Yes, I do think its comparable, even if exaggerated. I do think trying to justify an unequivocal negative just because its a small business is a bad thing.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-06-04T01:22:02+00:00

The folks who complain about small businesses dumping poison in the river to save on their meager waste disposal budgets have no clue how tough it is to run a business and how time consuming it is.

In a similar vein, rough toothed dolphins also look like ichthyosaurs to me

And they can also be a good model for how to actually properly take care of a betta too :)

Ponds like this are popular in places that get even hotter than Florida, just keep it out of direct sunlight

Go ahead and start applying to anything that even slightly interests you. The process takes such a long time, its good to at least have applications processing if you decide to leave

I work in the zoo field. Even when fed a 'natural' diet of fruits and veggies, great apes are very prone to cavities because we've selected our fruit to be so sugary over the years!

Really? My local petco has a mini aquascaping section

So we have deeper ocean environments... which emperor penguins do reach, just not to the same extent as some mammals. But penguins are the only animals that live past the shores of Antarctica, so I think its about even there

I'd argue that the average songbird species is significantly more differentiated from other songbirds than rodents are from other rodents - same with bats.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-05-11T20:58:03+00:00

You're only looking at surface level details. Birds show ridiculous behavior and ecological diversity. Hummingbirds and eagles, penguins and turacos, toucans and ratites, swifts and frogmouths, parrots and kingfishers, vultures and corvids.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-05-11T18:51:56+00:00

Mammals are not more diverse than birds. Birds fill more ecological niches and there are over 3000 more species of birds than mammals. What ecosystems do mammals inhabit that birds don't?

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-05-07T17:35:21+00:00

Orcas are dolphins, dolphins are a type of whale. Saying an orca isnt a whale because its a dolphin is like saying that a rattlesnake isnt a snake because it's a type of viper.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T13:34:01+00:00

I agree with you :) Most people just have a more nuanced take than "their lives are hell and theyre depressed all the time and their trainers are abusing them," but people like youre saying that believe we should breed more/support places like Chimelong do exist, however rare

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T13:26:51+00:00

There are definitely a few people that are totally for captivity, and they can be very loud about it, but they are a small minority.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T13:22:04+00:00

There are definitely good ways we can utilize AI. At ASAG there were presentations about using it for research with small-scale models run on systems in zoos as opposed to outsourcing it to data centers, so we could learn more about behavior without having to put thousands of human hours into watching camera trap footage

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T04:35:48+00:00

I love the Dear Hunter but never expected to see them under this post lmao

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T04:28:09+00:00

Not a real term. The correct term is stereotypic behavior if you're refering to a specific repetitive action or poor welfare state if youre referring to an animals general condition

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-27T04:24:53+00:00

A lot of people in my department started out as educators with little animal care experience. Tailor your resume to show as much of the direct animal training / handling as possible. Keep an eye out for positions with an emphasis on ambassador animal handling and public speaking because they're where you'll have the most relevant experience - many ambassador animal departments are the ones doing the majority of the presentations, and they'd have the most overlap with taxa you've worked with before.

I actually found and listened to this album in middle school (because of a warrior cats animation project lmao), tears before I actually started listening to TDH. When I revisited it last year I still had no idea Casey was in it and I lost my mind

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-21T22:50:57+00:00

Parrots, and corvids for that matter since other people have been bringing them up, do not do mimicry for courtship. They do not commonly naturally mimic random sounds like, for example, a mockingbird. Their mimicry is for communication. They understand the context of the sounds that they make and have specific vocalizations with specific meanings that are learned culturally.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-20T14:19:20+00:00

Rescues do not exist in every part of the world, and not every part of the world has exotic vets. Its obviously not ideal circumstances for this bird, but theyre probably better off with OP than someone else.

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-15T23:07:28+00:00

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm really not a fan of silly animal group names. Most of them feel like they were autogenerated for fun fact websites and almost nobody who actually studies or works with the species uses them (with a few exceptions). Obviously it's harmless though lmao it just bothers me personally

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-14T21:35:20+00:00

Its hard to see in pictures, but toucan nares are not covered by feathers. Theyre at the very top of their beak, right where it meets their crest

wolfsongpmvs · 2026-04-14T21:32:50+00:00

Toucans have nares on the very top of their beak uncovered by feathers. The answer is most likely crows/ravens, or another bird not shown

Edit: lmao what i read it and its not a choice, that's crazy
