This week’s #microscopicMonday, we are stepping back and looking at this animal’s pelt. Any ideas on who this South American mammal is?

Answer to last week’s #microscopicmonday is Madagascar Hissing Cockroches! These large roaches get their name from the sound they make by pushing air out of the spiracles (respiratory system) on the 4th abdominal segment. @sunsetzoo @KS_SCI @sixlegscience

Today’s #microscopicmonday isn’t exactly microscopic, but it is zoomed in. Any guesses on who this week’s animal is? @sunsetzoo @KS_SCI

[Behind the Science @ScienceMHK]

Here's the answer to last week's #MicroscopicMonday, it's a tiger pelt.
Did you know that there are less than 4,000 tigers left in the wild and that Malayan tigers can weigh up more than 250 pounds?
For more info about Malayan tigers, come visit Malik and Hakim at @sunsetzoo.

The game we played demonstrated strengths and weaknesses of the different types of functional traits. It also taught that survival is complicated when to combine all the driving factors. #scicomm #scienceMHK @sunsetzoo @KS_SCI @TGTaphouse

On to the game!
