No, Trump did NOT actually mean "transgenic mice." He literally meant transgender mice and is summarily wrong. Here is the list of studies that supposedly was "making mice transgender."

🎶What the world needs now is baby bobcats, sweet baby bobcats / It's the only thing that there's just too little of 🎶Last month, MDLT volunteers and supporters Nathan and Keith observed this young bobcat family (Lynx rufus) on MDLT’s Quail Mountain preserve.

When I have those mid summer ‘the end of the world feels near’ blues I head on over to the edge of Death Valley to commune with the Amargosa niterwort. Please let me be and do not disturb. Thank you. 🙏🏼

One of her fictional presidential candidates is a neo-fascist, who says: “Help us to make America great again.”

Happy #WorldSnakeDay from this silly goose (not a goose). Hognose snakes pretend to be venomous or dead to avoid predators!

Just a reminder that Stray is still shite

Calling all SLO County community members! We need snakes for a Cal Poly research project this summer. If you see a snake (any snake other than a rattlesnake or gopher snake!) in your yard or out on the trail, call us at 805-401-0811 and we will come get it.

Out October 22 from @mcdbooks ... Absolution. Preorder now from your fav bookstore.

[Marisa Tellez, PhD 🇧🇿🐊 @doc_tellez]

Happy World Snake Day! This should be a day to educate yourself&learn how to coexist w/these amazing predators. For example, this boa hissing is a warning “please stay away from me, you frighten me.” Keep your space as snakes do not want to harm humans!

The Arizona Ridgenosed Rattlesnake is our state reptile, though few people who live here will ever see one. Here are a couple that we encountered a while back, which we collected some locality data on and photographed under permit.

Happy #WorldSnakeDay!

Evolutionary and molecular biologists: I'd love to support PRFB applications. If you're interested in poisons, herps, museum science, please let me know!

[Save The Snakes @savethesnakes]

It's #WorldSnakeDay! Snakes keep our ecosystems healthy & control pest populations. Let's shed the fear & embrace the beauty of snakes!
