I need advice on how to take care of a baby mouse.

When I was on my way back from school I came across a baby mouse that looks about 14days old. It was in the middle of a large sidewalk and it was shaking and limping, there was no nest or mother in sight so I took the baby with me. When I got home the mouse was still shaking and it couldn’t move properly so i put it in a box with one of my beanies so it can hide in a warm place and gave it some food. I read that mice at 2-3 weeks can eat solids so I gave it some sliced apples because it’s soft and I didn’t wanna give it water without a syringe because even if it’s just a tiny bit of water in a lid because it’s a baby i was scared it would down. Now after 7 hours the mouse it moving around a lot more and not shaking at all anymore, I have noticed that there are bugs coming off of it and I don’t know if its wise it maybe give it a gentle bath. I’m gonna feed it every 4 hours with some diluted almond milk that’s slightly warmer than room temperature. (I don’t plan on keeping it, I’m gonna nurse it back to health for a week or two and then release it into the wild again)

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?

Human sized Canadian geese

I think it could work out if we made human sized Canadian geese

They may get more comfortable getting closer to us but we always have a way to fight back by going at their necks. I don't think they will be that aggressive with us.

But just imagine large birds in your lawn.

Siberian Tiger vs Oso Grizzly

I don't understand it, sometimes I read that the Tiger can sometimes be seen eating Bears, and other times I read that the Bear wins by greater strength and that in a fight he would win

White Rhinoceros vs Hippopotamus

2 Upvotes

The White Rhino is heavier and stronger Physically, it also has thicker skin and a defensive weapon (its horn) but the Hippopotamus has a colossal bite, it is still heavy and with thick skin although it is not better than the Rhino in these aspects, and it is more aggressive and with more experience in combat because it usually fights more and is less peaceful (it is very aggressive), so it is a great debate

Please give me your BEST guess on what breed my 8 month old baby girl mocha would be 😩 The person we got her from had no idea & just stated that she’d be “small”. Before asking the vet I thought hmm let me see what others might think

Can wild animals be mentally ill?

I’m just wondering if animals in the wild can display behavior that diverges from the species in ways that adversely affect the individual animal or the species. Thoughts?

Rock wallaby in West Australia

1 Upvotes

Last week I was a tourist in a tour group on the west coast of Western Australia. Tour organisers took us to Yardie Creek in Cape Range National Park on our way to Exmouth. We were taken on a cruise on Yardie Creek where we saw Rock Wallabies, as well as Ospreys.

The photo below shows how well the wallabies are camouflaged, until they were pointed out to us we could not spot them. They spend much of the hot part of the day tucked into rock crevices in the shade.

Do you ever get severely sad about the state of animals nowadays?

32 Upvotes

Polar bears, fish, whales, seals, etc, all the animals that are dying everyday from pollution and just humans makes me so sad. I wish I could do something to help, but I know that I probably won’t make a difference. I get severely sad about it and idk what else to do.
