So, here's what happened. Around two hours ago I found a stray kitten in my house that seems to be the offspring of a stray cat that my mom often feeds. It's around two months old. It a bit wild because it bite me and tried to escape by all means. My plans are to domesticate it and then give it to a nice family. Is it possible? Should I go on with my plan or give it to its mom and don't worry about its health? Can you give any tips? Thanks.

pic somewhat related, it looks like him.

tl;dr I found a (somewhat wild) stray kitten, should I attempt to domesticate it or release it?

What did Crichton mean by this?

Is there a legit list about the real species discovered/described by Marsh?

I saw this animal by the lake's shore in Toronto. I don't ever post on this board but I just want to know what it is. I think it's a mink but perhaps someone else knows better

sup /an/
my friend is giving away a 6 month old staffy x american bulldog for freeeee and I really wanna adopt it BUT i've never had a dog before. I'm a big animal guy in general but i've only owned cats and one frog, and I currently own one small cat. Is there anything I should know before I adopt it and is it a violent breed?

I don't mind it being a big guy 4 me but I don't want to risk adopting something that could end up being violent

I don't have a cell phone because I don't want to appear like one of those millennial hipster fucks that treats it like a life support mechanism and wears it glued to their face at every opportunity, but not having one really bit me in the ass yesterday.

I took a decently long trip yesterday and missed out on seeing a very rare bird because I simply didn't know to check a certain spot that I ended up driving right by three times. If I'd had internet access in any form I could have checked the local forums and seen all the reports of it. It really shits me that I drove all that way and missed it. Between being able to look up all IDs with photos, pulling up their songs on command, and just checking eBird and other forums it seems like in this day and age having a cell phone is as essential to birdwatching as having a pair of binoculars. I have a Sibley guide that I barely even take out with me anymore because I have no way to carry it and don't feel like wearing an entire backpack just for one book, whereas a phone would fit in my pocket (though the size they make these things these days it's questionable).

So what I'm getting at is I have zero knowledge of these devices and I hear people occasionally mention all the good programs (not "apps" you hipster fuckwits) that are useful but I never paid any attention so I need to know what are the best ones to get so I can make sure a phone (if I get one) will support them. I do know of Merlin and eBird but other than that I'm clueless.

What the fuck is up with people (typically women) and being extremely annoying about their dogs?

I have worked a variety of jobs throughout my adulthood, and at all of them, I would see dog owners sneaking their non-service animals inside like it was nothing. At one point I worked at a grocery store that had a hot food bar. A woman brought in her retarded labrador, who kept trying to climb up on the bar and eat the food. I wound up having to throw all of it out just in case he came in contact with it. When my boss told her to leave, she flipped shit and went on about how the dog was "her child" and "he has rights too," then threatened to report us to the higher management who would also tell her to fuck off due to food safety protocols.

I just don't understand why these "people" can't just leave their animals at home. It's not like your dog is going to have a nervous breakdown being away from you for several hours. That said, my boss at work has often had to go home early because his wife's shitzus supposedly start shitting everywhere if someone doesn't walk them every 4 hours. I feel like at that point maybe you should look into getting less retarded animals.

>implying its really extinct

All that aside what creature do you morn more than any?
For me, I'm forever pissed that I'll probably never see one of these in the zoo unless those geneticists get off their asses and do something about it.
>the tragedy that is the Stellar Sea Cow

Those poor bastards, they were like mini whales and they died so horribly and needlessly. Fuck it's such a damn shame.
