Common Zebra

The Common, or plains Zebra (Equus quagga) was formerly known as Burchell's Zebra (Equus burchelli) until dna studies revelaed the extinct Quagga was not a separate species after all, and the older scientifically described name takes precedence

Ground Sloth

Diorama at Big Bone Lick State Park
Big Bone Lick State Park
During the Pleistocene age, which occurred during the last great Ice Age, enormous herds of herbivorous animals existed in the vicinity of what is today Big Bone Lick State Park. Ancestors of the sloth and bison frequented the area, which had vegetation and salty earth around the springs that the animals used to supplement their diet. The land was soft and marshy and many of the animals became mired in the bogs and died.
The area was widely known to the American Indians, such as the Delaware and Shawnee, who inhabited the Ohio Valley and relied on these centrally located springs for much of their salt and a large amount of their game. The Europeans learned of the existence of Big Bone Lick from these American Indians and the first European to visit this site was a French Canadian, de Longueil, in 1739. A map of Louisiana, dated 1744, marks the lick as the "place where they found the elephant bones in 1739." The first removal of fossil bones from the lick by American Indian trader Robert Smith was also recorded in 1744. In 1773, a survey party reported using the enormous ribs of the mammoth and mastodon for tent poles and the vertebrae as stools or seats. Explorers noted that the large bones lay scattered throughout the valley. The first map of Kentucky, prepared by John Filson in 1784, bore on the legend: "Big Bone Lick; Salt and Medical Spring. Large bones are found there."
Meriwether Lewis traveled to Big Bone Lick in October 1803 on his way west to join William Clark and the men assembling in Louisville for the Corps of Discovery. Lewis sent a box of specimens back to President Jefferson, along with an extremely detailed letter describing the finds of Goforth--the lengthiest surviving letter written by Lewis. President Jefferson devoted much time to the study of Big Bone Lick and believed that some of the large animals might still be living in the western regions of the country.
In 1807, after the Corps of Discovery disbanded, Jefferson sent Clark to Big Bone Lick for the first organized vertebra paleontology expedition in the United States. Clark employed laborers and collected bones, enough, in three weeks' time, to ship three huge boxes to the President. Jefferson had a room in the White House for the display of the Big Bone collection. The collection was divided and various sections of it went to the National Institute of France in Paris, to Philadelphia and to Jefferson's personal collection, which was unfortunately ground into fertilizer by a careless servant.
Ground sloths are a diverse group of extinct sloths, in the mammalian superorder Xenarthra. Their most recent survivors lived in the Antilles, where it has been proposed they may have survived until 1550 CE; however, the youngest AMS radiocarbon date reported is 4190 BP, calibrated to c. 4700 BP for Megalocnus of Cuba.
They had been extinct on the mainland of North and South America for 10,000 years or more. The term "ground sloth" is used as a reference for all extinct sloths because of the large size of the earliest forms discovered, as opposed to the extant "tree sloths."
Megalonyx, which means "giant claw" is a widespread North American genus, lived past the close of the last (Wisconsin) glaciation, when so many large mammals died out. Remains have been found as far north as Alaska.
The earliest known North American megalonychid, Pliometanastes protistus, lived in Florida and the southern U.S. about 9 million years ago, and is believed to have been the predecessor of Megalonyx.
When Lewis and Clark set out, Jefferson instructed Meriwether Lewis to keep an eye out for ground sloths. He was hoping they would find some living in the Western range.
_______________________________________
One recent hypothesis is that the Osage-orange fruit was eaten by a giant ground sloth that became extinct shortly after the first human settlement of North America. Other extinct Pleistocene megafauna, such as the mammoth, mastodon and gomphothere, may have fed on the fruit and aided in seed dispersal.

Hank video
Image by Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue
Hank is an an FIV+ cat who has remained robust and healthy over the years. Large, longhaired and very handsome, Hank is laid-back and mellow. When he is in the mood, he will sit in your lap.
Hank came to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue in 2004 when the shelter received a call from a pit bull rescue group who found Hank injured in a junkyard. Our volunteers rescued him, and the shelter had his wound treated.
He now resides in John’s room where he enjoys spending time in the secured outdoor enclosure and napping in one of the covered cat beds inside the shelter.
Hank would love to find a home of his own after spending 7 years at the shelter, If he sounds like the cat for you, come on down and adopt Hank today.
Rattlesnake in the Manzanita Bushes
Image by M. Dolly
Stay a good five feet away from that bush
Listen carefully at the beginning of this footage you can hear the end of the rattle sound. The main sound startled me a good 15 paces away. If there is one regret I have from this hike, it would be that I did not think to start filming right away and hear more of it it!
This is the first time I've encountered an angry rattler, though I've many times wondered what it would be like and if it would end badly.... Happily this time ended super cool and we just continued on our merry separate ways.
If you notice most of the snakes and other animals appear rather relaxed in my photos, and not in their defensive posture and this is because I tread well, like a ninja.

Billie Bob Video
Image by Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue
Billie Bob is sociable but was under-socialized as a kitten. He will rub against your legs and purr to be petted. He gets a long well with some cats, but sometimes prefers to have the attention all to himself and will strike at cats who try to steal it away from him. Billie Bob loves to hang out in the backyard on sunny days and sit on the laps of his favorite people. Billie Bob came to the shelter when he and 3 others were found in a home with his deceased owner.
