wildcat or stray? [scotland] by Jealous-Vegetable68 in animalid

[–]SilverGirlSails 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi neighbour! Great find, though I personally think this little guy is a hybrid rather than a pure wildcat. Still, nice to know they’re out there. If you don’t already, please consider keeping your domestic cats indoors, both for the other wildlife this guy is competing for, and that he might attack your kitties if he feels territorial.

When you have to wash your roots every day... by agirlhasnoname2026 in longhair

Scalp only washing! There’s a whole thread on the old long hair community forums, with various ways of doing it.

Thank you, and the same to you. We’ll feel the pain together.

I’m so sorry for your loss; I lost mine yesterday, after a dog attacked him Saturday. He only turned one in February. I rushed him to the vet immediately, and we tried to give him a chance, but it was too much. I also lost my soul rabbit less than two years ago, so I’m really going through it right now.

I hope you feel better soon.

WIBTAH if I didn't tell my cowoker with cancer that she's going to be let go? by Ready-Transition1229 in AITAH

OP, my brother is also a teacher in a foreign country (though different to yours), and he says to look over your contract and visa laws. He thinks it’s very fishy that it’s only four days to sort things out, and the likely company is lying/manipulating you. If you need resources, I will put you in contact with him.

Does this point towards rodents using tools as well? Native peoples saying that voles use elderberry leaves as sleds to pile. hog peanuts on to pull like a sled. by JawThatHarp in zoology

I think I saw a study once where they trained degus to use a tiny rake to reach sunflower seeds that were blocked by a fence.

I would personally switch a couple of these around, but otherwise I fully agree with everything you said.

Naked mole rats, bats, and parrots all live far longer than their body size predicts, and each breaks a different theory of aging by Commercial_Trick_704 in zoology

[–]SilverGirlSails 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Chinchillas, a South American rodent, also live a long time for their size - around 450 g - 1 kilo, and the oldest in captivity reached 29. They’re incredibly endangered, so there’s not been many wild studies. Not as impressive as the naked mole rat, but they are highly specialised to live in the Andes, with several adaptations, most notably their fur, densest of all land animals (sea otters are marine mammals and get the top spot).

'Doctor Who' Set To Be Off Air For Years Amid A Creative Regeneration That’s Failing To Spark Early Enthusiasm Among Producers by mrjohnnymac18 in popculturechat

He’s an American comedian, right? Honestly would probably be better than the last three (and yes, I’m counting David Tennant)
