I know this one is as old as broadband internet, but it will never stop making me laugh. So just sharing again.
Made me laugh a probably inappropriately loud amount in the hospital waiting room.
Don’t give scientists ideas, the somewhat dire wolfs are already here and all.
Nah. They’re the wish or temu version. They’re just grey wolves with a couple gene edits so they look similar to dire wolves. Nothing more.
They can,
but only when they see the cucumber you placed behind them.They are cats. If you see that butt wiggle, prepare to dodge.
they can still leap too high for comfort though.
we’ve all seen the tiger attacking man on top of a elephant videos.
If i saw any animal leaping forward 12 meters, I’d shit my pants.
To be fair, they’d have to be running at full speed.
There’s a Olympic record of a 8.95m jump by Mike Powell in '91, so for a much more larger and stronger *4-legged animal it’s not too surprising.
You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they’re 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.
People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.
And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools.
Just goes to show what an amazing evolutionary advantage we get from the combo of intelligence and dexterity. The ability to make and use tools to fit any situation makes us capable of anything other animals can do and more.
