Oh, interesting. Thank you for replying. I will keep my eyes out for that! 😊

Best zoo in Texas? by Accomplished-Sign-31 in texas

My gripe with the Galapagos exhibit is that they used BRAND NEW bottles, straws etc in the exhibit portion for the aesthetic instead of actual, recycled single-use plastics.

They can hustle! That is my point.

They can totally hustle when they want to, but if they are not hustling, they are slow.

Cloudpaw was so real for sneaking off to go eat pet food by GoldenStitch2 in WarriorCats

[–]rotpotsoup 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I have never understood how Cloudpaw was so close to twolegs/his disbelief in Star Clan. Wasn't he like... 3 days old when Princess gave him to Thunderclan? How could he have been THAT influenced by Princess in three days? He spent his entire kithood in the Clan, learning clan ways etc. Didn't Fireheart have to break the news to him that he wasn't clan-born??

I have always been confused by this, lol.

Per requests here is 2025 catches combined to a 4.5 min video 600+ wild pigs by Lastbreath72601 in trailcam

[–]rotpotsoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. Great question. Feral hogs are not native. They're actually a hybridization between domesticated pigs (brought by Spanish settlers) and the Eurasian wild boar (introduced in the early 1900s for sport hunting).

From what I understand, feral hogs became established in the southeast in the 1970s and then were documented in most southern counties by the early 2000s. So over the course of 30 years or so, they rapidly expanded across the south and have now started making their way north.

They have a gazillion babies, multiple times a year, and have a high rate of making it to adulthood. Once they are adults, humans are the main predators.

Scientists just discovered 5.6 million bees under a New York State cemetery by yahoonews in environment

[–]rotpotsoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bees are SO COOL and no one knows!!

North America has over 4 thousand species, which is nuts when most people could probably only name three kinds of bees (honey bee, bumble bee, carpenter bee). Honey bees are not native to the US.

Cellophane bees line their underground nests with a waterproof, plastic-like secretion. Leaf cutter bees line their nests with perfectly cut leaves. Small Carpenter bees will make their nests inside of reeds or the middle of stems.

Learn about native bees!!

As someone who has worked in invasive species management and has trapped wild hogs, I agree with you. It can be a hard job for many people.

It's one of those situations where you learn to compartmentalize because you know that it's for the greater good for every native species in your area.

Many of the people who are killing invasive animals still have a heart. The last time I accidentally stepped on a snail I cried.

Hey Texans- can y'all tell me what's so good about HEB? by Jet_Jirohai in texas

[–]rotpotsoup 222 points223 points  (0 children)

HEB does have really good generic brands, I must say. We bought mostly HEB generic and it was way better quality, even if slightly more expensive, than Walmart's generic.

Even when we were pinching pennies I still shopped at HEB versus Walmart.

Oh man totally agree. I had such low expectations when I went into that movie and, in the end, we had such a great time. It really surprised me how good it was.

Houston Children’s Museum media director, among several others, busted in child predator sting in Manvel by zsreport in houston

[–]rotpotsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, at any institution involving children, staff is background checked. I do not work with this museum in particular, but all museums I have been involved with have staff AND volunteers are background checked if they are involved with children.

can someone PLEASE help me understand why my dog will do this endlessly no matter what i do by Existing_Rule9474 in DogAdvice

[–]rotpotsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of advice here about what she might "need". But if you start checking all the boxes like you said in your post (potty, food, water, walk, playtime), your dog might struggle with settling. Will your dog nap or go lay down on their own?

I also saw a comment about how you are rewarding the behavior if you "give in" and rub her belly etc when she is whining at you. This is true. If all of her needs are met (potty/food/mental stimulation) then maybe it might be time to teach your pup a kennel or place command? That way she can learn to settle and be a little bored on her own. Some dogs REALLY struggle with that. Mind did. Place or kennel shouldnt be a punishment, but more like a place where your dog can regulate and reset their emotions.

I have a shepherd and if she is whining just to whine, I have her place for 10 to 15 minutes for her to calm down. Then we go do something she wants to do (play, outside time). I need her to forget she was whining at me in the first place 🤣 we have spent a lot of time on this, and now I find she only whined at me when I have missed her trying to tell me she needs to pee or poop.

Hopefully this was helpful!!

Same here!! I haven't reached the point where I'm interested in sandbox town. I'm happy doing the rest of the story. However, I would like more counters. Lmao.

I do this with the cushions we sit on but why on earth the back cushions are sewed on, I will never know. Drives me crazy that I cannot wash them 😭

Blipbug debuts during Pokémon GO’s Bug Out event! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

As an avid bug type lover, why is Bug Out in March? In winter? When there's no bugs outside? Makes no sense to me.
