^^ Awesome picture. Pretty cool tradition imo and really popular in the Tyrolean alps.
It is amazing how different animals can become friends. Take these frolicking couples for example.
Bears are assholes. It will steal from those cats any opportunity it gets.Here ya go
Actually, there maybe some truth to your claim.
Starving artist bear:
Karl Rove bear:
When you go camping you need a Bear bag not a deer bag.
Although to be fair, in most cases a bear is really just interested in eating your Kind bars and beef jerky, whereas a lion and/or tiger prefer the human flavored beef jerky (or aggressive frolicking as westy might say).
Warning: Star Wars spoiler!
The new Street Plant Lance-Plant is so full of want. Little Frankie Hill, wow I fell old as sh!t right now.

Another cool tradition, in Holland...
Starry Scream by Van Munch?
My Cat is a Killing Machine. If she can catch it. It is dead. My neighbor asked me to not let her up on the roof anymore as He is sick of picking up dead pigeons and squirrels.
Ours stays inside, but crickets and flies are annihilated.
OG glory hole?
I suppose. A 25000 year old bronze age Glory hole in the Caucasus mountains.
Grey squirrels or Flying squirrels ?
White squirrel from Brevard, NC
Impressive. Most cats can't catch greys.
In Oz they're going to do the right thing and take out at least 2 million of those invasive pests. Hawaii might be right behind them:
Spot the crapper!
Yeah, good on Oz...thankfully, they've taken strong and effective stances against invasive species like sheep, rabbits, cane toads, cattle, dingos, etc...and protected native species like Tasmanian Tigers.In Oz they're going to do the right thing and take out at least 2 million of those invasive pests. Hawaii might be right behind them:
They do just like America has various control programs for almost all other feral animals including feral hogs, horse, dogs, exotic snakes etc.
Yep, often using poison chemicals to *try* to control rabbit and cane toad populations. Btw, those some of those "cats" you posted look to be huge by domestic cat standards. Do you know if they are mixed with a larger northern hemisphere species like a lynx?They do just like America has various control programs for almost all other feral animals including feral hogs, horse, dogs, exotic snakes etc.
Poisons aren't the only control methods being used but are more often the choice because of the extremely limited budgets and staff.
Older poisons are an issue in parts of Oz but it's a big country. The new drug is feline/canine specific (both exotic in Oz), humane (approved by the Oz vet association and it has an antidote for pet owners), and it won't kill Oz natives easily other than goannas which just means it has to be applied correctly:
More on Curiosity and smarter control approaches
They are regular feral cats living in favorable exotic conditions, just like this one:
Dettol:
In Australia, Dettol spray has been shown to be lethal to cane toads, an invasive species that was introduced from Hawaii, as a result of bad judgment, in 1935. It had been hoped that the amphibian would control the cane beetle but it became highly destructive within the ecosystem. Spraying the disinfectant at close range has been shown to cause rapid death to toads. It is not known whether the toxins are persistent or whether they harm other Australian flora and fauna.
Owing to concerns over potential harm to other Australian wildlife species, the use of Dettol as an agent for pest control was banned in Western Australia by the Department of Environment and Conservation in 2011.
