Devoted to my family & the 'foul and loathsome'. The slimy underdogs, the squish lizards & the siredon. Particularly fond of Mudpuppies.

We are hoppy to announce that we have now helped save 1000 mountain yellow-legged frogs! 🐸

This week, we transported 43 frogs from Oakland Zoo to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, where they journeyed by helicopter to be returned into the wild.

My favorite recent image. Was going to hold onto it until it was published somewhere but changed my mind. This is a threatened CA tiger salamander laying eggs - my images were the 1st time this has been photographed in the wild, & this is my fav of the set. Notice the eggs near her chin!🌎🦎

I teach my undergrads that when scientists know exactly how many members of a species are alive, that’s very, very bad news
