Tell your neighbors to suck on your meaty cock. Your decision on how to get your dog to behave isnt up to them. Some dogs don't like crates. Could you confine him to a room instead? Make sure he has some place to sleep.

Pheromone plus ins?

Record yourself sitting on your couch and occasionally calling dog's name. Play on loop while gone. Works for us.

I have a dog with dysplasia in every leg and a non-functional pancreas.

My moms dog has bad arthritis in his back legs. Got him some rubber things for his claws. He has been so happy now that he dosnt struggle to get up.

I had a cat with feline cerebellar hypoplasia, and a cat that was missing an eye

Siamese fighting fish (bettas) have a big personality in a little body. This isn't a flaw but I just wanted to say that newbies don't understand that these fish need several gallons in their tank, they shouldn't be housed in a vase or bowl. So many people get it wrong that it's cringeworthy.

That goes for all fish: the more gallons, the better

>>2233491
I always thought fish had no personality until I met my friend's! Her goldfish tries to cuddle with her catfish and the catfish will sometimes swat him away with its paw. Most of her fish also rush to the top of their tanks when they see her (probably because they associate her with food but it's still cute)

The space requirements for small mammals are always heavily underestimated. Bunnies for instance should really have at least a 4 sqm pen available to always have enough space to hop around. Keeping them in a cage and only letting them out for limited amounts of time is not a solution.

Their diets are also often awful. The pet store pellets and stuff are equivalent to junk food for humans. They will fatten up the animals and can cause teeth/organ issues.

Araneus diadematus or something closely related to it, depending on where you live

Irish elk. They would make one bad ass mount.

Southeast va here. I take great interest in the local wildlife. Love to observe different insects, spiders, and small fauna (herps, fish, birbs). I learn the common names for most species and use my Audubon field guides to identify read up on things frequently.

That said I know next to nothing about native plants/trees and most of what I do know is anecdotal, have never gone mich deeper than just identification and observation. Never really studied the science or ecology side of it.

Pic related is a juvenile eastern box turtle I found the other day

I draw the ecological designs for my areas wildlife/forestry projects.

it's mostly just a logical placement of natural barriers (like dead hedges, raised hugelkultures, hedge laying) in combination with ditches and roads/pathways.

Pretty neat! Both of you.

No idea but that is a beautiful little critter.

Indeed, and really big too, it's about 4-5 cm long. A nice beast for sure.

Aaaaaand a "how to properly save a fucking animal without being able to reach animalsaving hotlines"-thread

>Im not a big fan of saving animals, as it is part of nature

Appeal to nature is a logical fallacy.

>>2233245
Sorry to hear that men.

Looked like a nice birb, I hope you find the will, to try and save another animal in the future.

Lowest quality bait I have ever seen

I hate this meme. Dont buy a dog if you're gonna put him in a cage.

>Yuroshits so assblasted about crates they make shitty bait threads about them

I want Yuros to leave 4chan. This place would be much better without them.

modern dinosaurs are old dinosaurs.
there's few older. Certainly none that lasted as long.

Jack Horner is a hack

>>2233107
1. chickens are already dinosaurs, all birds are.
2. the "dormant" genes he wants to turn on don't exist anymore. Like other useless organs in biology, they went away.
3. it's a nice idea, but he's going to have to add genes, not just activate existing ones.
4. He's already succeeded in his quest, the idea alone has gotten more attention from the general public than has the last 20 years of real dinosaur paleontology. Getting attention is more profitable than making raptor chickens.

>>2233127
>the "dormant" genes he wants to turn on don't exist anymore
you are not entirely right there, the "experiment" where you mix rodent sequences into the genes of the chicken to make it grow molars is not necessary

you can induce the forming of teeth like structures as well as a broader 'snout like' beak by blocking certain proteins that otherwise block the formation of said structures.

I could explain it in detail, but I don't want to, maybe you can find something via google

They were never even slightly funny.
