Nett hier - aber waren Sie schon mal in ich_iel

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ich war bei ich_iel, es ist ein schöner Ort. Aber wenn Sie Störe wollen, echte Störe, kommen Sie auf Turtle Island (nordamerikanischer Kontinent) vorbei. Wir haben sogar Bier. :-D

[–] tmjaea@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You had me at Bier

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rename it to Stör Island and I might come over.

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As you know, I am in charge of these things, so Stör Island it will be from now on.

Honey, pack up your stuff and get the kids. We're moving.

You can actually have more fun with sturgeon than the Germans!Sturgeon still live naturally throughout North America but are extinct in Germany. They only get to experience the glory of these dinosaur fish through pictures, we have them in our rivers and lakes. They're one of our most interesting freshwater species as well, check em out if you enjoy learning about nature!

Actually, there are sturgeons again in Germany!

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are some baby sturgeons that Germany hopes will result in a stable population. However it will be decades before anyone can tell if that was successful. That isn't at all comparable to the Americas where somewhat stable populations have persisted. We're talking about creatures that live longer than humans and reach sexual maturity later. There is a very real chance that predators and invasive species will prevent or otherwise complicate any reintroduction efforts.

To say there are wild sturgeon in Germany when there hasn't been a known wild birth since 1964 and the few they have in their waterways were all captive bred releases from caviar farms is disingenuous.

I love how in those memes Dr Han is universally drawn as an absolute chad

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are aware that they were reintroduced?

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My initial google-fu did not indicate as much and your comment made me research as to why. These animals take decades to reach sexual maturity and the last time a wild sturgeon was known to have reproduced in Germany was in 1964. So while they have been reintroduced, no one can say for sure yet if that reintroduction has been successful.

The WWF indicates a return in France and Germany since 2020 of adults looking to reproduce.

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
