I have finally figured out the camera lens and the setting I need to catch clear photos of wolverines! Ugh, I just love them and their incredibly dense fur so much.
These two are Rainier and Ahma at Northwest Trek. They're full siblings, but were born in different litters, in 2009 and 2007 respectively. The easiest way to tell them apart is by their eyes - or, really, their lack thereof. They've both got some congenital eye issues that have resulted in the surgical removal of one/both eyes as they've aged into elderhood. Ahma is now eyeless, and Rainier still has one eye left (although a keeper did mention it may be getting close to that time, again).
As you'll see, though, they still get around spectacularly. When it comes to finding snacks, they do it by smell. I rented a lens specifically to take photos of this special enrichment day: an elk carcass feed. They got an elk spine and pelvis, both sourced from a safely-euthanized member of the herd at the same facility.
Photos containing the carcasses will be below the cut. The carcass chunks are not bloody or gory - they look kind of like something you'd find on a grocery store shelves - so I'd really suggest checking the photos out. Wolverines are super strong, super tough little guys and it was so cool to see these two really get into tearing apart huge hunks of meat.
sometimes the solution to finishing a project you hate / were struggling with really is to just not fucking touch it for a bit and then come back when you're less annoyed with it. i struggled so hard with this when i first started it but when i came back tonight it was a breeze

It is such a CRIME that the tbhk anime doesn't have a second season
Like it gets so INTERESTING after the hell of mirrors arc?????? It adds so much complexity to characters with such a minor role in the anime and to the relationships of the well-established ones!!!! The comedy/horror/angst/romance elements are amplified by leagues and you just have way more to yap about
The only characters we rlly get to learn about in s1 are the toilet trio and Mitsuba and it is such a shame that so many compelling charas are getting slept on bc the anime hasn't made it to the good stuff yet!! Where is our season 2 and/or the restart we were promised!!!!
The nine-banded armadillo I work with was being so cute I couldn’t help but show her off. Her name is Delilah and she was enjoying a morning sunbathing!
