Thought experiment

Reddit Animals

If you put some animals (both wild and domestic) on an island and left them there to roam free and we come back after a few years who would survive. In my opinion dogs would be the first to go. Although I love dogs they're too dependent on humans, it's true that stray/feral dogs can form packs and survive in the wild a regular dog like a golden retriever would get eaten by a lion instantly.

Birding Shanghai in October 2023

10,000 Birds

I am sure none of you wondered why my Shanghai post for September was already published on the 28th. However, I will explain the reason to you anyway. I just pressed the wrong button when working on the post on September 28 (feel free to insert your own joke about premature something here). Of course, that means that the birds I saw on September 30 are now somewhere in blogpost limbo, not having appeared in the September post but also not legitimately belonging in the October one.

A Predictable Retraction

10,000 Birds

Very early in the year, I wrote a post on this blog about what I thought was a strong contender for BOTY (Bird of the Year) here in Trinidad & Tobago. It was on one of my nemesis birds, one which I have eventually gone on to see and hear several times since. Throughout the year, however, I have been waiting for a bird to steal the spotlight – and some weeks ago, it happened.

Wild bunnies in my yard

Reddit Animals

A few years back they tore down the school across from my house. It grew up into a nice big field of overgrown grass. Now they're building new houses on that block and the heavy equipment has surely scared away the animals living in that space. My yard is across the street and is fenced and contains several bushes and sheds. I now have wild rabbits.

THE Apex Predator

If one of every predator in the world today was to take part in an ancient Roman Coliseum type fight to the death - which would be last animal standing and thereby the “apex predator of the world”?

Found apple in winter cat shelter?

Reddit Animals

I'm hoping there's some animal experts here! I found a full intact apple today hidden in my winter cat shelter. My neighbours grow crab apples and it looks like a creature had hidden its snack in the shelter. I was wondering what animal I have sleeping there. I was thinking a raccoon but then read that they don't store food? Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I'm super curious!

Can animals change behaviour depending on the human?

Reddit Animals

Hi everyone. Me (F) and my boyfriend have two beautiful and sweet prairie dogs, a boy and a girl who are about one year old. The wired thing is that they change behaviour based on who they are with. When I am alone with them they sleep all the time and barely make any noise when they move or play but when they are with my boyfriend they get crazy, I’m talking biting the cage bars all day long (which trust me it’s a really loud noise not not mention dangerous for them) and never ever sleeping.

Friend, neighbors, and neglected dogs.

Reddit Animals

So my friends have 3 dogs in a small home but with a good sized backyard. They love there dogs and are amazing owners. A few days ago a stray showed up and they took him in. The plan was to keep him but they ended up finding his owners and giving him back was very emotional. Since then he has returned to their house daily. Apparently the owners have multiple dogs and let them roam around the neighborhood wherever they want.
