The Weekly Recap
Hello and welcome back to the weekly recap:)
This week started off with some great reports by Ellen Linton: this one from Yellowstone, including Grizzly Bears and Grey Wolves, and another from NC, Virginia and WV – my personal favourite part of which was the Attack of the Horseflies, as I too have experienced not being able to exit a car due to swarms of oversized mosquitoes. They are both great reads!
Next is Junin Lake, Peru from Chris D – a short but successful trip, as they managed to find “one stern looking Colocolo”, appearing to wear a bow tie. The report also includes an incredible Tim Burtonesque photo of a Lesser Horned Owl, or maybe a person just transformed into one under the full moon.
This Royle Safaris trip to Western Sahara saw Fennec and Ruppell’s Fox, Africa Golden Wolf and and African Wild Cat among 11 other great species.
Finally, in this trip report from New South Wales Ryan Douglas saw many of the Aussie classics such as Bare-nosed Wombat, Swamp Wallabies, Short-beaked Echidna and of course Koalas (the only mammal I could never complain about looking for) as well as some cool marine mammals like Australian Fur Seals and a Southern Right Whale.
Thanks to a cancellation on a Kaeng Krachan Sun Bear tour in Thailand happening this December, there is one place left for any interested fanati- I mean mammalwatchers. The primary target is of course the Malayan Sun Bear, but there will also be a chance for Melanistic Leopard, Robinson’s Banded Langur, Fae’s Muntjac and a few more.
Some mammalwatching cartoons are needed for a project to promote ethical mammalwatching. So if you are good enough at drawing to showcase how maybe one shouldn’t try to cuddle a Pallas Cat or put a wig on a Naked Mole Rat (though God knows they could do with one), please see this post!
If you happen to know anything about mammalwatching in England, this post is looking for some advice on where to see species such as Reeves Muntjac and Harbour Porpoise in the country. And someone else is wondering how best to find Smooth-coated Otters in Singapore, especially when on a tight schedule.
Suggestions for low budget mammalwatching in Central America (especially Costa Rica) would also be greatly appreciated here.
