I've been thinking of how the octopus can learn so quickly, and the only reason they aren't the masterminds of the deep is because they die when their eggs hatch and can't teach their young what they know.
What if you arrange for a surrogate octopus mother that people have already trained?

most octopus only mate once and tend to die around the same time the young emerge from the egg sac.
Post any pics, facts and advice about crocodilians.

This beautiful girl died of lead poisoning today because the vast majority of people don't give a shit about them, not even enough to prevent lead poisoning. There are a handful of good people in the world, it seems everyone else lacks compassion for anyone that's not a human, so self centered and disgusting. I wish I could change people's minds, she didn't deserve this. None of them do. become more and more aware of this shit every day it seems, this in particular. She took one mouse from Jaye, and died in Stephanie's arms. They deserve so much more than what the human race provides.
I'm fucking fed up, so many birds come into the raptor center with lead poisoning. Even when it's not, most of the injuries are human inflicted.

This thread will now dissolve into US politics and firearms.
But for real, California for example has banned the use of lead ammunition in areas california condor's ranges. Which would be stupid and useless if this wasn't just the first phase of what they want, since they are looking to phase out lead based ammunition for hunting in the state entirely. For what an average citizen could do other than not using lead-based ammunition if they hunt? Get mad on the internet and raise a stink, I suppose.

So, through selective breeding and over thousands of years we've molded dogs to be what we want them to be.
I wonder, could we do the same with chimps? Could we, over the course of decades or centuries breed more intelligent chimps with more humanized hands and feet and bodies? Could we through breeding create an intelligent race that could comprehend and even engage in speech with us?

If it makes you feel any better, it was probably fucked from the start. Theres something pretty wrong if a baby dolphin is just laying on the beach.

Whats easier for a first small tank (5.5g).
Shrimp or Small Tetra? Both?
Just want to experience keeping a tank alive and healthy.
>>
>>2072942
Shrimp or small tetra. Shrimp if you would like to keep more in the thank. Tetra you would have a max of five if they reach 1 inch full grown

Depends. What's the pH, GH, and KH of your tap water, and do you want to breed them?
>>
>>2071953
you'll need a 55g or larger tank, heater, filter, lighting, substrate.
Personally I wouldn't bother with tankmates or live plants right off the bat since both are going to cause problems.
next you probably want an RO/DI unit and a bunch of discus buffer (acid buffer). Also a decent selection of live foods and ground frozen beef heart.
this is a lot of money, in particular the RO unit is pretty pricey. But not really that much when you compare to the cost of the average discus.

she stopped caring about him once he grew up, and has since left him with me. He's about 2 1/2 years old
>pit/boxer mix
>lover at home, asshole everywhere else
>cannot walk him without significant trouble
>aggressive towards other dogs and small children
>anxiety problems
I love him very much and don't want to perpetuate the pitbull myth via carelessness
I'd be very grateful for any links or book recommendations

Hello /an/, it's me again. The guy with the friend who's conspiring to fuck a bird. Some new developments were made today, we were able to talk for a little while when I got off work.
Michael: How are you?
Me: I'm fine, just got off work so I'm waiting for the bus. And you? I have about half an hour to kill.
Me: What are you up to?
Michael: I'm on a forum
I then asked him if it was the forum we have in common, not revealing that to 4chan.
Michael: No, a zoo forum. To learn and educate.
Me: Learn what, exactly? What do the majority of zoosexuals condone? I'm curious as to what exactly they stand for.
Michael: To learn more information on the arguments for and against zoosexuality. Admittedly also to learn more about safe mating. They condone safe, ethical relationships where there is mutual love and respect and the will and welfare of the animal is highest priority.
So now he's even more openly admitting to wanting to fuck animals, What, is he saying he'll be gentle?
Good news though, I have his full name and the name of his workplace. If the shit hits the fan, I can ruin his life.
And when the last thread 404'd people were mentioning how macaws can get really horny around their humans due to imprinting, I'm not denying that. Humans should refrain from doing shit like that, be a good person and control yourself zoofag. The animal might not know better, but you do.

the only reason bestiality is illegal is because animals can't concent. if an animal is consenting then there's no moral issue.
>>
>>2071310
But the thing is Anon, animals can't consent to humans. Not until they can speak English anyway. Zoofags will use "body language" as an excuse, but I'm afraid that's not good enough.
I'm also interested in the forum he was talking about, and why it hasn't been seized by the authorities. Bestiality is illegal in most civilized western countries, the US and the UK for sure. He lives in Manchester.
>>
>>2071311
Not good enough for the law yes, I agree. But in some cases they will be correct. As you said they can't speak English - so your argument that they are not consenting is only as valid as the zoofags.
