We call those grates "cattle guards" in the US. They work a lot better for larger animals that don't really roll over, but for well-padded sheep I can definitely see it being ineffective.

You must be one of those guys who thinks the wolf , tiger, or a shark is his spirit guide, just based off of the pure Angst and toxic masculinity in your personality. When in reality you’re current spirit guide is probably a stink bug for an abrasive personality and toxic behavior, a cockroach for being revolting to others but able to survive anything, and a seagull for resourcefulness. So be careful what animals you call stupid.

Nortalian پیش 26 روز

You talking about how stupid sheep are reminded me of this animation I watched called Oh Sheep! Basically two shepherds come to this small patch of grass leading their respective flocks, the two flocks immediately intermingle and bounce happily. Of course, the shepherds can’t distinguish whose sheep is which, so they build a wooden fence which stops the sheep for a minute before one rams into it and breaks it before promptly dying from the head trauma. The shepherds decide to try again, this time with a barbed wire fence. One of the sheep tries to jump it and kills itself on the wire. Next they make a large stone wall, and the sheep seem to be stopped for a moment, before one begins ramming into it, the rest following suit and they begin to kill themselves through heavy brain trauma. Finally, the shepherds realize they can’t separate the sheep with out them killing themselves to get to the other sheep, so they come up with the idea to shear the sheep in different patterns- poka dots and stripes and just let the sheep intermingle. The sheep are happy at first, until they realize the other sheep look different to them, and they seem to slowly back off from each other which would be a funny ending on its own, but remember these are fucking suicidal sheep, so they charge at each other and all the sheep die.

At a farm I once worked at I've actually come across sheep trapped like this just by brambles and completely unable to escape. Including ones which had not been found in the and died.

Johanna Julén پیش ماه

"does it do this intentionally?" Dude, no. It's a plant. It has no intentions. What is a better question is, does procreation of this plant benefit from having features that increase the chances of a sheep dying around it? Because if it is, it will get worse by natural selection and kill more sheep. Sorry, I'm just a bit allergic to questions about evolution that seems to indicate some sort of intelligent design or purpose.

I've seen the same thing said about brambles, it was noted that the bramble thorns all are directed to direct snared prey closer to the core of the plant. If their purpose was to just protect the plant they would not be so likely stick to animals, potentially damaging the plant.

Re: birds getting hit by cars -- I work at an animal sanctuary that includes a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility. We have/had several birds (owls, other raptors, and crows/ravens, specifically) that have been hit by cars because they've gorged themselves on roadkill and then been unable to maneuver as quickly as normal because of the extra weight. So there's at least one explanation for it! Then there was the giant flock of tiny birds that were acting really weird and lethargic, hanging out in the road one weekend. Dozens of them got hit by cars because they just... weren't moving away with any urgency at all.

greebleClown پیش ماه

0:38 There’s a tree here in Florida called the manchineel that is also an exception. It doesn’t hunt, but standing too close to it for a prolonged period of time it will irritate the lining of your throat and lungs. I’d advise against touching any part of it, and God help you if you eat the apple-looking fruit. Also, if you stand under it during rain you’ll get blistering chemical burns.

they actually remade the day of the triffids but due to a sudden eclipse like event a large amount of the population is blinded and these triffids also attack the eyes of the victim first so the speed of the triffid is less of the issue and more that you can't hear them its still shit but makes them a bigger threat i guess

Petr Ševčík پیش ماه

I didn't even know there was a movie of it, but in the book, the main reasons triffids are dangerous are they're kind of sneaky, have realy long reach, tend gather in large numbers (atracted by sound) and most humans have gone blind at the beinning of the book. It's mentioned, that they existed for a while and there were ocasional accidents, but when the world was going as normal, triffids weren't a threat. It is alluded that they are somewhat inteligent, which is another reason. Also the book isn't a horror, but more of a post-apocalypse.

In one way sheep are very intelligent ( one of mine can open my kitchen and garage door), but the little buggers are great at eating things that kill them. Not just dodgy plants but also plastic, metal you name it, they will eat it. Plus just eating too much, which can kill them.

Spinosaur101 پیش ماه

This is also rumored about blackberry brambles, as they can grow rapidly over large areas and their vines are absolutely covered in thorns. Animals like sheep are easy to snag as their wooly coats get caught firmly in the thorns, but other weakened animals with thick fur (such as coyotes) can easily get caught up in them if they're not careful as well. Another more rare example happens with deer; does can bed in blackberry bushes fairly easily by stomping down the vines, but most bucks (when they have their antlers anyway) avoid bedding down in blackberry brambles to avoid getting snagged and caught up, as It's easy for their antlers to get tangled in them. At that point, they usually end up easy prey for careful predators, (some of which, such as coyotes, wild dogs, and wolves are smart enough to use this as a hunting advantage, to corner or ensnare them) or they die of dehydration and fatigue within a few days if they're too weak/entangled to get free. The plant certainly doesn't rely on this for nutrients as blackberry vines are pretty damn hardy and can grow anywhere with a decent amount of rain, but the added nutrients of the ensnared animals, whether it's the plant that killed it or not, is still beneficial to it and the mycelium it and most (if not all) other plants work with and rely upon. I've seen the bodies and bones of animals in the brambles deep in the woods when I was younger on multiple occasions, usually while berry picking or maintaining the land with my dad or helping my friends with their's up the road. It was a relatively rare find, but there was still at *least* one medium/large animal carcass found in the brambles per year in various stages of decay, some of which probably died of natural causes, but others that were noticably entangled in the brambles, and it wasn't just the vines growing through old bleached skeletons.

Aki پیش ماه

Ask a British farmer about bramble (blackberry) bushes. They grow abundantly in sheep-fields because of the manure. What is horrifying is that they are almost perfectly designed to kill sheep. The thorns on the plants grip the sheep wool and are angled in such a way that makes it easier to move towards the centre of the plant than it is to get out. Sheep are dumb, do exactly that and will be cut or held until death where they fertilise the bramble bush. Farmers have a theory that this is how these bushes supplement their nutrient, and evolved to be snare hunters. Most farmers leave the bushes in, once established they are a nightmare to remove due to their thorns and root systems; and the local villages usually complain when they can no longer pick free brambles.

Camden Fitzgerald پیش ماه

Man, I already don't like venus fly traps... why did I watch this.

Jordan D پیش ماه

Sheep get caught and "eaten" by ordinary bushes as well

Nonarei پیش ماه

Brambles (Blackberry plants) are said to do the same, there are some theories about them being "secondary predatory" plants due to the thorns seeming to be more evolved to hold/trap creatures rather than deter them and can snare fur and clothing as badly as razor wire can. Some botanists have suggested it could be one of the stages of evolution that could lead to fully predatory plants when my direct consumption evolves later, the fact that both Brambles and this Chilean plant grow in poor, thin soil might go towards the semi predatory nature as Carnivorous plants grow in poor soils. Other Botanists refute the idea completely, though they do admit the plants would benefit from the decomposing corpse over the root structure.

Is it possible that they started off having spikes and randomly killed the sheep, and that gave them good fertilisation. And then they just evolved into a culture of Sheep-eating plants

Driving through Arizona south of Winslow. 10:30 at night going 60mph (100 kph) In a large white moving van. I see a white object moving toward the road just inside the passenger A-pillar area of the windshield. Position staying the same which I learned in flight school means we are on collision course. This is about a 2 second event at this point. Suddenly *whack* the A-pillar of the van meets with a full grown western barn owl. I cussed the bird for being so dumb. And cried a bit because this awesome bird was now dead.

The UK has a sheep killing plant. If left unchecked, it can grow over huge areas of land. It uses fruits to attract its prey. Once its prey gets in range, it uses its barbs to hook into the animal. The animal will find more and more barbs, as it starts to struggle. Eventually the animal will die, decompose and feed the soil. They grow everywhere and you probably have traces of them in your garden. They are the dreaded Bramble.

kromus1 پیش ماه

It's a little known fact that the common blackberry bramble is considered by some to be a carnivorous plant like this chilean thing. Ever got caught in brambles? Those thorns are perfect for snaring in sheep's fleece, which then die and are consumed by the plant after the animal decomposes. There's a IRitem vid of a farmer trying to free a sheep from a bramble before it dies

Mac Mcleod پیش ماه

Blackberries and Brambles do the same thing-- eat sheep. They trap them, the animals die and rots into the earth an the plant gets the nutrients.

The one parody of a Horror Movie is "The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon" by Richard Gale , in which a man is being stalked like in "It Follows," by a killer who intends to kill him by hitting him with a teaspoon. Nothing magic about the spoon, just he just will get hit over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again with a spoon.

In the Day of the Triffids, there were meteorites seen worldwide that caused blindness in anyone who watched, as well as making the triffids mutate. So sure the triffids are slow, but people are literally walking blind and can't defend themselves. So are the 1962 film and 2009 BBC series bad? Maybe and yes, but it helps if the facts are stated.

In Cornwall we have extremely thorny gorse bush that are very small in height round parts of the coast that will trap mainly sheep, The amount of bones I'd see as a kid walking paths was shocking, don't know if they would wander past at night and get trapped but that's my guess.

This reminds me of a video I saw where a guy argued brambles are the worlds largest carnivorous plant for pretty much the same reason. Sheep get caught in them and die providing fertilizer for the plant. Probably not true. Don't think it'd catch anything less wooly than a sheep but it's interesting to think about.

Zombies always scared me. They aren't the ones they usually show in movies though. They are unstoppable. Relentless. Strong and fast as when they were alive. They can only be stopped by complete dismemberment. I tended to have nightmares about them more then anything else. Been awhile since they've been in my nightmares though.
