Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs

im-sherlocked-in-my-mindpalace

jesus that is good to know.

Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.

So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.

So what’d they do?
They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!


The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great

this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.

so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.

There's a lesson here

@is-the-snake-video-cute

What the hell? Is this normal? Is the snake ok?

is-the-snake-video-cute

Thanks for tagging me!

So, this isn't good, and it's not normal, but this is something that can happen in even healthy snakes, with a few big qualifiers. This only really happens on ophiophagus (snake-eating) snakes, like this kingsnake, and it happens because they think they smell food and wind up biting themselves. This snake happened to bite at just the right angle to swallow their tail, and as they kept going, any pain they felt was dismissed as being from their "prey" biting them.

This snake is probably okay. As you can see in the video, they let go as soon as some hand sanitizer got in their mouth - snakes hate the smell and taste of the stuff.

Situations like this are very rare. This snake's keeper did the right thing - it looks like they brought them to to the vet based on the table, and some hand sanitizer got them to let go with no issues.

Update 3/14/2023: luckily it hasn't gotten past "introduced" but the fact it's even on the table??? Horrifying, really.

It was never about protecting the children or upward mobility via capitalism.

Yall do realize that eliminating public schools is literally exactly and precisely the OPPOSITE of what fascists did?

nonenosome2

Y'all also realize that even without a federal Department of Education, individual states can still have public education?

beardedmrbean

Please disband the DOE. It was formed in 1979, we had all kinds of public schools before then, just ask your parents or grandparents.

Fed needs to be kicked out of as many corners of our lives as possible, too much overreach.

Get rid of the federal student loan program while they're at it, let the colleges use their endowments to pay that and then they can be liable for the outcome when they look at what programs they have that will actually result in a graduate that can pay back the money they borrowed.

brazenautomaton

“it is so horrifying that someone wrote down the sentence ‘the Department of Education shall terminate,’ even if nobody voted on it or debated for it or did anything past writing the sentence down. this is definitely fascism. and capitalism. which are words that have very clear definitions and are not at all meaningless snarls I use to mentally blob together everything that makes me upset as if it was a unified movement I am heroic for standing up to”
