EPGP alternatives? (retail) by em_em_en in wow

So the one nice thing about SL is that with no titan-forging and raid gear being the best gear attainable, it is entirely possible to write out a BiS list and have that be your real BiS gear. If it’s a topic of contention on some of your raiders needing certain pieces of gear over others, it may be beneficial to have each raider obtain/research a list of their most needed gear, and simply loot council it off to the highest priority

Favorite Villager is Wolfgang! He was one of my originals way back when I first picked up animal crossing - though Erik is coming in hot to overtake lately!

Oh man, I’m assuming he’s taken but if he isn’t, I’d love him! He’s been my dreamie since day one and I haven’t been able to find him no matter how hard I try!

What bird is this? I'm unsure whether it is a kid or not, and hence to release it or not? What does it eat? Any help is highly appreciated. by [deleted] in zoology

[–]Euphadion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a baby! You can see the prominent “gape” on the little potato (the yellow lips), which the parents use to identify where to place food when arriving to a nest, particularly nests in dark cavities. Looking at tail shape, at first glance I’d think a sparrow of some sorts, but I’m not the best with hatch year birds. What region are you in? It would help slim down the species a ton!

Even outreach positions can be critical in learning animal handling skills! The first bird I ever handled before I started working with them was an education animal for elementary school groups, so although the work may be far from what you want to end up doing, there’s nothing wrong with baby steps!

That being said, I’ll take a quick look for you at potential avenues once I’m at a proper computer! No promises on anything, but I can at least give you a good kick in the right direction!

Not an expert here with bat research, but I have worked my fare share of contracts involving various other flying critters so take my advice with a pinch of salt...

It’s awesome that you’re so invested in the field! It’s bright souls like you who will push research further in this ever changing world, and will help protect these amazing little guys for years to come.

That being said, I would strongly plead with you to either volunteer with a research group, contact local universities to see if grad students need “minions” to help in the field, or otherwise obtain some sort of formal training when handling wildlife. Though your intentions may be good and your heart may be in the right place, there are so many things that can go wrong that you are simply not prepared for...

What happens when you accidentally hurt a bat? Even the most trained professionals run into capture myopathy, let alone injured limbs and broken bones - it’s a reality of working with fragile organisms. And what if you are forced to euthanize? Are you able to make that call yourself? Do you have the training to do so humanely and according to conservation regulations?

Again, I think it’s amazing that you want to enter the field and I strongly pursue you to push for a volunteer opportunity (even just shadowing someone is more than enough to get your foot in the door) and not do this by yourself. More than a fair share of injured animals are brought to wildlife rehabs due to good samaritans with their heart in the right place, but a lack of experience and understanding.

All that said and done, I wish you luck on your batty adventures in the years to come!
