I see a clipping issue:
Also, you guys have elk in Germany?
That 6x5 bull looks pretty nice. It would also look nice hanging on the wall.
(Although, being that close they're probably semi-domesticated and living in a preserve.)
(The meat can be amazing, too!)

What? You can clearly see its head, picking up something from the ground. (If I understood your joke correctly)
Also, you guys have elk in Germany?
That 6x5 bull looks pretty nice. It would also look nice hanging on the wall.I don't think it's an elk, those would be of North American denomination. The stag is a red deer, but I don't really know the details of the distinction. The tiny ones in the first picture are apparently roe deer.
What does 6x5 mean?
(Although, being that close they're probably semi-domesticated and living in a preserve.)
(The meat can be amazing, too!)Yeah, it's from the local deer park. I just tried to not have the fences visible in the picture.
And I guess the meat might be nice, but you can't just go and shoot them. That's the forest ranger's job to keep the population under control (outside the park, in the forests). Although, actually I don't know that either, maybe you can when it's hunting season and you get a license.Not pictured were: European bison, tarpan (wild horses), lynx, aurochsen (those are massive (Huh? Wikipedia calls them extinct?! Apparently just some kind of reconstruction breed to look similar but not quite as big as the extinct original), etc.

it's some measure of how impressive the deer's
boobiesantlers are.....NFC what the numbers mean....... i think one's points and the other is branches?
apparently higher numbers are better or something?

Ah, yes, that one did not just impress the lady deer. Pretty photogenic, but definitely has an aura of authority, I wouldn't want to get in the way of his antlers.
And I don't usually care for status symbols when it comes to humans.

Yeah, on the other side of the tree!
@topspin said in 😻 The Emergency Cute Things Thread:
What does 6x5 mean?
It's pronounced "six-by-five," and it's a count of the points on each side, and if they're different, the larger quantity is always put first.
This specimen might be a 6x6 or "six-by-six" or just "six-by," which means six points on each side, but with the camera angle I can't tell whether the next-to-last point is one or two.
Antler rack scoring includes the width at the tips, at the widest part of the beams, and the widest points; length of the longest beam (furthest tip from the base); circumference of the antlers at certain places; point count; and symmetry. If the antler shape is weird and blobby, then the rack is scored in a different category.

@Tsaukpaetra When the game designers are lazy and just reuse the same model for all characters.

@anonymous234 At least they used two textures. One has a white forehead; the other doesn't.

Finally, non-pterodactyloid trackways! These had been elusive for two centuries of research.
The paper isn't OA (
) so here's a twatter thread with some pretty pictures
A note about this – see the scale bar in the bottom right?
That's 10 cm long.¹ Tiny pterobubbies!²
Now I need to draw an adorable young Rhamphichnus or Rhamphorhynchus or what-have-you leaving its cute little prints in the sand…

Because "tortilla" already means something entirely different.
