I can't keep chickens around here because mountain lions WILL come. Keeping geese and a pond might be good enough to keep away coyotes. Lions really are something else, though.

I absolutely love trees and I got my own property pretty much to plant lovely trees
Today I was tree browsing and was charmed by a handsome golden willow (pic related), willows are my all-time favorite tree and I could not wait to get that bad moffoe in the ground and dreamed about having a massive willow hanging over my house.
Now that the tree is planted i'm reading lots of stuff on the internet about how willows are the most awful tree and they have no place in a neighborhood, although there were lots around when I was growing up.
I planted the tree about 20 feet away from my house which I thought was plenty of room but some people are saying it will destroy everything within 100 feet and break all of your pipes.
Does anyone have any experience with large willows? Should I get rid of it now? or is it not really that bad?

Anybody here planted a pawpaw tree? I've got one and I'm not sure where I want to put it. Seems to be an understory tree but I don't want to plant them in the woods.

You need two to get pawpaws. They like shade so yeah the very edge of a treeline

it's just a fig eater beetle, but when their wings are spread they are beautiful. I'd love to find a way to do that.

it's really hard to pin and pose dead insects because of the lack of moisture and hardening of the joints, but you can try. when i had entomology classes i'd scavenge dead bugs for the collections and i'd say i had about a 50% rate of success. the fresher the better, work slow and gentle to pose and open the legs and wings.

>Tupperware box
>Paper towels on the bottom
>a bit of water and vinegar
>place bug in the papertowel
>close the lid tightly
Wait 1-7 days
perfectly plyable again, that's what I do when I get dead beetles in (and they were often collected a few months ago, depending on species)

You can only blame the owners for lacking responsibility. Even if you think pittbulls are aggressive, demonic helldogs it is still the owners job to keep the animal in-line. I hope they cover your bill, I had a similar experience and they paid as an apology.

This is my enclosure for my bearded dragon named Sasha. I have a sand mat, which is a reptile carpet fashioned to look like sand. She has a hide, which is located under the purple heat lamp (which is usually on) so that she can stay nice and warm, and if she needs to she can climb on top. I hand feed her daily with crickets dusted with either flukers repti-cal or reptimin, and the crickets are kept alive with the flukers orange cubes. The crickets are held in a ten gallon tank. Her tank is a 20 gallon, and as she grows I will eventually get a 50 gallon for her. I bathe her weekly and mist her once daily with water treated with repti-safe. I. just recently cleaned her mat off, and I don't use chemicals or soap when cleaning it. I also wiped the inside of her enclosure a little bit with water. She gets handled often.
Is there anything I can do to ensure that she's more happy and healthy? I've raised reptiles with my dad before but this is my. first one that I'm doing on my own. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I usually only hold her when I need to clean out her enclosure or for when I'm feeding her.

Hey, /an/
On my walk to work a few weeks ago I came across a dead squirrel in tne sidewalk. Except this squirrel was pretty big, had absolutely no hair, and was bright pink. I wish I took pictures. What was wrong with it? Why was it like that? It had no signs of trauma so it's not like someone skinned it and tossed it to explain the hairlessness.

Lots of things can lose their hair if they get a skin disease. Pic is a black bear.

Yeah, but this thing was BRIGHT pink. OP pic is a hairless squirrel and his skin is grey like his fur would be.

24/7 livestreamed virtual reality safari, from anywhere in the world.
Because zoos aren't great for saving large migratory animals and people just want to stare at animals anyway.

And also because nature documentaries are more like a piece of art than an accurate depiction of the wild, as hard as they try to be the latter also.

What'll be next? 24/7 livestreamed VR forests, jungles, grasslands, savannas?
