The Wels Catfish have been fished for so long there aren't anymore that could swallow a man whole, but in the Middle Ages there were plenty.

Roly-poly, pillbug, sow bug, and several other names, but if you want to be technical and make them seem somewhat less cute: "wood lice."

I was in a store and the lights went out. I walked outside to find a dead crow beneath a power line. Dozens of crows surrounded it, cawing.

White sand beaches are mostly made out of quartz, not poop.
DarkOverlordJuice
I thought the same thing. https://www.wired.com/2014/08/absurd-creature-of-the-week-parrotfish/
somnif
It depends, some are basically coral fragments, which are the result of parrot fish nibbling on reefs. More than one way to get white sand.
JohnVoid
Some. The thingy said most. Most are quartz, some are not.
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
Thank you. "facts".

It's not clear if you disagree or agree with me, haha
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
Haha, agreeing with you. Scoffing at "fact" dumps that are usually mostly half-truths or just wrong.
CharityQuill
well the parrotfish eat rocks at the bottom of the ocean...
JohnVoid
Fair enough. But parrotfish only live in tropical or sub-tropical environments. So.. what about every white beach not located there?
CharityQuill
I suppose those areas just have regular sand made the regular way

Yes, they are extremely clever. Had a friend who had troubles with crows killing the foals by hacking out the eyes, leaving them blind 1/2
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
Directly after birth. Also, if they’re left the house with a shotgun they fled but if they were unarmed the crows stayed in the trees. 2/2

The llama one is true, because they use teamwork. The alpha male will harrass the predators, while the other llamas guard the animals.
IdRatherBeSkateboarding
My grandpa had a guard llama for his sheep, but just one. His name was Tony and he was an asshole.
MySquishyBrains
We had a guard Llama named Cocoa. I watched him send a coyote flying by hitting it with his neck. Pretty cool.
DrPepper523
We had Valentino the ugliest llama that ever lived. Crooked teeth sticking out o his mouth, 1ear split down center so it looked like 3eared
threeblackkittens
I've seen alpacas more than llamas, but I guess they'd probably act the same when it comes to predators. Also donkeys.
Morganator2000
Donkeys make good guard animals as well. They're not as smart as llamas, and not as fast as dogs, but their kick will break bones.
threeblackkittens
I know someone who keeps a donkey for her chickens because she said that even airborne predators like hawks won't mess with a donkey.
RichardWeedMD
Alpacas are naturally better marksmen
MyPowerLiesInMyBookshelf
I figured they were such grumpy-ass animals that they fucked up any coyote or other poor bastard who wasn't a sheep or a llama
wardenclyfe
I think that's one reason donkeys are kept, they'll beat the shit out of coyotes
Dsharppe
That's what donkeys do. There's almost always one in the yard with sheep, in Canada. And let me tell you, that donkey will fuck your day up.
NiHyde
Every cattle herd has at least one donkey where I'm from, two or three if it's big.
CharityQuill
huh. i figured donkeys were just for carrying shit on the grand canyon or pulling small plows in a field. The more you knowwwww~

I love donkeys. https://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/guard-donkey-zbcz1310

donkeys are apparently a fight animal more than a flight animal. Horses are the opposite, but can still fuck you up

I'm calling BS on the Grasshopper one. You can get a locust to behave and color like a grasshopper under circumstances, but not species.
Zahnradfee
The problem is only that "grasshopper" seems to mean different things to different people.
BeardOnTheInside
So I was both right and wrong. All locusts are grasshoppers, but not all grasshoppers are locusts.
somerandombunny
According to wikipedia, the only difference between a Grasshopper and Locust is whether it swarms. Brown Grasshoppers are pretty common.

3) ground with my dog looking proud and a hundred+ angry crows in the trees. Dog had waited for the crow to eat his food and pounced
