THEY DOGS

No and don't even try to adopt one. They may look edgy but they're shitty pets. Stick to dogs.

yes

From a rational perspective, I wonder what the penguin is actually doing, if the claims are true that it spends hours staring at it.

>>2368381
Maybe because it's a new thing in the enclosure that he's fascinated with it

according to /a/ it's a clickbait with some false information, but I'm too lazy to research further.

Because they decided to replace them with the human equivalent

In Russia wolves are far from being exterminated. As you remember (I hope), part of Russia is European. Western Europe is settled too densely - no place for wildlife.

Why didn't the doggo protect her?

>>2365327
Muh freedoms.

Also girl in video isn't stupid. I've been following her channel for a while and she seems very knowledgeable on animal behavoir. I suppose shit like that happens once in a while. It's quite spooky.

it allows the problem to correct itself

I hope you have more than one. Rats are social animals. He does that because he's suffering for companionship.

I have a pair of males that get to free-roam daily and they still do that shit every time I make a noise, like they've been locked in their (large, well-decorated) cage for a month straight.

That said, rats SHOULD be in at least pairs.

Dat long lifespan!

Also some neat guard cat potential thereabouts, but maybe that's something a little bigger still.

They're good, just be prepared that most rental properties won't allow that breed to live in their apartment complex.

What is the difference behavior wise between a pitbull and a rottweiler? And why are both so popular and prevalent in low-income areas in cities and urban areas?

>>2370603
A rottweiler has the potential to be a decent dog

>>2369851
What is your reason for not wanting 2 when you are asking about very social animals? One person does not take the place of a second rat or pig.

>>2369851
>that file name.
It's not a problem. My mice would escargot and get into the guinea pig cage all the time. The piggies just ignored them. The main concern was the mice getting into the Timothy hay.

>>2369851
I kept guineas and rats and tried to introduce them. Problem is they socialize very differently. Rats tend to get in the face of and wrestle around with a new friend, while guineas will stance and size eachother up. It just lead to the guinea getting nipped slightly and peed on by the other rat.

Unfortunately you cannot have either of those animals by itself. They are extremely social and will get depressed if they don't have a friend or your constant attention. You can try to get one male guinea (as I've found males to be more independent to the point of introversion) and see if it is fine on its own, but it most likely will develop depression.

>>2369835
Where do you live? Yeah, looks like a widow.
Catch it and take good care of her for the rest of her life.

>>2369835

>>2369835
Steatoda not a widow.

a rock.
there is no living thing you should be taking care of with that mind set.

>>2369808
definitely not that

Don't do it, your dick will fall off

>>2369787
Friend had one, it's perfectly treatable, just ask your vet for guidance.

>>2369787
Why
Just have it euthanized
a quick death beats endless suffering

>>2369717
Makes me curious if animals have regional languages like we do

Do asian elephants speak the same as african elephants?

>>2369724
I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure certain species of whales have their own regional dialects.

>>2369724
Different groups of animals of the same species can have their own way to communicate between them.

How about stop trying to buttfuck the local ecology for the rest of us?

We had a crippled crow in our yard three winters ago. It could walk and hop through snow, and flap it's way into the lower branches of the conifers when our dog got after it. Not mortally injured, but was alone during a very brutal winter.
We have a feeder for songbirds, and it would root around and pick off casts in the snow. My wife was worried. She thinks crows are sinister.

Okay, I say, Its just going to starve and freeze. I'll put it down.
Noooo!
Then we need to make it our friend.

I put out a plate of food at the base of the feeder every day for over a week. Leftover pasta, meat scraps, veggies,. That black bastard ate well. He would watch me from 60 feet away, and by the time I removed my boots and was back in the house, he'd be eating. We noticed him flying a bit better, but then he was gone. The food went uneaten.
Today, every early afternoon, three crows come into the yard. Two lookouts, and one works the soil by the feeder. We assume it's the same bird, but of course we aren't positive. They all look alike.

Yes, goy. Feed us! We're so intelligent and you want to be our friends, goy. If you're really a friend of crows, then you will shelter us too whenever we demand it.

Let him out to shit. That dog isn't a fagot, he's full of shit.

>>2369655
kick him every time he makes this face

problem solved

>>2369655
Make the same face back at him until he stops.

only buy one if you have a garden

Wash your hands after touching it.
