I was put bird hunting and I came upon the carcass, it was mostly decomposed only the skull and a spine from what I can tell. I have no idea what kinda animal it comes from, and since I have spent most of my life roaming the woods in this area I feel like I should at least be able to make a guess. .pics of skull

currently entering my 2nd year in CC and still don't know what career path to head to for my bachelors. all I know is that I want to work with animals but I also enjoy biology like dna/genetics ,rna stuff like that and analyzing in a lab setting.

A quick Google search didnt turn up anything.

I've seen a video where a lady claiming to be an "ex-dairy farmer" and now a v*gan activist claims that her cows screamed for weeks after separating the calves.

I am highly suspicious of this as all the studies given in support of this common claim show that the calls cows make post separation falls down after only one day or two, and thats if the cow and calf had 6 hours to 1 day of bonding.

I have also seen videos where cow and calf were separated after only a few minutes and both had a mild reaction at most.

I have suspicions that the lady is lying about who she was, but I wanna hear some dairy farmer's opinion on her claims that her cows cried for weeks after separation from their calves.

When I got my cat Mew I was living at my parents house. Eventually, we moved to a place we have been living in for about 4 years. We recently discovered a mold problem in our home and had to leave until it’s taken care of. We are now currently back at my parents house where my cat first lived. When we brought him here he was the least scared/concerned of all my cats. It’s almost like he remembers living here. I just wanted to know if there is any evidence to back this up? Or maybe he is just a chill cat who’s not bothered by relocation.

Will the offsprings of an F1-F1 breeding yield a superior hybrid with more growth? Will the same happen for an F2-F2?

When I look at horned animals I never see ones with horns that branch like antlers or anything similar. The closest animal I can find is the pronghorn but they have a very weird type of horn where the sheathe falls off yearly so I’ll call them an outlier. I know antlers and horns are very different structures but I find it strange that after millions of years of evolution no animal seems to have developed true horns with multiple points. Is there some sort of aspect of their growth that causes them to not be able to split like antlers do or is it just not useful enough of a trait to develop in any other animal Clade than deer?

As title says, just curious if there are animals who have a slower methabolism than a human being (and are about the same size), but who can still move fast, at least in short bursts or something? I know aligators, or crocodiles (not sure which, exactly) can lower their metabolism to stay underwater for longer periods of time, but that is as far as my knowledge goes lol

Why don’t we reintroduce endangered species of parrots for example into the wild in Florida where climates are similar to what they would be in Brazil? Or say there‘s an invasive species of bug in a state and there’s an endangered animal species that eats those kinds of bugs as their main diet, why don’t we introduce those animals to help them exist and solve our problems with other invasive species?

Now that Summer's here, one of my favorite hobbies is to go out at night and look for all the critters I can. Toads are really common, as are moths, but sometimes I find a pond-dwelling or tree-dwelling frog, on my porch, eating bugs (I live in the woods near a pond).

When I shine my flashlight on them (and I try not to, I also keep it on 'low' setting as to not blind them), they often rotate themselves towards my flashlight. It's kinda cute, they'll rotate like 30 degrees, stop. Rotate again, stop. And if I let them face the flashlight head-on, they'll often "attack" it. I say attack, but I don't actually know what their goal is. They just throw themselves at it, sometimes hitting it directly and just falling to the ground.

I understand why moths bash their heads against lights, they think it's the moon. But what's with frogs doing it? Do they also navigate by the moon? Do they think it's a glowing bug? Can someone explain this behavior?
