jukel123 8,388 Posted Tuesday at 13:39 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 13:39 2 minutes ago, mackem said: I figured you might be,what was your 2024 fish total? 5 salmon, five grilse and half a dozen sea trout. In the past you could catch that amount in a day. No exaggeration. But Salmo Salar is in big trouble as a species. Its now officially an " endangered" species. The salmon are now much smaller and painfully thin. Do you remember the plump salmon , bursting with flesh and eggs? They now look like kelts. There's too much waged against them.....polluted rivers, far more frequent storms and droughts,. Warmer rivers and seas and farmed salmon. The wild fish pass the salmon cages and pick up disease. They also hybridise with escaped farmed fish which fucks up the unique genetic identity of the offspring. Its a shame. And its happened so fast. 2010 was a brilliant year. Who knows stocks might recover. I hope so for future generations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if big cats are so slutty, then why don't pumas and jaguars mate in the wild despite living beside each other? Because they have enough of there own kind not to overlap it’s simple 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The tigers in Sriratcha are huge,they always look quite lethargic,they was a European girl or Australian?couple of weeks back squashed by an elephant at one of the shows or temples?My kids rode one into a river and were jumping into the water off its back,I never gave it a second thought. 2 minutes ago, Daniel cain said: He got pics of the white tigers, cheetahs,tiger / lion xs,chimps, orangutans, big f***ing lizards etche's fished John Wilsons lake a few times...he's a right f***ing weirdo lol There's all sorts there mate,i always like wandering round Bangkok looking in the canals for big monitor lizards,seen a few snakes as well.

Goly 844 Posted Tuesday at 14:31 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 14:31 I used to love the tigers that Aspinall used to keep, they all looked huge and healthy specimens. I believe he had a huge Siberian Tiger called Balkash or something like that, a truly impressive animal, I think it went on to kill it's keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
