Spring peepers are out so early this year!

I really dislike aggressive argumentation and generally I always lose that style of argument because that approach to arguing makes me shut down. Can I get a hell yeah? And then a recognition that we shouldn't assess someone's scientific abilities based on their ability to banter

I think the time i tried to become a cryptid in the pine barrens before realizing the jersey devil would get all the credit was my worst moment..

Who wants to start a podcast with me where we drink and sh*t talk about the dumb things we’ve done during ecology field work

[Katelyn Hode @HodeKatelyn]

We wear ties at the bottom of our neck rather than by our chin, so I think #2 is a no brainer

It's #FrogFriday with the Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer)!

Spring Peepers can be identified by the 'cross' on its back. This cross is where the specific name — crucifer — comes from.

Not the best photo, but a few years ago a two-lined salamander tried to bite me and I was able to snap a photo of its mouth, including its teeth. Most people don't think of salamanders having teeth but the family name Plethodontidae actually refers to them having "many teeth."

Zookeeping was a fun adventure and I learned many skills, but im returning to environmental science and conservation :) im very excited to step out of my comfort zone and start learning again

Science and democracy are strongly interlinked - as they are both built on freedom of speech, independence, facts and transparency.
If you don’t respect democracy then you probably won’t respect science. And if you don’t respect science then you probably won’t respect democracy.

The adorable face of a Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum).

These salamanders are a rare find in the metro Atlanta area, but as a member of our Patreon you ensure their survival on a greater scale.

Carabus insulicola in the works... This is a commissioned piece drawn from a prepared specimen

Isn't the larva of a Frosted Flatwoods Salamander incredible?

Bold lateral stripes help the developing larva blend in with the flooded grasslands of the flatwoods habitat.

@Nerd_Freak92 King snakes actually eat other snakes and would've kept both those and other pests away. Next time please call a herpetologist in your area to relocate.

[Chris Day @williemoeday]

The king snake is quickly becoming my favorite snake. The other is a red bellied watersnake. #DismalSwampStatePark #wildlifephotography #fuji #fujifilm #xt3 @AlongsideWild

Derek was called to capture this Desert Kingsnake, showing exactly why finding a Kingsnake in a rattlesnake-fenced yard isn't an indication of a problem. Kingsnakes routinely climb a variety of objects and are quite capable.

I finally decided what I want to study in grad school and bought 3 books so far to read on my breaks at work! I'm so excited to start learning again

[Katelyn Hode @HodeKatelyn]

@UJRadio Oh wow
