Every year we have the opportunity to see healthy fox pups emerge from their dens! Our fox team proactively leads the island fox population monitoring, demography, and veterinary-pathology program on San Clemente Island 🦊
I will be studying the survival and cause-specific mortality of island fox pups 🦊
To date, our understanding of island fox pup survival and mortality is a knowledge gap that warrants further investigation.
Y’all, I was accepted into the Natural Resources (Wildlife) graduate program at @humboldtcalpoly 🦊🎉

I’m humbled to meet young Kenyans volunteering their precious time to community based conservation. Could not be prouder of them. Friends of Ondiri Swamp coordinator Lydia Kalekye is doing amazing work to save this unique tropical quaking bog #Kenya #wetlands

Island fox pups are born in caves, rock crevices, human-made structures, underground, and hollows under dense brush. These dens provide protection during their first few weeks of life where they are vulnerable to potential predators and the elements of weather.

Listen to some of this wolf pup’s first howls from only a few weeks ago! A little warning: the pup is pretty loud for only being 4-weeks old! (1/7)

One of my favorite things about working on the tundra is the variety of animal track "states" that you can find.
First up: absolutely picture perfect, fresh wolf tracks
I’ve been watching these pups for a month now, and they’ve grown from furry little cotton balls to miniature foxes 🥺
It’s the time of year that island fox pups are venturing outside their dens more frequently. This pup was sitting right outside it’s den, patiently waiting for mom the return from her hunt 🌾

These young oaks will be transplanted around the island to reinforce the existing oak stands. A lot of time and resources will go into these babies, but one day there will hopefully be more beautiful oak groves on SCI 🌱
The SDSU Research Foundation collects acorns from current stands of Channel Island oaks on San Clemente Island and germinates them in a green house. Acorns that were collected last year have successfully grown into seedlings (baby oaks) 🌱
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women worldwide that have persevered despite gender inequalities. There is absolutely nothing that we aren’t capable of.
