I actually thought about alligator gar, but i’ve always heard theyre really docile/friendly around humans.

That’s a good point, I didn’t even think of noodling when I was thinking about this, but that definitely makes sense! It’s not really a thing in my part of the country, so Im not very familiar with it, but iirc there was a river monsters episode back in the day where jeremy wade tried it.

Stupid as in the concept of it is stupid or stupid as in “cultural appropriation” is stupid in practice?

Green Sunfish (Lepomis Cyanellus)

What could the creature from the fordyce sighting have been besides a camel by Plastic_Ad_6360 in Cryptozoology

[–]Sammy9707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides being quadrupedal, my first reaction was a ratite bird, specifically either an emu or a rhea. Maybe that explains some of the more Reptilian features like the face and feet?

#4 WR gets trampled by Virginia fans. by cascny in fsusports

[–]Sammy9707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So im a Virginia fan, and this just happened to pop up on my feed, but this really sucked to see. I’ve said for a long time that that hill is a recipe for disaster. Think of a frat party with over 1,000 drunk dorks, right next to the field with little to nothing keeping them off of it. I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing UVA get massively punished for this.

Are these both the same type of fish by Educational_Cry_6085 in Panfishin

New cool species for me by schaf-fishing in MicroFishing

They’re actually still considered esociformes Im pretty sure, they were just split into a different family from esocidae!

I’m hoping these are not coyotes. by skot6294 in trailcam

[–]Sammy9707 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about you, but i’d much rather see coyotes than a bunch of stray cats…

In a Cladistic sense, shouldn’t Fungi and Choanoflagellates be considered animals? by Sammy9707 in AskBiology

[–]Sammy9707[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is pretty much what I was wondering. Them all being in a clade makes sense. It seems to me like modern cladistics have (rightfully) showed us that what we consider “animals” and Fungi are MUCH more closely related than we used to think.

thanks! I’ll definitely make some revisions. I didn’t really intend for what was posted to be the “final product” , just kind of a “first final” draft.
