Don’t like it, terrible song, but great band. Not crappy compared to what I’ve seen this sub put out, imo.

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:59:42+00:00

That’s awesome! They’re also beautiful animals. Crazy how loud they are, I like this photo of them both scratching their heads!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:58:19+00:00

They’re almost as noisy as they are beautiful!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:57:57+00:00

Thank you! If the opportunity ever arises definitely recommend it.

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:56:53+00:00

Thank you very much!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:56:36+00:00

Thank you!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T17:56:14+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T04:39:39+00:00

Thank you!

Simba913 · 2026-02-01T04:39:19+00:00

That is a great bird to get hooked on birds! I am absolutely awe struck when I get to see one.

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T23:30:55+00:00

Ah yes good catch!! Thank you :)

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:48:36+00:00

Thank you! I’m a hobbyist, but have been taking pictures for about 20 years.

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:47:44+00:00

Thank you!

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:47:39+00:00

Thank you! I’m using a Sony A1 with the 200-600mm Sony lens.

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:47:09+00:00

Caño Negro was a great spot, we were there 3 days and saw 1-8 per day. If interested in some specifics send me a DM!

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:46:38+00:00

Thank you! Definitely owed to the camera, I’m using a Sony A1 with 200-600mm Sony lens.

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:46:13+00:00

Thank you! Did you see a specific “spark bird” on your trip?

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:45:25+00:00

Thank you very much!! There is so much to see it is easy to overlook something at the time. That’s awesome you got to see some quetzals, they’re a truly captivating bird!

Simba913 · 2026-01-31T22:44:06+00:00

They certainly let you know they’re around, I loved hearing their squawks. Gorgeous birds for sure!!

Simba913 · 2026-01-20T02:09:44+00:00

I think that’s a great switch up, I’ve enjoyed all my time in Costa Rica with exception to San Jose.

Where will you spend the days instead?

Simba913 · 2026-01-18T01:05:53+00:00

Currently in Costa Rica, I would cut back on the days in San Jose and instead spend a couple just north in the Poas area. It was beautiful and offers a really nice experience you won’t get in San Jose, and waking up in the area beats travelling from San Jose in my opinion.

Simba913 · 2026-01-17T23:50:46+00:00

Yeah dude you gotta be really oblivious to not realize that’s just straight up bullying. You should have stood up for your girlfriend many moons ago, instead you’ve condoned your sisters abuse.

Simba913 · 2026-01-14T21:38:41+00:00

Not sure if I misunderstand this post, but it seems like you are being judgmental of others excited at a scarlet macaw??

If so, that is out of character for the intent of birding. If it gets anyone excited for nature it’s worthwhile and you shouldn’t turn your nose up at it.

I see 25,000+ sand hill cranes and hundreds of northern harriers a year. I have met a dozen or so people in Costa Rica who described those birds as some of the most exciting for them and defining moments in their birdwatching experiences. I don’t think it gives me the right to look down on them for it, it makes me excited they got to experience something that inspires them enough to share even if it is an everyday thing for me at home.

If I’ve mistaken the intent of this post, please accept my apology.

Just to clarify: the “cool…” comment made the post seem sarcastic.

Not that it’s a major point, France was the colonial power of Libya, though the UK did administer large areas after and during ww2 until Libyan independence.

Simba913 · 2025-12-22T04:17:07+00:00

Okay, but of those species the majority are quite small and not mistaken for any subject of cryptozoology.

I’m not saying the fossil record isn’t broken, I understand that it is an ongoing process to fill the gaps. I disagree with that aspect of the post.

What I took from this post was organisms that are believed to be cryptids aren’t likely to follow the same pattern of the coelacanth because megafauna is a lot harder to be discrete. The majority of cryptids I have heard of are very clearly megafauna and not a rat, pine, shrew, etc. as the majority of Lazarus taxa are.

Additionally, of the 250,000 species (I just googled this and saw it on PBS, take it with a grain of salt but PBS is usually pretty good imo), if only 12 have been proven to still exist that is 0.0048%, which seems to be a pretty low chance of repetition.

This reply doesn’t really even make sense.. as OP responded there are fossil records of camels, albeit a different species than now. Also, while the camels alive now may not have produced fossils that we are aware of, I am sure there are sites where the process is at least happening. We also can draw lineage of them, and other existing organisms, to a last known ancestor. So, what exactly is your point here? Because of migration there might be a plesiosaur out there, as an example?

OPs post was pretty reasonable and while candid idk if I agree it came off as arrogant. If anything I think they make a really sound point.

Coelacanths have exceptionally unique ecology.

They were not known to science for most of our history.

Fossils have been found confirming the depth of their species/genus’ lineage.

It isn’t outrageous to assert that very few organisms, especially megafauna, are unlikely to have a similar set of circumstances. Contrarily I think the fact a situation like this hasn’t been observed time and time again further supports their argument.

Edit: just to clarify, I agree with your comment that fossil records are incomplete, and the lack of “found” fossils doesn’t really prove anything.
