What’s your favorite cursed chipmunk fact?

chipmunks looooove to eat baby mice. if they find a nest they'll just horf the little guys down like popcorn.

like this but way worse!

they'll eat adult mice too, if they can catch them!

it is simply not safe to be a smaller rodent anywhere in the vicinity of a chipmunk.

#cursed biology #animal death #all of the baby mice pictures I found had guts showing so feel free to search them yourself I just thought it was a bit much for this blog

not to be a doomer but HOW did we let it get this bad. of COURSE this is an enormous risk considering the primary carriers of the virus (at least initially) were domestic poultry in close contact with humans. …..and that closely related strains were known to be zoonotic…. And we just survived a worldwide pandemic.

There’s something uniquely terrible about the way a poisoned bug moves as it’s dying. The frantic flailing. You flip them over and they sprint off and immediately fall back over for no visible reason (but at this point you know for sure it’s poison). It’s been a little while since I’ve seen it and it’s just so awful. I wish I had it in me to at least put them out of their misery.

one time a wild rabbit dug a burrow in our shed and had a litter of babies in it. unfortunately, that was also the territory of one particularly bad-tempered, bird feeder-raiding chipmunk which my older brother semi-affectionately nicknamed "Kratos". he broke into the burrow while the mother was away foraging and chewed off all the baby bunnies' heads and tossed them out of the den and claimed the burrow as his own, and when the mother rabbit came back he mauled her severely and sent her running. apparently her injuries were so severe since we found the mother rabbit dead under the porch a few days later, with festering infected wounds on her face. chipmunks are terrifying and if they were as big as capybaras they'd probably be even deadlier than hippos

jesus. god of war, indeed

#animal death #going to call every chipmunk I see kratos from now on

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

This is going to be an unpleasant post but I need to talk to y’all about heat stroke in dogs. I am an ER vet and I am seeing firsthand the death toll that this heat wave is taking on our pets. In the past two weeks, for every single weekend shift I have worked, we have had at least one DOA with a body temperature over 107 degrees. One of them had simply been on a 20 minute walk at 5pm. All of them were brachycephalic (short faced breeds like pugs and french bulldogs). Their owners were in shock that this could happen so quickly, and their grief lingers with me.

If you have a dog, and especially if you have a brachycephalic dog, you need to familiarize yourself with the signs of heat stroke. Do not take your dogs out in the heat of the day, be aware of the pavement temperature, and always have fresh water available for them. When I am outdoors with my dog I am checking on him constantly. This heat wave is extremely serious; I need you to keep yourself and your pets safe.
