Spot is a 6 year old mini Schnauzer mutt. He's been with us since March. I think we've finally got his allergies under control

My understanding that this tiny 30lb faggot is a lab mix of some kind according to the pound. I've heard people say he's part Australian cattle dog or something but he's way too small so I really have no idea.

That's quite formidable. So significant sizes are possible, it seems.
Does blood provide the nutrients required to support larger animals, like primates for instance? Could a larger predator develop to subsist entirely on blood, realistically?

I acknowledge my questions are fueled mostly by a childish curiosity that must seem juvenile, but I'm seriously interested in hypothetical nature and vampirism in larger animals.

>>2438042
In theory, yes. But in reality there are no hosts big enough where something the size of a monkey could just latch on and succ unnoticed.

A shot of its dorsal side would be helpful.

I have no mouth and I must breed

they're harmless and beautiful, what the fuck is your problem?

>>2437646
They only have a few weeks left to live and they need to get laid.

Well, that depends. Do you live in the Norwegian forests or in Siberia?

go to shelter and pick first one

>>2437569
I would suggest, breeder-enabling cunt, to do what he said >>2437600

they probably smell like healthy dogs, so that's subjective

haha

>>2437401
fucking degenerate

Country Ausfag here.

Yes and no.

By and large 99% of them just want to be left the fuck alone and will only really arc up when some cunt pisses them off, but if they do get angry then they can fuck you up.

But almost always they're not interested in that, with some notable exceptions. Breeding season Sydney funnel webs get pretty angry and they roam which means you can find them on the back lawn or (occasionally) in the house. Cassowaries are rare, and you have to be pretty unlucky to find one in the mood for ruining your day. There is a couple of different snakes that'll chase you if they're in the mood, but again you have to be pretty unlucky.

As far as the flora and fauna are concerned, the price of living in Australia is eternal vigilance. Living with the wildlife is easy provided you take precautions and know what you are dealing with if one of them does get pissed off that his great new home turns out to be your gumboot.

tl;dr: If you go sticking your dick into stupid places without checking that happens to have an animal that does not take kindly to your presence, it will hurt you. What a fucking shocker.

no look at it.

I live in Melbourne's suburban areas and I have not seen any of Australia's dangerous animals. Yes spiders are everywhere, like anywhere else on Earth, but most of them are either daddy long-legs or huntsmans (both non-lethal). Unless you are in the outback/countryside you won't run into anything that could kill you.

>>2437058
the handling shouldn't be a problem I think. I've kept dead stag beetles stored dry for months before I went on to pin them and I was still able to move and bend the legs without them breaking.
I don't think paint would pose much of a problem either, chitin is pretty tough. might help to still read up on the chemical characteristics of it though.

>>2437072
Thanks for the input. That also makes me think of the issue with affixing pieces. I need to read up on if glue/pinning/epoxy would be best. Thanks again.

They do get delicate, I'd recommend put him in a small glass box.

>>2436753
>gentle, considerate. and empathetic
only applies to mammal fags, and even then, the empathy is often limited to animals, turning them into "kill human to save animal" misanthropes.

>>2436753
Yes, they're called men. And animals have an actual emotional range.

>I keep expecting other people to be gentle, considerate. and empathetic to yuge disappointment.
That's because human males are pure fucking garbage.

>webbed fingers and toes

Colugo? Wrong part of the world and mouth.

reminds me of an antiques roadshow where a guy came in dressed like an old timey explorer indiana jones type guy, with all these little figurines from mexico

and they were all fucking fakes

it was great

It's a speed demon. Give it some drugs and paint flames on it to make it go faster, then release it and post the video.

Stronk

>>2436226

Nigger.
