🌿 Wetlands = Nature’s superheroes! They:
✔ Act like sponges, soaking up water 💧
✔ Clean and filter our water 🏞️
✔ Store carbon to fight climate change 🌱
✔ Provide essential wildlife habitat 🦆

Your pet store goldfish after two years in the wild: ‘Call me Megalodon.’
This goldfish isn’t supposed to be here. But someone released it, thinking they were being kind. Instead, they created an invasive problem that can last decades.

I discuss how geology impacts American Badger habitat in “Wildlife, Landscapes, and Geology: An Alberta and Saskatchewan Touring Guide”. brokenpoplars.ca
American Badgers prefer to live in non-forested grasslands and shrublands. Soil types and the availability of prey are the most important factors for how they select their habitat!

The Richardson's ground squirrel (gopher) is a species that understandably doesn't get a lot of appreciation. But they're an integral part of the prairie ecosystem! Many of our species at risk depend on them for food and for the burrows they dig. #SquirrelAppreciationDay

Sand dunes across the prairies provide habitat for Ord's kangaroo rats, hognose snakes, & prairie rattlesnakes. The dunes originated when glacial lakes drained & strong winds blew sand on exposed shorelines. Check out "Wildlife, Landscapes, and Geology". brokenpoplars.ca

DYK? Coyotes and Badgers share a symbiotic relationship and can work together to hunt gophers and prairie dogs! This is proven to be more successful than hunting alone. Forming an unique friendship on the prairies!

Now is a great time to try and spot young short-horned lizards in southeastern Alberta’s badlands. Females typically give birth near the end of July and are not much bigger than a penny when born! #alberta #grasslands
