Why do people continue to fuck with hippos? Just because they aren't scary looking doesn't make them not dangerous.

Post hippo pics, videos of hippo attacks and other stories.

Hippos are the most vicious, aggressive animals on this planet and will attack and pursue you for no reason but to stomp you until you're a puddle of blood.

They're probably the single most violent and dangerous species on this planet and if I ever saw one I would get the fuck out as soon as humanly possible.

Fuck Hippos. Why'd stupid fucking Euro hunters have to kill Tigers and Elephants when these creatures of Satan roam the earth?

I'd much rather be facing a Lion, Shark or Tiger than a Hippo. At least it isn't guaranteed that those will try to kill you, maybe they're full..

Can anyone identify the breed(s) of this puppy?
>>
>>2198527
It looks like it could be a German shepherd/Rottweiler mix, though I can't speak with any authority.

The fur is characteristically German shepherd.

Hi, I really wanted to get a dog for a long time now, the problem is that I live alone and I'm out at work about 10 hours a day - 5, sometimes 6 days a week, so the little voice in my head tells me that it would be cruel and bad for dogs' mental and physical health to be locked in the room alone most of the day.. Is the little voice right? I bet it is... :(

Very cute animals that are unconventional or may not be known to the general public.

Starting with "sea bunnies"

My rabbit will take little knicknacks, laboriously climb to the mantle on top of the fireplace (and he has to take this indirect hopping route to get there, it's too high up for him to make the jump from the ground) throw them off, and then hop all the way back down to the ground, pick them up again, to repeat the process about 4-5 times.

So I got 2 dogs, both rescues, both good dogs 90% of the time.

HOWEVER

One of them pisses on the couch fairly frequently. And always in the spot the other dog lays in.

I've taken a few measures (less water throughout the day, a walk before I leave the house) and the dog still does it. Oddly enough it's only when my wife and I leave the house at the same time, so I'm sure it's some kind of stress thing.

Any tips? I've been trying to break this habit for about 3 years now but nothing really seems to work.

Pic related but not my couch. I wouldn't be caught dead with that thing in my house.

Don't let them on the couch, and get some plastic sofa bullshit. Also throw the goddamn couch out if its been pissing on it for years.

Could try crating the dog too when you leave as long as you aren't gone for so many hours.
>>
Prevention is the best solution.
>>
Kennel them when you leave, put them outside in a fenced area, or put something on the couch to keep them off of it when your not there. Like a clothes basket or small chair, etc. I would also not allow them on the couch at all anymore regardless if I was home or not. For separation anxiety, You could get some anxiety meds from the vet for the dogs or try bachs rescue remedy.

Other than the couch pissing thing are they otherwise house broken?

I know it probably won't be well received but I would bust my dogs ass immediatley if I caught him pissing on the couch.

I was petting my cat this morning and I noticed he had a little bump on his neck. I pulled it out thinking it was just some knotted fur, a scab or some plant and it was this. Can anyone tell me what kind of tick this is if it is one and what my next step should be. Sorry for low quality my phone's camera wouldnt focus.

Hello /an/, I have a 7 year old female cat that I just adopted a few months ago. She seemed abused so I tried to make her comfortable as possible but she still doesnt like being petted or picked up and/or moved for a second. Like I let her pet herself by holding my hand out and she rubs her face against it.. she just meows a ton but even for a second trying to pet her back she turns her meow into a growl. Out of all this, for some reason she gets on my chest to lay down but still won't let me touch her etc. So how or what can I do to to fix this issue? I feel bad cause they were gonna put her down at the humane society so I scooped her up.

Give her more time to warm up to you. Depending on the severity of her abuse, it could take her a longer time to recover. Just avoid approaching her directly and always let her come to you, maybe even invest in a toy to play with her.
>>
>>2212889
The funny part was today I ended up playing with her by doing the old trick of putting the hand under the covers and moved around and she loved it. I kinda always make sure that the front of my body isnt facing her whenever I approach her. You can tell how much she's been abused.. emotionally wise. I make sure she never is in contact with my other cats, she is the only one in my bedroom at all times. I'm just worried that she'll end up being broken forever. I've already avoiding towering her since I know cats hate it. I wish I could read cats minds.
>>
Pick up some treats (my cat loves Temptations) and give her as many as she'll eat. She'll learn to associate being on/near you is a positive thing.

Some cats just aren't snuggly, she might be one of those. Good on you for taking in an unwanted cat!

It's a bit hard to tell.

Does your apartment complex have a weight limit for dogs? Is that what you are worried about?

Its a puppy. I assume a few months? It was a rescue
