Less high strung and/or just happened to be the ones who got domesticated. With domestic rabbits, there is basically no need for domestic hares.

Wow. Dumb phone flipped image. Here's a batter one. I'm pretty sure she's a tabby but I'm just confirming.

>>2267213
She's a mutt--just like every other one of these vermin running the streets.

Well the thing was I'm not positive she was a "stray" perse. She was very clean and had no worms or wasn't super skinny or none of that average stray cat stuff. She just wouldn't leave our house alone and never went home so we took her in.

I want to study medicine but I love biology/zoology in general just as much if not more
Say I finish my bio major and can't get into a med program
What are some jobs that involve animals and nature (not medical related) and what do you do?

you don't need to bump threads on /an/. and just do molecular/genetics work if you want to be useful but focus on some animal model rather than humans. You can do work in the field collecting specimens and then do whatever analyses in the lab.

Why do you want to do this?

Don't take the question as an attack. It's not.

Thats a dragoon pistol and basic horsemanship.

>>2266781
yea, but how u steer a horse?

>>2266785
Training. You build trust and a bond with the animal, then thru repetition and patience the horse will learn basic commands.
Each horse and trainers is different, but typically right and left are controlled by the reigns. If direction is taught by both pulling the right or left reign and a vocal command then with experience a rider could possibly direct the horse with just the vocal whenever they need to.
A horse can get accustomed to gunfire as well, there is just not much of a need for it in today's world. That would be more of a specific training, as well as steering the horse without the reigns.

Dwarf caiman

>>2266540
it wouldn't still be cycled but it would speed it up quite a bit. 10g is way bigger than a 75g though so I can't imagine it would happen in sooner than a few weeks.

>>2266542
But then again if it's 75gal and it's so big, would it be okay to add 10 small neon tetras while it cycles, I'm saying this assuming their biowaste is too small to spike up ammonia, or that my 10gal stuff is enough to "cancel it out", I could be wrong though, correct me if so

>>2266540
Did you use the filter media from the 10 gallon? If so you're good. It'll speed it up. I went from a 30 to 75 and added everything and filter media to new filter and cycled within a week.

>waiting for the anons to tell me even though I added everything and end of cycle levels were 0, 0, 10 that my tank wasn't cycled.

No you idiot. Just because it's black and tan doesn't mean it's a Doberman. Many dogs have that coloration.

>>2266349
Chances are OP that dog is a mutt upon mutt. If it didn't come from a reputable breeder it probably has pit bull in it. But buying a mutt is already a scam, so yes you're being rused.

>>2266432

Join a volunteer program. Half the employees at any animal-related place are volunteers. The other half have loads of experience (from volunteering) and probably 3 or 4 degrees. Competition is fierce for those kinds of jobs and employees can be very picky and pay you shit and get away with it.

Also, if you love animals, never work with them. Ever. It will crush your soul when you learn, for example, what goes on behind those swinging doors at the Petco grooming salon - where they take the animals that aren't super-excited about nail trims.

Animals are treated like animals when no one is looking. You're better not seeing that.

I'm a vet tech in Spring Hill, TN.

>>2266357
i like animals but i wouldn't say i love love them. A few years ago my dog died by being hit by a car and i got over it in like a day which sort of surprised me. But what do you mean by >where they take the animals that aren't super-excited about nail trims.

Australian if that helps

Let me make this easy for you.

Capsaicin (the chemical that makes peppers "hot") is a chemical defense manufactured by the plant to make their fruits unpalatable to mammals.

Birds are a much more effective distibutor of seeds for the wild pepper plants.
Capsaicin binds specifically to receptors in mammal nerves.
It has no effect on birds.
