Cheat Codes For Interacting With Animals (r/AskReddit)

what are some cheat codes for interacting with certain animals a good smack to a mosquito kills the Miss Africa Axe body spray makes excellent bug spray seriously when I went to live with my grandparents in the countryside I forgot to bring a bug spray he had a lot of mosquitoes in the room so I just used Axe body spray to kill them all it doesn't give them a quick painless death though they convulse and have spasms like crazy dogs will defend their territory but will almost always avoid fighting if you find them outside their territory if you run into one on the street his policy will be not to bother you if you don't bother him if a dog is actually having a go at you it's because the only has something he owns or otherwise values in this situation don't just run away it's this instinct to chase you instead back away showing your side but not your rear this indicates that you're not interested in fighting him but that you're prepared to defend yourself if you have to for best results find something to shove in his mouth to block bites remember a wagging tail means excitement and the difference between playful excitement and dangerous excitement is in how stiff and straight the tail is while it works most caps don't like lots of eye contact because they see it as a sign of aggression some don't mind but it depends how to masticated they are if you're trying to get a cab to come to you glance at their rise then look away this is also why caps always go to the person who's allergic or dislikes them do you think your ignoring them by not looking at them they think you're friendly with horses you can blow gently into their nostrils it's supposedly horses for saying hi to other horses they like and if it likes it it will glow back and be chill have tried it a few times and they seem to like it but who knows its horses if attacked by a shark punch them firmly in the snout if that doesn't work poke em in the eye with your stump if you see a hippo run away if the horse is dead beating it won't do much good scratch a dog where its back legs can't reach keep scratching until its eyes begin to close then move to the stomach and hips their legs will start kicking automatically and it's hilarious also you will become that dog's best friend do not stand behind a black bear when he is backing up they have terrible blind spots and very poor insurance coverage leave giant birds the hell alone will you pet a pea-brained angry dinosaur no why they put ostriches emus Weir's etc in petting zoos is a mystery to me these guys can quickly injure you and there is no single quick tip in dealing with them rubbing your thumb and pointer finger together in a show me the money way gets animals attention cats fish lizards it's pretty neat grew up around a lot of animals so flies always jump essentially straight up and forward as you go to slap them and they are faster than you clap above them about six inches to compensate ever try to catch a frog same thing get behind them lean over and be ready to catch six inches to a foot ahead of them as they jump away if you need to pick up a turtle approach from the rear and grab it on the sides of its shell warning it will be on you and scratch while trying to reach around and bite you generally they can't might pass their front legs crabs are the same tactic approach from the rear and pinch in the center ear grab them by the butt they ll squirm and stretch but they can't get you always keep your hand on a horse so they know where you are goats head but to establish dominance / pecking order square up of them hold your ground and let them head but the heel of your boots they're going to hit pretty hard so be ready as you're essentially kicking them in the top of the head you won't hurt them they are literally designed for it when you don't budge they know who's boss I've done this since I was 8 or 10 but it's easier the bigger you are smaller Don thinks he's the boss coming after you / guests do what the pack leader does grab him by the scruff push his head down roll him and hold him by the neck bare your teeth from stare at him if he's still freaking you can hold him as long as necessary almost all of the time they stop immediately this is how dogs win fights kicking slash hitting slash smacking dogs is not something they understand and is just plain abusive and likely to make them even more aggressive doesn't work on big dogs too much potential to actually be heard in dog packs alpha reads first humans should eat first dog gets food after human dinner is over if you're feeding your dog before yourself you send quite a message cat claws only work one way if they are latched to your clothes or you pull them forward to release this is why cats can't climb down trees headfirst and get stuck on occasion snakes are easily distracted by motion wiggle the left hand far out while you grab the tail with the right and start walking away watch almost anyone working with snakes you'll see them do similar obviously avoid touching snakes at all costs unless you know what it is and what you're doing ever lose our hamster / Mouse take a steep bow low bucket and stack books around it like a little spiral staircase put some peanut butter on a cracker and a small dish of water in the bottom there'll be in there scratching to get out before you know it don't mess with birds any bird even Canaries just don't don't approach dear and similar horned wild animals generally they run away before you get the chance if they don't chances are they're guarding babies or territory they are very good guards if you can pick up a chicken hold its head under one of its wings then rock it like a baby for a minute then put it in the ground and it will be asleep you can also put them in a trance by holding their beak against the ground and drawing a line out from their beak with your finger when you let go if their head they just kind of stare at the ground with their head down dolphins love children crazy amounts so if you are going to go swimming with them or feed them bring a child when boxing with a kangaroo they usually lack the strategy to do more than interchange punching arms so you can easily use this to your advantage if you spray a spider with hair spray / deodorant then it won't be able to move that you can beat it to death easier with dogs always let them smell the back of your hand when you approach em never go straight for the pat on the head some dogs see this as a threat and will become aggressive letting them smell the back of the hand lets them know you're cool if a ferret tries to bite you scruff it like a cat does a kitten while gently supporting its bone hold it like that for long enough and it should settle and yawn will require repeating when patting dogs / cats try to scratch underneath the chin and work up instead of going straight for the over the head pass it makes you appear much more friendly and less dominant many rabbits will enjoy a patterned ahead scratch instead of being picked on but if you do best to have one hand around its shoulders and use the other to scoop it up from behind so you quickly have it on its back in your arms four paws up if done correctly and quickly enough they'll sort of just lie there looking half-asleep some prefer the Tuck its head right under your chin method so they feel supported everywhere i.e not only supporting legs but held around their side or sides their head and their back if you wriggle your fingers in front of an aquarium fish will swim to your worm-like hands birds have trust issues cockatoos can be very friendly if you have ones attention soft clicking / clucking noises and small head Bob's will often result in them dancing and imitating you be careful or they might land on your head or shoulders which has happened to me never ever put your hand out to a parrot unless you understand parrot body language or the birds handler is available when I have a Congo African Grey and she can break chicken bones with her beak never look at a parrot with bow eyes when a parrots belly feathers flutter they are very relaxed if a parrots head feathers are down but the rest of them are up you are in moderate danger if a parrots back feathers are up you are in great danger parrots are sneaky manipulative little buggers whatever they are doing bear in mind that it might be a trap yelling at a parrot will only make them yell back also they love drama if you yell at them they will repeat the behavior so that you will yell again never try to get near a herd of sheep in the wild because sheep dogs are quite protective that being said if you ever have to walk through a herd of confined sheep without making them shy away walk backwards through the herd they will calmly stream around both sides of you why because sheep are very stupid creatures if you cough loudly and the cow's ears don't twitch much it's a good sign that the heifer is concentrating on a good hand it's wise to come with a bluff or fold if you have a weak hand at this point note for a bull the answer is reversed if you cough loudly and the bulls ears don't twitch much it's a good sign that the bull is preparing to charge throw a peanuts at escoural he might get scared but then he will check it out and eat it throw peanuts closer and closer to you one at a time waiting for the squirrel to find each one and come back make a noise every time he picks up and eats the peanut eventually you can get the squirrel to take a peanut next to your hand without your hand moving keep making your sound and throw the peanut in front of you and hold it try not to get bit by the nervous Kuril works with other animals to treat animals like children they will simultaneously trust you and respect you treat children like adults every child wants validation and doing this teaches them their thoughts and feelings actually matter be socially awkward around adults because you are not sure how to scale this up further but realize it doesn't matter because most adults are too self-centered to notice and will like you because you listen to them ramble and the others are kind enough to notice what you're doing and respond appropriately cheat code for all social interactions I remember this one day when my friend came over to my house we were about 10 and we decided we would have some fun with my two dogs a st. Bernard and a husky we both tried to see if we could figure out dog language and see what certain words mean to dogs we got an otter PUD and a pen and we went and sat in front of my dogs we started saying random dog sounds to them such as whiff and bow-wow and off and stuff like that to see how they reacted I remembered they started running around and we said BRR Wow and they stopped dead in their tracks we looked at each other we mal new bow-wow meant stop another time we tried ARF and they started jumping up to us we mal knew ARF ment jump this carried on for so long and eventually we tried to peace words together to talk to the dogs in full sentences we thought we had finally figured out dog language now I think about it and have a chuckle but back then when we were 10 it was the most scientific thing ever late to the party as usual here are some things I've learned working at different zoos if you don't know an animal don't immediately reach for its face to pet it it will probably bite you I had this happen with camels Donst and caps a couple times elephants will hurt you on accident if you're not careful also they love food then there are some of them there just want to kill things / people one of my supervisors told me a story about an old circus elephant that would leave a small pile of food out for apps and then kill them when they came to eat it grr so pretty dumb but super alert any small changes will put them on high alert and make them pretty antsy the ones I worked with weren't very big on being pet we had one that would let you do it but you had to constantly feed her most big hoofs stock bongos elands gazelle et Cie are super skittish as they are prey animals so don't expect a peddler unless they've been trained slash hand-raised I hope this doesn't get buried cause it works and it's really cool if you see a herd of beer grazing in a field and you want to get close to them do not approach them like a hunter would eyes fixed on them and moving slow instead do what they do and keep your eyes on the ground milling in a zig-zag pattern while pretending to search the ground they'll think you're a grazer like them and not a threat of course the extremely cautious when you get close as anything threatening can turn the pack into a stampede of hooves and [ __ ] eggs I don't advise this little but it is a cheat code that I've seen work if you do end up being attacked by a dog offer your forearm do this because not only will you be able to control the position of the dog so it doesn't bite a more dangerous area but if the dog has latched on use your free arm to push the back of its head into the button arm while pushing your button arm further back into the dog's mouth this will make the dog let go when humans approach hippogriffs a proper etiquette must be maintained to avoid danger tip aggress are intensely proud creatures and an individual must show proper respect by bowing to them and waiting for them to bow in return before approaching eye contact should be maintained at all times without a single blink the Hippogriff should be allowed to make the first move as this is polite if offended it may attack HIPPA grass are tamable but only by experts in their care such as Rubeus Hagrid care of magical creatures professor and gamekeeper at Hogwarts [Music]
