    ne1 ever picked up techniques from their pets.

    we now have 3 dogs and a cat but we also used to have ferrets. ironically we study chinese dog boxing as a grappling system at our school. but ferrets are some warriors of the animal kingdom they are related to the badger,wolverine, skunk,mongoose, family called mustelids, after watching these guys for a few years you can be inspired its like they know kung fu already. they are very playful but they play rough i have a 40 lb dog that was afraid to play with them, their speed , agility ,and cunning make them perfect to study. has ne1 else been inspired by the animal kingdom in their own home with pets?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?

    i used to have two goats, i used to watch them run up and down my flight of deck stairs like frigg'in cats playing tag, their agility is absolutely amazing. i also paid attention to how they sink the head into their shoulders for stability right before they crack you with their headbutts. i used to play push with the male goat... it was pretty fun, you can even punch them in the forehead and it doesn't fazed them. their horns are dangerous, especcially to small children... a goats method of playing and attention seeking can get you impaled or worse... personally though, i like to imitate the celestial heavens and all the wonders of the cosmos, comets, asteroids, solar winds, solarflares, planetary orbit trajectories, colliding planets, blackholes... transcends the whole animal style thingy...

    no

    Yellow labs aren't known for their human-mapping combat techniques. Nor are turtles... though turtles do look neat when they scrap.

    Well...my havanese is pretty good at the "death by licking" techniques. And although I've personally witnessed this type of attack on my "allergic-to-dog-saliva" husband... hives, not death, was the result.

    If I had neutral buoyancy, claws roughly as long as my head, no opposable thumbs, webbed feet and a shell to retract into I could get some awesome techniques from my brother's turtles...

    i have heard of giant alligator snappers in the deep south that can take an average hand off at the wrist... nice gripping techniques to mimic. patience, endurance, stamina... my brother is a certified scuba diver in maui where a common thrill practice is to grab the back of a 7 foot sea turtle and hitch a ride... don't mess with the turtles, they'll out live most species... i have also heard of turtle breathing techniques... seems like your understanding of the lessons to be learned from the turtle is rather limited.

    No, I just tend to look at a cigar and see... a cigar and not some magical hippy spiritual cigar entity.

    Likewise a turtle's bite, ability to hold it's breath and longevity are a result of it's genetics.

    Genetics is not a learnable trait.

    Thus my previous comments vis a vis the physical characteristics of a turtle.
