Rodents got into cheese because cheese has to be stored for a long time before it's ready. Or alternatively it was an explanation for the holes.
But mice were most damaging to grain and the best thing to put in a trap is a piece of ham.

>Skunks smell 24/7

Granted, yeah, skunk spray is pretty damn foul but they don't always stink. Usually skunks spray as a last resort and when they do, they got to wait a couple weeks to recharge the smell. Still, a good idea to keep your distance if you ever encounter one in the wild.

>>95167505

>>95167524
All wild animals stink like shit, and creatures that live in burrows and eat carrion even moreso.

>>95167505
No. Rabbits, in the wild anyway, don't eat root vegetables. Bugs was the one that made that idea popular. I believe him munching on a carrot was based on a real person (can't remmber who).

>>95167584

>>95167594
According to wikipedia
>Bugs' nonchalant carrot-chewing standing position, as explained by Freleng, Jones and Bob Clampett, originated in a scene from the 1934 film It Happened One Night, in which Clark Gable's character Peter Warne leans against a fence, eating carrots rapidly and talking with his mouth full to Claudette Colbert's character. This scene was well known while the film was popular, and viewers at the time likely recognized Bugs Bunny's behavior as satire. Coincidentally, the film also features a minor character, Oscar Shapely, who addresses Peter Warne as "Doc", and Warne mentions an imaginary person named "Bugs Dooley" to frighten Shapely.

Hedgehogs aren't actually able to walk bipedally, as the structure of their skeleton prevents it.

All of that wise-cracking? Just a myth. Hedgehogs aren't generally capable of speech, or indeed any higher brain functions.

Fastest thing alive? Not quite. Recent scientific research suggests that an average hedgehog's land speed has a long way to beating the sound barrier--or indeed, a baby-on-a-tricycle barrier.

As soul-crushing as it sounds, a real-life Sonic the Hedgehog wouldn't be able to stop any of Eggman's schemes, indeed he would probably get crushed by one of his robotic vehicles while trying to cross the street. In fact, a real-life hedgehog would not feel motivated to stop Eggman, due to being unable to comprehend the metaphysical concepts of evil and justice.

This *always* pissed me off as a kid. I *think* Hey Arnold and maybe Peanuts are the only cartoons I recall that basically got elementary school right and HA still kept cycling through some teachers. And I'm not trying to espouse helicopter parenting ideals of the present but I sure as shit didn't know any 9-12 year olds who were given complete free reign to go anywhere in town at all times when I was that age. I suppose that one is more of a handwave to allow the characters to, like, go do shit with a plot, but the school aspect always bugged me since it felt like the writers didn't know how to write anything but high school.

>>95167254
>>95167750
If I'm not mistaken, Elephants aren't afraid of mice specifically, but because they can't see their feet they start to panic if they feel something small moving below them. So if a mouse started running around next to one, it's probably lose its shit.

I'm guessing Hey Arnold is loosely based off of the creator's own life in which it wasn't that uncommon for kids to roam around unsupervised. My mom and dad tell me stories of how in their childhood, before they were teenagers, how they went all over the city and even during summer breaks would be out all night until the sun came up playing and going on adventures

>>95168269

Well sure but what the fuck are you going to name a kangaroo that looks even remotely close to it or behaves like it. Same for the tazmanian devil, its species is integral to its behavior. Besides Americans are familiar with kangaroos, everyone is, they're unique and goofy-looking. It's not like there's that much that's uniquely chipmunkesque about Chip and Dale.

Overall it's a bit retarded but pretty harmless.

>>95168837
Ok maybe kangaroos was too far left. But it would be like calling hyenas, dogs. Or a gazelle or impala a deer. Its unnecessary but you're right, its not a big deal

>>95168761
It's even more impressive considering species is pretty much entirely irrelevant to Sonic beyond a modicum of design clues.

Should be noted though that Knuckles came to the US in the mid-90s while Chip and Dale came to Europe in the 40s or 50s. Naming conventions have changed a lot over time, as evidenced by the French version of Alvin keeping the "chipmunks" part in English (because the French word for chipmunk (tamia) is still as obscure as ever).

>>95168877
But Americans do know what hyenas and gazelles are, and impala just falls under the generic well-known "antelope" term.

Not saying that you're wrong but those aren't as unknown as a chipmunk is to a Euro. But hey, sometimes we get to be the ignorant ones who aren't even trying to learn.

>>95168777
Going by crime rates kids are safer now than they were in the past. With the ubiquity of smartphones it's now harder for kids to become lost and easier to find them too.

>>95168990
The point though is that those species aren't native out here but that didnt stop American channels from changing it to a more well known animal. And they're well known because of tv media rather than general education on the animals

Well yeah but every fucking animal documentary takes place in Africa because they have the coolest animals, when's the last time you saw anything about chipmunks that wasn't something animated where they were entirely replaceable by squirrels?

We don't have hyenas or kangaroos either and we don't change their names, because they're animals everybody knows, unlike chipmunks.

Also I guess both Americans and Europeans tend to rename tanukis as racoons in anime translations.

An old one I remember reading is that, while obviously it's very, VERY bad to actually be drunk in the freezing cold, it induces a feeling of warmth that could potentially help the individual stand the cold, even if in reality it's probably making the situation worse.
