What is the likelihood that there are massive sea creatures dormant in the unexplored depths of our oceans, such as in the Mariana Trench?

I've always been fascinated by the concept of things like sea serpents, leviathans, and the like. Aquatic cryptozoology.

Anyone here have experience with cows?

Next to my house there were these 3 cows, a mother and two calves doing cow things in a field. The calves are quite big now, but still look fairly young.

Last week someone came to take the old cow away, probably to "euthanize" it for meat. The calves keep mooing, was a bit painful to see to be honest.

Problem is, even now, some seven days later, the calves will moo, sometimes in the middle of the night, and I don't know if I'm projecting, but it's getting a bit crushing to hear them and feeling like they're calling out for the mom. They had time to forget about the separation already, right? I mean, how fucking smart can they be?

Don't know what to do, I've thought about everything, from moving, to hanging myself in the garage. This sure triggered some weird synapses.

Pitbulls are fucking cancer and so are pitbull apologists. We keep all our animals indoors because the people next door have a pitbull chained up 24/7. Newsflash, theyre niggers. And for the record I live in easternTN where there arent that many black people, and what a coincidence, one of the few have the stereotypical nigger dog that maims and kills people.

Also forgot to mention that the dumb fucker jumped on the elderly lady next door to them when it got loose, police came and shot the dog and our tax dollars paid to have it stitched up and rehabilitated. Yes the fucker survived.

So, the other day, one of my poison dart frogs died but I have no clue why.
He had plenty of food, good moisture, and moderately warm environment. He was also in a tank with 3 other frogs who are still active and (from what I can tell) happy.
Anybody else here own dart frogs and have them die for some common but unknown reason? Ty bb.

I think my cat has a urinary tract infection. Is this very painful for him? Is it something that can wait until Monday or do I need to hurry and get him to an emergency vet tomorrow?

So I got a little hamster yesterday, and I'm a bit worried about how he's acclimating to my house.
He's been a very calm guy, would crawl around on my hands from the minute I took him out of the box. Gave him a little time to run around on the floor, he wasn't fast at all so catching him was no problem.
He ate okay the first day, sitting in his bowl every half hour to an hour or so, rolling in it and kicking it all over his cage.
Nearing the end of the first day, around 6pm to ~3am he was just sitting in his little plastic castle, napping.
I didn't really think it was abnormal, given the sudden change in habitat, but thought it was strange he was asleep that late into the night.
Next day, I come back out and he's still in his bed. And has been in his bed 99% of the day, from about 12-8pm (now).
He's come out to take a few nibbles of food, run on his wheel for a few seconds, went up to the second floor of his cage to carry toilet paper down into his plastic castle on the first floor, and go back to sleep.

He doesn't seem to have any trust issues with me, as he'll crawl most of the way into my hand when he is rarely awake, and crawl around on my hands/arms. I feel like he's not getting the exorcise he needs, and he hasn't shown any interest in drinking from his water bottle.
I'm probably concerned over nothing, but this being my first hamster, I would rather not have him die from dehydration/illness.
