Unless you're talking about multiple species of deer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

True, same with fish and fishes. English is fun

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

The plural should clearly be meese.

Why is it bad when ants do it?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They run in that circle until they die because they're all following the one in front of them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can’t you redirect their focus by dropping something nutritious nearby?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You probably could and that might redirect their focus for a bit, but I would think if they've lost the scent/trail back to their hill (which is the original cause for the death spiral in the first place), they're permanently fubar'd, since they'll never find their way back unless by accident. It might just delay the inevitable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would assume you could redirect them to where the scent trail is present/stronger again, i.e. very close to their hill.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (9 children)

Circle of death! Rip circle ants.

They're just following the trail of pheromones ahead of them. It goes around in circles so they'll just walk and walk until they die of exhaustion.

Never heard about it so had to read up on it, it's as obscure as a rat king to me.

[–] funkless_eck 4 points 11 months ago (7 children)

rat kings are mostly fake though

[–] idegenszavak 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Current sience says it's very rare, but can happen naturally. There are multiple confirmed modern sightings.

[–] funkless_eck 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I did say "most," 1963, 2005 and 2021 are the only real ones I can find.

Compared to there being dozens in the 17th and 18th centuries

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I imagine we did more rat watching back then.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

RatTube. Where it's just, you watch a tube with rats in it.

Would like to know as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I believe they usually follow the trail of the ants walking infront of them so when they're walking in a circle they'll technically walk in a circle indefinitely.

I know about the ants, but what does it mean for deer?

You've heard of a cuddle puddle well this is a trample yo motherfucking ass circle. It doesn't rhyme but it's super effective.
