Do you know how many outdoor cats there are in DC?
Well, we don't know that either–which is why the #DCCatCount is so important!
It will give us a sense of the impact outdoor cats have on our wildlife & environment.
🗓️Briefing Sept 16
👉 @dccatcount for updates & wildlife 📸
Join us on Sept. 16 at 12 PM for a virtual Community Conversation about the DC Cat Count! The DC Cat Count Governance Committee will discuss new insights into the District's domestic cat population and how this research can be applied in other communities. https://t.co/jvnxmow1Od
This fox is likely suffering from sarcoptic mange, which has caused hair loss on their tail. Sarcoptic mange is caused by an infestation of burrowing mites, resulting in extreme itching, hair loss, and discomfort. #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #animalsincities
Groundhogs are relatively solitary animals but are seen together during breeding season. Males are typically a bit bigger than females, so it’s likely that the groundhog on the left is the male! #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #animalsincities #wildlife #groundhog
Just like humans, kittens receive 50% of their DNA from each parent. Depending on which genes are expressed, they can have completely different coat colors and patterns from their parents! #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #animalsincities #cats
The velvet on bucks' new antlers has a lot of blood vessels and nerves that help with their quick growth, but this also makes their antlers very sensitive. This sensitivity can help deer learn where their antlers are on their head and in relation to their environment! #DCcatcount
Muskrats may not be fast on land, but they are great swimmers. They can hold their breath for 15 minutes or more and can even swim backwards! #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #wildlife #muskrat
Unneutered adult male cats often have large cheeks (“jowls”) and thick necks, which are secondary sex characteristics driven by testosterone. #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #cats #communitycats
That fence might be an effective barrier for these fawns, but an adult deer could easily jump over it! Most adult deer can jump over 8 feet high. #DCcatcount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #urbanecology #wildlife
Check out those claws! Groundhogs’ burrow systems can be as long as a bowling lane, so they have to be well-equipped to dig! #DCCatCount #WashingtonDC #urbanecology #urbancameratrapping #groundhogs #woodchucks
Red foxes are typically crepuscular, meaning that they are most active during twilight hours. This fox was caught at the break of dawn on a golf course before any humans had arrived! #DCCatCount #WashingtonDC #urbanecology #urbancameratrapping #wildlifeincities #fox
Birds of prey have some of the best eyesight in the entire animal kingdom, and also have an excellent sense of hearing. This camera-trap definitely didn’t go unnoticed by the eyes of this curious hawk! #DCCatCount #urbanecology #WashingtonDC #hawks
Raccoons have a lot of touch receptors in their hands, making them one of their most important sense organs. Wetting their hands can increase the responsiveness of their nerves, which can give them more tactile information about what they are about to eat. #DCCatCount #raccoons
Despite the name, woodchucks do not typically chew wood! But, gnawing on their various food items helps keep their ever-growing incisors at a healthy length.@PetSmartChariTs @NationalZoo @humanerescue @HumaneSociety @ASPCApro #DCCatCount #woodchucks #urbanecology #wildlife
Wait – that’s not a cat! This raccoon was likely looking for leftover cat food from a nearby feeding station. If you feed community cats, remember to pick up food bowls and avoid putting out excess food to discourage wildlife from eating it #DCCatCount #urbancameratrapping
Rats are very social animals and live in groups known as “packs”. They are even known to cuddle at night in their shared burrows! @PetSmartChariTs @NationalZoo @humanerescue @HumaneSociety @ASPCApro #DCCatCount #WashingtonDC #urbancameratrapping #rats
The English word “raccoon” comes from an adaptation of an Algonquian/Powhatan word meaning “animal that scratches with its hands”. @PetSmartChariTs @NationalZoo @humanerescue @HumaneSociety @ASPCApro #DCCatCount #WashingtonDC #raccoons #urbanecology #urbancameratrapping
