I'll never understand the evolutionary advantage of nature developing the friendliest fluffy soft ears and putting them on a 200kg apex predator.

[–] HolyDiver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They were cozing up to humans for the title of "ultimate hunting duo apex" but because they don't hunt during winter so the wolves won the contest.

we should have domesticated bears

[–] Zenjal@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

I meeeean, lookin at this then the top of my bald ol head and not taking into account any other very valid arguments, I can see why people would choose bear over man in woods.

Ah, thanks. Unfortunately the real estate 6-12 inches south of those ears is ever so slightly less cute

[–] zippycat9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

idk, i disagree. they look similar to dogs.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Well, according to taxonomists, all carnivores are either cats or dogs.

Carnivora are divided into two suborders, the Feliformia, containing the true felids and several "cat-like" animals; and the Caniformia, containing the true canids and many "dog-like" animals.

The fur covers their ears to prevent the screams of the people they're mauling from damaging their eardrums.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because they hunt by using their three-dimensional sense of smell.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

An apex predator shouldn't have 30mph running speeds and 3d smell-o-vision. There is no God...

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thats the bait used to pull you in for the chomp

[–] RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These are actually Viking's pet

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Don’t feed them people damn it I know they look like a dog

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

Why do you feed your dog with people?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Whatever you got to tell yourself buddy. Don't worry, I'll mock you with your funeral.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If they were bigger they'd get bitten off more often in all the fights.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They live in cold climates, so they have thick fur.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The irresponsible pitbull owners mindset right there.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

But they’re just a bear. You can trust them being brought into the house and left with the kids.
