A message to young biologists: People will tell you not to ‘anthropomorphize’ other animals. Ignore them. Every time you interact with another animal, imagine what they are thinking. Put yourself in their position. 🧵

For the past four years it’s been my job - nay, my PLEASURE - to be the tweeter behind the @OKWildlifeDept account. This is my final post. It’s been my absolute honor to roast and ratio some of you into the ground in the name of science. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: 🧵

DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO SHARE A DONUT - AT LEAST ASK US IF WE WANT IT FIRST. BECAUSE WE DO. WE LOVE DONUTS. DO NOT GIVE IT TO WILDLIFE - IT IS BAD FOR THEM - AND IT ALSO MEANS LESS DONUTS FOR US. MAKE BETTER CHOICES.



I think we might have a bumble bee colony under our deck (either Eastern or Two-spotted) & it makes me so happy when I see the lil' workers hanging around 🥹🐝


Going on a walk with me means getting unasked for information about the herbaceous & woody plants you can eat along the way. Did y'all know young Basswood leaves are GREAT for salads? And their sap is yummy boiled down; young buds are yummy; flowers are great for salads


Please fire your landscaper/gardener if they start talking about using landscape/weed fabric ok. ESPECIALLY if they're loading mulch onto it for some godforsaken reason


Is there a point in time when people stop thinking I'm 18? Seeing as I'm turning 30 next year it's getting a wee bit old

I am unsurprised to learn that baby Puffins are called Pufflings but oh my goodness do I love it #coldweatherwebinar


Canids are cool; today I learned that coyotes typically howl around a frequency of 600 Hz while wolves at 350 Hz! #coldweatherwebinar
