"Wolf #677 has become synonymous with the character of Lobo. He was the last wolf Seton would ever hunt, and his death mirrors that of the Lobo in the story." @KnowingNonhuman

@PamelaBanting @asi_org Oh brilliant! Thank you very much! I'm hoping to see more submissions from literature students (and the humanities in general). Fingers crossed!

[Dr. Candice Allmark-Kent @KnowingNonhuman]

🦥Calling students/grads studying animals! 🦥As part of our efforts to reach out to students with an interest in #HumanAnimalStudies, @asi_org has created Sloth: A Journal of Emerging Voices in Human Animal Studies -- a journal for undergraduate students and recent graduates.🧵

[Dr. Candice Allmark-Kent @KnowingNonhuman]

@asi_org 🧵The mission of #Sloth is to publish scholarly studies, book and film reviews, or artistic products that increase our understanding of or raise awareness of issues involving human/non-human animal relationships.

[Dr. Candice Allmark-Kent @KnowingNonhuman]

I'm fascinated by the growth of video & tabletop RPGs about communities of 'realistic' anthropomorphic animals. There's so much to discuss here. I think I need to get writing (and playing!)🤔🕹️🐀

I remember seeing the co-operative hunting in #MyOctopusTeacher and wondering whether this kind of interspecies collaboration was more common that we had assumed. The lives of fishes and molluscs are far richer and more complex than we ever imagined #fishwelfare #octopuswelfare

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Octopuses work with fish to catch prey - and punch those that are not helping.

Today on our site we have "One or Several Lobos? Uncovering the Wolves Behind the Legend" by @KnowingNonhuman

#DavidAttenborough called #Lobo "The Wolf That Changed America." #Disney made "The Legend of Lobo" film about him in 1962. But what's the truth behind the story? How many real Lobos were there?

This is why organizations like @internetarchive are absolutely vital. (While we're at it, here's the open letter regarding Hachette v. Internet Archive: https://t.co/4WQV8eXAfF)

Thank you to #librarians, #archivists, and #digitalcurators everywhere.

[Dr. Candice Allmark-Kent @KnowingNonhuman]

Today, from my office in England, I'm finally reading one of Ernest Thompson Seton's journals held in the @AMNH. After writing about him for so many years, I'm now able to see his original notes and illustrations on the wild animals he encountered. 🧵

[Dr. Candice Allmark-Kent @KnowingNonhuman]

without the use of #openaccess online archives. My deepest and sincerest heartfelt thanks go to every single person who has gone through the no doubt arduous task of scanning and archiving thousands of old books and documents. 🧵
