"As the most intellectual creature who has ever lived, how come we are destroying our planet?" -Jane Goodall #2021BLC
@lainitaylor As of now, the class is almost full, and it's all women!!
Here's the artist's website in case anyone wants to inquire about commissions. His work is so cute!! Here's another one he did for me, on rattlesnake parental care. https://t.co/laIaVe5CqQ
OK, we are being asked to teach online in spring, too. Who is teaching #Herpetology and wants to teach our classes jointly, as in inter-university? This would make it more exciting for students and reduce our workloads for preparing online materials.
What if we applied it to #rattlesnakes? So, I commissioned Mike Essa to make this drawing that Bambifies a mama rattlesnake with her pups, and I declared Sept 6 to be National Baby Rattlesnake Day (with no authority whatsoever). ISN'T IT CUTE? 3/
The latest @Ologies episode got me thinking... how can we use the "Bambi effect" evoked by @Rhiannon_Kirton and @rhiacoon to prop up the reputation of less-loved critters? This effect means that animals portrayed as cute become loved by the public and they won't kill them... 1/
We are smack in the middle of baby rattlesnake season and I am shouting with joy from the Twitter rooftops because
RATTLESNAKES ARE SO INCREDIBLE!
