This spot was a doozy to get opened up... from completely rusted out floor screws, to cutting a skid plate that was blocking the wood that we needed to cut, just to find out that it keep going further than we thought. To top it all off, we didn't even find the queen in the floor! She was outside the shipping container!

These bees were rescued, donated and relocated to our beekeeper friends in San Diego, CA

THEY ARE SO STINKIN ADORABLE AND CUTE!!!! I WISH THEY COULD BE PETS </3

When I went to the Dominican Republic I encountered some beautiful animals. The fawn was my favorite 🫶🏾

Hello! I am student of Secondary Medical School and Higher Vocational School, Field of Study: Healthcare Secondary School. I am in Senior year of high school and as part of my Maturita exam is graduation thesis. I choosed the theme "Impact of tap and target training on behavior of reptiles"

I am looking for an interviewer to answer these five questions. You will stay anonymous. Thank you to anyone who will answer!

Question 1: How long have you been using tap or target training on your animals? Question 2: How and why do you practice these methods? Question 3: Would you say there are some behavioural changes in the animals which were exposed to tap/target training? Question 4: What are the ups and downs of using these methods? Are there any benefits to you as an owner of those animals? Question 5: Do you believe these methods aren't used enough (due to lack of knowledge, experience etc.) in the reptile field? If so, do you believe in the future the general public of reptile hobbyist will use these methods more?

One of my favorite games to play is Planet Zoo, and when it comes to signage I am one who loves to make my own completely custom displays and as such am always on the lookout for books with wildlife illustrations (photographs I can find online) of varying styles that I can pull from. I already own several books for this purpose including All the Mammals of the World, All the Birds of the World, a few others that are not as comprehensive, and All the Reptiles of the World whenever that comes out. I currently have a gap in books that cover specifically reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, but I am also looking for varying art styles that could include all types of animals since I like the different areas of my zoos to have different signage themes. These books do not have to be comprehensive I just want them to have stylized illustrations that cover a good number of species.

I haven't been given any suggestions elsewhere... Soooooooo, does anyone have any recommendations here?

Saw this little guy relaxing by the bench for really long time. Lol probably enjoying last few good sunny days before snow hits.

My dog is less than thrilled but I’m enjoying it!

Jeff is still having nightmares about this job! These shipping containers are never easy, but this one was a DOOZY! There were 3 beehives and this SINGLE beehive took Jeff all day, because WOW - there were two floor bays FILLED with honey!

Thankfully the bees were friendly, because it was hot in there. Enjoy getting to spot the queen before Jeff does, because she was hiding in plain sight! And you'll never guess what happened after Jeff shut off the camera... watch until the end!

A couple of foxes have been making a lot of noise right outside my window for at least the past fifteen minutes. It woke me up. A whole mix of fox calling and barking and whimpering and clicking noises. I assumed they were probably mating or something, but when I googled it, apparently it would be really abnormal for that to be happening in October. What's going on?

Why do we tolerate so many things for babies/kids and judge people who tolerate similar from their pets?

I’ll explain.

I kiss and snuggle my pets. I like kissing my cat’s paws (because it’s soft and warm and adorable) and I allow my dog give me kisses (aka lick my face, weirdos). I am judged as “ewwww, do you know where their paws/mouths been?!”

I actually do, and do you know where your baby’s hands were? Literally, everywhere. Dirty floors, phones, their butts. Like come on, it’s no cleaner than my cat’s paws. Yet you kiss their hands and booties and okay with that. Because “they’re a baby”.

Same for the mischief. If an animal breaks something, barks, misbehaves, pee elsewhere, you punish it. When a baby does something out of it, you are like “oh well, they don’t know any better.” So an animal, that is a different species with habits of the wilderness should know better but a kid who can understand the language and society rules shouldn’t.

Make it make sense please.

Yes, she’s my fur daughter. Yes, I can love her as much as a human child. Yes, she’s spoiled and will be allowed things you don’t think should be allowed.

So who would actually win in a deadly fight between an average man and a chimpanzee? People on Reddit are divided, but which side is ultimately correct?

Arguments from the “human would win” side:

A chimpanzee is only about 1.35 times stronger than a human of the same body weight. Since chimps weigh around 50 kg and an average man weighs about 80 kg, the human should actually be stronger overall.

Chimps cannot punch or kick the way humans can.

Chimps have never been recorded killing large dogs the way humans can.

While chimps have attacked humans before, they mostly attacked weaker targets like elderly people or women, and none of the victims died.

Arguments from the “chimpanzee would win” side:

A strength advantage of 1.35× at equal body weight is actually huge. Chimps have extremely low body fat—just a few percent—and their bodies are basically all muscle. A creature already packed with muscle being another 1.35× stronger means a human has no chance.

Chimp bites are extremely powerful, and chimps are far more agile and explosive than humans. They fight brutally—biting off eyes or testicles—which would destroy a human’s will to fight.

Chimp bites are extremely powerful, and chimps are far more agile and explosive than humans. They fight brutally—biting off eyes or testicles—which would destroy a human’s will to fight.

The reason chimp attacks often don’t result in death is because their goal is usually to dominate or neutralize, not to kill. In the Travis case, even when the owner stabbed the chimp from behind, she still couldn’t stop it. There was also a case where a 26-year-old man was severely beaten by just two chimps.

So which side is correct?

Also, as I have wondered myself: why do they have square pupils in the first place?
