Here we see something very rare, biofluorescence in Tasmanian Devils.

looks like a creature that lives on the Avatar planet.

@Zookeeper Gabe does your zoo have these?

 

[jefferz]

@Cpt Migraine are Goodieds big over there? From what I understand they're a lot more popular over there than they are in the USA.

Biofluorescence is showing up in a lot more mammals, basically we never thought to look before. In the past couple of years I’ve seen it myself on flying squirrels, short tail opossums and an article came out a few months ago about platypus.

edit. @jefferz we don’t, we have agouti and one is super friendly but no capybara.

Agouti are cool. I saw them in Tayrona but the best experience was disrupted by tourists being loud and scaring it away. I get it, but for about 5 seconds it was just hanging out near the path.

Aw man, I forgot to post this one this year.

It's a living community.. some of the more vocal hobbyists are about it..

Was just looking through pics from the summer and I was reminded to look into something. I'm sure you guys can point me in the right direction.



So I've been seeing Wood Turtles near my house for years and saw a bunch this summer. Turns out they're pretty rare. Should I call someone to let them know they live there? I'm in upstate NY. Catskills. I was thinking maybe the Cornell Cooperative Extension. Any recommendations on what to do?

I've been meaning to but kinda forgot about it but now there's a little pressure as they wanna put a new powerline right where I see them all the time. Theres powerlines there already they're just adding more cause hipsters are fleeing nyc so they gotta work on the power grid here. Thanks in advance.

Yes.. you should absolutely report the population to someone.. we have a board of agriculture but i don't know if that's even a thing where you are..

You should probably mention plans for construction as well..

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Telephone for Bureau of Wildlife: 518-402-8883. Tell them you've got a local population of wood turtles and you're concerned about how the proposed construction could negatively impact them.

That’s awesome, I love ol red legs one of my favorite turtle species let alone natives. Definitely not a common sight anywhere so that’s really great.
Someone at SUNY may be studying them, so may be worth contacting the college.

Cool theres a couple right in the area. Actually my neigbor is an educational farm for the SUNY in town and I see them alot near their pastures. They put in a fence not too long ago for a new grazing area for cows and ever since I've been seeing snapping turtles in the spring all up against it trying to get to where they're used to going I guess. That really bothers me too. Ill snap some pics later today of the area.

Going to look into it when I get home. Also gonn call the Cornell Cooperative Extension cause I think they'd at least be able to tell me what to do if they aren't the exact place I'm looking for. They seem to be involved in all aspects of land and environment stuff here.

I kinda feel guilty for not calling anyone already. I've been seeing them for years and have known that they're rare for like the last 2 years. Like I saw one on at least 10 different occasions this past summer.

Badger would still accept open weight fight and fuck it up though
