This is some kind of crab spider, I think.

>>2174012
This is the female of that crab spider, couldn't get a better picture, I'm using the phone.

Don't even bother with buying a single beetle; you should definitely get a pair. They don't live very long (2-5 months) and you never know how old they are when you buy adult beetles.
Dynastes and Goliathus both need at least 6 inches of substrate if not more in order to hide and lay eggs.
Goliath beetles are active during the day so a light source might be a good idea while Hercules beetles and other Dynastinae are mostly active in the late afternoon and at night.
Give them some thick branches/sticks to climb on and put some moss and dry leaves on the surface of the substrate; otherwise don't even try to decorate the terrarium - they might turn everything upside down while digging and crawling around.
Feed them mango and banana; Beetle Jelly is also fine but the beetles I've kept so far ignored the jelly and went straight for the fruits.
If you plan to breed them (pretty much the only reason to even bother with short-lived beetles) expect to take care of the larvae for 2-3 years depending on circumstances such as temperature, quality of substrate, humidity and larvae density in a single box until the beetles hatch.

Just be warned, beetles have a pretty short lifespan.

If you're wanting something with more longevity, I'd recommend a cockroach or a spider.

Breeding Goliathus is pretty involved.

>>2173814
What this guy didn't tell you is that Goliathus larvae actually feed on well-rotted wood infested with algae, which can be difficult to replicate in reliable quantities.

i wouldn't want the wolf to be killed but it's ultimately the responsibility of the zoo to ensure that 4 year old fingers can't reach the animals

>>2172164
that can't be true

if it were my child, I would trust the staff's word that it had all the shots

I would NEVER demand to kill an animal, just because my child did something stupid, which I most likely could have prevented

the mother is just a stupid bitch in my opinion

Justice for wolf. When will all these innocent animals being killed demand justice. #animallivesmatter

I will second this.

by all means go get mauled by a wolf

Why do they( and fox too) look like dogs but bigger?

>>2170464
summary:
>they look a bit like human skin
>warm blood

That's it
You're a dumbass

Worms definitely do not have mammary glands or hair two common traits of mammals.

Fyi they aren't insects either

>>2170475
Theyre arthropods right?

Seems pretty accurate to me. I thought the whole "some dinos had feathers" thing would be old news by now.

>>2166908
That's actually pretty cool.

It says speculative feathers inferred by phylogenetic bracketing. It doesn't say t rex definitely has feathers, so people shouldn't be triggered by this.
Also, this is the Anzu from saurian, looks like they're using Bustard proportions in sexual dimorphism.

...matters.

post garbage like this on the internet.

Humans are the only herbivore that eats meat by choice.

Are you fucking stupid?
Stop putting chemicals on your dog, retard, and brush him.
He's severely allergic to the garbage you're squirting on him. Enjoy torturing your dog.
One day animal cruelty guidelines will put stupid fucking owners like you in jail for perfuming your dog.

>>2176121
motherfucker Im talking about giving my dog a bath not spraying perfumes in his eyes

Do you not wash your fucking pets? Im just looking for a quality dog shampoo

>>2176125
>bleach your dog
>expect sympathy

Get a fucking whitening porphyria breed spray you massive fuck. Shi-tzus, poodles and bischons have specialty sprays that whiten the fur.
And no, they don't work from what I'm told.

You fucking bleached your dog, why do you think I'm mad? Animals fucking die when they smell bleach.

I also have a problem with those plant flies things, and now it seems like mold, I used to over water them, now I only water twice a week but now this is happening

so this is what happened,
i saw my plants two days ago, theyre usually behind my curtains, so i dont see them, i checked them out this morning, and I saw the cute large mushroom, I went to work, came back 7 hours later, and it was dried up, I checked the other pots and they had 3 died up mushrooms, I hadnt seen any of this 2 days ago, and the mushroom is 2.5 inches tall
