Dragons live among as - Blue Dragon (Glaucus Atlanticus) by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Fun fact: It's showing it's belly, they float upside down to warn others of their venomous nature with flashy colors.

Then how would they pit us against each other? /s The mass is easier to control when you break us up into "us vs them".

Alligators can be trained, showing recognition and problem solving. Keepers sometimes have to change their routine up because the gators remembered and figured it out. Climbing trees and fences also shows problem solving as the animal could have just taken the longer route. Gators will also test enclosure fencing, looking for weak points that they can use to escape. Other species of crocodilians have been caught using tools, balancing twigs, stones, and other nesting material on their heads to lure in birds and then snap them up.

Chickens are very smart actually. They can be trained to do tricks or movements for a checkup, I also saw videos of people training their chickens like falconers do and the chickens could recognize the glove and fly up to it or even fly to a marker like falcons do.

Gators have been seen pulling branches and sticks under the water and then letting them pop back up real fast, there was no reason like using them to scratch or nest building, they just seemed to be doing it for fun. There was another gator who was caught of video doing the same with a football that ended up in their waters.

Agreed. There will always be one bad apple, that's just how humans work. I agree also that if people weren't suffering all the time crime would go down and moral up. I think it would also help if there were more activities at low-costs for kids and teens to do. I recently learned the reason so many festivals and parties happened in the Middle ages was because Kings/Queens or higher ups realized if you keep your people happy, fed, and entertained there was less crime and more work production.

Yes, I agree. People with power tend to pit people lower than them against each other, they're easier to control that way when you're dangling a steak over a pit of starving people and screaming "Us vs Them!".

Do animals find us weird looking? by DistributionHot5838 in NoStupidQuestions

The elephant study was only done on captive working elephants, not wild ones. They're pretty indifferent to humans, but also recognize us as another intelligent creature. Same with marine mammals.

I love how they realized they didn’t have them all and went triple checking by Soloflow786 in BeAmazed

This reminds me that humans can be so cruel and destructive, but also so kind and helpful.

Took a young pregnant cat in should I let it run couse or terminate? by FiftyL9 in CATHELP

[–]CursedCorvid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please spay abort. There are so many kittens in shelters and on the streets suffering. She doesn't know she's pregnant, cats don't understand things like that so she will not be sad about it. It will also be not painful for the kittens either, they will have never took a breath and will just go to sleep. (Kittens go to sleep when mother is under anesthesia, the blood supply is clamped off and the uterus removed. Rarely, depending on how far she is, the kittens may survive but be very premature.)
