I know this seems obvious, but I’m hoping to go into either animal caretaking or environmental conservation for wildlife. I have a feeling ai can’t take either of this but my parents are pressuring me that careers with animals aren’t good enough income wise for this economy. Will they likely go up in wages since ai can’t take those?

I have calibrated the quiz quite a bit lately. So do let me know if there is additional info you want or annoyances or any suggestion, let me know in the comments. It is really appreciated!!

Answer:North American Beaver

Apparently only males migrate to Oregon, and the females and pups stay year-round in California. So how did this guy get in here? Do pups or moms sometimes acidently migrate with the group? I find it impossible to believe it’s not a baby.

Today my sister bought me this animal fur from a thrift shop for 6€ and we aren't sure what animal it belongs to, our best guess has been pine martens. We live in Estonia so the fur is likely from here or some other eastern European country.

Sardines move in synchronized schools, adjusting direction and spacing to avoid predators as a single organism-like mass. That means fish can behave like a living machine when they move together.

Around the 20th of July, the locals in Tana, northern Norway were met with an unusual sight, a walrus just chilling by the road. While walruses are technicaly native to Norway, around Svalbard, its uncommon for them to come to mainland Norway, but there are several instances of that happening, like Freja. Now this walrus was also given a name, Halvdan, due to it missing a part of its right tusk.

However like with Freja, this story doesn't have a happy ending. The walrus had dissapeared, and most believed that it had returned to the sea again. However a hiker that was walking in the woods saw a strange pattern on the grass, almost as if something had been dragged across it. So he followed it and found the walrus dead, 9km from the sea, by a small river. The death was natural, as there weren't any wounds on the carcass.

Its unknown what had happened, but its believed the walrus was sick before it even arrived to Norway. In many social animals, sick or unhealthy individuals will often stray from the group, and its possible this walrus was also doing the same. However how it ended up in Tana is unknown, as its really far away from its natural range. But then comes the question, why the walrus moved further into the forest instead of to the sea? As for now, the carcass will stay in the same spot, and that huge body will give a lot of food for the scavengers as well as nutrients to the soil

Is there a animal that hasn't gone instinct yet? Like a base species we know is still living since as far as we can track history?

My mother lives in a detached apartment on my property. She called me to come by and listen to this sound coming from her wall behind a toilet and shower. I'm hoping someone here can identify it because I've made zero progress guessing animals on YouTube.

We live in North West Florida, the sound was recorded at 6:50 pm local time tonight.

Met a young zonkey today

​

Yet they live in groups with members of their own species. But how do they distinguish their own kind?

do they really live like

"oh yeah you re same specie as me lets hang around together " ?

Even though they don’t know what they look like.

mystery...

I am curious about the biological and evolutionary mechanisms behind the human fear of spiders from an evolutionary standpoint.

Location: Chile, Metropolitan region (Aguas de Ramón Natural Park)

I don't know if it's Pachylus paessleri or chilensis (Probably chilensis)

Most people know Chile as being completely different in fauna and flora from its neighbors even while having portions of the country in the tropics. This is entirely due to the Andes limiting amazonian type animals from crossing. This has lead to chile having some of the highest concentrations of unique and endemic species anywhere on the planet which should be protected at all costs.

That being said tho as a chilean myself it does kinda bother me that chile doesn't have as many exotic animals as our neighbors apart from us having a few parrot species and other weird megafauna like rheas, so I took it upon myself to invent some in a hypothetical chile where animals where able to cross

First the lack of monkeys in chile has always been my focal point so here are my creations:

1. Chilean marmoset - very similar to the black tailed marmoset of the chaco and cerrado areas of Brazil and northern southern cone, in chile it lives in the dry Mediterranean scrubland of central chile and the northern river valleys maintaining a similar diet of tree sap insects fruits etc. It is a tad bigger and more cold tolerant finding refuge in tree hollows and huddling together during the winter for warmth

2. Southern capuchin - a population of argentine yungas capuchins that established here and have adapted to the foothill forests of central chile. They have denser fur and higher metabolism ratw and bigger overall than a regular black capped capuchin. They have similar adaptations to the marmoset sleeping together in groups for warmth, similar adaptations to cold monkeys such as thicker skin on feet and hands, etc.

3. (Really big stretch) austral howler monkey - nobody has a clue how they even got here but they live in the southern forest & rainforests of chile just munchin leafs. Most southern monkeys on the planet, chunky extremely dense fur which is somewhat hydrophobic makes 0 sense naturally but still a interesting idea

4. Coati - Chile being the only country in latin america to not have coatis is awful so to accompany the actual real life populations of introduced coatis on the juan Fernandez archipelago they are also native from the north to south

5. Chilean mountain tucan - very similar to the mountain tucans of bolivia and peru it managed to fly over the altiplano (no small feat) and became its own lineage here establishing in forests throughout Chile. More drought and arid tolerant than its relatives it thrives here eating on fruits seeds insects etc.

6. Southern tapir - again another animal our neighbors have but we dont are tapirs. These are found in the forests of southern chile compared to its relatives again has denser fur larger on average and juveniles are eaten by pumas.

7. Jaguars - Jaguars are very adaptable animals and Chile in its pre history did actually use to have Jaguars while it is a debated subject irl as to where their range was here I find the idea of having a population plausible, there is mega fauna suitable for them to eat less of course than where they are currently found like argentina, they already cohabit the andes with pumas in areas like the yungas so there isn't exactly a niche issue here.

In my very unprofessional opinion I find the reintroduction of jaguars to be the most realistic idea. What do you guys think?
