Reply to Are there a lot more diseases for land animals than sea creatures? If yes, why? by Bored_Survivor
Aquatic species definitely have their own issues. Even looking at a small subset like aquariums, one sick fish can wipe the entire thing out. Unfortunately, though, any medications we can use in that hobby tend to be broad spectrum, and many of the diseases are also poorly understood. There are a few that if your tank gets it, best nuke the whole thing from orbit, because you’re not getting rid of it easily.
These diseases do exist in the wild as well, obviously- but aquariums are an easily visible example.

Reply to comment by melodien in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos
How would you categorize sheep like a Shetland that you can “roo”, or basically peel the fleece off?

This is like Martha Speaks, gone horribly wrong.
