It's a tapir, dumbass. Odd toed ungulates related to rhinos and horses. 4 species in the Americas, ranging from 200 to 800 pounds, one species on SE Asia weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds.

Back in Ethiopia we used to keep a couple monkeys around. They came from the wild, but everyday they'd show up expecting food and we'd give it to them. We occasionally let them sleep at our balcony, where we'd have a nice campout. They used to beat up on my little brother whenever he tried doing something retarded, it was pretty funny. Man I miss those days.

There's a racist joke in there somewhere.....

do animals like weed
143 posts and 13 images submitted.

Some do, some don't.

Ruminants will graze on cannabis plants. I'm sure they sometimes do get high. The whole "you have to decarboxylate weed to get any effect" from it is wrong. There are active cannabinoids even in raw weed. If you don't believe me just eat 3, 4 grams of it yourself on an empty stomach and tell me you didn't get high. Spoiler alert, you will.

Disclaimer: In no way am I encouraging or condoning illegal activity of any kind.
>>
*DONT BLOW IT IN THEIR FACES
Animals dont take to being high like you do. If you surprise them with it they will be scared and paniky till they come down.
However if you have a cat cannabis is in the same family as catnip so they will try to eat it. Dogs will eat you stems(and whole nugs if you leave them out). When they do this they know they are getting high. Animals do like it but they are also really dumb and don't know their limit and getting them "baked" is borderline abuse because of how scared they can get.

My goldfish ate my fancy guppy fry when I was 8. It was horrifying. I never did fully recover. Still can't go to a fish fry without cringing
>>
My friend had two hamsters that lived together for like 4 years. And one day the one just randomly decided to kill the other. My friend prefers to phrase it as "HE JUST ATE THE OTHER ONE." She was afraid of the remaining hamster until it died. Yeah...I guess she didn't know much about hamsters.
>>
One of my dogs was at the shelter because he was a chicken killer. The neighbors threatened to kill him the next time they saw him so the owners dumped him at the pound. While I had him he killed two cats neither of which were mine. One was a kitten somebody dumped at the park and he found it in the weeds before I saw it. Felt like shit but really couldn't blame the dog for being a dog. Second was a full grown adult cat that thought it would be a good idea to jump into my fenced in yard with my dogs in it. Not 100% sure which one killed that one but again couldn't really blame the dog for the cat being a retard. As long as the cat didn't run from him he didn't pay any attention to them and even had a few neighbor hood cats that would walk right up to him without any issue.

So I want a predator fish to keep my guppy population at bay. I don't want them to suffer.

What's one will hunt and kill only one guppy at a time , and will allow my guppies to breed?

I have a ten gallon.
Should I get another tank in addition and just use them as feeder fish?

Hello, I just adopted my first dog and I don't have a clue of what breed he is. (he has approximadly 11 weeks).

Anyone has any idea of how much can he grow?

Pic very much related.

Thanks for the attention.

>>2054331
You won't be able to accurately guess breed mixes until he is fully grown. If he's lanky and his paws are big for his body, he will grow and fill out. He's adorable, though. Good luck!

Looks like a shepard of sorts. Good dog mutts are the best.

what do you do with a partially living rat that your snake wont eat
12 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>2054066
See if it's healthy. If it's not, dispose of it. If it is, and your snake doesn't eat it in one weeks time, name it and keep it forever
>>
"Partially living"?

Either it's alive or it's dead.
>>
>>2054066

Had that happen a long time ago. I had a couple of gopher snakes sharing a 4x2 cage and the bigger one was being a really shy eater. Got a live rat just for him, and the smaller snake stabbed it's head out from under the side of the hide and grabbed the rat. The rat was too big for him to eat safely, so I had to tear it away. This did not go well for the rat.

... long story short, I took it out on the patio table and cut it's head off with a kitchen knife. It's the best I could do on short notice.

I know /an/ is completely rabid about how puppies must be 10-12 weeks before you bring them home, or your puppy will get aids/join a gang/beat up hookers/become a beat up hooker/etc ...

Seriously, why? If you google this subject, every single result says 7-8 weeks. Every single one. Go check. I'll wait.

What makes /an/ such experts on this, and the rest of the internet wrong (excluding Yahoo Answers on grounds of retardation)?

I found ONE thing - the fear imprint period puppies go through from 8-10 weeks. Every thing else about waiting longer than 8 weeks is all negative. And everything about the 8-week mark is completely positive and universally shared.

Let's hear it /an/. I got a puppy due for pick up from the breeder at 8 weeks old around Valentine's day. Tell me why I should offer to pay extra for them to hold him for 4 more weeks and I will do it.

I don't think that that many people seriously advise 10-12 weeks.
The reason why you wait at least 8 weeks though is partly for physical development and partly because it's a period of socialization where among many other things the puppy learns that hard biting fucking hurts and that you shouldn't do it
>>
>>2054036

8 is minimum, 10-12 can sometimes have benefits for the socializing of your pupper with other dogs and people as well.
>>
>>2054048

Should add, however, that if you are a good owner and will be doing work to socialize pupper, 8 weeks is fine.

I live in an apartment at the moment but I want a dog.
I would walk it everyday and most likely I would go running with it
But I go to school everyday and I would not want my dog to get lonely and sometimes I cant go outside with him at all
I would like something like a Labrador Retiver or a Borderline Collie looks wise.
Wat do?
The dog should be as low maintenance as possible

why wouldn't you be able to take your dog out for at least an hour every day?
>>
>>2053803
I could do that, I never said I wouldnt
The main problem is that I live in an apartment and I am not sure if that is enough space for my dream dog.
Some days I would need to keep him alone in the apartment
>>
>>2053786
Sounds like you shouldn't get a dog if your first ideas for an apartment dog includes fucking border collies and labs. I mean, have you really done ANY fucking research aside from Google image searches to check what looks cute?
