Nature is scary thread

They look like a tight-knit group but the chain is only as strong as it's weakest lynx

 

Mount Etna erupting in Sicily this week.

Only so much room in my nightmares. Now I'm momentarily seeing this shithead whenever I glance into my rearview mirror. Better be a tmb gofundme for my family the next time a shoebill gets posted here.

 

Fuck it let's start a tmb gofundme to make shoebills extinct

 

Awesome

 

Pound for pound: Lynx, Honey Badger, or Wolverine?

 

Cat>>>

 

go cat

 

Goo Goo G’Joob

 

wtf happens when you let go

 

So smart

 

This is an old one but yeah it's a bit jarring seeing an animal this smart.

 

They aren’t called Quaker Whales

 

Orcas are the best animals on earth. A pod in Argentina has figured out how to hunt “on land”. No other orcas in the world do this. They’re so incredibly smart

This feels like one of them Noah get the boat situations.

 

Being an apex predator and being the smartest thing in the ocean seems a little unfair

 

First-degree birder

Seriously tho, this is kinda crazy.

 

I don't know if I've ever rooted for an alligator or crocodile... maybe against a snake

Fucking assholes can't even chew.

 

Hippos are the undisputed dickheads in the animal planet. Fucking herbivores that occasionally eat meat but mostly kill anything just for fun.

 

From the neck up basically Herbivorous Rex.

 

The birds have discovered how to do a Voltron. We are fucked

 

Farmers often shoot wild animals that attack their livestock. But Paulson said he was able to put the lynx in a dog kennel before relocating it "a bit further out in the bush."

The lynx was so skinny that Paulson and his family left the two dead chickens with the animal, after it was relocated.

The dead chickens — named Freda and Birdie — will be missed by Paulson's children — Kickan, 6, and Charlie, 9 — who have named the lynx Tuffnut.

good for the farmer

 

Appreciate the follow up. I've thought a lot about this vid. You answered one question, did he kill it. The other is how did he trap it that he could get his hands on his neck like that.

 

I believe the story said the hungry lynx was so intent on eating its chicken that it wouldn't turn towards the farmer but would only growl at him. I do something similar when I get takeout from Popeyes

 

This is a good reminder that Nature isn't just tooth and claw scary but will mess with your mind too

 

Lots of inversion here so we see this Fata Morgana all the time with mountains in the distance.

I still find it amazing some animals can fly.

 

Had this on my bank with that big gator I posted before.

 

That’s five minutes from my house.

 

I was posting on the way to the airport. We’re in LOL.

 

This happens frequently here in Rapid City, especially during the winter. Can see the Badlands right around sunset from town (~40 ish miles away)

 

Another volcano erupted this week, this time in Iceland, 20 miles from the capital Reykjavik. There has not been an eruption on this peninsula in 800 years.
