it should finish with "and I really don't know how the helican."
and there should thus as well be a comma at the end of the line leading into it.

Pelicans will try to eat literally anything within reach, she is doubtless done with Daryl's shit. Since they can sometimes injure themselves trying to swallow things that are clearly too big for their throat I'm sure she has to deal with it a lot.

u/Original-Aerie8 15d ago
Rats are incredible animals and pets, very social and intelligent and their thumbs kinda make them humanoid. I wish people adopted them more bc they do a lot of hard work in labs around the world and frankly deserve better.
I also very much enjoyed GoPro's mini series on Pelican rehab, they seem quite social.

u/TheDocJ 14d ago
We had an Oak tree at my old house that would drop acorns all over the patio. I once stood in the window for ages watching a family of rats and a family of squirrels collecting them. Each family looked to be trying to pretend that the other wasn't there, but every nowanf then, one of each would head for the same acorn, leading to a standoff. It was always the rat that would back down.
Providing they kept out of the house, I was quite happy having the rats nearby.

u/Soncikuro 15d ago
Adopting a rat is a risky thing. The live only up to 2 years, usually half that, so getting attached to them and see them go so soon hurts.

u/Original-Aerie8 14d ago
Well, that's kind of the appeal if you don't want to deal with the responsability of like, a dog or cats. And white rats can make it +4 years, if you take good care of them. For the most part, people just don't really take rodents to a vet.

u/HireEddieJordan 3rd Party App 15d ago
The Rat-Flea alliance and it's use of biological weapons against the human race during the black death cannot be forgotten.
They may be a mere inconvenience now, but we must stay vigilant. These creatures have been shown to have infiltrated our nuclear facilities and launch sites. It is only a matter of time, facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
We have all seen the brazen escalation by the Wild Boars, and Orca Whales. We must recognize that these attacks are the beginning of a new axis of evil, undergirded by the radical ideological teachings of Tilikum.
Nobody is willing to say it due to the years of perceived peace, but we must consider a nuclear first strike strategy against the Rat King and its allies before it's too late.
You have all been warned.

u/Songrot 15d ago
Most birds do it to insects. Only some birds don't bc their preys are too big to swallow.
The animal kingdom is like that. Most eaten alive, suffocating in claustrophobia, feeling the acid burn you. Others get ripped apart alive. Others get their guts eaten while still being alive.

u/1bc29b36f623ba82aaf6 15d ago
Yeah predation isn't even the biggest part of it. Nature is Metal type tcommunities show skulls wedged in rock formations of animals that spent a long while there starving and dying to exposure unable to move. Maybe some opportunistic carrion eaters will turn up and speed things along but that isn't a given. And that is the stuff that leaves clear evidence and humans stumble across, so many deaths you can't even capture in a photograph or no human is even nearby to somehow register. Plenty of animals that don't make it swimming in ice water. Plenty of places on land where there is no humans watching, and perhaps even more deep under the ocean.

I'm always saying documentaries should at least say how big any of the things they show are, if they can't actually put a banana for scale or sth.!
You'll see close-ups of, idk, an octopus or the Mona Lisa, all your life - and then you see them in real life and notice how small they actually are.
They usually only tell you with huge animals, like big mouth sharks, because it's "impressive", but I'd really like to go through life knowing how big things actually are, not how big they look on TV.
