A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
If it makes anyone feel any better, those being eaten are often sicker, weaker, and/or older than the rest (which makes them easier for the predator to capture and strengthens the heard by removing the unfit who continue to consume if not taken out)
It's sad, yes, but it's how life on earth has evolved. We all need a source of energy. Life is as brutal as it is beautiful
That's why the narrator always says nature is cruel
Make the predator be eaten by a bigger predator. It's not starving
Saw a documentary once where a big cat took out a fucking gator. Shit was wild
I’m too skeptical of these documentaries. I always assume there’s some shenanigans to make the crazy footage happen.
That's why the Attenborough ones are great, they usually have ten minutes at the end where they do a bit of behind-the-scenes and you hear the crew talking about how they had to camp out in the jungle for six months or something ridiculous just to get one shot of a particularly elusive animal. They're always so excited when they finally get it!
Make the predator eat plants, easy!
A good nature documentary can definitely make me cry my eyes out over a poor little plant dying.
Don't worry. Plants have no feelings.
