dirty work

yamamanamaMother Nature doesn't always match her schedules with our college schedules and that's why we were understaffed.
We have a short-tailed weasel, which also called stoats in their standard coloration and ermines when they're in their winter fur which are originally Eurasian but it isn't our fault they're over here while long tailed weasels are native. I say this, even though they've been in North America longer than humans have. They were also introduced to New Zealand to control feral rabbits and hares but have done a number on local birds because I don't know what they expected to happen. They live in burrows but don't dig their own, they just find them, go in, and kill whomever's inside. They typically eat voles and can even take down larger rabbits. This one's a baby. Primrose says he looks like a pez dispenser. Hopefully Jack will post a picture for us soon. I'll give him until midnight on Wednesday/Thursday.
When I woke up the morning after, the picture was there. Whether Jack will post a picture of the weasel as an adult is yet to be seen.
There is a middle ground between the unnecessarily giganterous pictures on Facebook and the rather small "l" size on imgur. I know this is akin to asking "who isn't here" but you're getting the l size when I show these to you on my iPod.
Here's another fun thing about Facebook. We all know about the aggressive user retention e-mailing that Facebook does and how we all know that you can't just stop it by going to the Wildlife Center's page and ganking their images, you have to go to the main page. I've learned that going to the mobile page doesn't set off the "you visited facebook so we'll stop flooding your inbox for a few days" flag, only the main page does that. So if you're stuck with the mobile version, you're shit out of luck and I hope you enjoy five e-mails a day about so-and-so updating their status but not telling you what said update actually entails.
I had to clean out the snapping turtle's tank and the drain didn't work with the hose attached and just made a horrid mess without the hose, so I had to dredge up the water, which is filled with whatever it is snapping turtles shit out, which I can only assume is people, and reeks of lakes and death.
If I'm making food for the raccoons, which involves fish, I can put pineapples and oranges in because the acids will negate the smell. If you're making food for seagulls or whatever else eats fish and only fish or a mixture of fish and dog food and chicks/guinea pigs/mice, you're shit out of luck. I hope the raccoons like parsnips and radishes.
burning question: Muss es sein?
