I’ve seen bears in Avon too 😂 My field sites are so small but I’ve seen two adults and a TON of scat so there’s definitely a healthy bear population there!

A great example of showcasing how most of the times wildlife exists in our space but we dont notice. More often than they see us and hide or stand still waiting for us to leave.

A great article on the increasing # of encounters with rattlesnakes in California, including info from @HylaCrowe's research!

I mis-clicked on one of my 150 open tabs and it happened to be a tab that's been open since 2019 with a paper that has a solution to the exact research problem I've been puzzling over today. This is the moment I've been waiting for and I've decided to never close any tabs again

Thrilled to be giving my first ever conference talk in my own home town at #NENHC2022 🐍

Love this place especially when it’s wet. LA River after the rain.

“The deer can be wild out here” is the strangest euphemism for “You are a woman alone outside & I’m concerned for your safety” I’ve ever heard 😵🦌

Are you ready for something AMAZING for Day #26 of #PitviperBeautyPageant? Behold this:

11 lb. female Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (that's a 13-gallon action packer!)

She dropped a 2 lb. 💩!

She had eaten an enormous 🐇!

I'm sooooo proud of @breeput for winning the 2021 Semlitsch award! This is huge! Bree was an undergrad in my lab 15 years ago and is doing the most wonderful work. Bravo, Bree! #JMIH2021 @HerpLeague

I didn’t #WorldSnakeDay the last tweet so I’ll do a medley of a couple of the snakes from 2021! (Prairie Rattlesnake, Eastern Black-tailed Rattlesnake, Everglades Ratsnake, and Everglades Racer)

[Anton Sorokin @Anuranton]

A medley of snake images for #WorldSnakeDay. Often mysterious, always interesting - some are as vibrant as the most resplendent birds whereas others are incredibly cryptic. They play many roles - The world would be a poorer place without them. Appreciate snakes.

[SturgeonBayPP @SturgeonBayPP]

At Sturgeon Bay, it’s always snake day. It’s rattlesnake mating season and the males snacked are on the move. Rattlesnakes don’t deserve a bad rap! Please brake 4 snakes! #WorldSnakeDay

[Andrew Powers @Crotalusandthem]

Happy World Snake Day from the Prairie! Always love and respect your serpentine neighbors #crotalusatrox

My entry for #PitviperBeautyPageant is this wonderful Amazonian Toad-Headed Pitviper (Bothrocophias hyoprora) that I saw for several days on the trail at Tiputini

[Pablo J. Venegas @onlyFAUNA]

#PitviperBeautyPageant day 7. Bothrops barnetti an endemic species from the dry forest and deserts of the northern coast of 🇵🇪. A region commonly known as Tumbesian Region.

I never expected to fall in love with #grasshoppermice as much as I did. They’re truly weasels in every way but physical (except for similar locomotion, musk, and tenacious bite!) Completely a joy any time we come across them while trapping #smallmammals #onychomys
