Another year another set of gingerbread squirrels. This year’s batch also included bats and hedgehogs (standing in for tenrecs) to represent what we’ve been working on this year. Oh and a fox/bear hybrid since I couldn’t find a pine marten!

Wow, it’s really taken off here lately. Excited to build back what we lost on the bird site!

Heading on a research trip tomorrow so I’ll hopefully have fun updates when I get back. In the meantime here’s a lemming I just found in our collection. Allen’s Rule is strong in these fluffballs!!!

Come join us in Borneo this summer! NSF funded undergraduate research experience (US citizens and permanent residents only) to work on the energetics of small tropical mammals. Must be ok with long hours in the hot humid tropics!!! umaine.edu/levesquelab/...
