Hi /an/,
I'm living in central europe where your average spider is like 1 cm in diameter. I just saw pick related in my room.
What on earth is it and do I burn my house down?

First of all, you should know that the odds of it being lethally venomous are almost null, so relax.
Second, your country would help in identification. If you don't feel comfortable telling, look up an online spider identification guide with your country as an input.
>>2198605
The Netherlands. Had visits from people from Malta and the UK recently.
That's a Brown Recluse.
You better burn your house down.
What is this?
>>2198559
Kinda blurry. Cicada nymph/exuvia maybe?
>>2198563
It was the best pic I had. o took another one, but I zoomed out
>>2198639
That's actually a better one. Definitely a cicada.
Hey, /an/,
Long story short my cat was about to jump up on to the oven while it was on. He would've burnt himself pretty badly but I got lucky and caught him by the nape mid-flight. I cradled him, set him down immediately, he hissed and ran off.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand my good intentions and is pretty pissed at me. Won't even come out to eat when I'm there, just stares at me from across the house or runs away.
What do, /an/? It's been a week of this.
>>2198549
inb4 new cat, euthanize, rehome
I've had him almost 2 years since he was a kit. Don't want to lose him :[
Don't feed him for 2 days. On the third day, feed him, but stand right next to his bowl
>>2198549
Get a pet that actually likes you. This is the perfect example of cats being unable to form emotional bonds with humans.
Cute little critter lives to see another day:

Wow, that was crazy. I'm glad the seal got away. He looked so cute.
I remember an older video with a penguin doing this too.

There are also a couple of other videos where seals jump on boats because they're tired of swimming and want to rest, or some videos where they approach humans just because they appear to be curious. Those kinds of seal encounters seem pretty cool.
>>2198544
Fuck orcas. Glad theyre in tanks desu.

Are these estimates based on the sound "they" made or just pure wankery?
Sup /an/,
Just got back from the puppy farm a few days ago but my dog is way too active.
What should i do to calm him down?
>>2198499
declaw it
>>2198499
It's a puppy.
Puppies are very active.
Do your research.
Can you explain just how active/hyper he is?
I don't know much about dogs, but just curious.
Can we have an Arachnid thread?
for questions, pics and care tips
Animal Mourning Thread
How do you guys deal with the passing of a pet?
My 4 year old white bellied clique died in the night and I don't know what to do with myself.
Any tips on funeral pyre construction? She was fierce in life, she should be fierce in death.

Play this when you light the fire OP. It'll be cool as fuck.

>>2198376
Will do. Got any other pyre appropriate sins?
Just curious, but is it necessarily true that dogs till bond more closely to you if you get them as puppies? I've had my 7 year old lab for almost 7 months, and he acts as if I've had him his whole life.
Sorry for sideways pic.

>tfw listening to puppy cry for hours on end everynight for a week straight

>>2198357
Your puppy's a cutie.
>>2198354
Anon, please don't do this. I want a nice, civil thread.
>>2198357
Sorry to hear that. I hope whatever was bothering it eventually passed.
I study snakes. Ask me anything pertaining to pet snake care, wild snakes in your area, identification, hot (venomous) snakes, etc.
>>2198288
What's the longest timeframe I should keep rattlers in my freezer before skinning to avoid hide degradation?
>>2198294
I concern myself with the living.
>>2198295
Darwin and Audubon would be disappointed in you.
Do you know what a mallard smells like?

i know gay man on man animals is real because ive seen 2 men sheep fucking
but i have NEVER heard of a lesbian animal. is it real?
would also like to know this
Bonobo females are known to rub their genital swellings against each other. I'm sure there are other examples but this is what comes to mind
>>2198185
Not sure about lesbian, but my sister's dog is a fucking homo. He will try and put his dick in every male dog he sees.
Are giant centipedes hard to keep?
>>2198181
no, the tank just needs to be 110% safe to avoid them escaping
>>2198189
How safe are we talking?
High glass enclosure with good lid?
Some species have different humidity requirements.
What youtube dog trainer do you use the most when training your puppy? Who is the best one and who are ones that should be avoided?
I've been watching Zak George for a while and really like his stuff, I also own his book which is very helpful. But I want to know who are some other good ones to check out.

He advocates punishing dogs and correcting them, I'm not about that life.
Dogs, especially puppies don't know what they're doing when they do something wrong
>>2198212
I think his successful business speaks for itself.
Let's talk health. There's a lot to discuss. First aid, diseases, etc.cAlso, post any educational images you have.
I'm surprised most people don't realize that FIV is a thing. Many people let their cat out but don't realize that their cat can become FIV+ and they won't notice.
