Zookeeper Gabe's Animal Thread V6.0

[sverre054]

Wow I just watched a Mink kill a Seagull in the water here in AK. That was a bloodbath. I think a mink, would be one of the scariest animals if they were around a 100lbs. I know wolverines are insane, but these Mink are fearless.

Mustelids are some of my favorite animal.

Holy shit. African Rock python eats 30lb porcupine and both die.

"It isn't clear what caused the snake's death..."

Really? I'll give you one guess.

I'm no gabe, but my google-fu gives me Phrynocephalus mystaceus, a type of lizard from the middle east.

That looks right. I wonder if it's mouths flaps are used to threaten predators.

Hey Gabe, how bad ass was the saber toothed cat? Could he destroy all modern big cats?

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Reptiles must be stupid, even lions know what's up with porcupine's.

Yet another reason leopards are absolute badasses:

 

[Zookeeper Gabe]

@sea-it's a type of agamid lizard. And yeah it uses them as a startle defense

@dtrain-they probably could have

A fairly common thing I say when talking about animals with friends: "actually, I talk to an American zookeeper on the internet and he said [insert interesting animal fact here]".

 

[Zookeeper Gabe]

Lol. Spanky says, that's wicked cool.

 

[Zookeeper Gabe]

Had the anaconda catch up this am. She's a little over 12'
Not that big. But the exhibit is the more dangerous part. The door is wicked heavy and is help up by a fucking broom handle. So the girl caught it and I had to reach in and get the head out of it's coils and book it before she snagged a coil on something.

Yup and the alligators will probably get shot.
