Just a warning, this is going to be a downer, but it needs to be said, as we seen this constantly at our clinic and so do all the other animal hospitals. People mean well, but you wouldn’t treat or keep a lost or injured human child, and doing it to a wild baby is often much worse because regular folks don’t know what those wild babies need!

La acción del partido animalista PACMA, que ha repartido varias toneladas de comida en las zonas afectadas por los incendios en Castilla y León, abre el debate acerca de qué podemos hacer en un bosque calcinado para favorecer su recuperación.

I try to keep our stories positive, and I think this I’ve still will end up being positive, but maybe of you have been surprised before when I’ve mentioned some people don’t like the job we do for various reasons.

Meet the coatimundi (kuh-waa-tee-muhn-dee), also called the coati.

Straight up question– can animals be gay?

From Albert Lavallee

American toads. They get trapped in the ground wells( for checking continuity of the sites grounding ring, under ground) often.

Another factor in their color is simply age. For example, here’s a young juvenile below: (right-click as needed)

From MaryAnn Fuller

People will get frustrated when we aren’t available to help them, but the sad fact is there are only so many people and so much space available. Knowing when we are at our limits keeps us from sacrificing the quality of care we can give patients.

Most rehab jobs are not glamorous, and here is one I’m well familiar with.

From The Lonely Camo

This ladybug obligingly held still while I took a stack of focus bracketed images at, apparently, ƒ/3.2 and 1/100 sec according to the EXIF data. (Don’t look at me, I was in Fv mode.) This is hand held, and it’s always equal parts pleasing and mildly suspicious how well Helicon manages to line all the images up afterwards.

It’s a Great Spotted Woodpecker, taken by “aspiranthighlander” somewhere in the UK. Evidently these Theropod dinosaurs (i.e., “birds") are quite active these days, on the island.

Perspective belies the fact that this is evidently just a Common Octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ).
