This is a sideblog i made just to put all wildlife and reptile specific posts.
I like hiking but I live in the chicago region so i spend a lot of time hiking short trails and small forest preserves. I try to document the wildlife i find there, even in areas full of humans.
For a little bit this blogll probably be mostly reblogs since its winter in my hemisphere, but I might post old photos or photos from wildlife centers and zoos etc.

So. I still had the pig litter we built to form the pig palanquin a few months ago. It's just been chilling leaned up against the side of my house since then, doing nothing.
I had some spare time, and some spare spoons, and some spare dollars, today. I took myself down to the hardware store and picked up 4 more 2x4s and a handful of L-brackets, and in combination with some of the scrap wood in my barn from other projects, I turned the pig litter into a bird tower.
The birds were all INCREDIBLY helpful, so eager to climb all over it that they were climbing all over it while we were trying to build it. Literally using a power drill and having to fend off 13 birds who all want to know if anything we're doing might be their business and/or contain treats for them (it did not).
I literally was up on a step ladder, putting the tippy top bar up on top of the tallest 2x4, and I had only just barely placed it there before Bug LAUNCHED herself up to it. The problem was that I only placed it- I hadn't screwed it into the L-brackets yet. So I watched in slow motion as she flew up there, landed on one side, and it tipped over and fell off. I caught the 2x2, and thankfully Bug made it to the ground safely, if embarrassed. I bet it will take a while before she tries to jump up there again.
That's fine! It's here to be explored at their leisure, and used however they please. I built a little treat board into the top of it so I can put scratch grains or whatever up there for them. Earl and Mantis are demonstrating how to use it. And also the size of the thing. It's a little over 8 feet tall, and the bottom brace boards are each 4 feet long.
The middle section the treat board sits on is the original Pig Litter. Including what was used to make that, and the materials I got today, this thing cost ~$35-40 and an hour of time to make, and will last years at least. Worth it!
the beautiful nuthatch is a large member of the nuthatch family, found through most of southeast asia’s mainland. the nuthatch is named for its vibrant coloration, unusual in the nuthatch family. like its relatives, the bird feeds on mainly small insects. the species does not exhibit sexual dimorphism, with both the male and female showing brilliant plumage.
same animal btw

Today's wasp of the day is Lagynodes pallidus!
Credits: photo 1, photo 2
No, that's not an ant, just a tiny wingless lady wasp. Unfortunately, not much is known about this genus and there's no records of what her host species may be. Females can commonly be found in leaf litter and gardens and there's some theories that they're phoretic— meaning the females hitch a ride on someone else to get around, which would explain how they're sometimes found in places only flying insects can reach....
What a mysterious lady

This snake morph guide is just meant to explain some basics of morphs. I would caution anyone in buying a pet that takes a high level of care just because it's pretty, and frankly any breeder that continues to breed morphs with physiological and neurological defects should be put out of business. I did my best as I find this interesting and believe there's a lot of misinformation out there due to people trying to literally sell things to their audience.
I included some links if you would like additional reading. They range from a study on captive care management, studies I could find relevant to the severe issue morphs, and some general on snake color and scales.
I tried to watch a new Scishow video the other day and immediately had to turn it off because they managed to get a fact incorrect in the first 30 seconds, no joke.
The episode is about how the ancestors of domestic cows aren't extinct. They open the episode by comparing that to dogs, and saying that dogs' ancestors, wolves, aren't extinct.
But they are.
Extant grey wolves are a cousin of dogs from a shared ancestor, not the ancestors of dogs. The ancestor of dogs and modern wolves IS extinct. I know what they say about citing wikipedia but genuinely the "domestication of dog" wikipedia page has one of the most robust citation pages and is extremely thorough.
Like I get that scishow is a pop science outlet, but its just a terrible sign when they have such basic errors that anyone even slightly familiar with a topic can observe.
so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day
i once took an american antihistamine pill just a basic one for seasonal allergies and i had to immediately lay down and while doing so i vividly hallucinated that i was a steerage passenger on the titanic resigned to my death as my cabin filled up rapidly with water. then i blacked out and when i woke up again my allergies were gone for the entire season.
