Why don’t animals produce milk their whole lives, not just when they give birth. It seems like a nutritious and easy way to feed the population. Mothers seem to produce milk only during birth period not because they had an lifestyle changes. (I could be wrong) So an animal doesn’t lactate because of lifestyle changes but because it knows it needs to feed the baby why haven’t animals adapted to always make milk.

I saw a raven in my garden today. In London. I’ve literally never seen one anywhere other than the Tower of London.

It was huge and destroying the suet filled coconut shell I put out for the normal birds. Wish I’d got a picture.

Is this more normal than I think? Has anyone seen them just moseying around in back gardens?

Do you have any examples of animals breaking ties with other family members or pack members? In humans there are justifiable reasons for that, but are there occasions in nature that they animals give valid reasons to being broken apart from (hurt other pack members for example) and are consequently cast away from the pack?

This just happened and idk if I should be concerned or its normal, I tried looking it up online and nothing came up. So my garden has a lot of sparrows,they're basically in every tree and on the ground a lot and it was very hot so my mother made me hose the dog down (the dog loves this) and well I accidentally hit one of the sparrows (it was very close to where the dog was) and now it's gone under a bench and is shaking and not really moving, it's also gone very fluffy, is it normal will it be OK? I feel really guilty over it and I'm scared I've hurt it and killed it

My daughter found a nest of baby birds. All the babies had been torn up, except for one. She decided to take care of it. When she initially found the bird, it had few feathers and mostly quills. We discovered that some towels and a small space heater could keep the baby warm, and water mixed with dry dog food could be fed to it. I also read that spraying water on the feathers is beneficial, so we did that. The bird now semi flys, feeds, drinks, and knows how to bathe itself. We practiced perching by allowing the bird to sit on our fingers. It has a lot of feathers, but is still missing some. When can it be released back into the wild? The bird knows we are the feeders and knows our voices, but I don't think it is bonded to us. It will sit on our fingers, but it does take a little coaxing to get the bird on.

I found a fledgling.A cat tried to eat it but I was able to save it. The parents are nearby, and I want to let him go,but since we have stray cats around that are fixed I don’t know what to do.

I saw a video of an ape reacting to someone drawing a smiling stickman. That made me wonder if the ape recognized that this was supposed to be a man smiling. Then I wondered if Apes or other animals like that can recognize what drawings represent, and maybe even if they could recognize a drawing of themselves? Internet won't give me a satisfying answer... Just something about why Human as a species likes drawings.

Happened in my town here in Newfoundland https://newfoundlandbuzz.ca/moose-conception-bay-south-mcdonalds/ 45 mins ago. Don't know what they got.

This is a school project

I guess video was taken a few days ago but I just saw it. It’s one of my neighbors and someone I go to school with. It was a video of him throwing a already bleeding turtle into a massive bonfire and letting the poor thing burn. I’m thinking about reporting this but I don’t know how or who to go to. Please help. This is really disturbing.

I just saw a youtube shorts video about tigers and i thought some of you may also want to see it!

I've heard this animal sound throughout many games but never figured it out what animal is it. If anyone knows please tell me.
At least I think it's a bird sound.

I was at QFC yesterday (Northgate/Roosevelt Way). I was really surprised to see two individuals shopping along with their large dogs.

I have seen from time to time, someone bring in a tiny dog and place a towel under them, then place them in the shopping cart. That kinda bothers me, too.

But both dogs were big and one woman looked at me, like 'what in the heck were they thinking'? 'Bringing their dog into the store'?

What is your opinion?

I was getting my sprinklers set up, and when I opened up the pump box in the ground I used a rock to clear some debris. Well, there was a spotted salamander in there and I accidentally hit his tail. He had some blood come out, but it almost immediately stopped bleeding, although the outside blood remained.

What is their capacity to heal? I feel pretty bad. Is there anything I should do to help him or will he be “fine?” Thanks, and pardon any ignorance.

I moved to an area with a small nature area that is for wildlife behind my backyard (about 1/3 acre with a small pond, trees, bushes, etc) and recently a rabbit has started coming into my backyard to snack on grass. I’ve seen it on my walk while I was on the path, and it ran from me but I passed by it and looked right at it and greeted it by saying “hi bunny” in a sweet voice and it didn’t run. I passed back by it a few times and did the same, though it was frozen it did not run or move after I had walked off.

We’ve had a few interactions since, each time I will greet it and say hello and it seems less skittish with time, this past time even hopping out from under my porch to the middle of the yard after I spotted it. I’ve put out some snacks and such for it as well, but want it to actually be comfortable enough to not run off. How can I go about building trust, if at all?

Guys, I need immediate help and I have no idea who to ask. I was mowing the lawn, and I accidentally cut a slow worm's nose. It's eyes and mouth are still intact as far as I know, its the tip of it's head that's injured. If needed I can provde a picture, but anyway. I need to know how to help it. I pulled out an old fish tank and set up some sort of decoration we had for out fish so it can hide inside, and I put some of the mowed grass on the bottom so it's not just glass. I set up a bowl with a low edge for water and put in some earth worms since google said apparently they eat those, and they were easiest to find. But now I have no idea if it'll survive, or if there's anything I can even do to help (I'm a big fan of snakes and reptiles so I don't want to just leave it). Anyway, is there anyone that knows how to help with this? Also, should the tank be open or closed, and should I leave it in the sun or put it in the shade? If the temperature's too high they can overheat, and I'm not sure how hot it'll even be today

I put it in a draw but the next morning it was gone. Im thinking echidna maybe? No I wasn’t high.
