This week's Wildlife Wednesday is about the Spiny Dogfish!

Our Saltwater friend here is full of surprises, from what it eats to where it lives! It loves temperatures from 44.6°F to 59°F, so it doesn't like cold or hot water, but warm water is just right for this Dogfish! They also have some species that are facing vulnerabilities in their communities due to the fishing and trading of these animals.

With the possibility of them becoming endangered, it is important to help in any way we can, from talking to lawmakers to even fishing communities! If not for the Dogfish, then for the food chain that will be impacted by their disappearance!

It's starting again, folks! Migration Season!

With the seasons changing soon, the birds sense this and are making their way south for some warm weather. Migration also leads to window strikes. This is where birds see past the window, not noticing it is there, and they hit it! This can stun or even kill birds, so keep vigilant this fall and even make window decor so your local birds flying through don't hit your windows!

If you do run into a hurt bird, contacting facilities that deal with birds, like wildlife vets or category 2 wildlife rehabbers, might be able to help! Don't feed the bird, handle it carefully, and keep it in a dark place, like in a box with part of it closed. Darkness calms animals, but make sure they can still have room to breathe. Sometimes time takes care of the bird when it is stunned, but worse issues require medical attention!

And as always, enjoy this changing of the seasons!

Happy World Lizard Day!

Today we're celebrating lizards of all shapes and sizes! With nearly 7,800 recognized species around the world, there's an amazing variety to discover—from colorful iguanas and speedy geckos to fascinating chameleons, massive monitor lizards, and even legless lizards that look just like snakes!

Do you have a pet lizard? We'd love to see it! Share a photo of your scaly companion in the comments or tell us which lizard species you think is the coolest. Let's celebrate these incredible reptiles together!

Just a week away!
