It is with profound sadness I relate the news that I just heard. Richard Lewontin died this morning. He was in poor health and passed away three days after his wife of many years, Mary Jane. He left an indelible mark on the field and will be remembered with deep admiration.

As we celebrate Charles Darwin today, we at Task Force Turtle want to call attention to the pervasiveness of depression, impostor syndrome, and self doubt among even the greatest minds. Even Darwin got down on himself, and often. It is real, and it is OK

On this #WildlifeWednesday, we at Task Force Turtle still can't say for sure if bears do it, but by going through some camera traps from this summer, we can state categorically, that yes, foxes do s*&t in the woods.... and smile while doing it!

Hey #herpetologists and #bird lovers... Probably the BEST video we've ever gotten. This is a wifi security cam my husband set up remotely. How do you think THIS ended?

Dense road networks fragment habitat and contribute directly to mortality in many species. This ~4 ft EDB failed in its attempt to cross a road yesterday. Mortality events from #roadkill can contribute to local extinctions and are a significant concern for many #reptiles.

We're shellebrating #turtleTuesday with another snippet from #SNAPPERCAM! This #turtle is migrating through a wet wood to her Fall-Winter home - an upland bog. Watch closely for some trail cams we have monitoring her route - we're on the lookout for new turtles coming this way!
