Iirc elephants too. Megafauna is either very good fighting cancers, living with them (no metastization) or completely immune to it. That's called Peto's paradox, though recently, there was a study that claimed cancer rates are higher than we thought: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/feb/bigger-animals-get-more-cancer-defying-decades-old-belief

Yeah, I reread my comment and it can be interpreted either way, but it is definitely the second one.
There are also cats that wouldn't even catch a cold, but the issue is mostly with either stray cats or those that are allowed out.

Not as big as they look and less aggressive than other spiders. Possibly the spiders described in this thread are Tigrosa (like in my picture, though that one is obese).
Fun fact: Lycosidae spiders initially had the name of Tarantulas, though that name felled out of use (except on some of the originating languages) in favor of what we know as tarantulas (Theraphosidae/Myalomporhs).
Mediterranean wolf spiders (Lycosa Tarantula) were called Tarantulas, as they were thought they originated from Taranto (a southern place in Italy's boot).
What did people in Taranto do when you got bit by a "Tarantula"? What every sensible person would do: Quickly gather musicians and dance fervently a Tarantella to counter the venom!You have probably heard before the music, as it was prominently featured in The Godfather's wedding.
Side-note: Wolf spiders very seldom bite humans, if they bite is sometimes a dry bite (without venom) and when they bite with venom it is mostly harmless to humans and stings like a wasp[2]. Like with other spiders, most bites are misreported.
Side-note[2]: I am unaware of any Italian folklore dance for wasp stings. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 weeks ago:
And anyone in a field related to studying living creatures in nature hate pesticides/herbicides.
Because pesticides harm everything that eats the thing that eats the thing that eats the thing that eats the pesticide. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 weeks ago:

That's them filtering VPN ips. If you try jumping to a lesser used server, you'll probably see the site working.
Recently, most internet sites and especially those relying in cloudflare are filtering VPNs, and often blacklisting IPs just because it hurts their bottom-line.
