A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

I gave a clouded leopard a Christmas tree and this is what happened 😍

When you have an itchy spot, why not use a stick? Puffins use tools!

@alanaaewilcox @Newman_lab @brynn_varcoe We just tried it not too long ago and thought it was pretty great!

[Christarin Dilkumar @ChristarinD]

@Newman_lab @brynn_varcoe I'm so glad you liked it! Just a thank you because it's 'bean' a great year 😉

#AnneDagg was celebrated at the #UniversityofGuelph with the inception of the #AnneDaggSummerResearchScholarship. Christarin Dilkumar was honored with the award. This scholarship is essential to empower the learning of the next generation of female scientists.

We've moved from the field to the lab, stay tuned for some exciting results from @ChristarinD's undergraduate research thesis on @ALUSCanada sparrows. #ornithology #WomenInSTEM

[Amy Newman (she/her) @Newman_lab]

Where will you be Friday at 12pm? We'll be joining forces with the tenacious & inspiring spirit of @GretaThunberg with a walkout @uofg at 11am for the #ClimateStrike at #Guelph City Hall 12pm. #ClassIsCancelled on #FridaysForFuture #GreenNewDeal

Excellent article in BBC @WildlifeMag about wildlife selfies. Sharing photos can be really useful for conservation to raise awareness, if done responsibly - but too often it’s exploitative and dangerous. Follow the code!

My thoughts on the era of pseudo-naturalism in the realm of natural resources. Now this is normally not my usual behavior so I apologize for anyone that might be shocked but I really felt the need to tackle this topic, why? Continue down below and you will see. #ScienceTwitter

After a busy (HOT) day filled with nestlings at our @ALUSCanada farms sites, we stopped and picked some cherries on the way home to continue to support local farmers.

Happy #WorldSeabirdDay! Seabirds are incredible, covering all the oceans of the world. This waved albatross from the #Galapagos is the only equatorial albatross! What's your favorite seabird?

A young Arctic fox has walked across the ice from Norway's Svalbard islands to northern Canada, covering 3,506 km (2,176 miles) in 76 days. @NorskPolar produced a graph that shows how the fox made two breaks in her epic journey across northern Greenland. https://t.co/2yrWEjzFzE

I LOVE VULTURES!
Think about how much disease you DON’T have to deal with simply because vultures are eating. Cholera? They eat that. Anthrax? No problem.

Nests, nests and (hopefully) more nests! @ChristarinD and I were able to find four Savannah sparrow nests today at @ALUSNorfolk farms. #ornithology

[Christarin Dilkumar @ChristarinD]

Sometimes the best way to learn is to leave the nest and try it yourself. @brynn_varcoe and I are lucky to have @Newman_lab as a mentor while we learn the ins-and-outs of mist netting, banding, and dissecting savannah sparrows (and seeing a few other species that stop in).
