what is your all time favorite predator? and prey animal?
Idk if I have any absolute favorites, but I have some I think are funny. For predators, I think archer fish are pretty funny because, like, wdym a fish learned how to nerf its prey? For prey, I have an unwavering obsession with beavers.
Also, I’m scared of seagulls because I had to fist fight one for my food once and I lost.
Spotted skunks do handstands when trapped or startled! Here’s a skunk I drew 🦨
Garlic snails are snails that smell like garlic, if you even care.
If I put a white pigeon in the bottom right, I win
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.

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
The unken reflex is a posture that toxic amphibians will take to show off their bright colors. It’s their way of saying “stay back! I’m dangerous!”
In California, the California Newt (Taricha torosa) will do the unken reflex to show off their bright orange bellies. These newts produce tetrodotoxin.
I study ecology and conservation and I love weird little guys!
