I tried the concrete enrichment thing for Hex and she's obsessed with it, she's been using it as a pillow for her naps 😭

The beast awakes

Sleepy day 😴

Found this poor guy on the sidewalk after it rained

Let it dry out in a cup before setting it back outside once the rain stopped 😅

Probably a june bug beetle?

One of my favorite things at @tarpits.bsky.social is how next to many of the tar seeps, you will find a stick with a black tip.

The most human of instincts: to poke things with a stick

I love it

Can't post pictures, but yesterday I got to attend a necropsy training with a local marine mammal group! Super excited to start working with them, and helping out with their educational collections

I'm still rusty, but I made this a couple days ago! Hoping to finish that fox that's been sitting in my freezer soon

Today I got to play my favorite game: Bone Detective! Today was the bird edition.
I was able to identify two specimens based on their sternums. (one was Anatidae, one was Galliformes)

This one was much more difficult, but based on some features on the humerus, my guess was Pelicaniformes!
