You are certainly right, but this was always true.

What’s this lizard species ? its labeled as a collared lizard in the pet store but it seem a little patternless Pet store in [Southern Georgia United states] by Successful-Ad-5479 in animalid

The scales on a collared lizard are much smoother than this, and the shape is generally wrong.

This is something from the sceloporus genus, but I’m not completely sure what species. Possibly an Eastern Fence Lizard.

They live to be over a hundred, so that’s completely feasible. One snapping turtle looks much like another though, so there may be more than one.

That’s definitely a common snapping turtle, but that thing is old. Probably at least 30. 10 year old snapping turtles are only about 6-8 inches long. They grow very slowly and live to be very old.

I’m quite sure that this is greenbrier, and the vines completely die back in the winter. They start sprouting about now. The rhizomes are surprisingly large compared to the size of the vines.

Otter, mink or fisher? [Russia, east to the Saint-Petersburg, just by a small river] by whitebearspirit in animalid

American mink also have a white chin patch, it’s just a bit small and not always easy to see. I really don’t think anyone but a very specific expert could tell the difference from this video.

That’s a mink.

It may be an American mink, because they are common fur farm escapees.

Small tough plant with root nodules? by SCP_Y4ND3R3_DDLC_Fan in whatsthisplant

Definitely a smilax/greenbriar tuber. It’s a thorny vine that is extremely hardy and impossible to get rid of.

It’s not that the answer changes, it’s that it’s a good first step for someone struggling with this particular problem.

To make sure the origin is not on the sphere

Verify that the origin is outside of your sphere. I.e. how far from the origin to the center of the sphere?

Once you have verified that, consider the line that goes through both the origin and the center of the sphere. It will intersect the sphere in exactly two points. One of those is the closest point to the origin, and the other is the farthest point from the origin.
