So I've been busy with the PhD lately and haven't talked much about my recent travels. I need to amend this because I've been to a lot of really cool places in the past couple of months! I promise I'll set up a regular writing schedule soon.
In the meantime, yesterday I watched a really great talk about Black-footed ferrets. They are the only ferret species in the western hemisphere (the other two species are in Eurasia). You should watch it too:
A biologist talked to UGA's School of Forestry about the history and the future of this endangered (once thought to be extinct) amazing animals:
