Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Now think about how slow we move when we are older. How our dogs get arthritic and move slower. Then think about those predatory animals on the list. Older lions hunting and only get some of their kills. Grazing animals being easy kills to when hunted. Killer whales getting older with similar problems is a new thought to me. Blue whales likely have it easier. Shrill plankton and the smaller things they eat are likely easier to “hunt”

I think a lot of animals live longer in captivity/domestication because in the wild, when you get just a bit too old, you just die. There isn't really the margin for error for something like getting worse at your job because you are old.
