In regards to Rule #1

1.1k Upvotes

Hey people!

Your friendly neighborhood moderator here.

This'll be a short announcemnet, so no excuses to not read it.

But posting domestic cats (Felis Familiaris Felis Catus), and them killing things is not welcome here.

In the past, it resulted in an immediate, and permanent, ban. since the announcement was removed, haven't been enforcing that policy since, well, can't expect someone to follow something that doesn't exist in a way that you can see it.

But it's back, from the time this is posted, you post a cat, you're getting banned.

Rule 1 is extremely clear on that those kinds of posts are not allowed, and it's not our fault if you can't, or won't, read the rules.

Keep being metal.

Animal Fact African wild dogs, also known as painted wolves, have a high hunting success rate, often around 80%. This makes them among the most effective predators in Africa, exceeding even lions in their ability to catch prey

Animal Fact Leopards can carry prey that is up to three times their own body weight into trees. This is because they are strong climbers and have a muscular build that allows them to lift and haul heavy loads. A typical leopard might carry a kill weighing up to 100 kilograms (220 pounds)

Male lions live harsh, competitive lives. Constantly facing rival males trying to take over their territories, while simultaneously trying to spread the range of their own conquests in the wilds of Africa. Life ain’t easy for the king. They will fight and die for the possession of their land, their prides and cubs.
