Still shaving elephant shrews


We have one more week in Ezemvelo shaving elephant shrews and rock rats--the experiment is going very well other than the fact that elephant shrews are a pain to recapture. Regardless, they are still the coolest little animal I've ever worked with. We will be back in town next Wednesday and I'll be around for most of the next month. We go back to Ezemvelo the first week of September to recapture animals carrying temperature dataloggers and then leave the first week of October to go catch pangolins in the central part of South Africa.

In other news, Bats of Missouri, which I wrote with John Timpone and Lynn Robbins is in the final stages of preperation. It is at the publisher now and they hope to have the final layout in the near future. The cover is finalized and I don't think it looks too bad, although I'm not a huge fan of the red.
