      My black cat could take down a fisherman who was carrying a tuna, I feel like this counts.

            Stray cats are actually a recognized threat against the wild turkey population. It was one of the things they actually mentioned last time they did a big catch and spay drive near me.

              So here’s my headcanon of why the birds are fucking with the intersections around the towns here

              I’m not sure when we got turkeys, whether they’re native or invasive, but we’ve had turkeys here for at least 25 years. Huge fuckers. Everyone took the chrome offa their cars because the turkeys would come peck it at stoplights. They showed up about the same time that fucker a few towns over who got peafowl so people would think he was rich? His peafowl ran away, fucked, and infested the town the dude lived in so now everyone has peafowl. So now everyone knows this one dude isn’t rich enough to keep his peacock in his yard. Anyways around that same time the turkey’s showed up so like, I feel like it was some farmer making fun of the rich dude at first and he bought turkeys to live in his yard instead of peafowl because that just how you do around here and they both lost them at the same time.

              Those fuckers.

          Domestic turkeys are dumb. Wild turkeys are clever, attentive and fast when they want to be.

      Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming it’s off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “you know what? Lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion.” We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”

      How ya gonna do that?

      We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It’s not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.

    That’s some “campfire cooking in another world” type of stunt. Sylvia would dump it at the back door and demand you butcher and grill it.

      This is literally what house cats do. Humans ‘hunt’ and leave the food for them. House cats are scavengers.
