id suggest going to restaurants and collect there veg scraps for food. also watch for foods with copper, copper can be poisonous for many species of snails. they will reproduce just like rabbits so for edible snails id buy a few coolers with some holes in the top.

When cats get very old, they begin to lose the ability to retract their claws. The claws grow thicker and brittle as they age to a point where they become too thick to retract and harder to shed by itself. Or, if a cat isn't able to shed their claws they can overgrow and not completely retract. I feel like the latter wouldn't be common for a stray cat as back claws are often shed or broken off in climbing, running, jumping and fighting which is vital for survival. You're probably looking at a cat that doesn't have much time left out in the 'wild'.

So are people who don't consider all animals amazing and beautiful by default coincidentally.

If your parents never did "Here comes the plaaane!! Nyooooom" to get you to eat squash or whatever the hell, they didn't love you

Maybe they were affected by heavy winds when they were small, or gradual soil movement over time? Trees can look pretty gnarled and dumb when they've had to adapt to being pushed around and moved

If so, why such thing isn`t common?
>>2152887
Probably you`re right. I found out that there was a tornado 40 years ago.

you're only rewarding them when they do something you like.

which means you're withholding that reward the rest of the time. Withholding a reward for bad or neutral behavior isn't really positive training, now is it? In fact keeping that delicious reward away most of the time is pretty negative behavior.

so yeah, you should probably just call it passive aggressive training. Let's be honest.

>>2152761
How do you feel about getting someone hooked on cocaine so you can take it away from them if they don't follow your orders?

>Withholding a reward for bad or neutral behavior isn't really positive training, now is it?
yes, it is, absolutely

>Look at this animal! What a novelty!

this one is Dickinsonia, the most prominent of the Pre-Cambrian "Vendobiota", who mostly resemble water-filled mattresses of different shapes and sizes. They represent one of the first multicellular organisms in the fossil record. The strange thing is that no one is quite sure what these things are. We don't know if they're animals or plants. Some paleontologists actually believe they belong to a different type of organism entirely.

>Pikaia
>Late Cambrian

even though it's just a few centimeters long and looks like a worm, Pikaia is tremendously important, since it's the possible common ancestor to all vertebrates (or very close to that).

>Yi Qi
>Late Jurassic

this is a very basal Paraves (which is the base of the evolutionary line that leads to birds) and was found in China. It retains many features of a classic reptile (jaw with teeth, unfused fingers, ...) and has a particularly interesting wing, which is made up of a membrane that's spanned up between the fingers.
