Are there hardworking mammals?
When you think of busy animals, you think of ants or bees that work all day long.
But are there also mammals known for their diligence and persistent work? A true hard worker, the antithesis of the sloth?

Are you for or against wolves in Germany? Please explain why.
They're crawling all over the kitchen floor. What kind of insects are these? Why are they even there, because of the weather? How do I get rid of them?
Greetings and Salutations, In the last lecture we had a little quiz where you could use colors to determine the concentration of osmotically active substances in a hypertonic environment. The majority chose the option "Yellow: In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of osmotically active substances in the environment is lower than in the cell." In…
What would be a nice way for mushroom pickers to greet each other? In other groups (Angler: Good fishing! Hunter: Good hunting! Miner: Good luck! Skydiver: Good luck!) there are comparable greetings. As far as I know, there is no special greeting between mushroom pickers yet. Does anyone have an idea?
I think around 4000 BC
Hello folks! My budgie injured his foot last night (I suspect he fell off the perch). Unfortunately, he can no longer grip the perch with his foot and limps when he walks on the ground. Since he falls off the perch every now and then, I've put him in a carrier. He's also quite old,…
There is the beautiful saying:
“The squirrel feeds hard”
So I’d say persistence and diligence in food search. It would be the counterpart to bee and ant.
Bubbles that build on their dam are also persistent and tireless.
What makes a big difference, and therefore probably also has taken care of the formation of this association of bee/ameise and diligence, that it is a state insect, in which the individual members are only responsible for a certain “work” and do nothing else, that is, for example, do not have to worry about reproduction, but only and exclusively protect the construction, raise food, feed the larvae etc. In mammals, there’s something like that only in the mulles, otherwise in no way. So they have more tasks to distribute their energy and cannot afford to fix themselves for a long time only on a single thing like nesting or food search, otherwise the whole rest remains on the track.
What you call a diligent serves only and solely for the purpose of survival, the animals only care for eating and for breeding so for the preservation of their species, and that does the bee or ant just like an monkey or a lazy animal, and that does not only exist in mammals, but of course also in reptiles or birds, fishing and all other species of animals, or do you think the boil?
It’s just feeding.
Only man kills for low motives.
This has never been so clear to me.
I think that the FS or the FS already thinks the proverbial sense or the way of speech “feeling like a bee”. The fact that the animals, whether insect, mammal, bird or reptile in free wildlife, do not fall into the mouth is actually clear. This, however, does not alter the fact that we are now assigning certain characteristics to certain animals – smart like a fox, scary like a rabbit, fast like a horse, etc.
Smart like the mouse that escapes the fox, brave as the haeze that flicks in the saucer instead of running away, fast like a rabbit or bear – both faster like horses…
Anthropocentric prescriptions serve more moralization and what do I know child education as the zoological description…
Speech species also have nothing to do with zoological descriptions. These notes have grown culturally. Their roots have been admired or feared in the pre-Christian period and the animals that were worshipped at that time. And the bear has not been brought into contact with speed, but with strength, the fox with belly, the snake with cunning, the raven with death or the other world, the eagle with pride, the owl with wisdom etc. That doesn’t mean that a mouse can’t be smart, but an animal that ruins your supplies doesn’t connect with positive properties per se.
It also has no zoological background that the stork is considered a symbol of happiness and stands for children’s blessings. The bird should not care about it, but it is part of our Central European and German culture. If you go to India, China or to the North American Indians, some of them combine some other domestic animals with the same characteristics.
Such censuses and fables do not raise the claim to be correct and yes, there is always a morality of the history in which the animals appear symbolically for human character traits.
The word “flesty” is a definition that we give specifications/frame.
Maybe your ant isn’t diligent, but the individual isn’t efficient?
A lazy animal also survives many years and is not as “flesh” as an ant.
The term diligent is totally anthropocentric thought…
If you really want to apply this to animals, this also applies to any kind that successfully survives, raises boy, meets winter preparations, puts supplies, builds, walks and…
Beaver, marmots, forest mouse, wolf, fox, caribou, elephant, bats, rabbits, roof, and and…
Ask a mouse in a bird box, which she filled with acorns, the one and three more…
How different can one call it diligent?
Or the beaver with his dam, the ‘nose or the roof with his construction…
By the way, with birds, just the same thing: count how often meiseneltern feed in the box, how many acorns a squirrel is hiding, how many mosquitoes a swallow or a wall sailor has to collect, how many wings a bird has to make…
I find peanuts and nude mullet are diligent but in general all mammals do as much as possible to survive
All mammals are diligent, because they ensure that their brood is raised and they do not starve, even storage like something in squirrels is at the end precisely this purpose – is also the case with bees and ants. Man is a special feature that hunts and collects more regularly than he needs …
Yes of course there are diligent animals, some even.
The Feldhamster.
He sleeps from October to April. That would be the equivalent of half-day work.
The only animal that works without necessity is man!
I wouldn’t let the “without necessity” stand. Even the super-rich must at least manage his fortune. And somehow move the body, love the fitness. And maintain relationships. And then he might want to change the world to leave something to the afterworld.
Beaver would think of me first.
Squirrels, hamsters, mice… Everything a camp for the winter builds up.
Then all the animals that build a building or hunting animals. From beaver to rabbit to fox etc.
Because rotten animals usually don’t survive long.
yes, there is also
moles! ðŸ˜
Nutmeg
I have the suspicion that they’re sleeping down there a lot. You just don’t see her when she’s lazy, just when you make a hill.
