Yeah, I was thinking to myself, never thought I’d actually get to use this gif.

And yet, here we are. Carpe diem!

a few years back this photo surfaced of a cougar hunter in NM. His hounds treed a cat, and he catches up to find this:

Mr. Glenn raced back to his mule, pulled out a camera and snapped what seem to be the first photographs of a live jaguar in the United States, ever. Other known photographs show jaguars that were already dead. Sadly, the same cat was killed a few months later by a federal police officer in Mexico, 30 miles from the United States border.

I guess I’m conditioned to see Jaguars in like tropical jungle environments.

It’s cool to see one under a cedar tree in an arid western climate similar to where I currently live. It’s just as much their native habitat as a jungle, so why not

it’s funny what we’re conditioned to associate

prior to westward expansion, nearly all of the iconic Yellowstone animals could be found on the prairies of Kansas

there’s a picture from Custer’s initial exploration of the Black Hills of a grizzly that was shot outside of Rapid City, on the plains

I saw a rufous hummingbird in my backyard a couple of days ago. Apparently they are not expected in Bay Area, but Peterson Guide says “range expanding”. Never seen one in 24 years.
