the post the group is losing their shit over:

I mean I'm pretty sure the Russians? Did something similar and found that they sucked as working dogs.

I DO NOT GET the obsession with wanting wild canids for working dog crosses. You literally have an animal that was bred for thousands of years to do what you want and you think it will be MORE biddable by adding... the fucking opposite of that?

“I need someone to watch my children!”

“Okay, this kindly grandmother ran a daycare for twenty years, is bilingual, and also has a masters in early childhood education.”

“WOw she doesn’t sound badass at all, I have a much better idea!”

#part horse part dinosaur part snake all nightmare

one time my girlfriend found one of those catnip packets that come with new cat toys and dumped it on my cat except it was Italian seasoning and she seasoned my cat

He seemed cool with it to be honest

Why would italian seasoning come with a cat toy ??

it wasn’t, we’d coincidentally bought both a food item that came with the seasoning and new cat toys and the two became mixed up

no, that would have been great but unfortunately we immediately realized the error of our ways when we smelled my italian seasoned breadstick of a man

Catnip is edible for humans, anyway. People make catnip tea. I don’t know that it really does much of anything for people. Definitely doesn’t get you high.

loons’ legs are positioned so far back on their bodies that they are incapable of standing or walking on land

in fact one major cause of death is from them mistaking wet pavement for bodies of water and trying to land on it, causing them to be stranded and vulnerable because they can’t take flight or move beyond a weird scooting crawl

Is it possible if (somehow) someone encountered one in that situation to help it picking it up and hold it high in the air? Would it be able to take flight then?? Like if you just hold it up?

No—they have to have a sufficiently large watery runway to get up to speed for takeoff. If you find one away from water, you could take it to a rehabber since it may have been stranded for a while and starving or injured, but they’ve really got to be released on lakes, huge ponds, or wide, slow-moving rivers.

like look at this shit

Can confirm -- Loons are the weirdest creatures. When I was a Naturalist living at a Raptor Rehab center they took one in because it had "landed" in a hot parking lot. It stayed overnight and I was greeted at Lunch to, "DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE LOON IN OUR TUB???" and of course I was like, "...HELL YEAH!"

aw man I’d kill a man to see a loon in a tub :(

lest we all think poorly of loons, remember that they are water birds adapted for diving, at which they are extremely good:

and unlike penguins, they can still fly! 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

So: in Canada, there are many lakes. Loons can land in small lakes but they cannot take off from small lakes. This makes small lakes a loon valve, and at equilibrium they accumulate loons.

There is a job in canada for a guy who goes around to the loon trap lakes, gathers the stranded loons, and moves them to a takeoff-compatible body of water.

the loon harvester, the loonbus, the loon collector

I take it back, loons are an evolutionary mistake, because that’s a stupid as hell problem for a bird to have and stellar diving adaptations do not make up for Lake To Small Syndrome.

Me: I wish I was seeing more exotics this week

The scheduling gods: ok here’s a raccoon

Me: please no

I had this exact scenario yesterday

Me: I haven’t nursed exotic patient in a while, I miss that

Member of public: here, have this angry wild goose

Me: no not like that
