Wildcard is a clownfiesta. They haven't been able to keep up their ETA ever. They kept their piloshophy of being one of the most unreliable dev team.
Like why Give ETA when all your history is about missing those and getting roflstomped because of this. This shows 2 things, they can't learn from their mistakes, and they are really bad at judging their capabilites/state of their development.
do u mean how some spino depictions have the sail with a little dip in the middle? its just another way to arrange the vertabrae
i prefer the back dip to this tbh
i heard somebody alreaddy started recreating it
Just got done with some beetle necromancy. Lots of them died in the pool and it made me sad so I brought them back

First Animal species of the day (58) :
Dragon mantis / (Stenophylla lobivertex)
Females of the species Stenophylla lobivertex have an inflatable green pheromone gland on their backs, presumably to attract male conspecifics.[2] It is unknown whether such an organ is found on other species in the genus, or indeed in other members of Mantodea.
Stenophylla is a genus of praying mantis in the subfamily Stenophyllinae, which is now placed in the family Acanthopidae. It the sole genus of the tribe Stenophyllini.
These three species belong to the genus Stenophylla:[3]
Stenophylla cornigera Westwood, 1843
Stenophylla gallardi Roy, 2005
Stenophylla lobivertex Lombardo, 2000
Not very much is known about them

Second Animal species of the day (59) :
American pika
The American pika (Ochotona princeps), a diurnal species of pika, is found in the mountains of western North America, usually in boulder fields at or above the tree line. They are herbivorous, smaller relatives of rabbits and hares.[6] Pikas have two different ways of foraging; they either directly consume food or they cache food in piles for the winter (haying).
Range :
Pikas are vocal, using both calls and songs to warn when predators are nearby and during the breeding season. Predators of the pika include eagles, hawks, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and weasels.
Recent studies suggest populations in the southwest United States are declining due to habitat loss and global warming.[7] Currently the American pika is considered a species of least concern and is still common in the northwestern United States and Canada .
The American pika can be found throughout the mountains of western North America, from central British Columbia and Alberta in Canada to the US states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, and New Mexico.[10] Of the 30 existing species of pika, it is one of only two which inhabit North America, along with the collared pika (O. collaris). In relation to the distribution of the American pika, the collared pika is located farther north of those regions and is separated by a gap of about 500 miles (800 km) extending across British Columbia and Alberta.
Pikas inhabit talus fields that are fringed by suitable vegetation on alpine areas. They also live in piles of broken rock.[11][13] Sometimes, they live in man-made substrate such as mine tailings and piles of scrap lumber. Pikas usually have their den and nest sites below rock around 0.2–1 m in diameter, but often sit on larger and more prominent rocks. They generally reside in scree near or above the tree line. Pikas are restricted to cool, moist microhabitats on high peaks or watercourses.[13] Intolerant of high diurnal temperatures, in the northern portion of their range, they may be found near sea level, but in the south they are rare below 2,500 m (8,200 ft).[11] Pikas rely on existing spaces in the talus for homes and do not dig burrows. However, they can enlarge their homes by digging.
The American pika is a generalist herbivore. It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles, and fireweed. Although a pika can meet its water demand from the vegetation eaten, it does drink water if it is available in its environment.
Pikas have two different ways of foraging; they directly consume food (feeding) or they cache food in haypiles to use for a food source in the winter (haying).[11] They feed throughout the year while haying is limited to the summer. Since they do not hibernate, pikas have greater energy demands than other montane mammals. They also make 13 trips per hour to collect vegetation when haying, up to a little over 100 trips per day.[15] The timing of haying seems to correlate to the amount of precipitation from the previous winter.[16] Pikas start and then quit haying earlier in years following little snow and early spring. In areas at lower elevations, haying begins before the snow has melted at high altitudes; at higher elevations, haying continues after it ends in lower elevations.

A drunk girl just tried to climb through my window lol heard my window screen being messed with and heard it pop off and then I see her torso trying to climb through not realizing I was watching her took her a few seconds to register what was in my hand
did you shoot that human?
No, but I almost did, I was calm since I'm used to these kind of things so I just questioned her why she is breaking in my apartment lol. But if it had been a guy I think I would of reacted differently, my neighbor next to me is a girl who has a bunch of crazy friends who are girls and so yeah with fast thinking I assumed she was one of her friends, and she was. This is not the first time I've been in situations like this but this is the first time someone broken in the place I live now
Cool you could stay calm in this situation. I would freak out and probably pass out lol.
i would get my 7mm rifle and put a hole in their head
if that happens i would uh be super happy

First Animal species of the day (60) :
Giant anteater
The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is an insectivorous mammal native to Central and South America. It is one of four living species of anteaters, of which it is the largest member. The only extant member of the genus Myrmecophaga, it is classified with sloths in the order Pilosa. This species is mostly terrestrial, in contrast to other living anteaters and sloths, which are arboreal or semiarboreal. The giant anteater is 182 to 217 cm (5 ft 11+1⁄2 in to 7 ft 1+1⁄2 in) in length, with weights of 33 to 50 kg (73 to 110 lb) for males and 27 to 47 kg (60 to 104 lb) for females. It is recognizable by its elongated snout, bushy tail, long fore claws, and distinctively colored pelage.
Range
The giant anteater is found in multiple habitats, including grassland and rainforest. It forages in open areas and rests in more forested habitats. It feeds primarily on ants and termites, using its fore claws to dig them up and its long, sticky tongue to collect them. Though giant anteaters live in overlapping home ranges, they are mostly solitary except during mother-offspring relationships, aggressive interactions between males, and when mating. Mother anteaters carry their offspring on their backs until weaning them.
The giant anteater is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. It has been extirpated from many parts of its former range. Threats to its survival include habitat destruction, fire, and poaching for fur and bushmeat, although some anteaters inhabit protected areas. With its distinctive appearance and habits, the anteater has been featured in pre-Columbian myths and folktales, as well as modern popular culture.
The giant anteater can be identified by its large size, elongated muzzle, and long bushy tail.[15] It has a total body length of 182 to 217 cm (5 ft 11+1⁄2 in to 7 ft 1+1⁄2 in). Males weigh 33 to 50 kg (73 to 110 lb) and females weigh 27 to 47 kg (60 to 104 lb),[6][16][17] making the giant anteater the biggest extant species in its suborder. The head of the giant anteater, at 30 cm (12 in) long,[18] is particularly elongated, even when compared to other anteaters.[19] Its tubular snout, which ends in its tiny mouth opening and nostrils, takes up most of its head. Its eyes and ears are relatively small.[6] It has poor eyesight,[15] but its sense of smell is 40 times more sensitive than that of humans.

First Animal species of the day (61) :
Plains zebra
The plains zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchellii), also known as the common zebra, is the most common and geographically widespread species of zebra. Its range is fragmented, but spans much of southern and eastern Africa south of the Sahara. Six or seven subspecies have been recognised, including the extinct quagga which was thought to be a separate species. More recent research supports variations in zebra populations being clines rather than subspecies.
Range :
Their range is a fragmented from what it used to be …
.
Plains zebras are intermediate in size between the larger Grévy's zebra and the smaller mountain zebra and tend to have broader stripes than both. Great variation in coat patterns exists between clines and individuals. The plain zebra's habitat is generally, but not exclusively, treeless grasslands and savanna woodlands, both tropical and temperate. They generally avoid desert, dense rainforest and permanent wetlands. Zebras are preyed upon by lions and spotted hyenas, Nile crocodiles and, to a lesser extent, leopards, cheetahs and African wild dogs.
Plains zebras are a highly social species, forming harems with a single stallion, several mares and their recent offspring; bachelor groups also form. Groups may come together to form herds. The animals keep watch for predators; they bark or snort when they see a predator and the harem stallion attacks predators to defend his harem.
Plains zebras are nomadic and non-territorial, home ranges vary from 30 km2 (12 sq mi) to 600 km2 (230 sq mi), depending on the area and if the population is migratory. They are more active during the day and spend most of their time feeding. Other activities include dust bathing, rubbing, drinking and intermittent resting which is very brief. At night, zebra activity is subdued except when threatened by predators. They may rest or sleep laying down, while one individual keeps guard.
In 2016, the plains zebra was classified as near threatened by the IUCN. As of that year, the total population is estimated to be around 500,000

is this an extinct animal?
Thankfully not yet

cool
thats kinda like the saltwater crocodile

back in the 90s they were so threatended that i think only 200 remained
and now they broke a record of population even more then they were before they nearly went extinct
i think there is 900k now
Woah !!!!
They could have gone extinct in the 90s before we were born


they are also being actively hunted since they live near public rivers so they are protecting people
even that is not causing their population to go down thats how much they are
surprised that we havent seen any albinos in the wild yet (only 1 sightings and 2 captures of albino salties iirc)
1 is a big boi in a austrialian park
Rare
yeah they are SUPER rare
shows that if we want to save a animal from going extinct it will survive
yeah nature wants those to go extinct
Oh i got an idea next animal is panda
they are so stupid that they eat bamboo which they cant even digest half of while they are clearly carnivores
good idea
Horse
Ayo horse but illusionist

can you ride a zebra just like a horse? is it possible?
yes however they are extremely violent
there is a video of people attempting to use zebras as racehorses as a celebratory event at a racetrack
there was nothing particularly violent, they just had zero idea what to do and panicked lmao
hmm i see
i though zebras are cool minded
they are but since they are wild herbivores they have to be aggro

Second Animal species of the day (62) :
Giant Panda
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, sometimes panda bear or simply panda) is a bear species endemic to China.[4] It is characterised by its bold black-and-white coat and rotund body. The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the red panda, a neighboring musteloid. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda is a folivore, with bamboo shoots and leaves making up more than 99% of its diet.[5] Giant pandas in the wild occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.
Range :
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan, and also in neighbouring Shaanxi and Gansu.[8] As a result of farming, deforestation, and other development, the giant panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived, and it is a conservation-reliant vulnerable species.[9][10] A 2007 report showed 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country.[11] By December 2014, 49 giant pandas lived in captivity outside China, living in 18 zoos in 13 countries.[12] Wild population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild,[11] while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000.[13] Some reports also show that the number of giant pandas in the wild is on the rise.[14] By March 2015, the wild giant panda population had increased to 1,864 individuals.[15] In 2016, it was reclassified on the IUCN Red List from "endangered" to "vulnerable",[1] affirming decade-long efforts to save the panda. In July 2021, Chinese authorities also reclassified the giant panda as vulnerable.
The giant panda has often served as China's national symbol, appeared on Chinese Gold Panda coins since 1982 and as one of the five Fuwa mascots of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
The giant panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spends its life roaming and feeding in the bamboo forests of the Qinling Mountains and in the hilly province of Sichuan.[77] Giant pandas are generally solitary.[60] Each adult has a defined territory and a female is not tolerant of other females in her range. Social encounters occur primarily during the brief breeding season in which pandas in proximity to one another will gather.[78] After mating, the male leaves the female alone to raise the cub.
Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivoran, the giant panda's diet is primarily herbivorous, consisting almost exclusively of bamboo.[51] However, the giant panda still has the digestive system of a carnivore, as well as carnivore-specific genes,[55] and thus derives little energy and little protein from consumption of bamboo. The ability to break down cellulose and lignin is very weak, and their main source of nutrients comes from starch and hemicelluloses. The most important part of their bamboo diet is the shoots, that are rich in starch which they have a higher capability to digest than strict carnivores, and have up to 32% protein content.[56][57] During the shoot season, which lasts from April to August, they put on a lot of weight, which allows them to get through the nutrient-scarce period from late August to April, when they feed mostly on bamboo leaves.[58] Pandas are born with sterile intestines and require bacteria obtained from their mother's feces to digest vegetation.[59] The giant panda is a highly specialised animal with unique adaptations, and has lived in bamboo forests for millions of years

First Animal species of the day (63) :
Megalania (Varanus priscus)
💀Extinct💀
Megalania (Varanus priscus) is an extinct species of giant monitor lizard,[1] part of the megafaunal assemblage that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene. It is the largest terrestrial lizard known to have existed, reaching an estimated length of 3.5 to 7 metres (11.5 – 23 ft), and weighing between 97–1,940 kg (214–4,277 lb), but the fragmentary nature of known remains make estimates highly uncertain.
Range
Megalania is thought to have had a similar ecology to the living Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis). The youngest fossil remains of giant monitor lizards in Australia date to around 50,000 years ago.[2] The first indigenous settlers of Australia might have encountered megalania,[3] and been a factor in megalania's extinction.[4][2][5] While originally megalania was considered to be the only member of the titular genus "Megalania", today it is considered a member of the genus Varanus, being closely related to other Australian monitor lizards.
The lack of complete or nearly complete fossil skeletons has made it difficult to determine the exact dimensions of megalania.[7] Early estimates placed the length of the largest individuals at 7 m (23 ft), with a maximum weight of approximately 600–620 kg (1,320–1,370 lb).[11] In 2002, Stephen Wroe considerably downsized megalania, suggesting a maximum length of 4.5 m (15 ft) and a weight of 331 kg (730 lb) with averages of 3.5 m (11 ft) and 97–158 kg (214–348 lb),[12] decrying the earlier maximum length estimate of 7 m (23 ft) as exaggerations based on flawed methods. In 2009, however Wroe joined other researchers in raising the estimate to at least 5.5 m (18 ft) and 575 kg (1,268 lb).[13]
In a book published in 2004, Ralph Molnar determined a range of potential sizes for megalania, made by scaling up from dorsal vertebrae, after he determined a relationship between dorsal vertebrae width and total body length. If it had a long, thin tail like the lace monitor, then it would have reached a length of 7.9 m (26 ft), while if its tail-to-body proportions were more similar to that of the Komodo dragon, then a length around 7 m (23 ft) is more likely. Taking the maximal 7 m (23 ft) length, he estimated a weight of 1,940 kg (4,280 lb), with a leaner 320 kg (710 lb) being average.
Megalania is the largest terrestrial lizard known to have existed. Judging from its size, it would have fed mostly upon medium- to large-sized animals, including any of the giant marsupials such as Diprotodon, along with other reptiles and small mammals, as well as birds and their eggs and chicks.[citation needed] It had heavily built limbs and body, a large skull complete with a small crest between the eyes, and a jaw full of serrated, blade-like teeth.[8]
Some scientists regard with skepticism the contention that megalania was the only, or even principal, predator of the Australian Pleistocene megafauna.[14] They note that the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) has been implicated with the butchery of very large Pleistocene mammals, while megalania has not.[citation needed] In addition, they note that megalania fossils are extremely uncommon, in contrast to T. carnifex's wide distribution across Australian Pleistocene deposits. Quinkana, a genus of terrestrial crocodiles that grew up to 6 m and was present until around 40,000 years ago, has also been marked as another apex predator of Australian megafauna.

Second Animal species of the day (64) :
Bald eagle / (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.
Range :
The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon and snatches from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 4 m (13 ft) deep, 2.5 m (8.2 ft) wide, and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons) in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years.
Bald eagles are not bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The yellow beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown.
The bald eagle's natural range covers most of North America, including most of Canada, all of the continental United States, and northern Mexico. It is the only sea eagle endemic to North America. Occupying varied habitats from the bayous of Louisiana to the Sonoran Desert and the eastern deciduous forests of Quebec and New England, northern birds are migratory, while southern birds are resident, remaining on their breeding territory all year. At minimum population, in the 1950s, it was largely restricted to Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, northern and eastern Canada, and Florida.[35] From 1966 to 2015 bald eagle numbers increased substantially throughout its winter and breeding ranges,[36] and as of 2018 the species nests in every continental state and province in the United States and Canada.[37]
The majority of bald eagles in Canada are found along the British Columbia coast while large populations are found in the forests of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.[38] Bald eagles also congregate in certain locations in winter. From November until February, one to two thousand birds winter in Squamish, British Columbia, about halfway between Vancouver and Whistler. The birds primarily gather along the Squamish and Cheakamus Rivers, attracted by the salmon spawning in the area.[39] Similar congregations of wintering bald eagles at open lakes and rivers, wherein fish are readily available for hunting or scavenging, are observed in the northern United States.
The average lifespan of bald eagles in the wild is around 20 years, with the oldest confirmed one having been 38 years of age.[167] In captivity, they often live somewhat longer. In one instance, a captive individual in New York lived for nearly 50 years

The fredom bird who drinks oil!
They’re pretty cool birds. Relatively smart too.
I agree
Also they were about to go extinct way back in the early 1900
But thank god they didn’t
They go back and forth on those lists, I think. There was a livestream you could watch for a while of an eagle nest. The project may still be around.
nvm found it. its the FutureCaveman guy he explains everything and read it out loud.
This is a bird?? This looks like a mid size dino. Look at those claws. Nature at its finest. The perfect beast.
Oh there are a lot of those now it's really easy to set up since they always return to the same nests so you just set up the cameras when they migrated away
Oh sick. Nice.
If I'm not mistaken you should start seeing eggs now

Text wall incoming folks, stats for a mod I’ll commission one day
Graboid
—————
10 tons = 10,000hp
(However the body has a 2x body mult, and guns do extra damage)
————-
Speed: 38kmh underground sprint speed for 70 seconds
—-
On the surface your stuck till you play a submerge animation, leaving you open to attack, this submerging takes Stam.
Cant dig through rock, concrete. Wood and roots you can break through at a stam cost, the faster you go the more Stam needed.
As you dig you make a rumbling noise and occasionally send up a dust cloud, the faster you go the louder it is.
————-
Attacks:
Lmb: a 800n beak snap
Rmb; a grab with the tentacles, can be used below ground as well. However, you can only drag animals dilo size and below into your mouth. Any bigger and it’s a tug of war and even then you have to finish off the big prey with bites. The grab is delayed by around 2 second post activation
Alt lmb: a breach attack: dealing 1000n ON IMPACT, if you miss you hurt yourself and are on the “beached” state till you spend stam to submerge again
Senses stuff on the surface via movement and vibration (think last train from worm town)
Can bury vehicles by holding e, (takes awhile and multiple goes at it)

First Animal species of the day (65) :
Indian purple frog / (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis)
The purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), Indian purple frog, or pignose frog is a frog species of the genus Nasikabatrachus. It is endemic to the Western Ghats in India. Although the adult frog was formally described in October 2003,[2] the juvenile form of the species was described earlier in 1917
Range :
The species was described from specimens collected in the Idukki district of Kerala by S.D. Biju from the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in Palode, India, from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels), in 2003. However, it was already well known to the local people and several earlier documented specimens and publications had been ignored by the authors in the 2003 paper that describes the genus and species.[4]Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis closest living relatives are considered to be the Sooglossidae, only known in the Seychelles, an island chain in the Indian Ocean.
The scientific name Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is a Latinized portmanteau of the Sanskrit nāsikā (नासिका) for "nose", Greek batrachos (βάτραχος) for "frog", and Sahyadri, the native name for the Western Ghats which forms the purple frog's natural habitat.
One of its common names, the purple pig-nosed frog, also makes reference to the elongated morphology of its snout, which is well adapted to the acquisition of fossorial termites.
The body of Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis appears robust and bloated and is relatively rounded compared to other more dorsoventrally flattened frogs. Their flattened body assists them to cling to submerged rocks and boulders which essentially helps them fight strong currents, allowing them to remain near stream banks where they typically reside.[6] Its arms and legs splay out in the standard anuran body form. Compared to other frogs, N. sahyadrensis has a small head and an unusual pointed snout. Adults are typically dark purplish-grey in color. Males are about a third of the length of females.[7] The specimen with which the species was originally described was 7.0 cm (2.8 inches) long from the tip of the snout to the vent. Tadpoles of the species had been described in 1917 by Nelson Annandale and C. R. Narayan Rao as having oral suckers that allowed them to live in torrential streams.[3][8] Suckers are also present in rheophilic fishes of genera such as Glyptothorax, Travancoria, Homaloptera, and Bhavania, adaptations that are the result of convergent evolution. Some of these fishes co-occur with Nasikabatrachus tadpoles in the hill streams.[7][9] Its vocalization is a drawn-out harsh call that sounds similar to a chicken clucking. Males of this species exhibit the unique behavior of calling from under a thin layer of soil. Some other burrowing frogs (Myobatrachus gouldii and Arenophyrne rotunda) are known to do this, but these frogs have also been observed to call from the surface, while N. sahyadrensis has not.[10] The frogs may switch to headfirst burrowing due to their wedge-shaped skull and other shaped limbs.
Earlier thought to be restricted to the south of the Palghat Gap in the Western Ghats, additional records have extended its known range farther north of the gap.[12][13] The species is now known to be quite widely distributed in the Western Ghats, ranging from the Camel's Hump Hill Range in the north, all the way to the northernmost portions of the Agasthyamalai Hill Range in the south

Second Animal species of the day (66) :
Bull shark / (Carcharhinus leucas)
The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas), also known as the Zambezi shark (informally zambi) in Africa and Lake Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua, is a species of requiem shark commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. It is known for its aggressive nature, and presence mainly in warm, shallow brackish and freshwater systems including estuaries and (usually) lower reaches of rivers. This aggressive nature is a reason for its population being listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Shark-culling occurs near beaches to protect beach goers, which is one of the causes of bull shark populations continuing to decrease.
Range :
Bull sharks are euryhaline and can thrive in both salt and fresh water. They are known to travel far up rivers, and have been known to travel up the Mississippi River as far as Alton, Illinois,[4] about 1,100 kilometres (700 mi) from the ocean, but few freshwater interactions with humans have been recorded. Larger-sized bull sharks are probably responsible for the majority of nearshore shark attacks, including many incidents of shark bites attributed to other species.[5]
Unlike the river sharks of the genus Glyphis, bull sharks are not true freshwater sharks, despite their ability to survive in freshwater habitats.
Bull sharks are large and stout, with females being larger than males. The bull shark can be up to 81 cm (2 ft 8 in) in length at birth.[12] Adult female bull sharks average 2.4 m (8 ft) long and typically weigh 130 kg (290 lb), whereas the slightly smaller adult male averages 2.25 m (7 ft) and 95 kg (209 lb). While a maximum size of 3.5 m (11 ft) is commonly reported, a single record exists of a female specimen of exactly 4.0 m (13 ft).[5][13][14] A 3.25 m (10.7 ft) long pregnant individual reached 450 kg (990 lb).[15] Bull sharks are wider and heavier than other requiem sharks of comparable length, and are grey on top and white below. The second dorsal fin is smaller than the first. The bull shark's caudal fin is longer and lower than that of the larger sharks, and it has a small snout, and lacks an interdorsal ridge.[12]
Bull sharks have a bite force up to 5,914 newtons (1,330 lbf), weight for weight the highest among all investigated cartilaginous fishes.
The bull shark is the best known of 43 species of elasmobranch in 10 genera and four families to have been reported in fresh water.[33] Other species that enter rivers include the stingrays (Dasyatidae, Potamotrygonidae and others) and sawfish (Pristidae). Some skates (Rajidae), smooth dogfishes (Triakidae), and sandbar sharks (Carcharhinus plumbeus) regularly enter estuaries.[citation needed]
The bull shark is diadromous, meaning they can swim between salt and fresh water with ease.[34] These fish also are euryhaline fish, able to adapt to a wide range of salinities. The bull shark is one of the few cartilaginous fishes that have been reported in freshwater systems. Many of the euryhaline fish are bony fish such as salmon and tilapia and are not closely related to bull sharks. Evolutionary assumptions can be made to help explain this sort of evolutionary disconnect, one being that the bull shark encountered a population bottleneck that occurred during the last ice age.[35] This bottleneck may have separated the bull shark from the rest of the Elasmobranchii subclass and favored the genes for an osmoregulatory system.

No pain is more satisfying than the pain 18 hours after an excrutiating leg day
Yeeees
Leg day is every day when your job is power walking for 8 hours 
my brother works in a factory where they need to walk up and down to check if the furnace temp is stable, he walks 15km/day 
Oof ya I don't really track how far I walk most days. If I go off of how many pokemon eggs I hatch at work in a day.... ~8 miles, 10-13km in a day? About 1 mile every hour
@rough hollow
lmfao, thats nice aswell. atleast your stamina is solid
anybody here read or heard about the "all tomorrows" story?
Third Animal species of the day (67) :
Pacarana / (Dinomys branickii)
The pacarana (Dinomys branickii) is a rare and slow-moving hystricognath rodent indigenous to South America. Native Tupi people call it the pacarana (false paca) because it is superficially similar to the paca, a different rodent which is not in the same family. The pacarana has a chunky body and is large for a rodent, weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb) and measuring up to 79 cm (2 ft 7 in) in length, not including the thick, furry tail.[2][3]
Range :
The pacarana is nocturnal and is found only in tropical forests of the western Amazon River basin and adjacent foothills of the Andes Mountains. It ranges from northwestern Venezuela and Colombia to western Bolivia, including the Yungas. It is common in Cotapata National Park in Bolivia.
The pacarana is the sole extant member of the rodent family Dinomyidae in the infraorder Caviomorpha; the paca that it resembles in appearance is in a different Caviomorph family, the Cuniculidae. Initially, the pacarana was regarded as a member of the superfamily Muroidea, that includes the true mice, but that view was abandoned in the face of evidence that suggests that the pacarana is in the family Dinomyidae together with extinct animals such as Phoberomys pattersoni and Josephoartigasia monesi, prehistoric giant rodents that lived in South America several million years ago.
Pacaranas typically are found in family groups of four or five
Pacarana have 4 limbs and large heads. They are considered a scansorial species. When they eat, they grasp their food with their fore-paws while sitting on their hind legs

I hate Dark Souls so much...
Who mixed a Beaver and a Capybara
Very nice!!!
Tag me next time
Can’t Believe I got to choose 2
thank you sleepy
Btw, it may be suffering and trying to get the soap of it, if that is not animal friendly soap, it burns them
Think it was animal soap tho
@wintry marlin some animals, especially ones that groom themselves, will start grooming behavior when wet or being bathed because they're trying to get the soap/water off. If safe soaps are being used the animal isn't being harmed though I don't recommend bathing your rodents unless there a good reason like they rolled in their litter box 
Do know that, but like I’m just saying if it isn’t safe soap it can be in pain, but it looks like it’s normal grooming movements so it’s hard to tell, I think it’s safe soap
Nice
bald eagle i saw yesterday
Is that you
yes
No
is anyone is this chat a computer nerd that might be able to help me with a hardware issue?

Ok 👍🏼
First Animal species of the day (68) :
Goldfish / (Carassius auratus)
The Goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. It is commonly kept as a pet in indoor aquariums, and is one of the most popular aquarium fish. Goldfish released into the wild have become an invasive pest in parts of North America.
Blue : native range
Native to China, the goldfish is a relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the Prussian carp and the crucian carp). It was first selectively bred for color in imperial China more than 1,000 years ago, where several distinct breeds were developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration, and coloration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known).
Like most species in the carp family, goldfish produce a large amount of waste both in their feces and through their gills, releasing harmful chemicals into the water. Build-up of this waste to toxic levels can occur in a relatively short period of time, and can easily cause a goldfish's death. For common and comet varieties, each goldfish should have about 20 US gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) of water. goldfish (which are smaller) should have about 10 US gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) per goldfish. The water surface area determines how much oxygen diffuses and dissolves into the water. A general rule is have 1 square foot (0.093 m2). Active aeration by way of a water pump, filter or fountain effectively increases the surface area.
The goldfish is classified as a coldwater fish, and can live in unheated aquaria at a temperature comfortable for humans. However, rapid changes in temperature (for example in an office building in winter when the heat is turned off at night) can kill them, especially if the tank is small. Care must also be taken when adding water, as the new water may be of a different temperature. Temperatures under about 10 °C (50 °F) are dangerous to varieties, though commons and comets can survive slightly lower temperatures. Extremely high temperatures (over 30 °C (86 °F)) can also harm goldfish. However, higher temperatures may help fight protozoan infestations by accelerating the parasite's life-cycle—thus eliminating it more quickly. The optimum temperature for goldfish is between 20 °C (68 °F) and 22 °C (72 °F).
Also pleased dont throw your goldfish into a river
why did they hurt him
They can grow so big and become invasive
you just feel sorry for them
Like all fish, goldfish do not like to be petted. In fact, touching a goldfish can endanger its health, because it can cause the protective slime coat to be damaged or removed, exposing the fish's skin to infection from bacteria or water-born parasites. However, goldfish respond to people by surfacing at feeding time, and can be trained or acclimated to taking pellets or flakes from human fingers. The reputation of goldfish dying quickly is often due to poor care.[42] The lifespan of goldfish in captivity can extend beyond 10 years.
I would not want to be him

look at it
@distant nymph
@azure oar
@cedar crescent
@gaunt bramble
@drowsy egret
how and why
@wintry marlin
@shell rapids
@rough hollow
How and why what

They grow so big 
scary
Indeed
Their growth can be different depending their location
In fish tank cant grow so big
can you put longhorn cowfish on the upcoming list?
Ok ✅👍🏼

Mantis shrimp
Oarfish
D:
Nicobar pigeon my beloved
yessss!
Also shout out to victoria crowned pigeon
Mantis shrimp too scary. It can shoot bullets with eyes.
you know why this think grew so big ?
it was a house fish which got released into the wild
Nothing ate it
when that happens they usually eat ALOT of food and grow massive
yeah species of carps generally never stop growing
i remember somebody talking about it
he said that releasing goldfish into the wild can cause alot of damage to the ecosystem
Their growth can be different depending their location
In fish tank cant grow so big due to small water body
While in lakes and rivers due to how big the body of water there
there is other reasons aswell
Maybe food
no natural predators, plenty of food, perfect environment to survive in
out competes
they usually dont grow that big even in the wild
BUT released ones do grow really big i do not remember the full reason tho
Goldfish are scary
probably because wild ones live in their native habitats where their growth is balanced out
and cute
released ones are invasive and have nothing stopping them from growing
And The most popular species of fish in the entire world
goldfish are very cute
yeah
they also get alot of food from their owner so they tend to eat more
Look at his scary face
this is a fantail one in particular
Yep
the fat on their faces actually sometimes overgrow and you have to cut them
i don't know if it harms the fish, just know it's a thing
their flesh on their head sometimes grows so big they literally cant see and get so heavy
yep
Poor goldfish 
so the owners can do a surgery thing
making them dizzy with some medicen and getting those flesh off
i mean u can easily help them
jus gotta do a small surgery
Also they price too much waste
similar to bettas with out growing tails, like rose tails, sometimes it's needed to trim their fins
it's better to just avoid breeding them to be like this
they are hard to take care of but they are a good fish to have
Yep
Thats why I decided to buy Guppies instead of goldfish
Guppies are way easier
👆🏼
i had some
though beautiful, the fins on rosetail bettas are extremely heavy and ruin their quality of life
one looked like it was pregnent then 2 weeks after almost all of them died
im a bad owner i know
these are fighter fish
i love these
very easy and diverse
fighter fish i think it was tend to get really agro so its better to keep them alone
oh yes
we call them bettas here
very common in pet stores
they are very territorial
yeah betta is one of the names
at least the males
females you can somewhat keep together in a sorority, though they have like some sort of pecking order
i had a red one it was so good looking
sadly he died like all of my fish after that i didnt get any more fish since i dont think im ready since i know barely nothing about keeping a fish lol
wild bettas though are so gorgeous
keeping fish is hard man
Here are some of my guppies
wrong reply, wild bettas
those look nice
those are beautiful
cute!!
Yep believe it or not
Fish are harder to take care of than cats 🐈 and dogs 🐕
very much so
Thanks 🙏🏼
makes sense
they need specific water temps they need alot of care aswell
Yeah
guppies are fun and they multiply, though usually eat their babies lol
i can tell some of the females in that photo are gravid even
dogs and cats are easier since they usually just do whatever they need themselfs u just gotta learn them
And their feeding you need to know not to over feed
Unlike cats and dogs
Fish dont stop eating
Other animals know when to stop eating
u can train a dog to go in the bathroom and poop
that is alot easier then fish
fish just make the tank really dirty and u gotta refill it
u gotta clean the tank alot too its just so time consuming
these two have eggs
yes
fiesh
Goldfish 
Also i forgot . @barren bear
This is a better reason
thank you
so it's like stunted growth
due to size of containment and, assumably, food given
because I believe the same is with my Axoltols
Yeah
we feed them, they're currently young, once every third day
as daily/bi-daily makes 'em fatter faster

I knew that at some point you would get something wrong because it is from Wikipedia 
Is THIS food?
To explain what I mean, Just simply lifting up or touching a fish does not destroy its protective mucus and even if you would manage to destroy a bit it would quickly regenerate it because the mucus is continuously produced
It would be like holding a bucket under a giant waterfall
Pretty much the most popular myth ever tho so I get it
As far as I can see no source from Wikipedia states supports the thing with mucus getting removed and them getting sick, the nearest source is only about the fact that goldfish dying quickly is a myth
Yes 
anyways
pretty funny animal
Goldfish are scary fish
could a giant goldfish swallow a cat
small one looks like it got a tumor on its face
Yeah lol
on another note

Second Animal species of the day (69) :
Longhorn cowfish / (Lactoria cornuta)
The longhorn cowfish (Lactoria cornuta), also called the horned boxfish, is a species of boxfish from the family Ostraciidae, recognizable by its long horns that protrude from the front of its head, rather like those of a cow or bull.[1] They are a resident of the Indo-Pacific region and can grow up to 50 cm (20 in) long.
Range :
Adults are reef fish, often solitary and territorial, and live around sand or rubble bottom up to a depth of 50 m (160 ft). They are omnivorous, feeding upon benthic algae, various microorganisms, and foraminiferans that it strains from sediments, sponges, polychaete worms from sand flats, mollusks, small crustaceans, and small fish, able to feed on benthic invertebrates by blowing jets of water into the sandy substrate. Longhorn cowfish protect the coral reefs they live in by being predators of the invertebrates that destroy the reefs. They are also important in the growth and creation of coral reefs for this same reason.[2] According to the IUCN, the Longhorn cowfish is categorized as “Not Evaluated”.[3] While this may eventually be impacted by aquarium trade, currently there is no concern now.
Its primary habitat is coral reefs in lagoons, on reef flats, estuaries, bays, and on protected seaward reefs.[4] Juveniles associate with Acropora corals. Depth range is 3.3–148 ft (1–45 m, perhaps up to 100 m).
Red Sea and East Africa eastward through Indonesia to Marquesas, northward to southern Japan. Including Tuamotus, southern Korea, north to the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan, south to Australia and Lord Howe Island, and off southern Africa in the Atlantic. Tropical and subtropical waters. The specimens found in India are a new development in the last couple years, and it is speculated that cyclones or typhoons brought the Lactoria cornuta to a new environment.
There is no known sexual dimorphism, so both male and female display a yellow to olive base color, which is decorated with white or bluish spots. Paired courtship just before or after sunset. Eggs and ichthyoplankton are pelagic. Females generally are larger than males. Males grow to be 65-155 mm with an average of 103 mm, while females grow to be 83-250 mm with an average of 121 mm. Female Longhorn Cowfish also weigh more than males with a weight range of 17-156 g with an average of 33 g while males have a weight range of 12-116 g with an average of 26 g
One distinction from other fish is the lack of a gill cover, which is replaced by a small slit or hole. The hexagonal plate-like scales of these fish are fused together into a solid, triangular, box-like carapace, from which the fins and tail protrude. They have large eyes immediately behind the horns.[4] Their unique method of swimming, called ostraciiform swimming, causes them to look as if they are hovering. They have no pelvic skeleton, so they lack pelvic fins. The tail fin of the Longhorn cowfish can be the same length as its body, as it relies on its fins for movement.[7] They are such slow swimmers cowfish are easily caught by hand, making a grunting noise when captured. The cowfish are also able to produce two kinds of sounds using muscles connected to their swim bladder, hums and clicks.[8] This species of cowfish is the most well-known cowfish species in the aquarium trade.
