It's fucking cold. This is the kind of thing I was talking about last week when it was 67° F, when it feels like May but you know it's going to go below freezing for at least a week and nice weather seems like a long way away. But the reptile room is warm. Too warm, even.

Snakes can move both halves of their jaws independently of one another. It doesn't really make much sense for them to latch on as a defense, since if you were a predator, you'd be mildly annoyed by this and will probably kill the snake. We do have a bottle of listerine for this event, though.
Skinky looks vaguely ophidian. This is evolutionarily beneficial, instead of coincidental like I though.
Those pits in Kaa's face are heat-sensing.
Tarantulas are smart by spider standards much in the way that iguanas are smart by reptilian standards and humans are smart by mammalian standards, they never bite as a defense, only rub their legs together to release some irritating hairs.
We are truly in the future, giving a tour to some kids in Iowa via Skype or something like it. I found out that the snapping turtle has Play-Doh in his mouth and is being fed through a tube while his jaw heals over the next four months.
Even in the future nothing works.
A hawk died from internal bleeding and this had something to do with rodenticides.
A swan came in recently, but there was nothing wrong with him and he was in his proper context behaving very much like a swan, so back into the wild he went.

Vitamin K has nothing to do with potassium. It's all C, H, and O. It's weird because it goes A, B-complex, C, D, E, K, and that's because K stands for the German word Koagulationsvitamin.


chinchilla dentistry: so, the chinchilla had some blood in her mouth because one of the teeth was malformed, so the teeth got worn down, and this is something she's going to have to deal with for the rest of her life.



I'll have to take this with me, on my iPod. Christina posted this. A different Christina; she is five feet tall and born under the sign of the Death Seraph rather than the High Seraph, she is not an artist but she does love photography, and I have never seen her at the Wildlife Center.


This is what I wanted to show you. Now featuring a giganterous bird eating a worm instead of a sign, and someone named Sarah K. Don't know if she's the same Sarah I knew. I can't think of a time where I didn't work with someone named Sarah. Always Sarah with an H, except for now, actually.\
It's comparatively dark down there and using a flash didn't help.


burning question: What's the proper spelling, Sarah or Sara?
