Invasive Species from Hell released in Wyoming?
First 90 Kangaroos released in Wyoming!

(Dubois, Wyo USA) – The Wyoming Wild Game Department (WWGD) partnering with the Wyoming Migration Initiative (WMI) have released the first of 5 planned batches of 90 Antilopine Kangaroos into the Wyoming outdoors.

Dubbed “Project Sage Hopper” by the WWGD team responsible for evaluating the viability of Wyoming’s habitat for Australian marsupials, it has been in the planning stages for 3 years. The goal is two-fold: Create new and interesting wildlife viewing opportunities for tourists, and in several years, potentially provide additional hunting opportunities.

“Antilopine means ‘antelope-like, so we are interested to see how these kangaroos adapt to Wyoming’s wild landscapes,” WMI Director Matt Kauffman said. “If they start migrating, we’ll be tracking their movements, looking to see how they learn to exploit the sage steppe and the mountains, where they ‘hopover,’ those sorts of things.”

“This wasn’t an easy project; the international permitting in particular was a huge hassle. Identifying a species that would meet our goals and be able to thrive in Wyoming’s strongly seasonal habitat.” added Kauffman. “If we can get these Aussie macropods established and breeding, they are likely to thrive with continued climate change in Wyoming’s already semi-arid climate. Additionally, we believe with their large hind legs, they’ll be able to effectively defend themselves from coyotes, wolves and other predators. Trust me: You don’t want to be kicked by one of these animals.”

Prepper Country
Lake Pend Oreille is the largest lake in Idaho, covering an immense surface area of 148 square miles, making it the 38th largest lake in the United States. Along with the lake’s area, it is also the fifth deepest in America, reaching depths of up to 1,150 feet at some points. With such a massive presence, Lake Pend Oreille offers a beautiful environment in northern Idaho. Surrounded by national forests and mountainous terrain, the lake produces an enclave of water within nature. Moreover, Lake Pend Oreille sustains many amazing animal species, such as grizzly bears, moose, elk, and mountain goats, making it ideal for wildlife watching. So, when it comes to presence and sheer size, few lakes can match Lake Pend Oreille. And almost everybody who lives here owns at least one gun, but usually more.

The flowering of bamboos is different and varied from species to species and it is not a tree but actually a member of the grass family. Some bamboos flower in stages at the same time throughout the year, while other species bloom periodically, which is influenced by environmental factors. However, it is important to note that flowering bamboos is not a common occurrence. For example, hachiku bamboo only blooms en masse after 120 years and dies shortly thereafter.

BREAKING: Gov DeSantis reportedly says that Florida Fish and Wildlife officers interdicted a vessel with 25 illegal aliens from Haiti. The boat was reportedly carrying drugs, firearms and night vision gear.

In honor of "National Wildlife Day" I present to you my favorite animal, the Red Panda, also known as the Firefox, Firefox's mascot.

I have seen one in person at America's first zoo in Pennsylvania. They do indeed move very quickly. They eat bamboo like their bigger cousins, the black and white pandas.

Lake-Effect Snow from Great Lakes Reaches Unprecedented Low in Mid-February


The Great Lakes region is known for its abundant snowfall during the winter months, with lake-effect snow contributing significantly to the overall snowpack. However, this year has been different, with coverage of the lakes reaching a historic low in mid-February snowfall during the winter months, with lake-effect snow contributing significantly to the overall snowpack. However, this year, the ice coverage on the lakes has reached an unprecedented low in mid-February, with the average temperature across the Great Lakes basin being 36°F (2°C) above normal in January.

The decreased ice coverage has potential consequences for the region's ecosystems and economy

The lack of ice cover can be attributed to warmer-than-usual temperatures in the region, which have prevented the formation of new ice and caused existing ice to melt earlier than usual. In fact, the average temperature across the Great Lakes basin was 36°F (2°C) above normal in January, making it the warmest January on record.

While some may welcome the absence of ice, it has significant implications for the environment and local communities. Ice plays an important role in regulating water levels, supporting fish populations, and providing habitat for wildlife. Additionally, the lack of ice cover can lead to increased evaporation, potentially affecting water supplies and shipping operations.

The decrease in ice coverage also impacts recreational activities such as ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing, which are popular pastimes in the region. Many businesses that rely on these activities have suffered losses due to the unseasonably warm weather.

However, not everyone is disappointed by the lack of ice. Shippers and cargo operators are benefiting from the open waters, as they can navigate the lakes more easily without having to worry about ice restrictions.

Despite the current conditions, it's important to note that ice coverage can fluctuate rapidly, and there's still a possibility of ice forming later in the season. The NOAA forecast suggests that ice coverage could rebound slightly in the coming weeks, but it's unlikely to reach historical averages.

In conclusion, while the unprecedented low ice coverage on the Great Lakes may bring some benefits to certain industries, it raises concerns about the long-term effects of climate change on the region's ecosystems and economy. As temperatures continue to rise, it's essential to monitor the situation closely and take steps to mitigate any negative consequences.
