For him to imply that was even a wild ocelot is ridiculous. Not a chance it was a wild animal.

respect Gabe, you are a walking encyclopedia ...but are you 150% sure that couldnt be a wild one? there are wild foxes that are almost as playful as that and that ocelot is young....they mention in the video that its not completely wild as its had encounters with people before

Yea them trash Panda's have hands. Outside of primates and human's I can't think of many animals with thumbs. The ability to manipulate the environment seems like it would he a HUGE factor in determining how a species advances. In fact, my non-professional opinion is that opposable thumbs are almost as important as brain function.

Very valid question and anything is possible. But more than likely it was either hand raised and released, a former pet or it's handlers are behind the cameras. Wild cats are very different when compared to wild foxes. I've worked with ocelots that are used to people and they are not like that at all

Which shrimp do you have?
Thanks man. It just sucks and I don't want to start over from scratch. I've started selling off my equipment which was hard to do.
I want to get back into breeding FW fish, i havent decided yet. I'm looking at peacock gudgeons, celestial pearl danios, or pea puffers. LFS only wants the basic stuff and they're not much of a challenge. I do have some orange eye blue tiger shrimp paid for, the guy is hanging onto them until work slows down a little.

It's just a tiger pistol.
 
Yeah I'm sure the media won't run wild with stories about that.

That is fascinating to me. I mean basically the hermit crab can communicate with the sea anemones and not only do they not sting the hermit crab, but they will let go of the shell for the crab. How? WTF? The anemone is almost plant like. How does the anemone know what creature is prodding it and what it wants? I'm baffled.
 
That sea worm is the stuff of nightmares. lol at the cheek sunnuvabitch who named it Bobbit.

The hermit crab has a hard shell stupid, it's immune to stings. Also everyone knows the hermit crab uses a song and a soft caressing touch to seduce the anemones onto his shell. They're the Marvin Gaye of the crab world.

It doesn't, the crab is just hitting it in the right spots to get it to let go.

Hermits are pussies. Boxing crab, it carries anemones in it's claws to fuck shit up.

Decorator crabs will put anything they can find on their body, they produce a "glue" to hold things

They're usually a deep water animal, 150ft or more IIRC. Check out mantis shrimp, there's a smashing one that's claw has the velocity of a .22
