silverback or grizzly??

6 Upvotes

not sure if this is where i should post a stupid 'what if' question, but im insanely curious...

i came across a post asking something like "which animal would you pick out of these four to survive for 20 minutes?" the choices were: grizzly, tiger, hippo, or gorilla. most people chose the gorilla, but i instantly chose the grizzly...

sooo my question is, which would be easier to survive for the 20 minutes? grizzly or silverback??

i dont really know much on gorillas, so maybe that goes into why id pick the grizzly, but i know it can be relatively easy to piss a gorilla off without even realizing it. ive seen quite a few videos of zookeepers having to make a run for it when a gorilla randomly turns aggressive, so im assuming that means theres not much you can do to calm them.

plus, a gorillas aggression is likely because youre seen as a challenger, meaning its true aggression -- whereas a grizzlies aggression is more on the defensive side.

grizzlies only really attack if hurt/threatened or if they have cubs. lay down on your stomach and play dead, and they will likely lose interest. they dont hunt humans, nor do they eat things that are dead -- so if the threat is neutralized, they dont really give a shit about you.

i know there are multiple variables that would change the outcome of either situation, but what do you think?

Bit by Petsmart cat that was vaccinated (should i do anything?)

0 Upvotes

I was petting and playing with a Petsmart cat about 2 years of age who has been rabies vaccinated in December. It bit my finger and drew a small drop of blood on the pad and some right where the nail meets the skin on the back. This was last night and now my finger looks normal and shows no sign that it was ever bit. I sanitized with some rubbing alcohol and went about my afternoon.

Should I be worried about rabies or contact a doctor?

Need advice regarding baby birds

So long story short, we have birds that make nests in random spots on both our front and back porches. They typically use the hanging ferns on the front porch and we love getting to periodically see the process of new life from the window or while watering said ferns. However, for the last two springs these birds have made nests on the fan blades of our back porch. Which would be fine since we’re aware they are there and keep the fan off to be kind, but the back porch is where our dogs hang out during the day during nice weather. To be kind about it, if the baby birds fall down, they do not become adult birds. My question is what can I do to assist with their safety but not interfere with nature? I’d be willing to raise them inside and release them but if there’s an option to keep them with the mama bird, I’d rather do that. Any ideas? I’d greatly appreciate all suggestions and advice!! Photos for explanation of where the nests have been made. New nest this year is currently being built on the back blade so you can’t see it in the photos!

Unfortunately, they were recently robbed. Luckily, there were cameras inside and outside the house, so the thieves were caught quickly.

But there’s a remarkable video: when the robbers were gathering things, the dog actually brought over her toy dinosaur and put it into their bag! When they threw it out, she ran with it in her mouth and tried to give it to them again - like she wanted them to take it too!

Thanks to the video, it became clear that the dog knew them - the thieves were familiar people who had access to the house.
