Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

This is actually only part true. During the night, as the temperature in their environment drops, most species leave their den or web and seek out the mouth of any nearby sleeping mammals to sleep in, as it will help retain heat. In tests, it has been observed that up to thousands or tens of thousands of spiders will travel up to 10 miles to willingly climb into the open mouth of a sleeping human.
That tens of thousands number is always brought up, but it's an average that is affected by the actions of Spiders Georg, an outlier who should not be counted.
Thank you for the reminder I need to get a new supply of duct tape.

Mantises live solitary lives, and are cannibalistic. I assume it's more out of indifference than hate, but it's close to what you're looking for.
They are so cannibalistic. I once hatched an egg case in a terrarium and they ate their brothers and sisters almost immediately after hatching. There were baby crickets in there and they did not care for them in the slightest as the mantid population fell like a cobalt state sanctioned murder cube falls on a head.
Oh wow, I totally read the parent comment as ‘manatees’, and was like, “Odd, never heard of that, but okay.”
…
Then a dash of, “Holy shit, how’s this guy keeping manatees in a terrarium?”
I am a fan of large aquaria, but hatching a cannibalistic manatee egg case in one sounds like a terrible way to become the guy in the math problem with a cart full of X cabbages and Y heads of lettuce if I bought an equal amount of each and spent $154.26 with an 8% tax if cabbages cost $2.23 and lettuce cost $3.98.

The crickets aren't competition for the crickets.
I would live like that. If someone says hi we fight and the strongest eat the weakest. It's only fair
My kids have a book called "solitary animals," explicitly framed as introverts in nature, and from what I remember of it, it mentions pumas, octopuses, sloths, and eagles.
I'm sorry but the correct plural is octopedants.
Weird, I really figured the plural was sloths, but you learn something every day.
No, that's what you call people who correct people who use the wrong plural for octopus
Ohhh nice one
Can we stop equating introversion with anti-social?
Octopi are mostly solitary I think.
Possibly the one thing that is preventing them from creating culture/civilisation with how smart they are. Maybe they'll get their shit together when we're gone. Planet of the apes is too played out.
First they need to develop a language that allows them to transcend time.
The second Children of Stuff- I think it's Children of Ruin- talks about far-future octopod civilization. Interesting stuff. The whole trilogy is super good and I recommend it.

I think snow leopards only ever meet up if they're dtf. Otherwise they keep large swaths of land to try and guard against any others stepping near their space. Like, hundreds of acres.
Ditto with red pandas
.... I honestly have issues imagining what an aggressive red panda looks like.
I have no doubt that it exists, nature is fuckin scary, my brain just can't deal with that.
Polar bears except when mating, and even then they still hate any offspring that aren't their own. Most big cats like tigers, panthers, and jaguars. Tons of predators are solitary.
Tons of animals that are solitary should fit the criteria. Hates might not be a completely accurate description, but if they are solitary and territorial then it would be close enough.
I swear I'm not a besserwisser but I recently learned something I found annoyingly interesting and I'm sharing it hoping you will too:
Panthers aren't a species but usually either a jaguar or leopard if black or a collective name for all large cats belonging to the Pantera family.
I was going to put in mountain lion and figured someone would go "lions hunt in packs!" and tried to use an alternate name. Forgot panther is also used for jaguars!
People call Cougars "Panthers" also, but they're not Pantera family.
Randy.
Randy is (was? Not sure if he's still alive) a goat on a friend's farm. Fucker hated everyone and everything and would have to be kept in his own area. Did you know goats can spit? I didn't until I met Randy. Friend told me Randy killed a cat once. Not sure why they didn't just turn him into dinner.

Based on rigorous scientific research conducted on my deck, chipmunks do not like other chipmunks, but in a really adorable way.
The movies lied to you.
Allow me to introduce you to the Squonk.
Surely this was supposed to link to skunks.
No, squonk, with an Earth q. Behold.
This concept of squonk confuses and infuriates us!

Wolverines are pretty solitary animals
Do I count?
You count the most, using your fingers and toes.
Orangutans are solitary for most of their lives
Betta fish - just make sure to give them a few gallons of water in which to swim, a filter for their poo and a heater in their tank to keep them comfortable year round.
It's mostly only the males that don't get along with each other. Given enough space, females can be peacefully kept together in sorority tanks. Similarly, a trio or harem (i.e. one male with multiple females) is typically safe as well and the fish get along just fine, given a large enough tank and appropriate stocking.
Also, most reputable breeders and sources of information will tell you that 5 gallons / 19 liters is the minimum suggested tank size for a happy and healthy fish in optimal conditions. While they can certainly survive in much smaller bodies of water, it's not ideal and in some cases it's actually harmful.
