Welcome to WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE


Ecology | Animal Science & Evolution | Ethology & Behavioral Ecology | Wildlife Conservation | Habitat Preservation | Animal Cognition & Emotion | Endangered Species | Animal Rights & Welfare | Animal Agriculture | Companion Animals | Humane Living & Activism

As you can guess, this group is all about animals—both wild and domesticated—and the complicated relationship we have with them. It is about exploring and understanding their lives, and how they touch ours and we theirs in return.

As listed above, posts can consist of anything related to animals: science, evolution, behavior, food production, humane living, and pets.

Whether you work with animals or if you’re just a nature lover and pet owner, this group will hopefully have something for you. I look forward to your contributions.

To post discussions that are solely about environmentalism and sustainability, please join Green Atheists.

frogs are the most adorable creatures! To think I gave up my MSc on frogs, :(

Sounds like my dog's squeeky toy.

Watch this rare video of a Namaqua rain frog and its mating call. The frog is found in subtropical and tropical climates in areas that are very sandy as well as covered with scrub vegetation. The frogs are a burrowing species and spend most of their time underground, emerging mainly to eat insects after a rainfall.

The sun and the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago...had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands. -- Havelock Ellis (1923)

Or the ways we convince ourselves the cancerous nature of our behaviour is justified. That's fairly "evil" too.

Supernaturalizing the human experience makes it impossible to understand and value humanity's place in the natural environment.

I completely agree with you, T A A. I was just sharing a quote I love. It will come back on us. All of our destructive ways will end up destroying us. Maybe not our species, but definitely our numbers and life as we know it. Unfortunately the rest of the species that inhabit this beautiful planet have and will continue to suffer, some more than others.

For my free mind the greatest "evil" imposed onto animals is not their butchering, for the pain of death is short and fast. For me the greatest "evil" (as if that word makes any sense?) the greatest harm we do to all the ecosystem, is the mere fact of our cancerous nature, our obsession with destroying everything in our path, and through this making the world inhabitable by all other life forms. Humans-Growth-Cancer, one and the same. As a species, we are so overdue for some humility!
