#FaunaFriday
It's #FaunaFriday! 🐿️ This week, we're talking all things Black-tailed Prairie Dog.

This adorable ground squirrel is an infamous critter that inhabits grasslands from southern Canada to Mexico, including in our restoration sites in central South Dakota!

Somewhere in this image of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory is a viscacha...

Viscachas are rabbit-like rodents related to chinchillas. They're well-camouflaged for the landscape of the Chilean mountains! #FaunaFriday 🔭🧪

The amazing find of sabre tooth cat cub yesterday got me thinking could we start a #FaunaFriday on here? Attached a couple of bones from our work at Ranis: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Been at sea for almost a week now, but we've gone straight out into the mid ocean. Briefly saw a blue whale, but not in time to get a picture or video. So instead, if I give you a coyote from my yard shortly before I set sail for this #FaunaFriday
