Had a brilliant close encounter in the back garden this evening!! #muntjac #deer

Long believed extinct, dramatic new evidence emerges of the continued existence of the #TetzooPodcats !! Episode 84: The Resurrection tetzoo.com/podcast/2023/2…

It’s the circle of life SOUND ON

@TetZoo As there have been approximately 300 superhero movies released since the last podcats, can we expect an in depth review from @thejohnconway ?

The rumours are true --- recent excavations in the vicinity of John’s hard disk have yielded a fossilised podcast from the Late 2021 period. Enjoy the retro stylings! tetzoo.com/podcast/2022/7…

@Paleojim @Ichnologist tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

@Ichnologist David Elliott & Dale Nations described them ~25 years ago.

@TetZoo I seem to remember this was once featured in famed 90s army documentary 'Soldier Soldier', so obviously this is true! imdb.com/title/tt070433…

Your reminder that British big cats are a genuine thing, that there are naturalised leopards, pumas AND lynx here, and that good data supporting their reality exists. Much of it remains unpublished and efforts are _still_ underway to get it into the technical literature.

Without saying your age, post two of your favourite games from the year you turned 13.

This was the most wonderful, stimulating workshop to have taken part in. Take a read and broaden your knowledge of how humans and elephants have interacted for a VERY long time. drive.google.com/file/d/1sKcX78…

@SiobhanLeachman @EdNZ @minhealthnz Meanwhile in the UK, a similarly sized island nation ...

@EdNZ @minhealthnz Phew!

Wondering whether the lateness of the @minhealthnz update is a good or bad thing ...

Our study on palaeoecology and phylogeography of woolly rhino is out in QSR. The study presents the first C and N stable isotope records of the 15,000 years preceding woolly rhino extinction.

@SiobhanLeachman Hmmm managed to track down a Mrs George Graham but she died in 1916, which seems a bit early ...

The frustration of trying to track some of these folk down! How I WISH full names had been provided. Also, I know a Rachel Wastney from Nelson ... wondering if the Mr Wastney is a relation. biodiversitylibrary.org/page/60406113

@SiobhanLeachman D. Mackenzie is mentioned again later in the same document as Donald McKenzie (not sure which spelling is correct)

Just in case folk ask, so far I've confirmed Captain Bollins, R. E. Clouston (though not his full name), F. V. Knapp and Miss M. K. Mestayer.

@SiobhanLeachman Might be Robert Edmond Clouston, who is mentioned as a mining engineer and forest ranger oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/r… Seems some of his children were involved in the early flight industry

@annfro @jenhunter2010 Lost to antiquity, I'm afraid. But if you're patient, I'm working on a new one!

In other news, an opossum was hit on the road outside the reserve this morning. And...well.... I learned something. 👀

One of our local resident birds, anyone want to guess leucistic heron or great egret? Best we could do with the phone camera...
