If you live east or north of the boundary between Arkansas and Texas, you have groundhogs. The rest of the country doesn't. Wouldn't that be marmotomancy?

Ragitsu Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Zeropoint, I think housing development (from as far away as Clackamas, even) is what's forcing them down into the suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 5 hours ago, Ragitsu said: Here, we occasionally get coyotes roaming through the streets at night. I kid you not. Couple of years ago, my dad and step-mother had a coyote decide to hang around near where they live. It (probably) moved on after thinning out the feral cat population to an alarming degree. Unfortunately, it got one of their parttime outside cats, which led to the other 2 cats of theirs who would go outside, to become permanent inside cats whether they liked it or not. Note: Of course, it also led to them getting an additional cat, when they found one with a chewed up back leg. Took to vets, where it had to be amputated up to the hip. (although, not the name they gave him, I sometimes refer to him as "Tripod") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 6 hours ago, Christopher said: On the contrary, wheat, pigs, and chickens are just three examples of species who have based enormous biological success on tasting good. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary notes that it didn't work out so well for the passenger pigeon. On the other head, the dodo tasted terrible and that didn't save it.

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Cheddar Man is the oldest known modern human skeleton in Britain. He died about 10,000 years ago. Previous assumptions were that he was fair of both skin and hair. But now an examination of his DNA had been done, with surprising results. As it turned out, Cheddar Man was black, but not African. He had blue eyes and black hair. Which throws out the window many assumptions about Britain's early inhabitants, and about how cosmetic traits like skin color emerged. Biologically speaking, race is a nonsense concept in that applying a moral value to cosmetic features says nothing at all about the capabilities of an individual. That so many people do just that is both sad and outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is that these three species are dependent upon another species -- Man -- for their survival. Domestic chickens and pigs would become literally extinct in a few decades if we as a species would decide to totally stop eating them or using their related products like eggs and leather.

A lot of states are overrun with feral hog populations. Some breeds of chicken would die out fast (meat breeds, especially), but by no means all. Many breeds of chicken aren't so far removed from their wild ancestors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
