Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

This is pretty typical. After running down their prey, they simply hang out for a minute or two to catch their breath. Usually, the chase has been long enough to exhaust both parties, so the prey just sits there for a moment, completely worn out, waiting for death.

I don't know why you got the downvote? But yes that can happen and that's an ancient tactic that humans use as we are one of the most efficient endurance runners. All the things I've said just now, I learned from reddit:)

Stick a human on a bike and you've got the most efficient long-distance machine ever.

I was under the impression that we are the best endurance runners of all animals.

[–]Tuckmo 6 points7 points ago

You may be right. Either way I am a disgrace to the human race as a runner.

[–]IHateShorts 1 point2 points ago

Actually you might be shocked. Provided you could track your prey. Speed isn't really a necessity. The idea is that nothing can compare to our endurance.

[–]Tuckmo 0 points1 point ago

Tracking could be a problem. Damnit Tuckmo, we gotta get it together.

I tend not to question the downvotes. No matter how correct or interesting a comment may be, there's always some person out there who will dislike it for some reason. Maybe the truth of it was depressing, and they wanted to send it to the basement.

Well it looks a little Photoshoped in the second to last pic...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's not. This was posted before with a link to the photographer's original album. It ended the way you see it.

Fair enough, just looked a little odd to me.

Whales will kill for the sheer fun of it.

I'm a whale biologist.

Boy were you ever needed on a pier in NYC in the 90's.

Any good at blowhole golf ball extraction?

[–]rable 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Personally I hate whales. I was on that pier. I came out to watch the foul beast die. Then some balding jerk went and ruined the whole thing.

Did you happen to catch that special during shark week where two orcas killed a great white for a tour boat? I gained a new respect for whales that evening.

[–]Say_Ocean 1 point2 points ago

Whale that's just horrible.

They were tasting him, obviously.

I've seen the pictures before so I know what was going to happen, but the "WRONG" image just made me crack up.

They would keep it around until they became hungry. No need for running.

[–]EarsOfRage 0 points1 point ago

Maybe they got hungry after playing with it? Boom, insta-toy/food combo. Like a happy meal Transformer that's made of hamburg and fries.

Clearly, they were hungry.

There's more to the wilderness than those few square feet.
