Asking for full bilingual to take water samples from remote areas and drop them off at a box. Ehhh..pour quoi? Peut-être que les loutres sont francophones?

Sometimes I forget about whatever is happening w/ his skeleton until I see his back legs or face in profile..

To Most Canadian Conservation Organizations: Student opportunities are great, but if you limit your surveys and volunteer positions to people under 21* you can’t act surprised when adult engagement is almost nonexistent. And uh, they’re the ones voting/ holding your potential funding.

Record shots of the Kittiwake in my harbour this week. #kentbirding #birds

Here's some art. Abolish ICE.

New flower: Pinguicula emarginata x moctezumae, HC C! Quite similar in appearance to A, which is the only other one to bloom so far, but with slightly larger, and slightly more veined petals. #pinguicula #butterwort #carnivorousplant #plants #botany #flowers #strangeplants

Do striped hyenas have a sweet tooth? Yes, yes they do. Here's the first record of honey consumption by a hyena, caught on a camera trap in Kenya: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧪🌍🐾🍯

Heard a really loud noise on the porch where our little birdfeeder is hanging and was terrified it was a stray cat or something. It was one of the turkeys.. on the railing. Sadly no evidence but footprints in the snow and me being wildly confused. Keeping a camera around tomorrow.

Fascinating. "In the open areas of Mount Murik at an elevation of 2100m, the upper pitchers of the wild Nepenthes Tantaculata (carnivorous plants in the climbing stage) have inward-growing hairs on their wings. The length of these hairs is so remarkable that they can actually interlock!" #nature

What a strange tongue the Albatross birds have...

Super cool by art Kai Gietzen for today's article by Lauren Schneider: Neuro’s ark: Understanding fast foraging with star-nosed moles. With MacArthur genius Kenneth Catania for @thetransmitter.bsky.social: www.thetransmitter.org/neuros-ark/n... #sciart

My half of a trade with @greybriar.art this was a fun challenge. trying poses that are a little more difficult for me and not just side shots lol.

Time for another shout out! Femmearchist makes fantastic human rights wearable statement pieces and deserves some followers. ✊🏼✨ I know a lot of you enjoy great statement pieces (especially with critters and florals!) #art #anarchy #humanRights #resistance

I think it's important for people to learn what species they have locally so they can be excited about them and feel some responsibility for their well-being. Since we as a species have largely taken over the planet, it seems like the right thing to do: make sure other species can still live here.🐡🐍

Gasp... Gofernon, my beloved #woolhaven

One of the things I'm looking forward to is this personal scavenger hunt-esque list of the species we're hoping to find this year. It's a way to keep us outdoors and grounded in these current times AND in multiple habitats. #sciart #naturalist

I have finally reached a point where I feel confident drawing/stitching all day again (though will be extra careful about pain and setting for a while) Priority one is wrapping up paid ttrpg and pet portrait work by the 14th.

Sometimes a walk on Dartmoor is a bit like passing through a curtain in reality that leads directly into a fairy tale. www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

TIL that Lipedema is now classified as a type of connective tissue disorder, and also ~50% of people with lipedema are hypermobile Also lipedema can result in painful nodules that are apparently commonly misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia #NEISvoid

The votes are in, and these two crowd favorites of the Beastie and Bone Patreon exclusive illustrations are coming soon as limited-edition 11"x14" prints: I ENDURE (horseshoe crab) and WILD ONE (radioactive Hagerman horse fossil). #curio #paleoart #fossil #livingfossil #horse #sciart

Anois teacht an Earraigh / 1st of Feb, 1st day of Spring, let's fucking go

Went for a long walk to look at some snowy trees

Watching them weigh chicks on webcam in NZ and oooooh am I drawing albatross tomorrow.

relevant to many of yalls interests.

Today Feb 1st is #NationalAxolotlDay 🎉💙 Critically Endangered, #Axolotls once inhabited interconnected wetlands and lakes in the Mexican highlands. Spanish settlers drained the waterways destroying their habitat which is now Mexico City. #AnimalDayCal #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #AnimalArt

Lmao that latest Epstein leak. First: Vicious transphobia aside... If an adult human person ever looked me in the eye and called it a "pum-pum" I'd become the Joker immediately. Secondly: Sorry for your loss sir I guess

We had some wild weather last night. Noodle enjoyed the snow show.❄️

Trying to be social , even online, when you have that type of 'tism with the oversensitive injustice rage and are fine tuned to passive aggression feels impossible. Even if it has nothing to do with me if the vibes get sour it will consume me until I see myself off stage left.

But you can still keep going! 🐟 #illustration #sunfish #animalart #artsky

Tiny butterworts be butterworting 💜

I've never actually shared this drawing. I started it a while ago now, but I've and other things took over, but today I decided to get back to working on it. Western lowland gorilla baby in mum's hands, photographed at Bristol Zoo in 2012 (I think). Coloured pencils on black paper.

We could all use a little baby Bao right now. 💙

I never got around to reposting my Weird Duck Time comic this year! Also, unrelatedly, today is a good day to help out at standwithminnesota.com

I AM DISABLED, COMMUNICATE WITH ME is a classic

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

Apparently the AI bros are now calling real artists’ work “Pencilslop”. Whatever. Have some slop:

She is not allowed to sit on the table with the humidifier bc she's obsessed with spilling water yet somehow Rube Goldberg-ed a system involving pushing a book off the shelf to knock my guitar over to push the cow skull high enough to tip the table and spill it. Not even she comprehends her genius.

Chickadees are a pretty good symbol for community defense; they're rooted in their locality (don't migrate), they indicate resources to migratory birds, they warn of threats ("chickadee-dee-dee-dee") and they dgaf about the cold

Poor people having to crawl under the house in this weather to fix a frozen pipe next door. It is very hard to act as normal when your floor is loudly cursing in french.

If you see this post your birb art 🐦 Totally normal bird art.

I just painted this 3D printed Massasauga Rattlesnake neonate (notice the little button instead of a rattle). It's so cute and small but still kind of mean looking. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐍

Yeehaw February weather here we go

Someone on Reddit about a week ago made a size comparison between Arctotherium angustidens and a southern elephant seal. I can’t speak to its exact accuracy, but imagine if in the Arctodus sequence in PhP Ice Age the sea cow had fangs.
