Cougar scat contains fur, bits of bones, the end is pointy and it tends to be segmented. This scat was in the middle of a trail and could be territorial marking. Photo taken earlier this week in the wilderness on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

We’re happy to see that Constantin, the parti-colored bat, is already on the road to recovery! Although he can already fly for 5–7 minutes, he still needs a few more days before he can be released back into the wild.
Go, Constantin! 🦇

What does a bullfrog do in winter? A dedicated team in Linkenheim-Hochstetten is investigating this question. To find out how the frogs behave in winter, they are now being equipped with transmitters.
We are delighted to be able to support this exciting research with our custom made wildlife transmitters!
