Superthread XXXVII

[Cliffhanger]

Yep believing one of the toughest forwards in the game is a "pussy cat" is not stupid.

JWH's stats speak for themselves and his big hits do a lot of talking too.

It's a completely nonsensical claim. If JWH was always third man in, or talked himself up then cowered the whole time on the field, or only took on small players, then fair enough, but that is not the case. He's called a 'cat' because his hits are occasionally high. Most of his penalties aren't even for high shots. People are just stupid.

what a beautiful creature, I don't think I ever even had a positive thought about this animal today, but this picture has bewitched me, I wonder if FFBers recognise what animal this is

Got him yes!

I believe it's a Spotted Hyena, Hala.

 

[Hallatia]

well done, isn't he gorgeous?

I think Lion King had unfavourably coloured my perception of hyenas

 

[Bazal]

People think Hyenas are disgusting animals...it's completely untrue. If you want a nasty animal, look no further than the king of the jungle

AG's wondrous facts: The female spotted hyena's clunge is shaped like a penis.

 

[BDR]

Female hyenas have elongated penis like genitals. Hence why many of them die in childbirth, it's an ugly ugly process.

Discovery channel facts

Damn just beaten on the draw

 

[Bazal]

The females are also dominant in hyena heirarchy. Weird.

lions are gorgeous. That hyena fact was kind of nasty.

The animal kingdom in the African wild is beautiful, so long as man isn't around doing evil things like poaching rhinos and elephants...

I saw this this evening and I thought it was beautiful

these animals should not have to contend with people who hunt for sport/trophies or poachers

Lions regularly engage in infanticide and murder. They are not as noble as they are painted to be. That said, ecologically everything they do makes sense, but practically all other big cats get a bad wrap compared to them...

Also, thankfully, sport hunting in Africa is dead...

Done.

More facts from the great man. Contrary to belief the spotted hyena is not a cowardly scavenger but in many instances the apex predator of the African plain and have been known to chase lions away from a kill.

Might sound lame but I really can get utterly lost in the depths of the internet reading about animals and their behaviour. So fascinating to know the sorts of things we share the planet with.
