If I put a white pigeon in the bottom right, I win
Caught some strange guys over the weekend! This is a deer mouse. PSA!!! Be very careful handling some little guys because there may be possibilities of them carrying hantavirus!
I love shrews because they’re such strange little guys. They have the largest brain-to-body ratio of any vertebrate and some species can even be toxic. Anyway, give it up for these weird little guys!
Also, shoutout to anyone else that loves rodents and other strange little guys. Let’s be friends.
I once almost got hit by a car at night because I was trying to follow a juvenile opossum.
Naturalists have got to be one of the groups of people most susceptible to being tricked by the fae. Travellers these days are much less likely to follow a mysterious light or the smell of roast beef into the forest. Meanwhile, find me a naturalist who would not completely lose themself in pursuit of:
An unidentifiable bird call
A butterfly that's slightly off-color
An opossum with its head stuck in a yogurt tub
A really big woodpecker
Garlic snails are snails that smell like garlic, if you even care.
Anyways everyone should watch The Good Place
I am covered in hickies how am I supposed to be a respected scientist looking like this!?!
When you're sad, just remember that somewhere in the world is a cat that's sleeping in the sun that you might get to pet one day, or that maybe you'll see a really fluffy dog next time you go to the park, or maybe you'll get to see a fat squirrel doing something funny on your next walk. If you feel like giving up, just think about all the animals you'll miss if you're gone.
I study ecology and conservation and I love weird little guys!
