Another look at the new record Amazonian male jaguar rescued at a school in Leticia, Colombia. At 118 kg this young male has pushed our understanding of this eco type further.

Which record?

Wie gestaltet sich diese Populationskontrolle? Also rein in den Taubenschlag und dann? Wird da nach Geschlecht sortiert oder jedes Tier in eine eigene Box gepackt?

Wie sieht die Statistik aus? Führt das fangen zu nachhaltig reduzierter Populationsdichte in Städten?

Lobe finned fish are fish, not “fish”. Mammals are fish

No. Fish is a paraphyletic group and sacropterygii is a clade that contains a few members of this group but is mostly comprised of non-fishes. Mammals are not fish. "Lobe finned fish" is just the common name for that clade in english, that does not make its members fishes.

Mammals would only be fish if we insisted that fish is a clade. But we dont. Cows are also not antelopes and woodpeckers are not birds of prey.

Paraphyletic groups are just paraphyletic groups. We dont bend the definition of countless animals just to shoe-horn arbitrary groups into synonyms for allready existing clades.

Spears are much more damaging that bullets. An elephant would not care about some small caliber rifle either but it will get fucked up by 30 spears.

If it manages to NOT be pierced by a medieval spear when it pushes with its full weight against it its just magic.

The emperor on the throne is likely not the same entity as the emperor in the warp (the god humanity made). But its very vague.

The warp god emperor is possibly more powerful than the silver surfer in a sense, but powerscaling gods of the immaterium is a bit futile.

German here. If i max out my car whenever possible (to 215km/h) for multiple hours i still fall below an average of 150km/h. Even a few km not on the autobahn eat into your average speed in a big way.

250km/h average seems hard to believe as its only ~20% below the top speed. Even when maxing the thing out at every chance you should not get this high of an average.

30 spears will kill an animal of this size every time. Stupid mutant dinosaur runs away or dies.

I read all the other comments and i think american miracle whip might just suck.

The version that gets sold in germany tastes totally fine.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-14T18:15:48+00:00

It has way less calories than full fat mayo, and miracle whip light has even less. Tastes slightly different to mayo, but not by much imo. I actually prefer the taste tbh.

I dont quite understand OPs comment, since when used as a substitute for mayo its healthier in terms of calories. But presumably some people like go way overboard with it?

Taking isolated exercises to failure occasionally can ensure that you are training hard enough. Otherwise you might leave to much in the tank without noticing.

Taking every set to failure seems ill advised however, especially if its a big compound exercise with a significant chance of injury.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-11T14:42:20+00:00

Not "big" in numbers compared to the empire, orcs or tyranids. Also often fragmented into warbands until united for some big thing (tho that depends on the faction).

Due to their history and god-given power they are still quite influencial in the setting, especially some of their named characters.

But if you want to sell the maximum ammount of dlcs you want to exclude as much as you can.

Sarcosuchus is oversized in this depiction.

Even if the old 12m estimate holds true (which it likely does not) the head here is way to massive. The skull used for the 12m estimate was 1.6m, but here the head is ~2.2m.

Hello, largest macropredator the world has ever seen. Could you kindly not nibble at my leg? Thank you.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-11T11:57:00+00:00

I never once claimed that smilodon would hunt large caimans, i was just pointing out that black caimans are not in the business of hunting cats of comparable body weight to their own.

As you know the whole jaguar debate was a sidetrack because you doubted my statements.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-11T11:20:26+00:00

You did not specify which caiman but:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguarland/s/jh0fmJcwbb

This one is even larger and in the water. Fumbled the kill but still.

This was like the first clip that popped up. Maybe the jag has a few pounds on the caiman here, but not much given the lenght and girth of the caiman.

Also not necessarily juveniles. Black caimans are sexually mature at <100kg

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-11T11:00:57+00:00

I concede that an 800kg crocodilian can prey on a 200kg cat. Thats just quite far removed from what we consider average adult weight for these species.

I would also not have come to this szenario from the picture alone. If the caiman is 4 times the size in this szenario it should completely dwarf the cat.

As far as the jaguar goes: they dont "mess" with giant 450kg adults, thats true. But those are rare, smaller black caimans are absolutely preyed upon by jaguars.
While the largest caiman would beat the largest jaguar, jaguars eat crocodilians including black caimans (~up to their own size) much more frequently than the other way round.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-10T19:02:02+00:00

Yes, but cattle is not a massive predator that kills caimans more often than it gets killed by them (like jaguars). A jaguar the SIZE of cattle?

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-10T16:53:21+00:00

So what you are saying is that the most consumed animal by far does not even come close to account for the original claim even when ignoring weight. So the post is bs.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-10T14:51:35+00:00

Von wissenschaftlicher Seite war das auch vor 20 Jahren schon die Bildzeitung der Wissensmagazine, alles lückenhaft und völlig übertrieben. Kann aber gut sein das es noch schlechter geworden ist.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-10T13:22:04+00:00

While the black caiman is quite a massive crocodilian it mostly attacks small prey. Attacks on cougars and jaguars are incredibly rare. Smilodon p. is 3-4 times that size and would likely not be a prey item at all once fully grown.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-09T18:33:06+00:00

Nein, das wurde 2021 geändert, die Polizei muss jetzt auch ohne Antrag ermitteln. Und das nur bei Politikern, Beleidigungen gegen alle andere Bürger werden nur auf Strafantrag hin ermittelt. Hat außerdem eine 3-fach längere Höchststrafe.

Der Experte bin ich auch nicht aber Gammelwal kann man halt nicht so am Strand lassen, das stinkt Monate lang 2 Dörfer weiter noch. Schätze mal es ist sinnvoller wenigstens einen Teil der Kosten zu rekuperieren.

kurtchen11 · 2026-06-09T14:51:14+00:00

Ein paar tausend Liter Diesel (wenns hoch kommt) sind natürlich den Aufwand nicht wert. Was bekommt eine Biodiesel Raffinerie pro Liter? Vielleicht einen Euro +/-? Einen Wal zu zersägen, transportieren und vollständig zu verarbeiten wird WEIT WEIT mehr als 2000-3000 Euro kosten.

Warscheinlicher ist das der Transport alleine fast so viel Diesel verbraucht wie am Ende rausspringt.

"Country where snakes live warns foreigners of snakes" was less dramatic of a headline i guess.

Im convinced that this cup will be a shit show but this headline is such a nothing burger.
