>>4784337I always defrost 2 mice when I feed my snake, one for him and one for me.
>>4783977Catfags will laugh at this until a fucking eagle snatches their cat. Cat collars are found in eagle nests all the time
>>4789411Joke's on you, my cats are too fat for eagles to snatch.
>>4789320same desu
You know I never really disliked mice until they started trying nest in my fairly nice first gen mr2.I ended up catching the mother in the act of building a nest with her baby's. I stabbed them out of worry they'd scurry off and fuck up my wiring. In hindsight scooping them up with a big thick glove would of probably been easier and less smelly. Entire car stank of mouse piss afterwards .Also ended up hearing a straggler in a area the old poker couldn't reach so I sprayed a bunch of carburetor cleaner in there till the speaking stopped.
I took a duckling from the park (legal where I am) and I want to return it. Will the parents still take it back, or will they reject it?
>>4789402>Will the parents still take it backNo. It's your duckling now. Take good care of it. Contact local nature and conservation societies and get help so it can be raised properly and returned to the wild when it's old enough. It would be best if professionals or very experienced people were willing to take it on as a rehab project. You might be able to do it eventually if you're willing to learn enough, but you will not be able to do so fast enough to save this one. Don't do this again. If you do, research and study what to do BEFORE you do it, not after. This duckling has very little time to have a chance at proper release, and it is probably already too late. If you care at all, get on this and take care of this problem within the next day. Every hour delay is too long.
>>4789402Probably I've had geese raise chickens just because they got broody
>>4789402It could be dependent on the species, the way they use to recognize one another, and how long they have been apart. Worth taking a quick read through this>https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=426you can contact whatever wildlife resource you guys have and ask them what the safest thing to do is.>>4789408I am not dismissing this, but, do you have a source or experience behind this? Anon did not even mention how long he had been holding on to the duck

>>4788053I actually did decide against it and just set up an arid terrarium for plants only to get the Mojave childhood nostalgia out of my system. But I am going to try setting up a praying mantis enclosure to see how trips to buy live bugs impact my lifestyle in a shorter time frame than decades of a reptile's life.
>>4789013Holy shit is that the coolest mantis ever or what
>>4789013Mantis is definitely a good choice then. Little guys only live for a year usually.
>>4789013If you want to keep an animal death feigning beetles are a good low maintenance choice for an arid terrarium. I'd recommend something like a scorpion but it'd probably ruin the plants with their burrows

how different would life be if we were on a tidally locked planet? would we develop sleep? would life even develop on the other side of the planet where it's always dark?
>>4782279>geofag still in this thread>minimum requirements for a planet to harbor life?That's very hotly debated. There are a vast array of conditions to consider & how they interact with each other, then you have to define what is life. Most people say water & oxygen, but Earth had little free oxygen when life first developed. With water argument requires all conditions supply water in sufficient quantities, and any other thing (such as oxygen) will determine many of the conditions. I've seen very convincing arguments that life could develop in a methane ocean in the complete lack of the presence of oxygen (one of the moons of Jupiter, I forget which one. It had methane volcanoes when one of our probes passed by).Every condition you can imagine, including all the ones in this thread like radiation and temperature and tides ... however you want define the possibility of life, define the conditions that will support it. You can get really science fiction fast on it. Could life exist inside a star? David Brin wrote a book called Sundiver that explores that very question. Brin is no hack, he's a very successful sci fi writer who happens to be a professor of astrophysics.Read up on the conditions on Mars & Venus in wikipedia. It is strongly believed that life can exist on both those planets (and the methane oceans of one of Jupiter's moons). Now imagine life can probably live in much harsher conditions. Perhaps Mercury? I doubt it, but wouldn't be shocked. More like mildly surprised. And a bit excited. That would open massive possibilities all over the universe IF that turned out to be true.Also, distinguish between "harbor" life and "develop &/or evolve" life. Very different things.
>>4784197>Could life exist inside a star?The questions might sound retarded, but all life needs is self replication and this can happen inside a star for all we know.>Most people say water & oxygenMost people don't deserve water & oxygen.
>>4773268For emergency reasons. Plants are conscious.
>>4777593Would plants evolve to absorb green if they appeared on a more distant planet like Mars or some gas giant moon?
>>4787386It's entirely possible. However, their equivalent for chlorophyll (as we know & currently understand it) would have to be different than Earth chlorophyll. Also, in our Solar system, the spectrum of our Sun determines some of the best/better parts of the spectrum for energy that can be captured & converted to food. So, chlorophyll-like photosynthesis in our Solar system will probably resemble the process we see on Earth. Other stars would likely force the evolution of something more radically different.Apart from all that, the definition of "plant" might get pretty stretched & distorted off Earth. The equivalent of "plant" in other locations could (or even probably would) be different enough it would be an entirely new kingdom of life form, as different from Earth plants as fungus or animals are.
Motherfuckers say cat's don't care about people but look at this fucker? He wait's for me at the door every time i leave. Even when he doesn't need food he want's to cuddle when i come back. Cat's are also badass as fuck compared to their size. Have you seen the agility?

Anybody have some Dwarf Frogs?

Bald Eagles are ugly and dumb.I hate that this silly ass bird is the symbol of my country. There are tons of other birds out there much more cool than a bald eagle. Show any owl and it's much more majestic than the stupid bald eagle, who isnt even bald like that one vulture that is literally bald so it can get inside carcass asses easier. Yay the symbol of our country is an unsightly rodent eater that bullies away other birds. I mean its accurate, but I still hate it.

>>4786793How do I get into planting.. trees?
I have some fig cuttings on their way that I would prefer not to lose.As far as I understand cuttings only need humidity and air right?Majority perlite with some compost should be good medium right?Saw some fig pop methods... Basically just use plastic bags which is good cause I don't have tall pots , I will be getting big pots once I know how many cuttings survived.
Decided to go through and take some cuttingsMy ficus Audrey to the right is having some trouble growing, no signs of stress. I might let the soil dry out for an extra week.
>>4789284Good luck to your cuttings, they can be a bitch sometimes
