I met a beekeeper recently who told me about how, on occasion, ants and bees live with, or at least tolerate the existence of, each other. Specifically, I was told ants went into beehives and no conflict occured.This was quite exciting to me and I want to learn more about it, but looking online for studies/reference of this symbiotic relationship left me lost. I only found a few beekeepers asking the same question, and people replying by saying that it is impossible. Any help? Parameci ( talk) 19:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
I believe rabbits in the wild can live together, including in a hole in the ground. I've seen Youtube videos where people pull out rabbits from a hole in the ground 1 by 1. But how does it work when a rabbit has to crap, do they do it in the same place where they sleep? Do they have some decency to not do it where others sleep together? When the den is eventually filled up with too much crap do the rabbits then just move to find another den or sleeping spot?
I'm somewhat wondering this about frogs too. I asked a reptile professor yesterday if frogs can live together, they can. But 2 frogs will only live together if they grew up together or looked for a home together, otherwise even frogs become territorial. And it doesn't seem likely frogs and toads ever live together in the wild. Though the reptile professor not all frogs try to live in the same place, some are migrant. So do frogs that live together piss and crap in the same place where they sleep? Or do they have some selectivity or a sense of decency, assuming they sleep in a hoe or some place. In any events I already find out cats and turtles for example are independent, they all live solo as adults, with some narrow exceptions. Odd questions indeed ;0. 170.76.231.162 ( talk) 19:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC).
