So now even living groups of reptiles we 100% know are coldblooded are being painted as warmblooded to keep the featherfaggotry alive? The Dinosaur Renaissance and its consequences have been a disaster for paleontology.

About three hours ago I found a bird (House Finch). He was trapped inside and (presumably) bumped into a bunch of windows in an attempt to escape. I found him conscious but concussed on the floor on his back. Right now he's sleeping in a bed made of paper towels inside this box. I opened the box up an hour ago to improve his quarters by adding more bedding and moving the original box into the current (larger) box but he remained asleep. He had moved into a corner and looked like he was getting some pretty good sleep, but the fact that a bird was undisturbed by me was a little concerning.
Is there anything else I should do to improve his situation? Should I attempt to insulate/warm the box further? It's ~70F indoors.
If the opportunity arises I'll take some pictures of him to post in the thread, but I'd rather not needlessly open up the box to disturb him right now. In the morning I think I'll give him a little dish of water.
in Florida.
don't want to kill him if I don't have to but I have a small dog this fucker took a pretty bitey stance
>inb4 hurrrr hoomans
someone abandoned him on the streets and i took it
what do i feed it? never had a pet. is there like pet food for small dogs? what could i give him to eat until i go buy dog food? i washed his fur with warm water and a bit of soap and he didn't mind it
also, any name suggestions? i wanna call him something cute ><
>no bugs in the ocean
>no crustaceans that can fly
>no birds live fully aquatic lives
>no fish live fully terrestrial lives
>no flying reptiles
Face it, mammals are the best.
>Mostly gray
I find it hard to describe what I mean. A strong emotional component, wistful or dramatic. A sense of the alien, too. Pic related, although I would prefer in their natural habitat.

Pls halp
My Maine Coons have fleas and it doesn't seem to bother them much; they don't scratch that much and you wouldn't ever guess they had any. But you dig around in their fur, they're there.
I have read some pretty grim reviews of flea treatments, it seems like that shit nearly kills the fucking cat each time you dose them.
Currently I'm minded to just leave them as they are - it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. But if there was a Safe and Effective treatment option I would consider it.
What do you guys do about fleas on your cats? Have they had any bad reactions to it?
cant wait for them to return
I want to touch a booby
(And about werewolves, why are they the go-to for animal-man hybrids and other hybrids like human-bear/lion/fish/boar/etc. creatures aren't nearly so popular?)

I'm scared they'll just make me do menial tasks and I won't actually get to interact with any animals. I'm not afraid of work but I imagine everyone wants to be a cat socializer and work directly with the animals. Shelters don't even let you see the animals anymore, apparently most are by appointment only.
Is this a good way for me to spend more time with animals or should I try something else. Also since I'm asking on 4chan it should be obvious that I have no friends with pets I can visit.
You deserve Fancy Feast
why do they do it?
For me, I've been getting back into Megaquarium
I've listened to these two songs about every week for the past year because they remind me of my cat that died in December.

HOWEVER
They smell really bad, 1 billion points to the cats. Cats win.

How is their social dynamic? Their hierarchy and dynamic Is harder to understand then say wolves, dogs, primates or most other species

>australian animals need an apex predator (komodo dragons, green anacondas, and jaguars)
>south american animals need a dedicated pack hunter (dingos)
>south america could use a few more large herbivores (kangaroos, galapagos giant tortoises, and cassowaries)
>australia needs a giant herbivore of some kind (tapirs)
>australia could use some more giant birds (harpy eagle and andean condor)
>south america could use some wolverine like animals or arboreal predators (tasmanian devils)
Hell, you could probably even find a way to work marine iguanas, weka, and echidnas into this new place.
And which was still going surprisingly strong.
Let's keep showing that we care about them.
Is it safe to say it’s ant’s world? They are the most dominant species on earth.
As usual, post and discuss foxes.

also thoughts on my dinosaur /an/?
Animalbros, how will we recover?
Her name is Honey
She was extremely shy at first and just wanted to sit in the corner but got very curious throughout the night and eventually ended up in my bed with lots of attention, went to sleep purring. I love her and I can't wait to get off work to go see her
Has anyone else recently adopted of purchased a new friend?

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.
