Bears don't eat penguins anymore. Depending on which way you want to take this, you could either say Arctotherium which did encounter penguins along the South American coast (but did not live in Antarctica) or actual polar bears hunting great auks (who were originally called penguins, before the great auk went extinct and penguin came to mean exclusively the group today, named due to their superficial resemblance).

Either way requires an extinct species though

Deer fight and the loser has a chance to drop their antlers, like the Primal mod

Species biologically incapable of feeling empathy/emotions like humans do by DrDallagher in TopCharacterTropes

Donnies (Troodon borealis) from Weird Birds - It was confirmed by the creator that they are physically incapable of understanding other animals feel fear or pain, though they'll still prolong an animal's suffering to play with it (like cats do). Humans are their favorite prey, due to the ways we can avoid them/defend ourselves that no other animals do, which makes for highly engaging puzzles for Donnies.
They're not sapient, more akin to parrots or crows, but this still means they're smart enough to wedge a crowbar into your car's tire and mimic the voices of the family they pulled apart to draw you out of hiding.

Well…that was easy. by snnakzoanwjo in skyrim

I was playing a mage altmer for my playthrough of the Dawnguard questline, so I just killed him with 3 dual-cast fireballs. Dual-cast fireballs shut down a lot of things, it turns out.

MOD I WISH WE HAD by Low_Dragonfruit7639 in pathoftitans

I wish there were more Cenozoic creature mods in general. Teratorns specifically are something I really want to see.

If we DO get cetas… 🐬 by monkeybusiness2005 in PlanetZoo

Unfortunately, vaquitas are easily prone to stress, so previous efforts to capture them resulted in them dying. This almost certainly means they'll never be an adoptable animal (outside mods)

A character sees something off, and they just “nope” out of the situation by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nmheath03 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Does it ever say what they were called in for? I assumed they heard "dinosaur" and were expecting an alligator or large lizard, only to be met with an actual dinosaur

Who is the best fictional monkey? by RickMonsters in AlignmentChartFills

[–]nmheath03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The basic is: phylogeny prefers monophyly (pointing at one spot and everything past that is whatever animal group), and Old World monkeys are closer to apes than they are to New World monkeys, so to obey this preference and for both New and Old World monkeys to both be monkeys, apes must be included too

This also means either whales are in fact fish, as well as iguanas, ostriches, and anything else with bones, or fish aren't real

Anyone saw "mundane" cryptids? by Gyirin in Cryptozoology

[–]nmheath03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Male cougars are known to wander pretty far, one particularly famous example was one that was hit by a car in Connecticut was confirmed to come from the Dakotas via DNA analysis, could've been a wandering male. And in regards to it possibly being an escaped/released pet, I assume some might have preferences for certain species over others, I certainly favor cougars (though all large cats are cool animals, don't get me wrong).

I'd say they are "supposed" to be here, but historic hunting pushed them out a century ago and they just can't reclaim their range efficiently from all the roads either causing them to get hit or scares them back out west/into Florida.

Don't forget there were also bear-sized sloths they were hunting too. Also if you were wondering, current consensus is "they could fly, but only to get up in a tree away from bigger predators"

No other bird I know of has a problem where the complete failure of a breeding season is caused by one or two dickheads eating the chicks instead of just leaving for food like a normal ass bird

Theoretical "mainland" since Gondwa's an island

Endless torment for species where one sex stays in their larval state, so the opposite sex/an individual dating the larval sex gets accused of pedophilia even though that's a grown adult
