CW: Real animal skull photo
Eastern Cottontail rabbit skull.
Rabbits and other lagomorphs have an ID feature on their skulls that helps separate them from rodents - "rostral fenestration". This refers to the area of skull in front of the eye socket that looks like latticework.
This skull is one of the many objects on display inside the Centre for Urban Ecology.

Im looking for any Mastodon instance related to #tracking, in the old fashioned sense of the word, on the ground, in the real world, following the doings of our mysterious neighbors who we mostly get to know through the tracks and signs they leave.

The small female black bear has been my neighbor for quite a few years. She passes by my cabin every few weeks, during certain times of year, on the route she walks around her territory. She's polite, and never causes trouble. This year she has two cubs.
The bear track photo is from a different bear. The photo of numerous tracks are sea otter -
I really like finding animal #TracksAndSigns when out in the field - here we have the footprints of an #impala (top) and #hyena (bottom) which visited the same site within a few hours while the ground was still wet after a heavy rain shower.
