technically true too
black lions are black panthers
i mean tigers cant be fully fully black
in the wild
only pseudo mela
black snow leopards are black panthers
Psuedomelanism is still melanism
closest thing we have
but a black jaguar
đ
It wouldn't be wrong to call a psuedomela tiger a black panther
its not fully black
Still ain't wrong
its not wrong its not right
neither are black jaguars
They're a lot closer to fully black than tigers though
theyre usually a shade of brown with the rosette spots
Mf ran to yukon valleyđ
they black enough for us humans
have yall heard the theory
siberan tigers in alaska
That's a theory?
there may be a very very small population
Never heard that
I'm highly sceptical
i mean its def possible
they swim
they cross the strait when its frozen or swim across
Yea Iâm with ripvanwinkle lol
hi tyk
Imagine walking through Alaska and seeing a cheeseball running at u at 40 mph
All âevidenceâ so far has been fake so Iâd be intrigued
Pull out the gandhare rifle on that thingđ
tbh the theory for how apes got to the new world is like much less likely so i wouldnt dismiss it
theres apes in the new world?
Yes
Wym new world-?
Squirrel monkeys, capuchins, sakis
the americas
those arent apes
these are not apes but good job
Forgot you said apes
only ape is bigfoot
the theory applies to monkeys too lol
youre an ape
Wait, what apes are in the Americas that ain't us?
Gorilla glue
Love that ish
it started as an april fool's joke by Alaska's Parks & Wildlife officers like 8 or 9 years ago
none, and we're the only ones that made it to the western hemisphere
I know lol seenât it
bigfoot
That's what I thought
best part was them posting it and then waiting 2 days then saying
YOUVE BEEN PUNK'D
-# ehehehehe
and this is why i dont study apes bc i cant read
It happens
we're going off of animals that are biologically known to exist tho
not to say that i dont think bigfoot could be feasible, just that as far as we currently known only our species made it to the americas
Heâs too evil
although recent discoveries in siberia mean maybe that wasnt the case
that and our arrival period got shoved back 10,000 years by the white sands prints
Seamus is skunkape
More skunk than ape
someone brought a gabino into work today
nah, hes nondescript
all skunk no ape
this is amusing given his obsession with shellfish considering that skunks regularly forage for them lol
I can smell him from here, and he's like 6 states away
i wasnt gonna say this cuz i wasnt sure if it was true lol
but i heard it somewhere lol
bro ngl cotw should add a mode where u can change the century ur hunting in all the way to the ice age to present day
he does unironically love clams, oysters, mussels, crayfish
hunt extinct species
anything retro/prehistoric should be its own game tbh
Sounds cool but incredibly complex
I agree
i hate when people say crayfish đ
crawfish
crawdads
banishment worthy
Weird thing to hate
i have lots of weird pet peeves
Too bad your weaker name color cannot banish me :C
both are valid names
those the baby lobsters right?
crayfish is actually their broad neoclassification for their family since theyre basically mini freshwater lobster relatives
is this segregation?
is you serious rn?
đ
son
because thats a dumb take
đ
those tiny mini lobster right
crazy part is there are 3 different takes she could be talking about
in rivers
sorta
They aren't lobsters but yes
same shi
That's like saying lions and tigers are the same
they are ngl one js has stripes and the other has more hair
techically we are all very related in the grand scheme of things
worse actually
they only share an infraorder
at least lions and tigers are in the same genus
theyre farther from each other than we are from gibbons and siamangs iirc
we were talking about super domains instead of working today
Yeah but it's a simple answer lol
big truth
are leopards js african jaguars
no theyre entirely different cats
100% truth
deifferent build differnt head and jaw physiology
no
like very different
theyre related to lions and each other closer to tigers
even bananas
we share 50% dna with bananas
the vast majority of shared DNA is the basic housekeeping and structural stuff that allows for cells to maintain themselves
and ofc its individual genes not DNA sequence like Tyk said
in actuality when you remove the things that all multicellular lifeforms have
its more like
8%
if im not tripping then jags are actually in there own split
and most of them are again shared because theyre common to many terrestrial lifeforms for dealing with water intake/outtake etc
it's, I think, partly how we ae capable of using horse ligaments, and pig hearts successfully to replace ruined ones in humans
yus
this is correct
What did i just stumble onto
comapring horse relation to bannana is wicked lol
biology lore
(my grandmother has horse tendon/ligament in her ankle - she stepped funky years ago and the ankle joint basically imploded)
ow
ouchhhh
Yerh. Lost her balance and stuck her lifted foot backwards to catch herself and just
If I recall, jaguar's orgininated in eurasia, then made it to the americas. I should clarify this is multiple jaguar species over a decent amount of time
đĽ
being part horse is pretty cool tho
tru
i was lwk obbessed with horses as a little girl
Yeah the 1890s felt like yesterday
horses were a sleeper animal for me, didn't care for them until deep diving into their natural history....and red dead 2
so the only real new world big cat would be mountain lions and pumas
well
theyre not really big cats
they are cats of large size but not big cats
pumas are the largest small cat
I am in possesion of a jar filled to the brim with fine Caribbean soil
Panthera gombaszoegensis aka the eurasian jaguar crossed into south america and then came modern day jags
-# So... You have a jar of dirt?
the inbetween step being the
oh hell what was the species name
SMILODON DUH
it was something like antiquus that was basically a larger bodied modern jag
hecc
There was also the north american subspecies Panthera onca augusta during the ice age
do you have like fears of the cat or
is this about all the horrendous misinformation on its killing method
oh yeah augusta, thats the one i forgot
both
also for the record bc im a jerk smilodon and the modern day jaguar are hardly related
same family but thats about it
i recently found out that jags are compatible with mating with lions
If I recall, smilodon killed it's prey by winning against them in basketball
Smilodon populator is like a machine that all humans should be scared of
they fought with there beards
the latin name translates to blade toothed executioner if i remember right
source: I made it up
and guess what's inside it
worms
knifed tooth destroyer i think
carribean molecules
theres probably several possible translations but idk if theres a single one that isnt metal as hell
which i mean
fair
900lb cat standing close to 5 ft at the shoulder with foot long canine teeth
tbh if someone asked me how it willed i couldnt tell you bc there are so many seperate idea
it translates to Seamus toothed tiger
n still died out
@tropic leaf is actually a Smilodon
tends to happen when the forested and semi open pampas environments you depend on rapidly change and all your food dies
it was so metal it died
he could beat lebron in basketball
oh I have fair certainty because of recent descoveries from Brazil and Argentina
mega funa started dying out cuz climate
killing wounds on things like sloths and mauchrachenia
sorry about that, my fault really
specifically gouges and complete punctures through vertebrae matching its tooth dimensions
that showed it was more brutal than we though
as it used the rearward serrations as a saw after plunging the teeth through the neck
it killed by partial or near complete decapitation by biting through the neck then dragging beckwards, severing major blood vessels and often the spine
lwk it seems like the same method used in modern lions but just with better weapons
there was also a secondary puncturing method
on animals without accessible throat like glyptodonts they used them as pickaxes and drove them straight through bone
if smildon lived in Africa, things certainly would be different
colossal should bring it back
btw the whole thing about the teeth being fragile is hella bogus
"if smilodon lived today things would be different"
there were relatives in africa
the higher proportion of dentin to enamel in the tooth made it more able to cope with compression and flexion while keeping a blade design
hell, it evolved from something that came from Africa most likely
if they were relatives, i can see why they went extinct
probably came from crossings of Megantereon
i wish american cheetah stayed đ
which itself along with predecessors radiated outward into eurasia from africa
ngl, if I could bring back an extinct species, it would probably be chalicotherium. Gorilla horse sounds like a crazy concept
crazy thing is, with the exception of populator in south america, they were middle and lower level semi-apex predators in the americas
we brought dire wolves back sooo
homotherium and the american lion both have isotope analysis showing the hunting of larger prey
wasnt til S. populator we saw a truly apex smilodon
those are just slightly larger gray wolves
no, thats what we call advertising fraud lol
ain't nothing dire about them
we'll see how the dodo turns out
more to the point genetic studies of dire wolf remains show they were their own thing among canids, being closest to modern jackals
The colossal dire wolves was just a lie to convince the investors to keep paying them
reconstructions off of skeletons also show them being much more like a huge robust dhole or other asiatic wild dog than a wolf
fatalis
Yep
fatalis was still middle-lower; it favored horses and some of the smaller bison species as a mid-tier generalist analogous to modern leopards in africa
idk why people invest in that
the largest bison along with proboscideans and sloths were taken by american lions and homotherium
bc it was much smaller but it was apex during its time
I think it's because they actually believe bad science
homotherium actually specialized in mammoths along the expanse of the steppe
its also largely cause it was a woodland cat
we'll see how colossal does with the dodo
and most of the big stuff was on the steppe where the lions and homotherium were
can EW add swords to COTW?
spears
Imagine fighting a tiger like that
yeah but like lets not start bringing stuff back
also its terrifying that it was lower ecologically than american lions when fatalis was still like 450lbs
like they made a movie about this
size of a large modern lion and it was like half the weight of the heavyweight cat in its environment
then there was gracilis being deadass jaguar sized
yus, so it was a regional apex in woodlands afaik, but it had harsh competition in the more open environments of the steppe
I think it depends on the species and it's cause for extinction, but if I had to chose between "de-extinction" and focusing on extant species, I'd pick the later
larger than modern tigers tbh, siberians even tend to only hit that weight when obese from overfeeding in captivity
and then came populator
evolution said "what if same cat but BIGGER, like twice as heavy"
I mean, if you think about it, a giraffe kind of looks like a monster
