Lady bug broke into my house .

Hello everybody, I know this sounds ridiculous but a ladybug broke into my house. I found it next to my bed and I am not a ladybug lover, so I hit it with my shoe and it’s no longer alive I don’t want any more ladybugs in my house. Will more lady bugs come back?!? Please insect lovers reply!!! 😊

Chimps Exterminating Other Troops

I remember reading that chimps are the only other animal that will proactively attack and exterminate other troops, even without resource complaints. Is that true?

Can I take an EMU?

Yeah that’s it. Thoughts on a human vs emu in a Mano Y Mano style fight? Both locked in a room until one is declared victor?

My strategy, hold the neck and just leg kick it repeatedly. I mean LEG KICK, LEG KICK, etc etc. Ik ground birds bones aren’t all hollow like flying birds are, but I’m pretty sure repeated shin kicks would take it out of action.

Thoughts?

Can somebody help me maybe figure out what animal this was?

Many years ago, me, my sister and three of my cousins where out playing outside my grandmas house on a big yard. That’s when all of a sudden, this animal walked by. It had the body of a deer and the head of a dog (my sister remembers it a bit differently but i rember that the head looked like a bulldogs). Does anybody know what animal this could be? Cause me, My sister and one of my cousins remembers it. Meanwhile the other two doesn’t. Are there any animals that fit this description? If so what is the name of it?

Why are Sea creatures so much less aggressive than land creatures?

This might be a poorly worded question, but I don't know how else to word it. I've always wondered why it seems that land creatures are typically more aggressive to things than sea creatures. I once heard that sea creatures are more friendly to humans because they're unfamiliar to them which makes sense, but if a land creature see something unknown to them they either run away or fight it (fight or flight). Why don't sea creatures do the same? I see so many videos of sea creatures being so chill with humans than I have never seen with any non domesticated land creature. I also feel like Sea creatures seem to be more curious, but I am not the most knowledgeable on the topic. I am going for a major in general biology, but I don't know as much as some people about this topic. I also do know that sea creatures have their share of aggressiveness, and some of their actions towards each other seem very brutal. I'm specifically curious about their curious/non aggressive interactions with humans, and why land creatures don't seem to have similar responses.

I saw a roadrunner in my apartment complex

I was feeding some stray cats when I saw this very unique looking bird that I have never seen at all anywhere near where I live (Conroe tx), it looked like a little roadrunner but I've never seen any roadrunners irl especially not inside my apartment complex. Again, I live in Conroe Texas suburban area, is this normal??

Apartment neighbor moved and left their dog

really hope I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure (Title) if this is the case wouldn’t this be animal cruelty and the management of apartment complex file a police report or what ever it details. Once they find out of confirm that they in fact move and left the sweet dog. Dog has been out side since 11am yesterday. I was worried it might get ran over so I put a leash and collar on her. I planned to keep an eye on her until owner returned maybe something happened it just bad luck. Well her we are next morning and no owner I put not on there door when dog could be found.

Any suggestions on what I should or can do I Already have two dogs or I would keep her!

Found giant african millipede in my garden

For context i live in the uk, so i have no idea how it got here but i almost had a heart attack this morning when i saw it. Ive managed to trap it in a cardboard box, but i have no idea what to do with it. Its so big, if i kill it i wouldn't know what to do with its corpse, but its freaking me tf out and im scared to go near it. What am i supposed to do?
