>dinosaurs never got extinct?
the majority of them did

>>2470667
>Is it possible that dinosaurs are still alive but nobody's ever seen one because theyve always been in a different place from wherever people were looking?
yes it may be. there's lots of zones where undiscovered animals of considerable size could inhabit.
And then one day they'll come into the cities and we'll all notice dinosaurs everywhere?
no this will never happen unless some of them become skilled scavengers adapted to urban ecosystems

>>2470674
or maybe when we go into the jungles outside the cities we just haven't been looking in the right places

What's the point of getting a pet you will never spend any time with?

>What's the point of getting a pet you will never spend any time with?
This uhhm, unless you can get one that is like 8-10+ y/o and happy sleeping all day and seeing you for like 1-2 hours a day before bed, then theyre gonna be alone from the beginning. Likely bummed out and poorly socialized and bored.

What is your current schedule like?
What is your financial situation like?
How long will you continue to be a student?
What is your expected career once you're no longer a student?
How much support do you have from friends/family who would be able to take care of the dog for a few days/a weekend here and there?

>keep live traps out all the time just because
That's pathologically sadist of you

>it's one of gawker media's sites

A couple days ago I dreamed of a HUGE, friendly and wonderfully fluffy dog (bear size) that laid next to me and warmed me. Then I stopped feeling freezing cold.

In the morning I noticed the window was open and it was getting really fucking cold over night.

I get attacked by a big black dog most of the time. I even killed it once but I still sometimes dream of it, it has been going on for like 4 years.

I still can't get what it means since I'm pretty cool with dogs, especially stray ones.

I'm an /aq/fag so I have recurring nightmares about fish.

They usually focus on me owning a huge tank or an aquarium park, and all the fish dying and then floating bloated on the surface while the water turns into a rancid soup of rotten fish. Usually towards the end of the dream I'm submerged into the tank and the rotten fish water enters my nose and mouth. I can always taste it and smell it. I wake up in terror.

It's probably anxiety because my fish mean more to me than my friends and I'm terrified of killing them by accident.

>>2470325
the shape of their bodies and beaks for one

>>2470421
What about secretaries, vultures, and condors? They certainly don't look like "traditional" raptors, yet they are classified as such.

>>2470608
a vulture with feathers on its face doesn't look very different at all from another raptor

the basic definition is a bird with good binocular eyesight that it uses to track prey, powerful hooked talons and a curved beak for tearing flesh. Storks and the like are excluded because of the lack of talons and curved beaks. But "raptor" isn't an actual taxonomic classification, and how they're all ordered depends on who you ask.

Yes you probably should go to a vet.

And this is why you find a vet you trust. If it is benign, a good vet will be honest with you and not force the procedure on you if it really isn't necessary.

>>2470244
he's only needed to go to a vet once before, he had a tooth that got infected
i took him to the one with the best ratings
it cost a bit more than other ones apparently (i asked my auntie what the normal rate is) and i couldn't bulk bill (like lay-buy) but they seemed ok.
thanks, i've seen other dogs have them for years but he's a good boy and deserves the best i can do.

>>2470242
Let sleeping dogs lie
If it causes him no pain or irritation, there is no need to have it removed. But do keep an eye on it, if it changed in size or causes him discomfort, consult a vet

Is that a Jackson in the background, my dude?

That's a cat

Would give all the luvs/10
Give him extra luvs pls

Show back, then we decide

As far as I know even picking up bones of some species is a federal offence in Burgerland.

As long as you're not literally boasting about doing it on social media it's all good.

>>2468686
what if i share photos of my WC (caught by me in the usa) lizards on social media?

>>2468379
So you got a dog without even researching the breed first? Sounds retarded.

>>2468383
He's cute and I love him

looks more like Basketball Shawquita

I can't tell how old your kitten is but:

Don't give him cow's milk.
Give him wet cat/kitten food.
Feed him every couple of hours, gauge how much food by how much he eats each time.
For bathroom, rub his butthole and penis with a warm wet paper towel.

He looks to be about 2 and a half weeks old. You should be feeding him as much as he wants, no longer than 3-4 hours apart. You can buy kitten milk at a petstore, I'd recommend getting the powder rather than the cans. Rub his butt with a warm damp wash cloth to stimulate his anus so he can poop, kittens can get very constipated.

Cow's milk will not work. If you feel you can't take care of him, turn him over to a shelter. Kittens are a around the clock job at that age.

>>2468046
I'd also recommend getting a bottle, but if not a dropper will also work. When you get a bottle, use a pair or scissors to cut a X on the tip of the nipple. It takes tweaking, but you want it to leak slightly when you turn it upside down.

If you feel like the kitten isn't getting enough nutrition, you can add a couple drops of karo syrup into the milk. And if you feel like his stool is too loose, you can add a couple drops of Pedialyte in it too.

If the kitten gets too dirty, you can wash him with a damp warm wash cloth or use UNSCENTED baby wipes.

This was too perfect

I hope there are no vicious dogs around for miles anon. Claws are for defense.
