      I would argue it’s the same as a pack of wolves vs. a single bear.

          “would you rather-”

          “Bear.”

          “But I didn’t even finish-”

          “Did I stutter? Bear. I love the hairy, cuddley gay ones.”

      I’d argue sperm whales regularly wrestling colossal squids is also extremely badass.

        I’m not even sure the animal depicted is a sperm whale.

        Looks like that little fellow

          Livyatan is an extinct genus of highly predatory macroraptorial sperm whale, containing one known species: L. melvillei.

          Uhm ackshually

              a more fun fact is that Livyatan was almost certainly alive at the same time as Megalodon. Given that modern Orcas regularly prey on Great white sharks, a similar dynamic was probably at play in the late Miocene

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
