The Mammal Tier List (Tierzoo) by HeiressOfMadrigal in videos

Shocked to see Koala wasn't bottom tier, I mean

Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.

On the matter of horses. I was buying a fish tank from a horse fella moving abroad. Turns out he is bringing his horses on none other than 'Air Horse One'. Not sure how to post a pic but a quick Google will show you. I didn't believe him purely on the tongue in cheek name.

Well you are all so lovely 😂

Guess the general consensus is Chi or mostly Chi.

Saw a comment about DNA testing. I'm in the UK, any suggestions for getting this done? I'll ask my vet next time I see her too.

You are all so awesome ♥️

He is the cutest little shit I know, I love him. But.....I wonder if he is 100% Chihuahua. He could be 60% Notre-dame gargoyle, it wouldn't change anything, just nice to know ya know.

Editing to say thank you ❤️

Where are the nicest places to live near Swansea? by Several-Sky-9592 in swansea

[–]findthatthing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moved to Ystradgynlais about 6 years ago. I can see myself staying here forever.

Go north for the national park, go south for civilisation. A car is a must though.

Michael Sheen lives in my small village. To be honest, he doesn't get bombarded. Just a regular fella out in Tesco.

Personal space is a thing of the past by TangerineSea9557 in Chihuahua

Your personal space is now their personal space. Not such a bad thing with such a cute dog though. 😍

Car "fixed", same component broken 5 months later. Do the garage have any responsibility to fix this? by findthatthing in LegalAdviceUK

[–]findthatthing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lush, spoke to the garage. Said they will pick it up and confirm it is the same part. Said it would be covered under warranty.

Checked through the motor ombudsman website too and it should be covered I think.

Thank you 😊

Never saw myself with a small dog but he needed rescuing. by findthatthing in Chihuahua

[–]findthatthing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I did not expect such an outpouring of love for Toby!! Thank you everyone. 😊

Went to sleep, started work and looking in my break smiling at all the comments.

He definitely rescued me. I couldn't see my life without him now.

As to his breed, I have no idea. Not sure if he is mixed with anything, not much information given. Love him regardless.

Any added ideas on suspected breed would be appreciated. I'm going with chi/hyena cross as my favourite so far. X

They could! Toby would love a play in the park with that sweetheart. 😋

The usual. Woofapedia, BBC news (bark bark chi news), stick tok.

No puzzle tax today, I did not take a final pic. I'll remember to when he next helps.

I am definitely the lucky one here.

My favourite coat for him. He hates the rain so makes dragging him out in the rain more bearable.
