I can’t believe Zoom did me dirty this morning by AUTO-UN-MUTING ME in the all staff meeting while I was talking to my coworker. I ended up accidentally talking over someone else who just wanted to talk about saving Joshua trees 😭

My favorite part of #TWS2024 (besides meeting other passionate wildlife biologists, obviously) was walking away with more squirrel & coyote swag from Blue Aster Studio - I love seeing artists with booths at conferences!

Fun Fact: Thorny devil lizards drink water with their feet. They step in water on the ground and the grooves on their skin channel water to their mouths through capillary action. This allows them to drink passively without lowering their guard.🦎🥤🐾
