Okapi (Okapi Johnstoni), otherwise known as the Forest Giraffe, is the only other member of the Giraffidae Family. They are an Endangered species living near the Congo River of Africa, spending its days eating figs, ferns, and other wonderful plant treats. Most identifiable by their latter half zebra stripes and undoubtable ossicones, this precious creature is an underrated spectacle of Earth that we must protect.

Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus Aegyptiacus) is a species of Megabat. An avid lover of fruit, this bat is a wonderful pollinator and disperser of seeds. These friends live in colonies up to the thousands and engage in synchronized sex and birth. Being one of the only species of Fruit Bat to use echolocation, this creature is a unique and vital part of our ecosystem.

Fisher (Pekania Pennanti) is a large, mostly carnivorous member of the Mustelid family. Inhabiting boreal forests across North America, the Fisher is adept at climbing but prefers to dwell on the forest floor. Their name directly comes from the fishbait that 18th century trappers would use to lure Fishers into traps for the fur trade. Fisher is an animal that has come "back from the brink," conservation efforts skyrocketing their species from critically endangered to least concern. They sport the label of being "small but mighty;" they are able to drop bobcats and even humans wouldn't want to go toe to toe with this unique member of the Mustelids.

Check out this video from a trailcam of a Fisher climbing a tree!

- 5/4/25 I have been extremely fixated on the bush dog lately!!! they are sooo cute and I feel like if I turned into a canine, I would turn into them! I am going to make my next animal of the day about them. I am so excited to have the time to read more about them!!

- 5/4/25 I am going to do some field research this summer; I am hoping to catch a glimpse of a southern flying squirrel---a most elusive friend! I recently learned you can distinguish their age based upon the shape of their head! I went gaga at this information!

- 5/4/25 I have been seeing chameleons everywhere! They are my lucky charm ^-^ I know I am getting such a wonderful sign, a hug, a kiss on the forehead, encouragement, motivation, comfort, or any postive sign when chameleon crosses my path. I got to buy a tiny chameleon figure today for only $1, it made me so happy! It is my first chameleon trinket I own---about time too! I have been getting signs from the chameleon for years and I am feeling their presence especially so lately and getting signs from everywhere! Thank you, my ever-watching friend.
