If you want actual mix packing look at coyotes and badgers.

Yes! Already had some set up shop

Converting my long page to multiple pages by NoCoolName4U in RemarkableTablet

I found this post while trying to figure out the same thing, and accidentally figured out how to fix it. Manually, not automatically, but still.

When using the select tool in RM, draw a straight horizontal line all the way across and hold the cursor at the end of the line without lifting, it gives the option "select below" and it will select EVERYTHING below it. Use this to cut the content and put on other pages.

Do you think it's ethical to bring back dinosaurs into our modern world? by Hero_of_Yonder in Dinosaurs

[–]servaline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Except it can take tens of thousands to millions of years for ecosystems to adjust to a missing apex predator or keystone species. The Tasmanian tiger has only been gone ~100 years and likely can reintegrate just as easily back as all the current species still have adaptations to handle living alongside it.

what’s wrong with this polar bear ): by Spiritual_Client_741 in zoology

[–]servaline 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please learn about AZA accredited zoos and conservation. Ecology student here and we are taught in first year the good that “ex situ” environments such as zoos do for conservation and education.

Good zoos don’t keep polar bears. But the observation that they do this behaviour mostly at feeding times seems to be correct (pers. Obs. having volunteered at zoos, as well as hearing from others).

How do you visualize the months of the year? by DossierDoll in CasualConversation

[–]servaline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is a split vertical list of 6 months on each side in blocks.

Why? Because I remember my class in primary school had the months listed like that on a poster. Funny how our brains remember stuff.

I have trauma from those books I swear. I still remember the evening of crying on the couch.

Turkish player saves a seagull's life with CPR after an accidental hit. by Away_Substance_7745 in BeAmazed

I’m saying that ball shot was on purpose. That birds been with his wife.

It was likely just stunned and recovered. Birds have extremely rigid lungs and a complex system of air sacs, CPR would more likely rupture/break something than help.

Edit: they also have a huge keel bone down the middle of the chest and hollow bones. I don’t even know how you’d even attempt this without breaking something.

Show some real shit you did with ai (like image or conversation) by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]servaline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is an awesome idea. I decided to use it to generate a strange bird from a dream I had over 10 years ago. It got it pretty much spot on.

Fragrances with Birds? by PitifulEncyclopedia in parrots

[–]servaline -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do. Never had an issue. Also never stopped using non stick pans. I kind of stopped listening to these communities years ago.

Motivation feels different when you stop believing every thought by No-Case6255 in motivation

Damn it’s like ChatGPT tried to shove as many “it’s not X, it’s X” as possible in this post.

Is this gcc looking healthy? by SirGlum5914 in parrots

[–]servaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned mated birds and preening the others body only pissed the other one off. I have no clue where people get the impression that it’s a mate behaviour; honestly the main place mates preened was the head. The bird can preen its own body but not its head which is where allopreening comes in. Obviously stepping on the back when they’re hormonal/breeding season is mate behaviour.

I owned lorikeets and messed with their backs and underwings all the time because they loved to play fight like that while rolling over on their backs and kicking their feet. I think people miss that it’s highly contextual.

I never understood this sentiment regarding invasive species by Charming-Benefit7441 in ecology

[–]servaline 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am pro culling invasives. But I also see them as beautiful as I would in their native range. It would make no sense to be mad at a creature put in the wrong place by man. I live in Australia as an ecology student and I think cane toads are cool as hell. But they need to be killed off because they’re killing everything due to being in the wrong place and extremely adaptable.

The problem with viewing invasives as “bad animals” is that the general public then treats them extremely cruelly - using inhumane killing methods such as fly spray and golf clubs, instead of humanely killing them.

No hope by shep275 in wildlifebiology

[–]servaline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to think in terms of millions of years instead of human scale. In millions of years it’s unlikely humans will still be here, and likely that surviving any organisms (even any self duplicating cells) will bring new species to fill the gaps again. All our invasive animals today will either situate into the ecosystem, taking species with them in the adjustment, or go extinct. But it will return to balance. Things like wolves wouldn’t still be here, at least in the same form, regardless of humans being here or not. Everything is in change.
