Can we get a thread of animal pictures that make you happy going? I'll be dumping my folder and I hope to see some participants.

People Interacting With Animals

Bonus points for lulz, rare/exotic pets, and anything with alligators.

Rare animals

I call it... Spongeworld.

Inside are Rhombodera Stalli nymphs aka Shield Mantis as well as Gongylodes Gongylodes nymphs aka The Wandering Violin Mantis.

Enjoy.

Neon Cuckoo Bee

A goddamn blue bee.

In this thread we post some goddamn cool/fun/awesome animals we don't think a lot of people know about. But their goddamn should.

***HELP****

Found him/her outside in rain. Still alive.

What do I do??! :(

Do you guys have any wild animal encounter stories?

I'll start:

>Walking back to my dorm room after class, it's late at night
>Walk by a dumpster, hear some weird, rhythmic scuffling inside it.
>Look inside the dumpster, spot three raccoons inside, one of them is jumping up and down to try and reach the top
>Realize they're all trapped in there since it was just recently emptied with no footing to get out.
>Look around for something to throw inside as a makeshift stairs, find a bunch of plastic criss-cross containers.
>Shoo them back a bit so I can work, use three of them to make some stairs so they can climb out
>After I back out, the slowly walk up the crates and jump out, the last one turns his head back to me for a split second, and then runs off

>Bum walks up to me
"I'll sell you these magic beans for $3"
SOLD
>Take them home, start to germinate them

Taking bets on what these actually are. Pic related.

Random animal encounter story time

>see really cute snail on sidewalk
>pick it up
>put it back onto the soil
>feel better about self/life

Hi /an/. Never posted on this board before but I figured I'd stop lurking and give something back, as this is in my opinion one of the better boards on 4chan.

Anyway, I'm going to dump random pictures of (mostly) monster and oddball fish. I'm a huge fan of them and keep several hundred gallons of misc monstrosities, from electric catfish to Aba Aba's and larger puffers like the Fahaka, to mostly larger cichlids like jags, butterkoferi, dovii.

Anyway, enjoy. I'm going to try to include information on most of the fish that I post.

First off is an absolutely monstrous eel, more then likely an Anguilla. These eels are often sold as bait at tackle shops, also sold as food as Asian street markets/groceries.
