Animals

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

:shock: Man, useless would go all to pieces seeing his koi being terrorized that way.

:shock: And the photo of the woman with the buffalo looks remarkably like my late former wife. Kind of weird. Oh, and it's the woman, not the buffalo, that bears a remarkable resemblance to the ex wife.

I'm guessing, hoping, that your hot ex wife was smarter than this one. Smarter than the woman, not the buffalo.

Did you mean to suggest an intelligence level somewhere between that of the woman and the buffalo? :P

:laughing-rolling: Apparently not Sarah Bee's flying squirrel. It's never said what kind of attention it's seeking - belly rubs, food, other?

Perfect.
It’s funny until you get a call from the squirrel’s personal injury attorney.

Heh, thanks. She'd never get that close to a wild animal. Hell, it took me a year and a half for her to feel at ease in close proximity to me. 8-)

And I really like that flying squirrel; it reminds me of those goats that will immediately drop dead on the ground if they hear a loud noise. I think we had some of them on here in the past. Those guys crack me up.

I bet he was looking at the bear and just sat there and kept looking at it. He should have gone inside and got a beer and stayed in there with it.

Yeah, I wonder. Still, any unprovoked attack by a black bear is rare. Maybe he was calling it names. :wave:


Wolves sink teeth into calf in Yellowstone — then bison come charging, video shows

Video
... Then two massive bison are seen storming toward the wolves. They swiftly get the calf between them as they move it to safety.

“Perfect coordination on that move too. I don’t know how bison communicate but they had a plan,” one person commented on the video.

Sypniewski said it appeared the calf only had minor injuries.
:shock:

It was a giant spider that ran out of a toilet when flushed. Reddit is being weird with their app. Shows up ok in the reddit app but not the website. Or maybe mine it was just cached for me or something.

This?

And I was pooping when I saw this
Those are called Caprinto Recluses and are mostly found in South Africa and Australia. I know the sight of spiders send shivers down you spine especially one as big as this but trust me they are harmless. Whoever recorded this could've grabbed the spider and wouldve been ok. They primarily feed on small house pets and people who don't go listen to my music on YouTube. I made all of that up btw. That thing is f*cking horrifying.
:D
Just another day in Australia.

It's a Huntsman Spider
On the bright side, the toilet is roach and ant free. Could be worse:
