Why Are Skunks Important?

Beneficial chain reaction. Wolves seem to be a crucial part of the entire ecosystem, mainly because they keep the deer population in check. Deer overgrazing is responsible for systemic environmental damage.

This is truly incredible.

We could conceivably had MAMMOTHS and wild horses and giant ground sloths and more cool shit but… mass extinction and such

The saber toothed cats sound cool but scare me. Not a fast runner over here.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

Blister Beetles: Pretty colors, serious powers

🌿🐞 Did you know about Nuttall’s Blister Beetles?

Endangered Species Highlight: The Water Cone Wizard

hii i'm so fascinated with the anthro dog worldbuilding and had a question about it !!! if domesticated canines exist in the world, do undomesticated canines (wolves, foxes, coyotes, maned wolves, etc) also exist? if so, what role do they play in society? ^_^

Domestic dogs are the only anthropomorphic species, they exist in place of humans.

Wild canines exist, but they're just regular wolves, foxes, coyotes and so on. Anthro dogs view them the same way humans view apes and other primates. They recognize that wolves are superficially similar to them in some uncanny ways, but have no gualms about hunting them. To a dog living in the pre-Darwin era, a wolf isn't a distant relative, it's a wild beast that will eat their livestock.

Actual pet dogs are entirely absent.

Other domesticated animals exist as normal. Anthro dogs keep cats as pets, raise chickens and ride horses.

It was always going to end this way

I like The Wayne Family Adventures. It's very wholesome and emotional. Maybe it's because I can relate more to those depictions of overcoming mental struggles and committing shenanigans. It's like finding a cozy and good fanfic, except it's endorsed!!!

It's awesome that there's such a broad amount of DC content for all sorts of tastes. It makes me feel a bit sad when people dunk on it, because it's not what they personally like. That's valid! But that doesn't mean it's shit! It's got no value for one person, but for another person, it's got a lot. And that's totally alright! It's like bringing more cake to a party. Ain't nothing bad about more cake. Everyone gets to eat what they like.

hey you wanna know my controversial take

i kinda like the for you page for when i’ve finished reading my dash. i go there to graze in foreign fields, and i bring back morsels to share with my friends. sometimes i like one of the things i find so much i just connect it to my usual fields. it’s good for the ecosystem, is what i’m saying.

4. Water buffalo in Eastern Europe Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) were once a familiar sight in many communities across Eastern Europe. However, political and industrial upheavals in the 1900s wiped out both the natural and domestic populations of this species. Water buffaloes are adapted to wet areas and play a crucial role in creating biodiversity and abundance. They feed throughout marshes, and their large bodies create pools and puddles that provide homes for many insects, amphibians, and fish. They are also essential seed dispersers, planting over 200 species of vegetation through their hair or droppings.

In mid-May 2021, officials released 17 water buffaloes onto the 3,500-hectare Ermakov Island on the Danube, and the number quickly rose to 18 as one of the buffaloes was pregnant. The reintroduction of this species has had a significant impact, as the entire Danube Delta quickly began thriving with life. The water buffalo's presence restored balance to the ecosystem and created new habitats for a variety of species, making them a valuable addition to the area's biodiversity
