As title? E.G. If they run into each other later in life, do they recognize each other, will they help each other if one is threatened by a predator, anything like that?
This is mostly for animals that leave when they grow up instead of staying together in a herd or pack.
White sclera is usually found in mammals but I'm just wondering if there are any reptile, amphibian, or bird species with a white sclera.
Like thats so stupid and wrong.You wont make anything better happen.You will just inflate other species numbers and make other species lose its lunch.Nature has been hurt with your intervention.
Only exceptions are:invasive species attacking native species/wild animals attacking pets and endangered species being attacked by wild species.
Or else you must suck up your baises and let nature do its thing.I didnt save Moth or was it Butterfly from Jumpeing Spider.Because I would do nature diservice by disrespecting both species role.
For second point people should suck up there baises for cute animals.
I get prefrences exists but in sicuactions such as invasive species you cant have baises.
Native species need to be protected at all cost even if...like in Australia stray house cats will die.Goverment is doing a service to its ecosystem and you have to accapt it.
Thats the reality.It hurts to relaise but you need to respect both species.Familiar and unfamiliar.Relaise whats more important.Not what your own brain tells you is right.
What nature needs.Balance over anything else.Cute species will still exist...just not in places that they are invasive in...thats the harsh natures truth.
My cat (who is 4 years old) and shes like my baby had started to become withdrawn about a month ago. I noticed that she would not go out always hiding in a corner and almost lifeless with no energy. I took her to the vets because i was so worried and now they have confirmed it is aids.
They have tried iv's and all sorts ... but nothing has worked! they have suggested i put her down but I just can't even think about it I want to do whatever I can to help her fight this!
Please if anyone has any advice about this I would be so greatful.
Hi,
I live in a suburban area that is a good chunk woods and wildlife, however we have a lot of construction for new developments happening.
Recently I have noticed that water that runs in the runoff trenches in our area has a cloudy red color now, not clear. I have also now noticed over the course of the past 3 weeks, at least 10 dead birds on the side of the road where the trenches are. This may be absolutely 100% nothing and just a total coincidence however I have never noticed that many dead birds before.
Anyway, just wondering if this is something worth calling someone to look into, and who do you even call to take a peek at stuff like this. I never once have had to reach out to a town/government person so I have no idea.
Any thoughts appreciated. Like I said, totally could be nothing but I figured mind as well say something just in case.
Hello! I am meeting a darling 2 year old cat to possibly adopt from a rescue tomorrow. The agency says she is fine with children, but needs to be the only animal in the home. What does this mean about the cat? Has anyone had any luck adopting a cat vs a kitten? Thanks!
About a week ago, a stray cat came to our door..We gave it food and pampered it. From then it hasn't been leaving our house, meowing if we keep it outside and we feel very bad. So most of the afternoon-evenings it stays in our house and then leaves at night.Usually doesn't make a lot of mess but today it came up (1st floor) and peed and poooped on my bed.. when I woke up the poop was smeared on my hand..it smelled.. We cannot adopt a cat right now because we are not in the position to. But if we let it go it feels like we already have it so much hope and now letting it go for our own selfishness we are also form a bond with it. This is what stopped me...What do I do?
(Also suspect that the cat is pregnant, not confirmed, no vet visits, very friendly for a stray cat, trusts us)
Me and my friend were sitting on some rocks earlier tonight at 9:17 and we heard a bear getting very angry and a woman screaming along with it. could this have been some kind of animal screaming? Please help, we ran for our lives
My parents got my nephew a Sulcata tortoise, it’s about 4 weeks old (he’s wanted one for years) over the weekend, and now they’re looking to get a bearded dragon for my niece, something she has also wanted for a long time.
So, can they cohabitate? Why/why not?
Edit - thank you for all of your advice.

Hello everyone, my best friend’s dog recently stopped eating and became lethargic out of nowhere. The vet seems to think it’s leptospirosis. My friend has already spent 2500 to keep him in treatment for the last 2 days. The vet is asking for 5000 for the full treatment. You guys don’t know me or my friend, but this is genuinely the sweetest and bestest boy we have ever met and anyone whose met bosco can attest. We’d do anything for this guy. We are just broke college kids, so anything helps even just sharing. Thank you all!
Me and my brother were getting our new budgies to Perch on our fingers, they were doing it fine with my brother but we’re skeptical with me, my brother got them to Perch 3 times each I got them to perch once each. (I already don’t think they like me and like my brother more) but then my brother made a mistake and one escaped. I had to grab it quick cause if our dog but he was very scared and hit me. Did I lose my birds trust?
