So my family got this kitty and while pretty cute, she can be a bit of a problem. Sometimes she'll act really jumpy and other times she'll play with her claws and bite your hand and toes. It doesn't hurt at all but I feel like when she grows up it could be a problem. Any advice?

Just don't let her use her claws and teeth. Either redirect her to a toy or ignore her completely. All kittens do it, just don't encourage it and she'll grow out of it.

As long as she's young you'll have to deal with her jumping at your leg from time to time. That's how (young) cats play and practice for hunting.
For the biteing and clawing it's pretty much like the other anon said. If you dont want them to do it, only play with them using a toy.
I did never realy mind some minor scratches from playing with my cat and just play-fight with him like I do with my dog though.
He never realy bites while playing, just some gentle chewing on my hand maybe.

It just rained. In the morning I'm going to go hunt for shrooms in a cow field. How common are they and where exactly.

Many self-respecting amateur mycologists will not respond to such a request. I will say that psilocybin mushrooms especially p cubensis are notorious for being indistinguishable from their poisonous lookalikes in the wild by untrained identifiers

Do any dinosaur museums in the US give bilingual tours?
Apparently this might be kind of a big deal.

Probably has something to do with the fact that less than half of Americans believe in evolution, so any way you word it the tour is going to piss people off.

Has the evolution of mammals and of the human race been a steady progression of increasing body size, or were there periods when our ancestral lineage underwent significant decreases in body size? Can the possibility be ruled out that we have direct ancestors which were larger than human beings? I can't think of a particular epoch in which this could have occurred. There could perhaps have been a large synapsid in our lineage, or perhaps there was a very large fish.

It would've been before the Cenozoic, if it happened at all. First maybe see which animals went from small to big to small. Off the top of my head I can only think of some island dwarfism examples in mammals, and I think they are kind of a dead end. Maybe just growing big eventually always ends in major extinction events?

>Maybe just growing big eventually always ends in major extinction events
That's exactly what I was thinking. The same could also be said about obligate carnivores and highly specialized herbivores. Our ancestral line is probably all omnivores.

There is a spider in my room that sits on the wall one side of my room during the day and then it walks back to the other side of my room between 23:00 and 24:00 at night.
Why does it do this?I saw it walking back 3 nights in a row now.

There are lots of tiny dead flies lying in front of my window(so i guess they must be flying around without me noticing) and sometimes a lost moth is hiding somehwere in my room..

They're so fucking cute.
I feel like large, working breeds generally provide more fulfilling relationships. They're more likely to be smart, cooperative, functional, etc., and to have had unnecessary aggressive behavior nearly bred completely out, even though it's endemic in most toy breeds.
I love big doggos. My favorites are LGDs, but Leonbergers, Akitas (grew up with one), and Bloodhounds hold a particularly special place in my heart as well.

Just killed this gnat inside my apartment. A bunch of red mites started crawling out. Is this normal? I've never seen it up close before.

I have no idea, but I'd squash those mites. They could give you a disease if they get loose and bite you.

So I posted a want ad for a AKC registered, dark sable German Shepherd puppy and a gentleman responded. He texted me a 1 month old picture of the two puppies he has and he told me that he'd take and send current pictures today. He says that they are AKC registered, have had both rounds of shots, and are fully dewormed. He doesn't exactly live close so we're meeting half way when we do meet, but it's still at least a 2 hour drive. We haven't scheduled when yet.
What information can I ask of him to be absolutely sure these are good, healthy pups from a good lineage?
Thanks!

Bought my first crested gecko yesterday... he
/she's young but I've never cared for a cresty before- or any reptile this young(6months) is there way I could ensure it stays healthy? He hasn't eaten the food pellets I put in there for him today or the small cricket- he licks the water droplets off the glass from his misting/ (there's a little mineral drop I put in there)

Read crested gecko care sheets. There are many.
Buy a jar of Repashy crested gecko diet. Follow the instructions on the jar. Throw those pellets in the garbage and remove the crickets if your gecko isn't eating them.
Do not attempt to hold your gecko until he is eating on a consistent schedule.
