Well, most of your wildlife isn't shared with the rest of us.
I know i’m pretty lucky to see the wildlife I see. But then, so are you with all the American wildlife that I would love to see.
That's fair, you guys don't have too many North American species left in zoos so I understand.
I'd love to see a decent sized colony of California sea lion in the wild. I've seen New Zealand sea lions and New Zealand fur seals in the wild (and we even have a Leopard seal that frequents an Auckland marina); but the California sea lion is my favourite pinniped by far.
That's not hard at all on the coast. They smell bad though.
Exactly! See what I mean. Californian Sea Lions for you are like Kangaroos for me!

So do our pinnipeds; though nothing compares to the pungent stench of the Asian small-clawed otter when it's due for a clean out.

Don’t forget Elephant Dung!
When people make a post in a Facebook group and start with “Admin delete if not allowed.” It’s just false humility when you consider admin can and will delete anything that’s not allowed (i.e. they don’t need your permission).
It makes even less sense when 99% of Facebook groups require your post to be approved by admin before it appears in the group discussion.

People who unnecessarily add "moth" to the end of moth common names (i.e. "Maple-Basswood Leafroller Moth" instead of just "Maple-Basswood Leafroller").
For a lot of people it's easier to understand and remember what it is by adding moth.
I get that but personally I find it a bit annoying.
Idk if I said this before but opposing exotic pet ownership is one thing but having exotic pets and opposing exotic pet ownership is just pretty insulting.

You just hit the nail on its head. The worst offender after Baskin imo is 2can TV. He does everything one shouldn't do with toucans (keeping different species together, give his animals junk food, keep them in an unsafe environment), yet he has the audacity to act as if he is better than any other people keeping toucans as pets. He claims to be rescuing his animals despite the fact that toucans are too rare for some average joe to adopt as a rescue.What do you mean by that statement ?People who own yet condemn exotic pets?
This is common with private animal ownership. I've seen tons of people in the herp community that will say: "You shouldn't own [species] because it's way too advanced." And then they'll list several reasons why they're too difficult for most people, but then they'll own them because they've deemed themselves good enough to own the species.
One of my favorite examples of this is someone I met on Discord that owned a Savannah Monitor and Asian Water Monitor. He'd always tell people that they shouldn't own monitors because they don't do well in captivity and are way too difficult for most people. But then he'd seek out more monitor species to own. He'd constantly shut people down and belittle them when they'd bring up monitors. (Both of his monitors have died. The Savannah escaped its enclosure and was missing for several days, then they found it dead. I'm not sure why the Asian Water died, I just heard that it died from one of the people that still talked to the person.)
