    "Is that common?" Yes. A lot of zoos will raise baby cheetahs along side a puppy. They become best friends and the cheetah will pick up on some of the dogs mannerisms making them more docile and easier to keep in captivity. Before doing this, cheetahs in captivity would be extremely depressed, so having a friend to play with does wonders for their mental health too.

      Had 2 friends while I was in school. 1, his family had some of everything at their house from goats to peacocks.
      At one point they had 2 baby lions.... actually lions, they were pretty chill until they were about a year old.....
      The other friend had a a pair of cheetahs that were deemed untrainable by a local magician. They lived outside in double walled chain link. My friends dad was the only one who could feed them, and would go into the cage one layer at a time locking the first door behind him.

      They're also a nightmare for rehabers because by the time they recover from injuries, they're dang near domesticated and *can't* be returned to the wild. All of this makes me wonder if the cheetah we know today isn't really a "wild" animal but the descendants of domesticated Egyptian pets.

      Ouch. I had multiple small kidney stones (small gravel size) and passing three was enough for me to chug lemonade like it was the only thirst quenching liquid left on earth. Lemonade dissolves them, if a doctor didn’t tell you that. It’s handy to have that knowledge in case it happens again. 😭

      The female hyenas are the lucky ones. The life of a male hyena is no better and in many ways worse. The lowest ranking female hyena is higher on the social hierarchy than the number one male hyena. Among spotted hyenas the ladies rule and males are lucky to get the table scraps left behind.

    Sloths are also painfully stupid. Some of them have been known to mistake one of their own arms for branches, so when they're moving through the trees they'll grab their own arm, and then let go of the actual tree branch; at which point they plummet to their death.

    Just a reminder, the selective pressures that work on variations in an organism really only apply up to breeding age. After breeding age any traits that would benefit an older individual really aren't selected for to pass on to new generations. That's why our bodies tend to fall apart as we get older as well. Genes that prevent bad backs when you're 50 for example never get selected for from a reproductive standpoint.

    So, that theory about humans hunting the megafauna to extinction has a lot of holes. The competing theory is that they were wiped out during the comet impacts at the end of the Younger dryas. There are mammoth carcasses that have been recovered that have dislocated hips and broken legs as if they were hit by a shockwave, or wall of water. The supposed mass graves were likely what's called a "bloat and float". They are common in big floods, the carcasses float in the rushing water and all settle in a depression in the land. This creates a "graveyard".

    Octopus usually don’t live more than 5 or so years for most species. It’s actually probably the best example of a species being screwed over by evolution.
    I don’t remember the exact source for this, but there is some evidence that octopus were such successful predators that overpredation would occur if they didn’t pass away, leading to starvation. So legit octopus were so good at existing that they overpopulated and starved out until they evolved to have shorter lifespans

    These 'defects' draw mates because they also draw predators. Being of mating age while also having some trait that makes survival harder is basically just advertising that they are tough enough to get by anyway so they have good genes.
