Well, they're also perfectly evolved. Scorpions haven't changed in millions of years, because nature also says "don't change what isn't broken". Scorpions are the pinnacle of arachnid evolution.

>>2392594
Are sharks, scorpions and crocodiles the trifecta of perfect predators?

>>2392595

No. Wolves should be in there somewhere. Their skills hunting as a pack are incredible.

>>2392596
shame they messed with the wrong hominid desu

>>2392376
I also love scorpions and want to have one in the future. Like >>2392594 said, they haven't changed in millenia, so the way they have remained heavily unchanged throughout history and how they function in general is fascinating.

>>2392376
>>2392624
yo, get in here if you want advice on keeping scorpions: >>2389925

Bugs and arachnids, vultures and crows, pigeons, worms and deep-sea animals.

Basically the only animals I don't like are internal parasites.

>>2392376

I like scorpions, they're very "sane" for arachnids.

Scorpions are best animals.

Millipedes, snails, and crabs desu. I rarely see them even mentioned. :')

OP here. Octopi are great. I've loved them ever since I was a kid. Just like scorpions.

I remember, in first grade, I did a report on them. Still have the thing. It's held together surprisingly well for a kid-made thing over two decades.

Ravens are the greatest fucking animals, despite often being associated with death, darkness and despair.

I dunno. I've had a desert hairy and an emperor, and I was fairly disappointed by how little I cared about either of them. The emperor was cool, you could pick him up once in a while and watch him eat, but the desert hairy was an asshole who stayed in hide all day. I mean, I cared FOR them, because they're my pets and my responsibility, but they were much more engaging in my mind than when I actually got them. Herps are much cooler generally unloved animals in my opinion, the perfect combination of beauty, low maintenance, and actual ability to engage you once in a while

>>2392376
camels, condors, owls, anteaters

Cockroaches
fruit flies
pigeons
termites
clams
crabs/lobsters (not hated but unappreciated as a cute animal)

Just about any kind of decomposer/scavenger, theyre so important but people just see them as gross animals (I mean what they do is gross but they're amazing animals regardless)

Scorpions, toads

>>2393268
Toads are honestly so cute. They aren't even ugly, why are they the benchmark for being ugly.

>>2393281
because they have warts i guess

I love spiders so fucking much. I don't know why everyone seems to hate them, they're total bros.

Ravens have literally been driven to extinction in England, Central Europe and the Eastern US because people hated them and thought they ate all their crops. Show me an animal more unloved than that.
>>2393264
Termites are cool as fuck, and pigeons are cute. The word "lobster" always sounds like a slang word for "bro" to me. Fuck the others though.

It is not very well visible on your map, but this right here shows what I am talking about.
>"Der Kolkrabe wurde als angeblicher Schädling der Jagd und der Landwirtschaft über Jahrhunderte rücksichtslos verfolgt und in Teilen Mittel- und Westeuropas sowie im Osten der USA ausgerottet. In Europa erreichte der Bestand um 1940 seinen Tiefpunkt und das Verbreitungsgebiet seine geringste Ausdehnung. Zu dieser Zeit gab es in Mitteleuropa nur noch im südlichen Dänemark und in Schleswig-Holstein, im Osten Polens sowie im Alpenraum nennenswerte Bestände."
"The common raven was persecuted recklessly for allegedly damaging hunting and agriculture over centuries and almost driven to extinction in parts of Central and Western Europe as well as in the eastern USA. In Europe, the population reached an all-time low around 1940 and the range was the smallest. At this time, there were considerable populations only in southern Denmark and Sleswick-Holstein, in eastern Poland as well as around the Alps."
I live in western Germany btw, and there is not a single raven around. If you travel a hundred kilometers north or east, they are everywhere. But everything you see here is crows, rooks and jackdaws.

Fuck I hate ticks. Just pulled one out from between my legs today. I crushed it and made it explode in the shoewr

>>2394286

You need some sulfuric acid anon, just drop them in there and watch them disappear

>>2394289
>letting the blood of the tick get away into the drainage
Why is this bad?

>>2394297
Yeah
Very bad
You just let a bunch of ticks get a shot a life by not throwing them into acid

>>2394306
It was a nymph, it couldn't lay eggs yet.

Good riddance, fuck ticks and anything that looks like ticks

The area you circled on the US part of the map never had ravens. Over here ravens are strongly associated with mountains and northern forests. That little red blotch where they are in the east is the Appalachian Mountains.

Spiders

>>2394638
I like tarantulas a lot, but there's something about hairless spiders that just screams "DO NOT TOUCH ME I WILL FUCK YOUR DAY UP." Huntsman Spiders give off this vibe too, though as far as I know they're pretty shy.

scorps are great and very underrated. My scorp does tapping sounds to try and hunt down a mate sometimes

>tfw i tap back and he gets excited and tries to find me

when I was in at a homestay in Turkmenistan, there was a based little scorp bro who I found living in my bed.

spiders, also mantids and scorpions, but mostly spiders

>>2393254
You can't think of spiders and scorps as pets imo. I think of them more like a houseplants. If you want something to cuddle you don't buy a fern

Like I have a little tank with tubes and shit coming out if it with at leased 23 German roaches in it.
They're pretty useful for getting rid of shit that you don't wanna eat.

>>2395394
It's anon's arm from a weird angle.

>>2392596
Painted dogs do it better. If I recall, they're the most successful predator in Africa, which really says something since Africa is one of nature's predatory thunderdomes.

I like cockroaches in an animal sense, but I lived in a shithole for a few years and they were common. Very unnerving seeing them scurry about my kitchen.
There were also bed bugs in that place, and again fuck those things, but as animals go they're kind of cool. They're sly as fuck and very crafty and hard to kill. Also males stab into a females body with they're reproductive organs. They're hardcore, and a huge pain in the ass, or abdomen if you're a female bed bug

Giant isopod

I want one. They're adorable.

How much are they, and what kind of care do they need?

Sorry, this >>2397900 should be referencing this >>2397885

>>2397900
I agree they're adorable, unfortunately they need large tanks and can not be bought as pets. There's a chance a boat might accidentally catch one and might give it to you if you live near the ocean, but it's hard to create the right living space for them. I think they're fairly easy and cheap to feed and maintain but they're hard to obtain and they require the right tank

>>2396138

I caught one of these beautiful gals when I was visiting my folks in Tennessee. They're actually really docile and put a lot of effort in trying to get away from a threat before even posturing or striking.

What is "the right tank?" Do you just mean a really big aquarium or something more specific?
