    I mean, maybe it’s not out of the question that the dog could still be around. Most dogs get neutered young too. 16-18 years old is definitely an old dog but not unheard of for a small breed. Jack Russells are no slouch for longevity.

    But yeah almost certainly they are gone

    This however is completely ignoring the fact that the dog was photoshopped in and could be from really any time



  • A lot of biological and other scientific terms are actually Latin or some mix of it. Bili means “Bile”. Sources say “verd” in this case comes from French verd an old way to say green (Modern: vert/verte), but in any case the French words still derive from Latin viridis.

    Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, and a few other minor languages are all descendants of Latin collectively called the Romance Languages. Speakers of one can often understand a lot of any other of the languages or Latin. Not completely mind you, but enough to get some meaning. Spanish speakers can understand a lot of written Portuguese (but not so much spoken due to pronunciation differences), Italian and Spanish speakers can almost have a conversation spoken or written. Portuguese/Italian/Spanish speakers will have a harder time with French though, they will recognize many written words but not enough to really call it totally understandable, and almost nothing spoken. Etc, etc.
