Crustacean

the crab originated from spiders that didn't have the nutrients in their environment to make silk, so they would trap their prey in puddles of their urine (they would eat sweet berries to make the urine heavy in glucose to attract flies, sometimes even small hummigbirds for certain species). eventually they adapted to use natural bodies of water, then just began living and hunting in them. so the crab is a spider.

Is a crustacean a type of crab?

>>2317917
Use a turkey baster to squirt the food directly at the cories or use a big net to put the betta in time out for feeding.

Puffer teeth freak me out when freediving. They're much scarier than barracuda, which just peacefully hover.

Not particularly--she does sometimes try and drink from the tap, if you know what I mean, which can be problematic.

only when she sticks her head too far into the bowl. idgaf otherwise

My dog is way too curious about my dick.

Louis Theroux has some good animal documentaries

Anything narrated by David Attenborough and other british documentaries. Also look through a list of old Discovery documentaries that used to air.

Personal fav of mine growing up is Big Cat Diary. It was nothing I went out of my way to watch since I was bored of big cats by then and some episodes had the cats doing fuck all which was nice instead of everything being extreme. You get really attached to them then it rips out your fucking heart.

All of them should be eradicated and their habitats used for human needs 2bh.

Guys my Cockatiel is biting whenever I try to scritch him. How do I make him say my finger is alright

Adopt from a reputable animal shelter. Talk with the employees, tell them what you're looking for, and see which one they recommend.
If you don't like what's available come back at a later date or go to another shelter.
Good luck

I am keeping track on new dogs coming in to shelters but most of them are suggested for experienced keepers and do not really get a long with other animals.

It would be nice though.

>>2319852
Where are you located?

>>2319762
blurry af but i think Asilidae, or robber fly.

>>2319764
I had to snap the pic quick cause it was very aggressive. Hence blurriness

>>2319762
Doesn't really seem to have a coloration of a robber fly. Has fuzzy hair over the whole body.

>>2319733
Numbing agent?

>>2319736

dunno what you mean

>>2319737
Essentially weak painkillers that are applied on the skin, or in this case nose.

Like the stuff the dentist gives you before he injects an actual anesthetic.

Or it could just be anti-itching ointment, which is probably what you want.

>>2319619
Looks like some kind of small bettle larvae. Like a carpet/warehouse beetle

After a little more research I'm thinking it's dermestid larvae

>>2319627
Responded right before I made my post, dermestid/carpet Beatle is what I'm thinking too, thanks for the affirming what I'm thinking

Call the authorities.

Spend more time with him... There's no miracle. Just hope, be a responsible owner and wait

>when he's being petted he bites me out of a sudden
There may not be much helping with this. Sometimes cats are considered over-stimulated, and when they get pet too much they suddenly can not handle it and turn to bite. It's like kitty autism, there's not much you can do except try to look for small indications that he is starting to get overstimulated, or pay attention to generally how long it takes before he gets overstimulated, and stop petting him before it hits that point.

Ignore his hipster facial hair, the info is good. There could be a plethora of other reasons why he might attack due to the environment so you might want to look at some other relevant videos of Jackson also

He was a good friend.

>slipped from the leash
your fault tbqfh famalamadingdong

My dog was ran over when I was 3. All I remember is trying to comfort my crying mother by saying that I'd buy a gun and shoot the gas tank of dude's truck when I grew up.

Its hairless it can only be a sphinx have you never seen these cats before??

>>2319206
Sphinx look like they have even less hair though

Looks like a cornish rex senpai, they are the same build and character as the sphinx but with short, stubbly hair. Cute.

Put him on his leash, and walk him up the stairs several times.

>>2318530
tried, he wont budge He will pull back and choke himself and just stand his ground

he will put his front paws up, he wont step up with his back legs though

>>2318532
You have to be persistent.
Anytime you train a dog on a leash you can't just give up. You keep working with them and become more stubborn than the dog. Once the dog knows you are not going to give in, they accept it and do what you tell them. Even if that means walking up steps that they refuse to do.

>>2318412
Yes, wolves are among the strongest animals on earth.

They are very shy animal I doubt you would see wolves in your backyard unless :

-Theyre fucking hungry
-You skinned a whole beef and let it dry.

It's a coyote
