The Mother and daughter had a row and the daughter got out of the car only to be attacked by a Siberian Tiger and dragged off, Her Mother tried to rescue her only to be mauled to death by a second Tiger while the daughter has been left disabled a result..

Subscriber nudge+ Posted April 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2018 As for poaching, have you heard about the suggestion of rhino-robots that would mimic rhinos so that herd would accept it, and it would then monitor them from the inside and alert patrols about poachers. Far-fetched idea, but it looks badass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted April 22, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 22, 2018 that looks pretty amazing, and a good use of technology if it leads to protection of endangered species (I guess they could replicate for other animals that get poached, won't be long anyway if not). Suppose it's also just a more advanced, less subtle way of the chips/trackers they use on animals at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted April 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think it will never become a reality, hehe. But yes, it looks extremely cool. There is another artist who made similar suggestions, check it out here: https://io9.gizmodo.com/robots-shaped-like-african-animals-join-the-fight-again-1500411986 Very cool!

Subscriber nudge+ Posted April 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2018 Probably not financially viable at this point, and there would be issues of the herd accepting a "robot rhino" on top of that... If it happened though, just imagine the video footage we could get from its cameras Super cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cat loves to sit on the shed roof at the bottom of our garden hoping to catch out the birds nesting up in the trees down there but she had a run in with a feisty Magpie the other week according to my missus and didn't know what to make of it by the sounds of it and did a runner by all accounts... You wouldn't believe it when looking, but this is the face of a magpie killer. EDIT: It uploads sideways for some reason.

Or maybe they could have the robotic rhinos actually charge at poachers and make sure they run at speeds that poachers could never reach so that they are caught and impaled every time? Or we could set a pack of these beasts on the poachers:- They would have no chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far-fetched idea, but it looks badass! Program these things to go after poachers and you've got yourself a really badass rhino protector robot. Pretty sad about how there's only 2 Northern White Rhinos left in the world. And they're both females. The zoo here has some of Northern White Rhino sperm frozen though, and they're going to take female Northern White Rhino eggs and artificially inseminate one inside a Southern White Rhino at the SD Safari Park to try to save the species from extinction. That's pretty cool, although it's a travesty they're so close to being wiped out in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out something interesting about bees a couple of weeks ago which surprised me... When we were still in that colder weather I found a large bumble bee that seemed stuck in one of our early blooming flowers at the back of the garden and hoping it would just take off at some point still found it in the same spot at around 7pm.. As the evening was still getting a bit cold I thought he would probably die overnight so got a plastic curry dish and lid out and brought it into the house and put him under the boiler in the kitchen. I put a little bud cap in there with some sugar and water and left him overnight as he seemed very sluggish.. The next morning my daughter said that it had been buzzing around in there most of the morning so I checked on it and left the lid open a bit to see if it would fly off... About an hour later my missus said it had died... I come down to find it had somehow got straight into the sink of greasy water and was all bunched up in a little ball and did look dead and buried.. I was a bit pissed off that I had done my best to try and save him only for that to happen so put it back in the container and thought I would get rid of it later but forgot and left it overnight.. In the morning when I came down it was on it's back with it's legs spread out which I thought was weird so gave it a little nudge and it started buzzing... did make me jump to be honest.. In my defence it was a big one... Well in the afternoon I took it down the back of the garden that was in full sun and after about 5 minutes of grooming itself it climbed out on the arm of the chair and then flew off over the fence... I suppose they must go into shock or something but can still recover under certain circumstances... needless to say I was pleased it survived.. had a few buzzing round the house when the sun was out last week and they all seem really big this year..

Carnivore Chris Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I've saved bees a few times when they are drowning when I'm fishing. I just scoop them out with the net and put them on the side of the bank. They sit there breathing heavily(you can see their little lungs moving) for a while before flying off. Wasps can stay in the water to die though. Horrible things. Not all bees of course(as I wouldn't want to come across Africanised bees!) are pretty dormant and don't really bother you, unlike wasps, which sting you just for laughs and giggles. "never turn your back on a tiger"....Well I wouldn't want to have my front facing one either, as they don't give a fuck if you are looking at them or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
