Yeah, monogamous animals springs to mind. Many animals are emotionally monogamous, but if you do DNA tests they all cheat. All of them.

How can cat believe i can't survive on my own? Bitch I FEED YOU.

They prob don't. Cats take their kill home cause it's a safer place to eat. Then they remember there's delish, easier to eat kibble inside >
Pucklos
< so they abandon the kill. They are really not thinking of their humans at all.
thisisthefirstoneitried
they kill for aport too, cause cats are kinda assholes

Killer whales are known to kill humpback calfs. Adults protect other species from killer whales because of it.
Dudze
Or do the Killer Whales kill the Humpback calfs because they're warding off their food?
dieselpunk
Killer whales sink boats, too. Killer whales are dicks.
kiwiflavored
They also kill for sport, just like humans (and chimps & bottlenose dolphins. The latter bully and murder porpoises for fun)
AtomicSuperMe
that still doesn't make much sense when you think about it. If a bunch of lions keep eating our children, why would we protect the other 1/2
Leithoa
Spite.
DiscoTimeBaby
I guess humpback whales are just good people ya know?
deckai
My guess is, to deny them the food and force them to move to a different location for hunting.
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
shooting them sounds so much simpler. even better I'd just poison them.
Dontfuckwithtinyhippo
that makes a lot of sense really
BigDumbFaggot
Too bad that's probably far to complex an idea for a whale. May have that outcome, but definitely not the intent.
anubisfike
chance of surviving due to catching more flies and thus the reflexive behaviour is strengthened over time. Same with these whales. 3/3
Semirani
Perhaps - but it could be a simpler version of what he said. Meaning, they deny them food simply because they dislike them.
webcamtarantula
The fact is that whales that did that would have a greater chance of having offspring. their intelligence is irrelevant it's evolution.
anubisfike
they're doing when they catch flies with their tongues. It's just a reflex. Still, the frogs with the strongest reflexes had the best 2/3
anubisfike
As long as the outcome is beneficial it doesn't matter if the behaviour is reflexive or voluntary. For example, frogs don't know what 1/3
Nigbac
They probably just have a general instinct to fight and protect against orcas and will do so in any encounter they have with them.
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
"fuck you lions, you don't get to eat!"
Cruxador
Because fuck killer whales.
jqdao3
Because if killer whales don't eat they don't live. Less Killer Whales means more chance your kids will live.
AtomicSuperMe
animals from lions if they are still going to kill our children?
0xTJ
Maybe the orcas will starve, and then can't eat the baby humpbacks. Cuz they're dead.
SilverFoxSpirit
If you had a chance to starve your predators to death you'd deny them a meal any chance you could. Happens in other species as well.
DidoModesto
Empathy, maybe. Scientist would say if the humpback was a parent that lost a child once..
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
then it starts attacking killer whales on sight like that batman elephant
TomZarekForVicePresident
Male Lions kill Hyenas for sport.
Ranger12
Yep Lions hate them some Hyena
almostsomething182
Rarely. Hyenas have a stronger bite, and nobody wants to get in an unnecessary fight where they could easily die.
malexmatt
Because whales are intelligent enough to be vindictive, probably.
AtomicSuperMe
it just doesn't seem smart, but maybe know what they are doing and if it works, it works
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
driving predators out of their territory. if the orcas leave to hunt where they won't be harassed they won't be around to eat your baby
andergriff
because it means they are less likely to get food, when they have less food they starve, when they starve there are less of them.

Their brains don't work like ours and their logic follows a much different pathway
Aedrabani
Analogy: Countries with mutual enemies funding each other.
AuntSharron
They go after orca hunting anything just to shit on the orca.
BlondieSayWhat
Well, an adult whale is more like an elephant vs. a lion than a human vs. a lion... They have less threat of death while being kickass

Fun fact! The Tiger is named Sher Khan, the bear Balloo, and the lion is Fred.

Great. Fred died. Who choose the names, Rowling?!

G. R. R. Martin, maybe.

Surely Nala would have been a better name for the lioness but 'Fred' is also good.

Actually it's Leo. I was wrong about Fred. Nala would definitely be a better name

That's not what monogamous means tho

I was really hoping someone would say this
Ixadias
The monogamy thing was the fact. The comment was in regards to the image used. They're separate statements.

That's not how I took it. I took it as the OP not knowing what monogamous means.
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
Homosexuality isn't a human trait, despite what certain sects of people will have you believe, it occurs naturally in the animal world.
HOLAKOOO
did you hear about the homo necrophiliac ducks? i believe there was an ignobel prize for that one. they fucked it till it was cold.
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
Yeap, messed up lol. There was also an introduced species of Ichneumonidae (parasitic wasps) trialed for bio-control. They couldn't (1/?)
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
figure out why the species wouldn't establish a viable population, turns out, all the males were mating with all the other males (2/?)
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
And not really mating with the females, heh. There was some sort of issue with mate recognition that, sadly I cannot remember.Still comical.
HOLAKOOO
found it. there must be an answer there! glow bugs quit mating coz of LED use at night, going back to sodium lights now (less spectrum)

Great now I have to re read this post
CountTyroneRugen
(Also blind snakes are a species of sightless snakes, owls are not just kidnapping disabled ones)
AlaSnackbar
Curious question: so how do blind snakes reproduce i.e. how do they find mates and defend against predators
Imhereforthelurking
They track by scent, and since they eat small insects, they mainly hunt in leaf litters and rotting bracken, both out of the way of most 1/2
Imhereforthelurking
2/2 things that would eat them. They also reproduce in vast numbers, so a few hundred eaten is, in an area, nothing to thousands born yearly
TracyKay
Even snakes with good vision tend to rely mostly on scent. I'd imagine blind snakes live their lives similarly.
CountTyroneRugen
As far as defending from predators, they just hide :) they have scales and such, but they mostly live underground/in leaf litter and so (1/?
CountTyroneRugen
They aren't easily found. This leads to item 2, which is that we don't really know a whole lot about them, as it isn't easy to study tiny 2/
CountTyroneRugen
Worm-like creatures when we are not worm-like. But, pheromone trails are a possibility, as well as environmental triggers (like coming [3/4]
CountTyroneRugen
Biologist here; blind snakes are very small and eat insects. Screech owls have been noted in many different cases to catch blind snakes (1/?
CountTyroneRugen
And bring them to their nests. The blind snakes live in the nest and eat insects/parasites, keeping the nest clean.
HOLAKOOO
did you hear about the birds in LA using cig butts for the exact same reason?
CountTyroneRugen
I did read an article about that, actually! I'm torn in that its cool to see them innovating, but at the same time; no birds! No cigarettes!
HOLAKOOO
how the f@!#$ did they figure it out! so fast! but TBH i'll be torn when i see them free-basing nicotine.

No I upvoted 2 but not 1. Didn't occur to me to do it the other way.
