Who is Jefrey (with one F)?
He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s almost all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.
Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.
Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.
these are very cute, what other animals needs to be woolified? or better yet, what other traits should be injected into animals to make them cuter?

How do you respond without sounding mad?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

Who is Jefrey (with one F) and why should you care?
He was found abandoned in some bushes late one night, filthy and covered in fleas back in mid-July 2024. He’s growing up fast, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, fetching his ball, playgrounds, and capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.
Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.
Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

Is there anything we can do to stop this? Spreading awareness seems to be the first step as it seems that barely anyone seems to know about this.
Share your ideas in the replies
The closest thing I can think of is how some mammals will kill and eat their own young when starving. After all, if the parent starves to death, the young would die without their care anyway.
Are these similar, or am I reaching here? If the latter, is there anything closer to euthanasia in nature than that?

So I dumped cold water on him, and it calmed him down a bit but he still kept panting heavily and was still limp. Then I dumped ice water on him, especially on his head and the back of his neck and almost immediately he perked up and began breathing normally.
He got up a bit, then went to sleep. I have him laying in cool air under a fan. Anything else I should do?

Both possibilities are terrifying.
They eat, sleep, and poop. Not necessarily in that order.
They also don't sit still for very long no matter how cuddly they are.
As they get older, this gets a little less crazy and they usually mellow out.
The babies, however, are full of energy.

'Hormonal' hawk terrorizes bald men for weeks in English village — before it's finally captured
“[He] looked like he had been in a knife attack,” said neighbor Lizzy Atkinson.
This bird’s battling baldness — one head wound at a time!
A “hormonal” hawk that terrorized bald men by dive-bombing their vulnerable noggins for weeks was finally captured in a small English village, neighbors said Friday.
The bloodthirsty bird wreaked havoc on roughly 50 people in Flamstead, Hertfordshire, just north of London, by swooping down and clawing their heads from behind — hospitalizing one resident and leaving others drenched in blood, according to BBC News.
In one hair-raising attack, the male Harris’s hawk left Jim Hewitt, 75, with a gaping dome gash as he walked to the store to get milk Wednesday, the outlet reported.
The “hormonal” hawk hospitalized Jim Hewitt, 75, with a head injury. Channel 5 News
“[He] looked like he had been in a knife attack,” said neighbor Lizzy Atkinson, who found the retiree “covered in blood” — as the heartless hawk prepared to dive bomb him again.
“God forbid it happens to a child,” she said.
Hewitt, who was hospitalized for the scalp injury, said “it was a shock,” noting that he bled profusely because he’s “on double blood thinners.”
>hairy asian elephants are next on the list
What else are they going to bs us with next, can they not de-extinct something that could still be ecologically relevant, like a thylacine or falklands wolf?
Why are we breeding animals that died out naturally due to climate shifting that no longer fit an ecological niche?
I believe they do.

The guy said two drops per meal. It's not like i want to put my cat's well-being in the hands of some freaks on 4chan, but any advice would be welcome. I will do more research on my own before giving anything to her, anyways.
Intense inbreeding, puppy mills, shit eating 3rd worlders failing to properly take care of breeding dogs, etc etc etc.
Some wonderful puppers are now becoming violent, unhealthy meat bags and it sickens me.
Look at the Golden Retriever. They used to be able to live up to 17 years of age. Now you're lucky if you have one that reaches 14. They get cancer more out of any other breed.
Is there anything anyone can do now?
Rats are cool
I just don't get why we only go ooh and ahh at cherry blossoms only. Don't get me wrong, cherry blossoms are nice (I find the kwazan more appealing than the yoshinos) and not other blooming spring trees like magnolia, dogwood, wisteria, jacaranda, or whatever. Jacarandas especially are underrated; they are the closest we get to natural blue trees.
Would you consider this such a terrible fate?

So far, I've found that the following can kill it...
Ammonia (10%)
Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide
Oxidizers in general (needs for research for safety)
Sulfa-based antibiotics.
Fire/Steam/Boiling Water
Dandelions (Yes...that weed everyone thinks is useless.)
The following are usless...
Bleach
Vinegar
Alcohol
Most other antiseptics/cleaners
