Well, yeah, that makes sense because they would compete for the same habitat and probably food as well.

Yeah, that's true. I'm just trying to remember all the info about their behaviour. I got this info off a an ABC program.

I just found out it was Chimpanzees not Onagutans that kill for pleasure. Stupid me :fuzemb:.

I thought it was a bit weird. Orangutans seem like quite peaceful creatures.

The males are actually pretty violent, I think, before they get really old. And like I said, I refuse to believe they're killing for pleasure. Everything in the wild is about competition. Survival of the fittest, yo.

Most, if not all animal reactions are based off instinct. Other animals do not think and have personality and emotions in way that we do.

I'm only reporting on what I heard, I'm not saying is definite. I only put it up so you guys could work out for yourself. Maybe I should of said: APPARENTLY chimpanzees kill for pleasure. I'm not too sure myself, they probably only kill for survival like AquaticAmbi said but you never know...

Back to the topic, I was thinking last night about how much I love polar bears. I saw a few in sea world last summer and they were totally cool, playing and fighting with each other. Almost human.

One of them was playing with a huge tank of ice when her brother was let into the enclosure. She immediately jumped into the water and worked for five minutes to wedge the tank into a crack in the rocks underwater just so he couldn't steal it from her.

And I think its funny how they kill baby seals.

*rereads last sentence*

I mean, not that they do kill baby seals, just how they do it. The mothers burrow into the floating ice from underneath and give birth in her ice cave. The polar bears then come hunting from above and smell where the cave is and jump up and down on the ice until it caves in. I just think that's a funny image, a polar bear bouncing around on the ice.

Polar bears are super viscious! Best to stay away from them.

I like domesticated cats. They're superior to dogs and they know it. They look at you as if you're dirt but yet they still fool you into loving them.

Agreed. My grandmother has 12 cats. In a way, most of them are technically ours, but our house is too small to have more than one cat.

Speaking of baby seals, gosh, those white, fluffy ones are adorable. Not sure what kind of seal they are... Harper maybe?
