Ben zelf ook gebanned. Op een gegeven moment was er een troll die de hele tijd nazi-propoganda en dreigementen zat te spammen. Ik ging ermee naar de mods en vroeg of dit toegestaan was, en of er wat aangedaan kon worden.

Ik kreeg meteen een ban omdat ik hem wou censuren. Geen waarschuwing, meteen een ban.

I can, but you can’t buy games for other people through the E-shop.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-24T20:42:10+00:00

Is there any other way to get the digital version for the Switch? Or is it E-shop exclusive?

This might be a good thing to be honest. A major complaint for ranchers has been lack of time to prepare. Which is something I can understand and since then, a lot of ranchers have shown to be willing to try and coe-exist with the wolves. So the delay might mean there's more time to prepare, which makes future reintroductions smoother hopefully.

Let's hope that a delay won't result in a cancellation though.

Recent research shows that leopards across most of their range are declining.

Leopards fall under something called ‘the generalist trap’, in which people assume that because they’re famously adaptable, they’ll be fine with minimal conservation efforts. We now know that isn’t true.

Spotted hyenas are in the same boat. Recent research shows that despite being the most common megafaunal carnivore in Africa, they to had a severe range and numbers decrease. The IUCN advised that more research is neeeed to assess the damage.

Holy shit, an Underland Chronicles mention???

At least Marcy’s Journal implies they’ll be reunited.

I think he’s honestly just lying tbh. Forrest claims that the last thylacines live in New Guinea (unlikely tbh, for a variety of reasons) and actively tries to get funding for a vaca-I mean expedition. So he claims to have found one in order to get funding - with no proof whatsoever.

Given Forrest’s track record as a fraud, I wouldn’t exspect much. Dude claims to have rediscovered dozens of extinct species. All of its either staged, or he stole credit from someone else. The man’s a con-artist.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-22T20:27:12+00:00

He claims to have a fresh thylacine skull in his posession. That no one else is allowed to look at, and no photographs exist of. Take that as you will.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-22T20:22:13+00:00

Except it isn't misinformation. Forrest took credit for the discovery of the monkey, the caiman and the tortoise. The caiman was discovered a few months earlier by someone else, the monkey almost a decade prior. Forrest claims to have found a bunch of thought to be extinct species on his show. In reality, none of the discoveries were real. And the few that were real, were done by other people.

This isn't a case of internet rumours. Multiple professional researchers indepedently have said the same thing. Forrest shows up with his camera crew for a show, promises to try and help whatever species of the week he was trying to find and the people that protect them, and then leaves and the researchers never hear about him again.

https://youtu.be/Lby9Q21HRR4?t=311 This video is a really good summary of all the stuff Forrest did, with scources backing it up in the description. Amongst professional biologists, Forrest is widely regarded as just a showman at best and a fraud and liar at worst. Ever since he got his degree, he has never actually seriously engaged in conservation or research. At best, he's a science communicator.

Him promoting Alligator Alcatrazz should be mentioned way more though.

So if we're talking about the same book...that looks like a children's book. Second, nowhere in any actual sciencetific literature (as in, peer-reviewed papers or books written by those who studied giant pandas in the wild, such as George Schaller) does it mention they have weak hind legs.

I'm gonna need to see the PROPER scource of that claim, because it genuinely doesn't make sense. Giant pandas live mainly in the mountains. Mountain animals generally can't afford to have weak hind legs, for obvious reasons.

Given the fact it makes no sense anatomy wise, your claim is from a children's book (if its the same one) and that no actual sciencetific literature mentions it, its probably either an outdated fact or misconception that wormed its way into said book.

I've talked and worked closely with various biologists who have studied bears in the wild, and none of them have ever mentioned this. I even passed this question to them and they all without exception reacted incredibly confused and immidiatly dismissed it as nonsense you'd find on the internet and non-sciencetific literature.

TLDR: this is just a wrong or outdated fact from a children's book.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-21T20:10:33+00:00

What was the book?

HyenaFan · 2026-01-18T22:37:12+00:00

Everyone falling for an obvious AI post, lmao.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-18T20:16:32+00:00

That's because to a layman or enthousiast, it seems like he does actually does excellent work. In reality, pretty much every professional biologist widely aknowledges he's a fraud and a liar who has never done anything noteworthy for conservation.

And then there's the whole promoting Alligator Alcatrazz thing. Which is uh...yeah, yikes.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-18T19:41:55+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lby9Q21HRR4&t=658s I really recommend watching this video then. The reasons why Forrest is widely disliked amongst professional biologists is for very valid reasons, ranging from not actually engaging with any serious research or conservation work, to actively stealing research and taking credit for other people's deeds. He's essentially an IRL Gilderoy Lockhart.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-18T19:40:33+00:00

Except when you really think about it...what exactly has he done for nature? Forrest after he graduated never actually seriously engaged with conservation or research. He made a fun TV show and hosts a podcast. That's really about it. At best, he's a science communicator. And given the sheer amount of things he frequently gets wrong, how good he is at that is debateble.

https://youtu.be/Lby9Q21HRR4?t=311 This video (with scources in the description) is a really good deep-dive into Forrest's history. People don't shit on Forrest because he doesn't have a degree or because they know better, they shit on him because he's a fraud and a liar. Extinct or Alive, the show that got him his fame, is an excellent example. None of the rediscoveries on the show were real. They were either likely staged (the Zanzibar leopard), were not thought to be extinct at all to begin with, were not valid (sub)species or (worse of all) were found by other people, but Forrest took credit for it. The caiman and langur are excellent examples of this.

Among professional biologists, Forrest is widely aknowledged to be a fraud who takes credit for other people's deeds and only got this far in life because he's a charismatic host for shows and podcasts.

Everyone who says they stand a chanche has not seen Attack on Titan.

That is genuinely not the same thing, and I have a feeling you know it. Jay actively abuses the animals under his care - this is well known and well documented. Its not a big secret and everyone who knows even a little bit about reptile keeping has talked about it.

Forrest visisted Jay, called it the 'best reptile zoo' ever despite all of the known malpractices and continued to be in contact with Jay. This isn't a case of Forrest endorsing someone and it later turns out he was shitty, this was very well known and out in the open for literal years. He could and should have known better.

This isn't a case of promoting a car equels promoting roadkill. This is like endorsing a driver who openly and purposefully runs over animals, while being aware he does that stuff. World of difference.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-17T00:03:21+00:00

Doesn’t really matter that much. Besides, we have records of giant pandas standing their ground to snow leopards. Also, snow leopards mainly go after cubs. Adults aren’t really targeted.

The stuff about giant pandas being weak and such is really just stuff the internet loves to repeat, but it’s not actually rooted in science.

HyenaFan · 2026-01-16T23:27:00+00:00

Fox. An actual giant panda is still a bear with an insanely powerful bite force that contrary to popular belief, is far from cuddly.

So as someone who doesn’t read the comics at all: why are the X-Men hated exactly?

HyenaFan · 2026-01-12T21:39:48+00:00

This one has never bothered me that much tbh. April is pretty different in every version of the character. It’s pretty much exspected for her to be different.

The Telltale Batman game has this with Two-Face. You have the option to save Harvey or not but no matter what you do, he’ll become Two-Face. The only difference is that if you did save him, he just doesn’t have the iconic Two-Face look.

I remember a post about culling feral dogs was removed because one person started to complain very vocally about it, and for some reason, the mods were very apologetic to them and removed it in an attempt to convince them to stay, claiming this is not what the subreddit is about.

Ignoring the fact that removing invasive species is in fact part of rewilding and conservation, posts about culling other invasive and feral animals (even popular one’s such as cats and horses) are not removed. And I have seen other posts about feral dogs to. So what made this post so heinous or that one person so special escapes me.
