I don’t think everyone is so aware of those dynamics. It’s baby steps, barely noticeable, until it is too late. If you know about history you will notice. 80 years seems like a short period in history, but long enough to forget important lessons.

Recent years have been surreal. I was born in 1985 and everything bad seemed to be just from the history books. With the pandemic and current political and geopolitical climate it feels like I am living “history”.

It’s a common sentiment about nature legislation here as well. “Is housing for bats (replace with any other protected species) more important than houses for humans”?

Thank you!😁

Thanks! Probably my favourite species 😁

However, this does not always hold true. Based on this knowledge the gecko on the photo is female. [3/3]

Satanic Leaf-tailed Geckos are sexually dimorphic in that males typically have a tail that resembles a leaf that has been predated on by insects more so than females who typically have a tail resembling a fresh leaf. [2/3]

Thanks! Yeah, not a happy experience 😅

Haha, yeah, that would be a good reason to retire! 😂 I probably have only a handful of images from that era that I still like. Others are just good memories. 😅

Amazing example! I think I can do the same with this species and some other Bornean species (2014 vs 2023). 😁

Thanks! That’s great to hear! Same here. 😁
It’s still quiet here. 😅
