Dinner and desert

[sacred stirrup]

I think we have the same keyboard 😆

[void zinc]

This is the correct decision for food.

Oatmeal Creampie is the best confection and every other choice is sub-optimal.

[sacred stirrup]

Oatmeal creampie cookies are the best, could literally eat a whole box of those if I wanted

[hazy gate]

I prefer ice cream usually when it comes to sweets but those are good at certain times, could eat icecream anytime anywhere

[hazy gate]

ADD BACON

[sacred stirrup]

Same, especially dairy queen XD

[hazy gate]

Yeeees

[sacred stirrup]

Ice cream or brownies are my go to

[young gale]

[full patrol]

To scale, as in its stronger than if a trex were the size of a piranha. Trex actual bite force compared to piranha actual biteforce is significantly stronger

It is pretty cool though that relative to size the piranha has the strongest bite

[limber star]

[young gale]

I CANT WAIT FOR PARTY ANIMALS WOOOOOO!!!!

And Mortal Kombat

[full patrol]

I can't wait to make the game I want to play because despite the genre being flooded already nobody else is doing it the way I want

It's gonna suck and hopefully it's worth it

[young gale]

[young gale]

PARTY ANIMALS WOOOOOOO

[full patrol]

Hey, I wanna learn to make games and where's better to start than screwing around trying to learn to make a shitty game in a genre I'm interested in

[young gale]

Work for the isle 😁

The isle is a sandbox fantasy survival. I think.

[full patrol]

Bold of you to assume I have that level of programming knowledge

I'm still struggling with bags and classes

[young gale]

This might be true

[hazy gate]

I mean you could just be a map designer and builder, that doesnt take much programming know how

[young gale]

The isle already has a map designer

Jace

[hazy gate]

I think games should have map teams not one guy,but eh

[full patrol]

Ya, they've already got a guy for that and it does involve quite a bit more knowledge than "ya I made a really simple map in the legacy dev kit once"

[hazy gate]

Well yeah its gonna be a whole project that takes months to years

[full patrol]

They have more than just Jace working on the maps when it comes to the whole process of designing and building a map

[hazy gate]

Very neat

So hes like lead designer

[full patrol]

I think he's the main guy who literally makes the maps but like concept art, layouts, and ect is a team effort that requires concept art and lore implementation among other design processes

[agile gorge]

Who's jace

[barren bear]

Ben Folds lover

[limber star]

I don't get it 😞

[barren bear]

Jack loves Ben Folds

[limber star]

sorry I'm stupid

oh he does? cool

First Animal species of the day (138) :
Spiny bush viper / (atheris hispida)

Atheris hispida is a viper species endemic to Central Africa. Like all other vipers, it is venomous. It is known for its extremely keeled dorsal scales that give it a bristly appearance.[2] No subspecies are currently recognized.[3] Common names include rough-scaled bush viper, spiny bush viper,[4][2] hairy bush viper,[2][5] and others.

[azure oar]

e
heheheheheheh

[modest isle]

Range :

The males of this species grow to maximum total length of 73 cm (29 in): body 58 cm (23 in), tail 15 cm (5.9 in). Females grow to a maximum total length of 58 cm (23 in). The males are surprisingly long and slender compared to the females.[2]

The head has a short snout, more so in males than in females. The eyes are large and surrounded by 9–16 circumorbital scales. The orbits (eyes) are separated by 7–9 scales. The nostril is like a slit and separated from the eye by two scales. The eye and the supralabials are separated by a single row of scales. The supralabials number 7-10, of which the fourth is enlarged.[2] The body is covered with elongated, heavily keeled dorsal scales that give this animal a unique 'shaggy' look, almost bristly in appearance. The scales around the head and neck are the longest, decreasing posteriorly. Midbody, the dorsal scales are in 15–19 rows. There are 149–166 ventral scales and 35–64 subcaudals. The anal scale is single.

[azure oar]

One of those is my fav african country

[modest isle]

Central and East Africa: northern and eastern DR Congo, southwestern Uganda, west Kenya, and northwestern Tanzania. The type locality given is "Lutunguru, Kivu" (DR Congo).[6]

More specifically, Spawls & Branch (1995) describe the distribution as isolated populations in Kivu and Orientale Provinces in DR Congo, southeastern Ruwenzori in Uganda and the Kakamega Forest in western Kenya

[azure oar]

I have already taken a sleeping pill I wont get up

[modest isle]

Capable of climbing reeds and stalks, this species is often found basking on top of flowers and terminal leaves. Mostly nocturnal.

Feeds on mammals, frogs, lizards, and sometimes birds. Sometimes hunts for mammalian prey on the ground.

Females give birth to up to 12 young at a time. Newborns are about 15 cm (5.9 in) in total length.

Not much is known about their venom except that it is mainly neurotoxic. Besides the neurotoxins, they also carry cytotoxins and fasciculins. Toxicity of individual specimens within the same species and subspecies can vary greatly based on several factors, including geographical region. Even the weather and altitude can influence toxicity (Ernst and Zug et al. 1996). A bite can be fatal to humans without access to proper first aid and subsequent antivenom treatment. Until recently, their venom has often been regarded as less toxic than that of many other species, perhaps because bites are uncommon, but this turned out not to be the case. There are now a number of reports of bites that have led to severe hemorrhaging of internal organs.

Second Animal species of the day (139) :
Vervet monkey / (Chlorocebus pygerythrus)

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa.[3] The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in body length from about 40 cm (16 in) for females, to about 50 cm (20 in) for males.

Range :

In addition to behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use.[4] Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males moving to other groups at the time of sexual maturity. Studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition, and particular predator sightings.

The vervet monkey ranges throughout much of Southern and East Africa, being found from Ethiopia and extreme southern South Sudan all the way down to South Africa. It is not found west of the East African Rift or the Luangwa River,[1] where it is replaced by the closely related malbrouck (C. cynosuros) species. The vervet monkey inhabits savanna, riverine woodland, coastal forest, and mountains up to 4000 m (13,100 ft). They are adaptable and able to persist in secondary and/or highly fragmented vegetation, including cultivated areas, and sometimes are found living in both rural and urban environments.[2] Annual home range size has been observed to be as high as 176 ha, with an average population density of 54.68 animals/km².

When males reach sexual maturity, they move to a neighboring group.[17] Often, males move with a brother or peer, presumably for protection against aggression by males and females of the resident group. Groups that had previously transferred males show significantly less aggression upon the arrival of another male. In almost every case, males migrate to adjacent groups. This obviously increases benefits in regard to distance traveled, but also reduces the amount of genetic variance, increasing the likelihood of inbreeding.

Vervet monkeys have four confirmed predators: leopards, eagles, pythons, and baboons. The sighting of each predator elicits an acoustically distinct alarm call.[21] As infants, vervets learn to make the variety of calls from observation alone, without explicit tutelage. In experimentation with unreliable signalers, individuals became habituated to incorrect calls from a specific individual. Though the response was lessened for a specific predator, if an unreliable individual gives an alarm call for a different predator, group members respond as if the alarm caller is, in fact, reliable. This suggests vervet monkeys are able to recognize and to respond to not only the individual calling, but also to the semantics of what the individual is communicating.[22] Vervet monkeys are thought to have up to 30 different alarm calls. In the wild, they have been seen giving a different call when seeing a human being approaching, leading researchers to believe that vervet monkeys may have a way of distinguishing between different land and flight predators.

Tyrannosuchus Horridus

Approximately 50 feet long and 20 feet tall, making it larger than the average T. rex. Tyrannosuchus Horridus feeds on a combination of fish, small mammals, and other dinosaurs, using its powerful jaws and sharp teeth to crush bone, shells, and vegetation. The species creates communal nests along riverbanks, where females lay eggs in water. Males guard the nests while the females take turns feeding.Tyrannosuchus Horridus is solitary, very territorial, and fiercely aggressive to other creatures that enter their territory. The species is found near shallow tropical and subtropical rivers and their banks, which provide ample prey, water, and nesting sites ideal for their needs. They are relatively dirty animals, frequently seen basking in the sun and taking mud baths to cool down and keep parasites at bay. Tyrannosuchus Horridus is primarily nocturnal, but individuals take turns resting during the day. They sleep for about eight hours a day. They thrive in temperatures between 25-30°C (77-86°F). Tyrannosuchus Horridus prefers a warm and humid climate, with ample vegetation and prey, and plenty of rivers for swimming and hunting. The species thrived in the Late Cretaceous era, around 68 million years ago. They have tough, scaly skin, with a mix of the textures and patterns of both dinosaurs and crocodiles. They come in a range of colors, including green, brown, and gray, providing camouflage in the riverbanks. Kingdom- Animalia, Phylum- Chordata, Class- Sauropsida, Superorder- Dinosauria, Order- Saurischia, Suborder- Theropoda, Family- Tyrannosauridae/Deinosuchidae, Genus- Tyrannosuchus, Species- Horridus. Tyrannosuchus Horridus likely evolved from some ancestor of Tyrannosaurs back in the Late Cretaceous period, which allowed for it to possess the characteristics of both predators in one formidable creature.

First Animal species of the day (140) :
Earless monitor lizard / (Lanthanotus borneensis)

The earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) is a semiaquatic, brown lizard native to the Southeast Asian island of Borneo. It is the only living species in the family Lanthanotidae and it is related to the true monitor lizards.

Range :

The earless monitor lizard is endemic to the Southeast Asian island of Borneo, where it is known from Sarawak in East Malaysia, as well as West and North Kalimantan in Indonesia.[14][15][16] Until late 2012, its known range in North Kalimantan was a part of East Kalimantan.[17] It was also confirmed to be found in Brunei for the first time in 2022, in the country's Temburong District.[18] Prior to the discovery, it was believed that they may occur there and has been recorded c. 100 km (60 mi) from the border.[19] There are no records from Sabah, Central Kalimantan or South Kalimantan.

Earless monitor lizards have a cylindrical body, long neck, short limbs, long sharp claws, small eyes, semitransparent lower eyelids, and six longitudinal rows of strongly keeled scales.[20][23] Despite the name, they are capable of hearing, although lack a tympanum, an ear opening and other externally visible signs of ears.[4][24] The upperparts are orangish-brown, and the underside is mottled dark brown and whitish, pale yellowish, ochre or rusty.[7][14][20] The tail is prehensile and if it is lost, it is not regenerated.[23] The skin is shed infrequently, possibly less than once a year.[23] There are both reports of the skin shedding in one piece (similar to snakes),[23] or in smaller pieces (as typical of lizards).[25] Overall the sexes are alike, but males have a distinctly broader head and broader tail base than females.[16] The differences between the sexes are clearly noticeable from an age of about three years.[26] They sometimes oscillate the throat (similar to frogs) and the forked tongue is sometimes flicked (similar to snakes).[16] They can make a gentle, squeaky vocalization.

Adult earless monitor lizards typically have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 20 cm (8 in),[20] and a total length of about 40 cm (16 in).[25] Eighteen wild individuals, six males and twelve females, ranged from 15.6 to 22 cm (6.1–8.7 in) in SVL, 17.4 to 22.1 cm (6.9–8.7 in) in tail length (disregarding one individual missing much of its tail), and 48 to 120 g (1.7–4.2 oz) in weight (disregarding one sickly and skinny individual).[16] Among these, the largest total length (SVL+tail) was a male that measured 44.1 cm (17.4 in), which also is the longest recorded in the wild.[16] A specimen collected in the 1960s has a total length of 51 cm (20 in),[7] and near the time of its death an individual kept at the Bronx Zoo from 1968 to 1976 had a total length of 47 cm (18.5 in) and weighed 209 g (7.4 oz), but it was highly obese.[27] When hatching the total length of the young is about 7–14 cm (3–6 in).[15][28][29] When one year old, their total length is about 23–25 cm (9–10 in).

Earless monitor lizards are generally strictly nocturnal animals, although exceptionally daytime observations in the open have been reported.[14][16] The day is usually spent near water in burrows that can be up to 30 cm (1 ft) long or under logs, rocks or vegetation.[5][20] They are generally quite inactive and not agile, but can make surprisingly fast spurts when startled,[16] and will rapidly catch prey items placed in front of them.[28] During one study where 19 individuals were located during the night, about half were in the water and the other half near water on land.[16] In captivity they sometimes remain virtually immobile underwater for hours, periodically lifting the nose above the water's surface to breathe.[31] When underwater, the semitransparent lower eyelids are generally closed, covering the eyes.[16] It has been speculated that the prehensile tail is wrapped around stones, roots and other things underwater to avoid being swept along during floods.

Eggs

Baby :

The earless monitor lizard has been rated by the IUCN as endangered (its range covers less than 500 km2 or 190 sq mi).[21] The species is usually considered very rare, but it is easily overlooked and as recently as 1999 the only published confirmed records were from Sarawak.[7] Confirmation from Kalimantan only appeared later.[16] In some areas locals are unaware of its presence or consider it rare, but in others it may be common. At one site in West Kalimantan, 17 of 21 locals asked were aware of its presence and most of these considered it common.[14] At three other sites in the region the majority asked were aware of its presence, but less than half considered it common.[14] Elsewhere in West Kalimantan, a three-night survey of a 400 m (1,300 ft) long section of a stream, as well as two adjacent streams, located 19 earless monitor lizards, representing an unusually high density for a lizard of this size.[16] Despite this high density in a stream used by locals for washing, fishing and as a source of drinking water, they only reported seeing the species very rarely and some had never seen it.[16] Nevertheless, at present the earless monitor lizard is only known for certain from a relatively small number of sites.

[sullen merlin]

Tf bro. Us has some weird laws when it comes to animals man

[shell rapids]

Ohio is concerningly lax with animal laws

[sullen merlin]

Like idk whats going on in florida where they are killing everyone retics

i know why but its still sad

They should do safety checks or something and let people have them with permits but they just kill all of them. The vid of the cop accudently killkng a boa cuz he thought it was a retic is just triggering to me

what an ignorant guy

[shell rapids]

Yea americans In general
Are braindead

I don't necessarily mind the consistent killing of animals as means of population control

As long as the people doing it aren't idiots and kill the right animals

[full patrol]

It is of my opinion that ignorant people live everywhere and not everyone takes time to become educated on the differences between animals like a large invasive snake vs a large native snake

Also, some people just don't care unfortunately

[shell rapids]

Hardly an opinion its just how it is

People are ignorant
Which yea some people just don't know and are willing to accept that, but, nonetheless

[modest isle]

@full patrol was probably referring to the Florida people who own exotic pets then gets tired of them and throw them in the wild to become invasive

And thats a very common thing that sadly happens

[shell rapids]

Common thing everywhere

One of the people who bring their dog into daycare where I work(we all hate him)

Has apparently been talking about getting a monkey and how he'd be bringing it to daycare

[limber star]

it's bbbingo time babey

yippee

[full patrol]

Easy, if the daycare does like dogs and cats only say they don't take exotic pets. Or dogs/cats only. His problem getting an exotic pet without knowing any daycare places that take it

[modest isle]

True

[shell rapids]

Issue is out boss flirts with him and will doing anything if it means a quick buck

And we have taken exotic pets before
Tho
That really only includes a half lynx (apparently? Long before I worked here)

And we were supposed to be getting a pig but I don't think that's happening anynore

[full patrol]

Pigs are considered domestic pets, not exotic. But if your boss is gonna fold for them since they have a crush it won't make much of a difference so that sucks

[shell rapids]

Wasn't sure if pigs were considered domestic as far pets go

I doubt he'll even get a monkey
But this guy's an idiot frankly (wants his dog to get reactive, his mom takes care of the dog more than him, too old to be living with said mother but isz etc etc.)
So I won't put it past him to try

[young gale]

How TF do you find zygarde cells

[thorn meadow]

Genus: Tyran-ino-giga

Diet: Omnivorous, feeding primarily on smaller animals, but consuming some plants for nutrition

Social Group: Solitary or in pairs

Social Behavior: Highly aggressive towards other animals, establishing expansive territories

Activity Span: Mostly diurnal, but can hunt at any time of the day if necessary

Preferred Habitat: Savannas with access to freshwater sources and abundant prey

Temperature: Thrives in hot, arid climates, with a preference for temperatures between 85-95°F

Bone and Skeleton Structure: Built around the T-Rex skeleton and musculature, with elongated arms resembling that of Spinosaurus and powerful legs resembling that of Gigasaurus. Its skull would feature a combination of the bone structures from all three dinosaurs, including the iconic "sail" of Spinosaurus.

Size: Adults range from 40-50 feet in length and weigh around 10,000-12,000 lbs.

Nesting: Builds nests on the craters of inactive volcanoes using rocks and branches to create a shelter.

Parenting: Males take the responsibility to guard the offspring after they hatch. They are very territorial and will fight fiercely to defend their nests.

Speed: Can run at speeds up to 30 mph.

Thermoregulation: Sweats through pores in its skin to maintain temperature, but can also withstand extremely high temperatures.

Early History: The Tyran-ino-giga is only theoretical, but it is believed to have evolved during the Late Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago. Its unique combination of physical traits would have made it one of the most formidable predators to ever exist.

[rough hollow]

Banned

[hybrid wadi]

i bought it, i saw how much storage it takes and i stopped installation halfway

[sharp monolith]

xD

it's a great game

but all the servers are shutting down this month

[hybrid wadi]

what abt the new ark game which was teased

[sharp monolith]

because snail games embezzled all their money to some higher corporation (CCP) and now they're making a reskin that's gonna sell for 60$

they admitted it was a reskin too

and ark 2 hasn't even started developement imo

knowing how well they handle deadlines and work times in general

there's no way they actually stay true to their word this time

wildcard = <3
snail games = :(

[hybrid wadi]

ya it looked cool

when they teased it, but imo we are not getting what we saw

[sharp monolith]

no way. check out their ark extinction trailer vs the actual dlc

[hybrid wadi]

alr lemme check

[sharp monolith]

that's about how it's gonna go. or even better yet any of the 5 so called ARK killers snail games released

atlas for example

[hybrid wadi]

i see

[sharp monolith]

best concept ever. they only developed it for 2 months though. and upon release there were ways to open ark menus in what was suposed to be a standalone game

basically proving it's a reskin

[hybrid wadi]

i just want to see ARK 2's gameplay trailer or teaser

[sharp monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-65GtCwfy24
chekc this out.

[hybrid wadi]

but if they try to implement what they showed as a teaser, it will take a lot of development right?

[sharp monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8KbXpk2J9Y

[sharp monolith]

yes. and they've never done that before

only wildcard did. and their free will to do as they please ran out after extinction

any dlc/game from the ark publishers after 2019 is just an automatic scam

[hybrid wadi]

this is wild lol

[sharp monolith]

average atlas experience

point being

ark 2 was releasing summer 2023

and uuh

[hybrid wadi]

well it never did lol

[sharp monolith]

it never will either

[hybrid wadi]

Lmao

[sharp monolith]

snail games signed a death contract because of their massive dept with nitrado

they gave them a loan on the condition ark 2 releases before date X not too far from now

[hybrid wadi]

then it will release broken

[sharp monolith]

but that's literally impossible. because they haven't done any work for it

[sharp monolith]

yep. so they're screwed either way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lgS_fES3ZY

check this

[hybrid wadi]

either it will be canceled or released in a broken state

[hybrid wadi]

lemme see

[sharp monolith]

also, snail games regularly cheat and ban anyone who opposes them on their official game clusters

[drowsy egret]

designs go hard thohttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/727388112686153768/1147325517750611998/Shastasaurus_Concept_2560x1440.png

[carmine cape]

yeah unfortunetly ark isn't optimised at all, having all dlcs is just painful

[hybrid wadi]

ya i've heard that bfr

[leaden sparrow]

weren't studio wildcard the ones which released a paid DLC for ark before it was even close to finished?

[hallow parrot]

rip steve harwell 🫡

[shell rapids]

Iirc 90% of the crappy decisions around ark were done because of the publisher
Snail games

Aside from things like
Actual game content and optimization ofc

First Animal species of the day (141) :
Southern cassowary / (Casuarius casuarius)

The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius), also known as double-wattled cassowary, Australian cassowary, or two-wattled cassowary, is a large flightless black bird, found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and northeastern Australia. It is one of the three living species of cassowary, alongside the dwarf cassowary and the northern cassowary. It is a ratite and therefore related to the emu, ostriches, rheas and kiwis.

Range :

The southern cassowary has stiff, bristly black plumage, a blue face and a long neck, red on the cape and two red wattles measuring around 17.8 cm (7.0 in) in length hanging down around its throat. A horn-like brown casque, measuring 13 to 16.9 cm (5.1 to 6.7 in) high, sits atop the head. The bill can range from 9.8 to 19 cm (3.9 to 7.5 in). The plumage is sexually monomorphic, but the female is dominant and larger with a longer casque, larger bill and brighter-coloured bare parts. The juveniles have brown longitudinal striped plumage

All of the same species :
Southern Cassowaries

Southern cassowaries forage on the forest floor for fallen fruit and are capable of safely digesting some fruits toxic to other animals. They also eat fungi, and some insects and small vertebrates. Inspection of the faeces reveals that commonly ingested fruits are Davidsonia pruriens, Syzygium divaricatum, and members of the laurel family

The southern cassowary is a solitary bird, which pairs only in breeding season, in late winter or spring. The male builds a nest on the ground,[6] a mattress of herbaceous plant material 5 to 10 centimetres (2–4 in) thick and up to 100 centimetres (39 in) wide. This is thick enough to let moisture drain away from the eggs. The male also incubates the eggs and raises the chicks alone. A clutch of three or four eggs are laid measuring 138 by 95 millimetres (5.4 in × 3.7 in). They have a granulated surface and are initially bright pea-green in colour although they fade with age.[6][11] Southern cassowaries make a thunderous call during mating season, and hissing and rumblings otherwise. Chicks will make frequent high-pitched contact whistles and chirps to call the male.

Although subject to ongoing habitat loss (some due to logging), limited range, and overhunting in some areas, the southern cassowary was evaluated as Least concern in 2018 by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Other threats include feral animals eating their eggs and roadkill.[2][6] Road-building, feral animals and hunting are the worst of these threats. It has an occurrence range of 396,000 km2 (153,000 sq mi), and between 10,000 and 20,000 birds were estimated in a 2002 study, with between 1,500 and 2,500 in Australia.

Second Animal species of the day (142) :
Black-tailed prairie dog / (Cynomys ludovicianus)

The black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) is a rodent of the family Sciuridae found in the Great Plains of North America from about the United States-Canada border to the United States-Mexico border. Unlike some other prairie dogs, these animals do not truly hibernate. The black-tailed prairie dog can be seen above ground in midwinter. A black-tailed prairie dog town in Texas was reported to cover 25,000 sq mi (64,000 km2) and included 400,000,000 individuals.[3] Prior to habitat destruction, the species may have been the most abundant prairie dog in central North America. It was one of two prairie dogs described by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the journals and diaries of their expedition.

Range :

Black-tailed prairie dogs are generally tan in color, with lighter-colored bellies. They may have color variation in their pelt, such as dark fur on their back in black and brown tones. Their tails have black tips, from which their name is derived. Adults can weigh from 1.5 to 3.0 lb (0.68 to 1.36 kg), males are typically heavier than females. Body length is normally from 14 to 17 in (36 to 43 cm), with a 3-to-4 in (7.6-to-10.2 cm) tail. The black-tailed have black long claws used for digging. The body of the black-tailed prairie dog is compact, and the ears are small and close to the head.

The historic range of the black-tailed prairie dog was from southern Saskatchewan and Alberta to Chihuahua, Mexico,[4] and included portions of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.[5] As of 2007, black-tailed prairie dogs occur across most of their historic range, excluding Arizona;[6][7] however, their occupied acreage and populations are well below historic levels.

Black-tailed prairie dogs are selective opportunists, preferring certain phenological stages or types of vegetation according to their needs.[9][14][30] When forage is stressed by grazing, drought, or herbicides, they change their diets quickly. Grasses are preferred over forbs,[10][24] and may comprise more than 75% of their diets, especially during summer.

Black-tailed prairie dogs live in colonies. Colony size may range from five to thousands of individuals, and may be subdivided into two or more wards, based on topographic features, such as hills. Wards are usually subdivided into two or more coteries, which are composed of aggregates of highly territorial, harem-polygynous social groups.[9][10] Individuals within coteries are amicable with each other and hostile towards outside individuals. At the beginning of the breeding season, a coterie is typically composed of one adult male, three to four adult females, and several yearlings and juveniles of both sexes. After the breeding season and prior to dispersal of juveniles, coterie size increases.

Elephant seal

[sullen merlin]

Seals can fly if they get a lil help from orcas

[full patrol]

wrong, the seal is withdrawing before it becomes enraged and eats the cat in one bite

[modest isle]

@full patrol no one was hurt in this gif

[full patrol]

actually I do gotta delete that one

sorry

[modest isle]

They didn’t start the fight

[full patrol]

if it cut before the seal landed a blow it would have been fine xD

[modest isle]

Oh

Makes sense 👍🏼

[full patrol]

could add a "to be continued" meme to it lol

[azure oar]

the seal just doesnt care because it has a minus 5090 dmg protection armor

[sullen merlin]

Why is mine not getting deleted then? I didnt know this was a rule?

[full patrol]

the cat is booping the seal neither are in duress

[sullen merlin]

I meant the seal getting launced by an orca lol

I didn't see that one 👀

[azure oar]

can I send you a vid of two bulls fighting in dms?
you can see them tearing pretty hard on each others skin towards 50 seconds but the first 20 seconds get the point across

[modest isle]

Yes

[full patrol]

gifs and pictures count as well

there's actually some gifs that are on the automod for it xD

[azure oar]

actually not as bad as I though in the end
kinda interesting how a bull can just rip full force on the others chest and it doesnt even cause any major dmg

[sullen merlin]

I think i sent a gif earlier of a cassowary attacking a guy (with a shield tho). Should i delete that too then?

[full patrol]

nah that's fine, it's a weird line

it's more if an animal is being harmed rather than if an animal is running at a person/attacking a board the person is holding

[sullen merlin]

So animals can attack humans but not eachother

[full patrol]

we don't want like gifs of a person getting attacked by an alligator

but like this is ok

https://tenor.com/view/cute-hippo-gif-20986567

because the person isn't actually getting hurt

[modest isle]

But still thats alot of blood

[sullen merlin]

Ye but the hippo went for the kill tho

U can clearly see its evil intent to end this mans life

I
Love them so much
Anteaters and pangolins
Amazing anjmals

[full patrol]

they don't whistle when they breathe so it would be pretty odd if that happened

[modest isle]

And armadillos are related to them

[sullen merlin]

If u put ur ears close to them u can hear them breathe

[shell rapids]

How can someone not love the noodles face that uses its own tail as a blankie

[full patrol]

weid, that happens with my dog too!

[modest isle]

No way

[azure oar]

what troll put the giant hummingbird head on the skeleton of the ice age sloth again

[sullen merlin]

Exactly. So if u blow hard enough it should make some sound lol

[shell rapids]

Armadillos, anteaters (not pangolins) and sloths are all in the same group

Xenarthra

[full patrol]

ya, the sound of air going through the bones. You need a little more than just a hollow tube with 2 holes in it to make a flute

Pangolins however
Are their own group closer to carnivorans, pholidota

Not wildcards greed

Blame the correct people

[leaden sparrow]

they made paid DLC for an incomplete game lol how is that not greed

[shell rapids]

Pay attention to what we're saying
It's not wildcards decision
It's their publishers, snail game's decision
WC wasn't given an option.

[leaden sparrow]

ahhhh I see

was snail game's the publisher at the time?

[shell rapids]

By no means am I saying WC is innocent and squeaky clean
But that's stuff was snail games

I believe snail games was the publisher from the get go?

[leaden sparrow]

oh

weird I swear on steam it always said the publisher is wildcard

[shell rapids]

It might but if so, then it's incorrect

Allegedly snail games has been tryna get WC to add microstransactions (which I think they did on ark mobile)

And that arks largest megatribe is lead by snail games employees

First Animal species of the day (143) :
Monarch butterfly / (Danaus plexippus)

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae) in the family Nymphalidae.[5] Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown.[6] It is amongst the most familiar of North American butterflies and an iconic pollinator,[7] although it is not an especially effective pollinator of milkweeds.[8][9] Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3.5–4.0 in).[10] A Müllerian mimic, the viceroy butterfly, is similar in color and pattern, but is markedly smaller and has an extra black stripe across each hindwing.
Range :

The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn instinctive migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico.[5] During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multigenerational return north in spring. The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California, but individuals have been found in overwintering Mexican sites, as well.[11][12] In 2009, monarchs were reared on the International Space Station, successfully emerging from pupae located in the station's Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus.

Life span : 3-6 weeks

In North America, monarchs migrate both north and south on an annual basis, in a long-distance journey that is fraught with risks.[5] This is a multi-generational migration, with individual monarchs only making part of the full journey.[102] The population east of the Rocky Mountains attempts to migrate to the sanctuaries of the Mariposa Monarca Biosphere Reserve in the Mexican state of Michoacán and parts of Florida. The western population tries to reach overwintering destinations in various coastal sites in central and southern California. The overwintered population of those east of the Rockies may reach as far north as Texas and Oklahoma during the spring migration. The second, third, and fourth generations return to their northern locations in the United States and Canada in the spring.

[rough hollow]

[sullen merlin]

Lol, whats the deal with tips anyways in us, like i know they have shi wage but then dont work as waiter/waitress

[shell rapids]

I genuinely believe it's just a scheme to get out of paying employees

[hazy gate]

Interesting

[void zinc]

There are thousands of available jobs. Lower standards and pick up a shovel.

[void zinc]

Arguably pay better too.

[full patrol]

They should pay better rather than the resturant relying on tips to pay the employees.

As for "just get a better/different job" it's not always that easy. For some people it's the only job available to them at the time. That's why I'm where I am right now. I took what was available and am looking for better jobs, but at least I'm working somewhere tolerable that's not back breaking work.

[shell rapids]

I hate the get another job mentality to begin. Maybe more jobs should pay a living wage? Idc if we have to tear down the whole system to do it

[full patrol]

Likewise, people don't always get to choose their circumstances or have ideal opportunities.

When I complain about how I don't like my current wage I hate when people say "just get another job". They don't know that I've applied to probably a hundred places in the last few months and gotten 0 responses outside one where I made it to the final interviews
Crazy how employers say "we don't mind if you're a student we hire students!" then immediately drop you the second you say you are

Cherry on top is less people applied than positions were open and we were told we're basically guaranteed to get hired

Guess what didn't happen 🙃

[shell rapids]

I remember once I applied to a local pizza place, they accepted me, but never communicated with me afterwards and then they closed some time later
