Just a Florida Man communicating a love for nature and all the absolutely wacky things it does.
I'm also a paleo-enthusiast who enjoys doing some wildlife photography.

I used to breed N. venustus years ago, wonderful fish, but I'm shocked to see them established in Utah of all places.
However, a rapidly growing practice here in Florida is keeping Rift Lake cichlids outdoors in koi ponds, which worries me for spreading through flooding or waterfowl.

In searching warm springs across the western US, there are a few pet species that seem to be commonly released, like convict cichlids and goldfish.
I also come across some really unusual ones, like the giraffe cichlids that are really common at a warm lake in Utah.

I desperately need y'all to put together follow lists like this for other wildlife science fields (herpetology, ornithology, entomology, etc) as well as paleo fields.
I've made a starter pack of scientists who study sharks and rays, and environmental advocates who work to protect them.
Follow these fine folks, and let me know if I missed anyone! 🧪🦑🌎

Thrilled to share: out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social (!) just in time for Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist. Fibular reduction enabled mid-drumstick mobility, unlocking extreme knee long-axis rotation in theropods 🍗🦖🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08251-w

Pygmy Rattlesnakes have always fascinated me. Not only for being the smallest Rattlesnake but also for their strange population dynamics here in Fl. In areas where you find Pygmies you will find tons of them in dense numbers but they become quite rare outside of those population centers.

Albino Turkey Vultures are frankly a lot prettier than I thought they'd be.

Color me surprised to see an actual venomous snake listed on a trail sign.
I have looked at trail signs all over Florida looking for one that actually posts venomous snakes on their board (especially when I know they can be found there).
I imagine most signs avoid mentioning venomous on purpose.

While the ideas of "splitters" and "lumpers" often lead to heated debates, and I often tend to keep my hat out of that ring, there are those few instances where I will take a stand.
The most prevalent of all for me being the situations surrounding the memebers of the genus Iguana.
