btw that’s not how gregarious animals work. Many do run but they also protect their young
Is that a Bison? They famously protect their young. Though sometimes they make mistakes.
Nah that’s a Bye-son
This one is correcting its mistake.
Lmao
Only in English a speaking countries. In Japan, it’s a Vega.
I laughed so hard at how grossly wrong the general idea is being presented in this meme. It’s like the repetition of “alpha wolf” myth.
The fact that we have a gif of a herd animal plowing through a younger one and leaving it the the wolves may not be representative of the species as a whole, but good enough for a comic IMO
Edit: wrong gif and I can’t get the right one to upload. If you search buffalo snow wolves gif it should come up
Dang
That’s a “fuck you in particular” if I ever saw it.
Sigma bull theory confirmed
Probably knew it wasn’t his kid. People in these comments seem to be about “mammals protect their young, dammit”, but if it’s someone else’s young, and that someone else isn’t around (even if that someone else is the same species) …
Indeed. My favorite part of nature shows as a kid was watching predators for after the young animals and get absolutely wailed on by the older ones. Never saw a documentary where they just left them behind unless it was completely hopeless, and often still not.
Buffalos rarely leave their young unless it’s hopeless. Most often the adults fight the predators.
The juxtaposition of these posts just below the gif of the bison KOing the other, smaller one, and leaving it to the wolves just above is, I think, even funnier than the comic.
Now I suddenly want to resurrect the Baghdad Bob meme template, but…effort.
Why do people like you even bother reading jokes?
I know it’s a joke but with the caption “nature in a nutshell” makes it as though this is perfectly legit and plants the wrong idea to people that all animal species do this. Some species would instinctively leave their young but not buffaloes. Buffaloes rarely leave their young to predators unless they know it’s totally hopeless to save them. This meme could have picked a more accurate species that does this escape tactic.
It seems like this joke is a recent perpetuation. I’ve seen in Reddit talk about it as well.
Wait until you hear about all the chickens crossing roads
Well, go on???
Well you see, son… When a mama chicken and a daddy road love each other very much…
Yeah I saw one crossing the road in a city I used to live in. I didn’t ask why it was (cause it’s rude to impose) but I could clearly see that it was just trying to get to the other side.
So they have something feel superior about, probably.
Basically. Who the hell goes “well achully…” when they hear a joke? It’s annoying.
I read this in the Voice of Matt Berry.
It works so well in his voice.
That is, without a doubt, the perfect voice for this.
FAAATHEEEEERRR!
Where are the wolves?
Due to policy changes regarding violent and graphic imagery, the wolves in this comic have been changed to ill tempered capybara and can be seen in the upper left of the image.
I was going to say rats but capybaras is a much better call
Capybaras don’t have long tails, so the illustration fails at that as well.
Inside you?
“The birds aren’t singing, they’re screaming in pain and terror” — Werner Herzog
Pretty sure they just want sum fuck.
You need to put the name before the quote so it’s easier for my brain to read it in his voice.
“Title”
I see what you did there.
Nah that is more like human society. Mammals and birds generally defend their young.
Humans give their young student loan debt because economists said it praises their God.
I miss when people used commas.
Downvoted. So unbiased on how animals working
Bye son
I can’t. But you should try -
