Lol definitely a Mara and sometimes called a cavy. I’ve worked with them before, some are really personable and I had one that liked to pee on ladies shoes.

I'm thinking (hoping) that the moose sprang from the woods or the shoreline as the boat was moving upstream; in which case probably safer for the boater to keep moving than to stop only to have the moose realize who's who in the grand scheme of things, but I totes get your driftnot a fan of that guy getting so close to the moose like that.
Then you better not watch this video then.not a fan of that guy getting so close to the moose like that.
Gorgeous mantis, thanks for sharing. All we really get where I am is the invasive Chinese mantis. Although it’s more naturalized nowadays.Finally find an empusa pennata in the wild yesterday. Maybe on her 3-4 mold, halfway to her adult and winged form, with an awesome light grey almost white color. The little fucker was quite energic and wouldn't stand still so I couldn't have my phone focus on it's little frame to make an ok photo.

Also found an adult male mantis with and interesting color : it was "yellow", but usually their yellow color is pale to blend in the dry summer grass ; this one was of a more saturated yellow, almost orange. Never seen one like that before.

I would like to see idiots like this get the max fine available.
Is there a general rule you know of when an invasive species that has taken root is no longer seen as invasive and is accepted as part of the natural fauna?Gorgeous mantis, thanks for sharing. All we really get where I am is the invasive Chinese mantis. Although it’s more naturalized nowadays.
That’s a grasshopper mouse and they normally prey on scorpions and other inverts. Tough little rodents.Hahaha that is awesome.
I just hope we do not find it was staged, in that they kept forcing the two in to contact so they would fight when they generally, naturally might always walk the other way in an encounter.
Gabe do you know if scorpion would be on that mouse diet list? Or might a scorpion be threatening the mouses nest (young) in the way snakes do and we sometimes see mice fight back and fend off or kill a snake?
Nice. So the honey badger of the rodent world who DNGAF.That’s a grasshopper mouse and they normally prey on scorpions and other inverts. Tough little rodents.

I mean almost all animals and insects migrated from some where else at some point. There is always a give and take between species established and new comers trying to fit in or take over.
