I noticed these spots on my cat's teeth. He has it on both his right and left back teeth. I'll post another picture of the other side too.

We've scheduled a vet appointment. In the meantime, anyone have any idea what this could be?

Ok so I got a new guinea pig today, he's like 2-3 months old. The one I already have is this big fat fuck, and when I introduced them, the big one kept chasing the little one and doing growling sounds and sitting on the little one. Should I be worried? Will they ever be piggy bros?

Cheesy, stupid, melodramatic, cool?

I noticed this bird in my garden just sitting there and not moving at all as I walked by. I came back later and it was still there so I put it in a box out of the cold wind.

It's barely responsive at all and won't open its eyes but it moves about a little from time to time and I can see it breathing. I don't know anything about birds so I couldn't begin to guess what's wrong. I've left it for a few minutes and all its done is move further into the corner.

What should I do? Nearest vet is a half hour drive away.

Sorry if this isn't appropriate here, I don't come to this board at all so I don't really know how you handle these things.

I know people will probably make fun of this but whatever. I had my fire belly newt for about 20 years, pretty much more than half my life. I did not think he would live 5 let alone 20. R.I.P. little buddy!

What type of spider of this (sorry for shifty picture)

Anybody have to put up with red-winged blackbirds lately? I call them edgebirds. It's their breeding season right now and they don't give a single fuck. They'll try to bully blue herons and egrets just to make a point.

I noticed one of these little crackheads keeping pace me over the top of my head when I went for a run 'round the lake yesterday afternoon, and I couldn't tell if it was coincidence or not

Went back to run the same course today to confirm it, and lo and behold, the black & red avenger appeared yet again. I ran back across the same section twice as a test, and without fail, he came out screaming, full of piss n' vinegar both times. Quarter-chicken sized fucker was really working to alpha male me out. I made a sound like a bulldog barking in German, he tactically retreated back into his leafy lakeside apartment, and that was our mutual declaration of war.

I'm going back again tomorrow. I've been running around that lake for 2 years. The bird with red wings will learn to respect the man with yellow shoes

Anyone know what kind of spider this cute little guy is?
I thought it was a false widow.

Child gets into Gorilla exhibit at Cincinnati Zoo, Zoo employees fatally shoot 17 year old Western Lowland Gorilla that was "dragging the child around"

Anyone have more footage? Did Zoo employees make the right decision? Are the parents fucking retarded or does this zoo need better preventative measures for getting into exhibits

Are those domesticated Russian foxes really domesticated?

I've heard some people say no because domestication takes thousands of millions of years, and other people say yes because the reason other animals took so long to be domesticated is because we didn't know a damn thing about domesticating animals, but now we know about how it works and genetics so the process can be shortened considerably

Even if these foxes aren't domesticated, is it theoretically possible to domesticate a wild animal in under a thousand years? A hundred years?

I'm not looking into getting a pet fox or anything, before you accuse me of it. I'm just curious

Underrated animal, to say the least. Let's all take a moment to appreciate the best marsupials.
