SirDankbud,

My update told me as much. OP’s likely did too. But it is usually a lot harder to manufacture outrage when you have a full picture and manufacturing outrage is the best way to get exposure on social media.

SirDankbud,

The fun part of the bird name is sometimes hidden in latin. My favourite example is scientific name for the American Robin, Turdus Migratorius.

SirDankbud,

Well since they can’t reach that speed without being in the air, technically they’re the fastest animals OFF Earth.

SirDankbud,

Sorry, didn’t realize I needed a /s for something so clearly sarcastic

SirDankbud,

Dating apps work fine if you know how to date. Met my wife on PoF. Never had any issues getting dates on any of the programs and I’m a 5/10 at best.

If you have a very unique profile and provide thoughtful engagement to potential dates, you will find a partner eventually. I know it can feel like a slog sometimes, but it’s still a lot less bullshit than you’d get dating random strangers the old way.

SirDankbud,

You can actually have more fun with sturgeon than the Germans!Sturgeon still live naturally throughout North America but are extinct in Germany. They only get to experience the glory of these dinosaur fish through pictures, we have them in our rivers and lakes. They’re one of our most interesting freshwater species as well, check em out if you enjoy learning about nature!

SirDankbud,

My initial google-fu did not indicate as much and your comment made me research as to why. These animals take decades to reach sexual maturity and the last time a wild sturgeon was known to have reproduced in Germany was in 1964. So while they have been reintroduced, no one can say for sure yet if that reintroduction has been successful.

SirDankbud,

There are some baby sturgeons that Germany hopes will result in a stable population. However it will be decades before anyone can tell if that was successful. That isn’t at all comparable to the Americas where somewhat stable populations have persisted. We’re talking about creatures that live longer than humans and reach sexual maturity later. There is a very real chance that predators and invasive species will prevent or otherwise complicate any reintroduction efforts.

To say there are wild sturgeon in Germany when there hasn’t been a known wild birth since 1964 and the few they have in their waterways were all captive bred releases from caviar farms is disingenuous.
