Worst way to die in the animal kingdom
Nature can be pretty brutal so, predation or otherwise - What does anon think is the worst way to meet your end?
getting abducted by a closeted gay man brutally sodomized and then dissolved in a barrel of acid
Definitely shark attack by modest swarm of modest size sharks. Takes forever to have to most painful death imaginable.
Maybe getting spine broken by bear and then eaten alive by its cubs. But that takes some shit luck
I guess if spine broken you don’t feel pain? Bear attack probably results in rapid shock and blood loss anyways. Bad idea scratch that
dying of loneliness
Swarm of flesh eating March Flies.
God dammit, getting hundreds of these while camping in the middle of nowhere in the Gascoyne around Octoberish is a hell I cannot recommend less. For the love of God do not go to NW Aus during sept - jan, it is pure hellish.
These things were swarming and killing rats I swear.
Australia, not even the fucking flies are safe. Fark me.
I am just starting to appreciate the hell abos dealt with here daily.
No wonder they didn't invent shit when you're too worry about a fly biting your asshole. You've got:
>a deadly snake or spider in the bush,
>sharks, crocs and deadly jellyfish in the water,
>a lack of water,
>poisonous food everywhere (including the animals that have eaten the food - especially mackerel and roos),
>poisonous AND venomous plants,
>45C in summer,
>algae problems in water that you do manage to find (assuming it's not just a salt lake like most fucking lakes in this area),
>bushfires and trees that actively encourage them with fuel,
>sporadic flash floods when it finally does fucking rain,
>plagues of locusts and other bugs, many probably bite people,
>Eagles large enough to kill roos and attack people (they still attack gliders to this day),
>rocks made of fucking asbestos and radioactive materials,
>mosquitos, disease,
>AND these motherfucking flesh eating flies.
I don't think a single race of humans ever dealt with the shit the people of this country deal with. Half that crap you can't even see coming because it's too small or smallish and well camo'd or just the weather itself.
ask /jp/, japs know how to torture animals
Them and the chinks are in the running for animal cruelty awards. Pajeets aren't far behind in 3rd.
Being cast into the tick orb.
I wonder how that anon is doing
>thousand years of pain
give me one valid reason why parasites shouldn't go extinct
Because what they do works
getting mauled by pibble
getting eaten alive by bullet ants?
AAAAHHHHH WHY DOES IT JUST GO BACK IN
probably have next there
*nest
botfly seems nasty
That wasp that sedates spiders, lays eggs inside of them, and lets the spider go STILL ALIVE and then her babies eat the spider alive when they wake up.
That's the vast majority of wasp species, anon.
hot
Every whale, dolphin and other aquatic mammal that escapes violent death eventually faces a choice between dying by drowning or dying from dehydration and exposure stranded on a beach.
Being eaten alive by another animal, suffering from a prolonged and painful illness, being caught in a trap or net, or drowning.
is there any non-horrible way to die in the animal kingdom?
no thats why getting killed by a hunter would actually be a gifted death compared to their other options.
now that i think about it.. freezing to death.. or slow blood loss. dehydrating while probably not great is better than a lot of alternatives.
Dehydration actually really sucks due to all the painful muscle spasms and convulsions you get when your body starts shutting down from it
having your skull crushed or your neck snapped by a jaguar probably isn't too bad as far as animal kingdom deaths go. I can't really think of anything else that can offer a clean kill.
While having your skull crushed or your neck snapped by a jaguar may not be the most pleasant way to die, there are definitely worse ways to go in the animal kingdom. For example, being slowly devoured alive by ants or being slowly digested over the course of several days after being swallowed whole by a snake are both much more agonizing ways to die.
you die within minutes if not several seconds after being swallowed by anything; you either get crushed to death or asphyxiate. there is little to zero oxygen in the throat or stomach.
Let the vore fetishist dream.
This is not always the case. If you are swallowed by something large enough, you may be able to survive for a short period of time. There have been reports of people surviving after being swallowed by large animals.
whales spitting people out after like 10 seconds =/= there being oxygen to breathe.
Getting bodyslammed by a bird of prey, perhaps? If you die, you are good. If you aren't, it is going to be extremely painful
4UUUU
Old age
i would rather get my neck ripped out by a lion than die of old age
>Falling off a Cliff
>Random Organ Failure
>Getting killed quickly by a predator
>Getting stepped on by a larger animal
>Eating enough of some poison plant/animal to die incredibly fast
getting caught in a web and being eaten slowly by a big nasty looking spider
Being hunted by an Afican Wild Dog pack
>Dogs are stamina runners that can keep a steady and fast pace
>They work in relay so when the front dog tires, the one behind picks up the pace and takes its place
>Chases often end with the exhausted prey desperately diving for safety in a body of water
>Either drowns, gets eaten by a croc or crawls to shore where the dogs are waiting
>Don't even bite the prey at the neck/throat to kill it quicker, they just rip it apart while it's still alive, prey is often standing with its organs hanging out
>They do all this while doing an eerie high-pitched squeaky sound
>80% hunt success rate, if they start chasing you it's basically over
There was a toddler who got dropped into a wild dog enclosure some years back by his parent who was standing him on the rails, and you can imagine what happened to him
Fucking what?
Being eaten/digested alive definitely
assholes
I see pelicans eating small birds and creatures all the time.
It's way more common than people think.
If they were larger they'd probably try small children too.
imagine being a small bird and seeing that thing in front of you
holy shit, terrifying
There are flies that lay eggs on toads, then the maggots crawl into their nostrils and eat its face off.
wow that's nasty
can toads not itch their face?
Toads don't have the best dexterity and the maggots latch on pretty tightly
>Free food grows near mouth
>I quess I die
Dying from blood loss after your pet bed bugs have a million babies and they all suck you dry
Blood loss is one of the least painful deaths
Burning alive is supposedly the most painful way to die but I'm not sure how often that would actually happen in nature.
Maybe starvation/dehydration? I heard that suffocation or drowning is very painful but then other people say it's peaceful so who knows. Getting slashed and bitten by a lion would be very painful but I imagine it would be over pretty quick.
supposedly 3 billion animals died in those big australian bush fires we had a few years ago. lots of that is probably asphyxiation but there's no way a bunch of slow ass koalas didn't burn alive
Being caught by a child, put in a jar and slowly dying of starvation in a puddle of your own shit and piss while the child occasionally shakes the jar and grabs you in his snot stained hands to smash your head against a GI Joe
true
These bastards
Getting eaten by a mantis has to be up there
Death by parasites eating you inside out.
Epomis beetle, you're the frog.
>look it up
>the thing slowly eats portions of the still alive frog
>doesn't even finish it and just fucks off after the frog dies
Absolutely based
From parasites/parasitoids. Most predators will at least usually give you a rather quick death, but a parasite infestation will slowly drain you until you die.
But they die as proud mommies.
Pic related strikes me as pretty awful, tho'.
I agree, debt-bondage is the worst way to die in the animal kingdom.
My dog got a turkey the other day. Watching it slowly die while being shaken around and ripped apart was pretty brutal. Yes, I did get it under control and finished the bird off quickly, but being chased down and eaten alive is pretty fucking bad.
Cool story bro
I feel like having your insides melt from acid or venom while you're still alive just so a bug/spider can slurp it all out is pretty fucking horrific.
getting swallowed whole is usually pretty quick since you run out of oxygen in a few minutes, right?
The getting swallowed part takes a long ass time, during which you are alive the whole time.
there can be a lot of weird variation like this seal is getting rasped open like tube of biscuits
cicada killer
I had a horrible dream of.... smothering...
>cicada killer
Need those in Aus... but also do not want.
breaking you legs after a fall and dying of dehydration
