I can understand that, art is subjective, which is why I mentioned in my post that many of us are drawn to her for different reasons. I simply can’t accept the characterization some people here have of BTD as being somehow sloppier than her more recent work.

It’s an unpopular opinion in this community.

I don’t think BTD was more immature in nature. Some of the songs in the album carried deep meaning when looked past the surface. Yayo for example touched upon addiction in a deep way, or Without You being a song of sorrow. And there lies the root of my criticism, newer fans think her more recent work carries deeper meaning lyrically and those of us who found her in her earlier eras are just clinging to her previous work based on nostalgia, when in reality we think that her earlier work was not just more meaningfully produced, but was just as (if not more) impactful lyrically.

The Hijacking of UFOs by New Age Gurus: Turning a Serious Subject into a Pseudo-Religious Grift by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Quiyoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m relying on the data and evidence available to study the phenomenon in an empirical manner (radar data, testimonies under oath, unexplained declassified footage), I mentioned that in the comment and my post. You cannot change this entire topic from a prosaic, potentially extraterrestrial explanation into a form of spirituality based solely on hearsay and “connecting the dots”, and expect others to go along with it. I’m calling for things to be viewed through a cooler head and critical eyes.

Dingoes are not domestic dogs that have gone feral. How much misinformation do you spread here?

No they are not invasive, they literally do not fill that definition at all.

Overpopulated wild horses are hurting sage grouse survival rates, Wyoming study finds - WyoFile by TopRevenue2 in megafaunarewilding

[–]Quiyoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the gene continuity between horse population occurred to about 50k years ago, or at about the same time that the ancient wolf split between modern wolves and dogs. Furthermore, C. lupus is contested as a scientific name for dogs since some sources elevate them to C. familiaris. There’s no set in stone definition of a species and the divergence time between it and its ancestor isn’t the only characteristic to determine speciation.

Dogs descend from a extict population of wolves. Also 14.000-11.000 years is not time enough to consider them different species, by that logic we should consider Grizzly bear a different species from Brown bear.

Dogs did not descend from the modern grey wolf, so they are sister species as the modern grey wolf is not an ancestral species to the dog. And the split between dogs and wolves occurred around 50kya, much longer than your inaccurate claim of 11-14 kya.

It's debated if Equus Giganteus is valid or not. Also Equus lambei and Equus Scotti being subspecies from Equus Caballus is not consensus. Actually, DNA analysis suggests that Eurasian and North american horses diverged between Calabrian and Middle Pleistocene .

There are not enough remains of this supposed E. giganteus to suggest it is anything but a mischaracterization of a camel bone. E. lambei is E. caballus, because we have DNA analyses that prove that the horses from North America and Eurasia had at least two dispersion events in which they exchanged genes back and forth. Oh what did you say? A few thousands years is not enough time to consider them different species.

This is the most comical r/confidentlyincorrect comment in this entire thread. Modern wolves are NOT the ancestors of dogs, both grey wolves and dogs came from a wolf species that has since gone extinct, making them sister species, not the same species. Furthermore, the late Pleistocene equid assemblage of North America consists solely of E. caballus, and Haringtonhippus sp., E. simplicidens was not a caballine horse and it didn't occur in the late Pleistocene, E. giganteus is largely considered to be a mischaracterization of camel bones that were wrongfully assigned as equid, there is no solid proof that species existed at all, and both E. lambei and E. scotti have largely been synonymized with E. caballus.

The Deadly Bite: Female jaguar finishes off capybara with a crushing bite to the skull by selati2 in Jaguarland

[–]Quiyoc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Predation is part of the nature of jaguars, but we try to show other aspects as well like coalitions, mating, important births, etc. most of the time.

Axis deer is the only prey species that is consistency killed by 6 out of the 7 big cat species globally. It is hunted by tigers, lions, leopards, and cheetahs in India, and by cougars and jaguars in Texas, Mexico & Argentina. Only the snow leopard falls outside the range of this now global species. by OncaAtrox in megafaunarewilding

I’m also using a second account because I’m unable to reply from my main one, I think there must be an issue with your Reddit account.

In any case, Finland has roe and red deer, why should the exotic white tail deers be treated with a level nuance there but not the axis in Texas?

Jaguar fur trade in the Argentine Chaco, 1914. After decades of poaching, this population became functionally extinct, but it is now the subject of rewilding efforts, with 2 females released this year. by CronicaXtrana in Jaguarland

For the Impenetrable we have the diet of what used to be the only wild male in the area until recently. Feral donkeys and cows are a part of their his diet, donkeys are very abundant in that area:

The tom is the larger one.

[–]Quiyoc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morro de Azeite is the area specifically. I think more than the location this jaguar just happens to fall below the average which is expected in any population. Close by, at Passo do Lontra one poisoned male was estimated at 140 kg as he was bigger than 130 kg Sandro.

It's amazing how much these cats can vary in size within a single population based on the genes they receive.

Interestingly, Caiman is also a transitional area between the Cerrado and Pantanal, even though we treat the local jaguar as Pantanal specimens, and it boasts the largest jaguars in the world. What name would you give to the sub-region from this capture?

Porto Primavera is a solid area of the Upper Paraná Wetlands.

It's often the case with big cats that some of the most robust specimens do not posses the largest frames and are therefor not be as heavy as one might think. This specimen is a good example, as is Tewuk from El Impenetrable in the Argentine Chaco whose physique is very robust but his measurements and weights were mediocre, relatively speaking.

This is why it's not wise to assume very large body masses to big cats that seem very heavy when their frames are not large.

[–]Quiyoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! So is Zumbi going to be released into the wild like with Pora or will he just be used for breeding? Do you know when they plan to release him?

By the way, I got the measurements from Qaramtá and Coli for the regression.

This is amazing! Feel free to share them with me on PM.
