As I said, that’s the way they always do it, and it isn’t purely a fart. The excretion is always thereby propelled into propellers. Scent marking.
Neither do lions. Vid at 0:30 s.
Weak. A daring pet owner will adopt an African Bush Elephant.
Stranger
Nevertheless, that’s my hippo dream over. Hope you are happy, Leo :mad:
To be honest there’s quite a lot of hippo turbo-honking videos on Youtube. A surprising amount.
Thanks! I just woke up my SO with much hysterical choking/laughing! 
Q: What the most common redneck last words?
A: “Hey, ya’ll, watch this!”
I wanted one for Christmas, and even wrote and sang a song about it, but no one ever gave me one. :: Sniff ::
Speaking as a ‘native redneck’, A. is usually preceded with “Hold my beer!” 
And how will you tell if it’s been raiding the fridge at night?
Anyone?
I’m gonna cross breed a gator with a pit bull. Then cross breed that with a honey badger. The cross breed that with a West Borro Baptist Church member (hopefully the dad but I guess one of the daughters will do in a pinch).
At this point the OP is quite welcome to then purchase my gatorbullbadgerbaptist.
Then I’ll work on my bonzai techniques and after a few more years the more timid members of the board can make their own safer purchases.
footprints in the peanut butter
I heard it butter. Makes more sense, because it’s hard for an elephant to open a peanut butter jar, but they do relly like it, of course.
I like butter better, because it just refers to their clumsiness when hiding out. But yours is good too.
ETA: yours actually makes more sense, since I said “raiding.” “Hiding” is te correct question for “butter.”
Shit hits the fan. I’m disappointed with myself for not immediately seeing that.
WHile I think this has been adequately covered, I’m going to chip in anyway. I have worked with exotic reptiles and amphibians for years, and crocodilians are no joke to keep in terms of husbandry or training. Alligators can learn certain basic behaviours and a small “vocabulary” of words. All of these are related to natural behaviours such as feeding responses or flight from predators. They will learn their keeper’s voice and face, and can associate objects with food (like buckets). They can be taught to come on command, jump for food, go to their pond, and other simple basic tasks that make their management easier.
That being said, ALL of the above take an exhaustive and very consistent amount of work to achieve. Alligators should not be trusted under any circumstances to refrain from biting their handlers. They do become very placid with regular feeding and interaction, but will bite if provoked or cranky. Not all gators will bother with a threat display of gaping and hissing first either. Additionally, many states restrict possession of crocodilians without a permit, and the fines can be significant. Crocodilians do not make good pets, and are best left to professional institutions that have both the finances and experience to deal with them adequately.
You also forgot to ask which would win in a fight with a lion or tiger.
The gorilla, of course. Wait… what? 
Chuck Norris. Duh.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Of COURSE! :smack:
The penguin.
BUMP!
Comes now Mary Thorn, owner of pet alligator in Florida, who is fighting with TPTB for a permit to keep her sweet, gentle, lovable pet alligator.
Florida Woman Fights to Keep Her Pet Alligator Who Wears Clothes and ‘Rides’ ATVs, March 17, 2017.
Short background: Apparently rescued this gator as a pup from some unhealthy captive situation. Has had a permit for many years, but gator is now over 6 feet long and newly-enacted rules require more stringent permitting conditions. Hence, the permitting battle.
Just how smart, tame, docile, and domesticated can a pet alligator be? From her description, this gator thinks he’s a puppy dog. Eats at the table with her, follows her around like a puppy dog, sleeps in bed with her like a puppy dog :eek:, plays nice with dogs and children :eek: and drives an ATV (yes, article includes a photo of that); is a local “celebrity” in the neighborhood. It it were me, I’d sleep with one eye open.
(And you’ve seen all those stories about whole neighborhoods getting all up in arms when someone gets a pit bull!)
Is all or any of this believable or possible? Anyone want to place bets on whether a dog or child or Mary Thorn gets eaten first?
Well, even if it is true, we have a good year to prepare for it.
