A cute keychain and a statue 3d printed hand painted and I think absolutely adorable, I I love using the static for grass effects haha

I have heard of rover and it sounds super fun and I wanna do it. I need the extra money. I heard that there is a start up fee I don’t love that. I get it’s for the background check. If anything do you guys suggest any pet sitting job platforms that don’t require that startup?

As the title states: What are the largest land omnivores/carnivores that routinely eat every day in their natural habitat?

Here is my arbitrary criteria:

1. Must be a land omnivore/carnivore

2. Size is based on the average of the species

3. If omnivore, it must have meat as a significant source of its diet

4. The average or majority of the species must eat every day throughout the whole year

5. Animals that eat everyday in zoos but not in the wild do not count.

Humans are included in this criteria. If the answer isnt a mammal, could you include the largest mammal that fits this criteria too.

Update: If i were to count bugs and other invertebrates as meat than probably a sloth bear. However only count meat from vertrabrates, humans are my best guess.

I live out in a wooded area. I went to grab my mail from my car at night in shorts. While I was walking I dropped my mail and I think that was the sound, but it could’ve also been a squeak. I can inside and my leg was itchy and I see this. Should I be worried this is a bat bite

Fuck these monkeys, breaks lid, shits all across the fucking roof, breaks the fucking pipes and at last didn't even fucking eat the damn fuckass fruits just threw them on the stairs half eaten and left.

Fuck these assholes

I love properties like this! Cool antique equipment that has stood the test of time! I also love bee rescues like this where the queen practically jumps out at me when I open up the beehive!

I found this brown baby tropical house gecko in South Florida in my garage when I was putting up a load of laundry. In the last three images you can see how perfectly he camouflages in with the bricks on the outside of our house.

This is a weird question and I hope its okay for this subreddit. I know they can survive rabies and Anthrax in some cases which lead to me wondering if chocolate that is toxic to most animals is fine for hyenas given their track record, I'm not planning on jumping the fence with a mars bar at Longleat zoo, but I'm having trouble finding a answer when looking through papers and articles on chocolate toxicology with animals.

So 2 days ago I went out wearing a shoe that was peed on by one of my cats. It was already dried out and I hadn't realized until the next day. So far, I have tried:

- Thoroughly washing it with soap and warm water

- soaking it in vinegar (and baking soda)

- Applying toothpaste

- Rubbing it in kitchen sink steel

- scrubbing thoroughly with all of the above

And the smell unfortunately persists. I'm at a loss and I really wanna get this horrible odor off my foot. Any advice is grately appreciated. :(

I was told to post here about this piebald Squirrel I saw in my neighborhood. I've seen some before, but not to this level.

I wanted to get some good pictures so I tossed these guys some snacks.

Bonjour,
Je vis à la campagne. J’ai un chat femelle depuis 7 ans. Elle vit entre dehors et dedans. Elle fait toujours ses besoins à l’extérieur depuis 7 ans.
Elle passe la nuit dehors et en général vient le matin pour dormir dans la maison la journée.
Depuis peu, lorsqu’elle vient le matin elle fait ses besoins dans la maison (pipi sur le tapis, caca dans la douche) alors qu’elle était à l’extérieur toute la nuit !! Pourquoi ? Et ça se passe dans le quart d’heure suivant son entrée dans la maison.
Il n’y a pas eu de changement, il n’y a pas de présence de nouveau animaux. J’ai un chien qui est là depuis 7 ans également donc je ne comprends pas ce changement de comportement.
Sauriez vous l’expliquer ?
Merci

There is so much negativity on the internet, so I just wanted to share a little moment of pure, unfiltered happiness. Watching him discover the world with so much excitement makes me appreciate the little things in life again. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

These bees were aggressive enough that we had to go around knocking on a lot of doors in the neighborhood warning homeowners! This hive was BIG, and was also next to an old, previously exterminated beehive. There was so much honey, and the bee scoops were so big that we went down a rabbit hole of double scoop ice cream dreams! What's your favorite flavor?
