They are so fuckin huge dude.

They have one of the largest wingspans of any bird. Like their wingspan is ~9.5 feet.

Yeah check out my comment on the Santa Cruz salamander.

See my other comment about California condors. I actually got to be part of their rehabilitation efforts and thanks to the university I worked with we got them from about 27 total known individuals left to over 170 last data I can find.

So rare I don’t even know if they still exist.

I did some field biology work back in the mid 2000s and this is the only reason I know this.

There is also the California Condor and a species of kangaroo rat in the Mojave. The former is less rare now due to an immense amount of work we did to save the species to the point where they actually got removed from the endangered list at one point.

Look at this little guy though

As for the Condors:

The condor population (wild and captive) has steadily increased, reaching over 460 in 2017 (with 170 wild condors in California). For the most current update check out the Condor Population Status Summary (PDF)

Back when I was doing field work they were down to only 27 and all had been moved to captivity.

The situation with the salamander is much more dire

Its limited range and fragile specialized habitat place severe restrictions to the viability of this species. There is no definitive population estimate for the Santa Cruz long-toed salamander, but the numbers are deemed to be quite small. Further disturbance of its limited habitat could lead to this species’ extinction.

Probably my hatchet, first aid kit, and a duffel bag I keep packed with all weather gear and a small tent as well as my headlamp, survival knife, and half a dozen MREs

I’m not even a “collapse is imminent” prepper kinda guy but it’s better to be safe than sorry, you never know.

Is this a glib joke about the pager attack because if so not fuckin cool man.

No I am correctly calling you a hitler level Nazi apologist

Yes and that is where you are wrong, China intervened on behalf of the north after the US started meddling in what would have been a much less violent workers revolution because the US then as it is now is hell bent on not allowing any socialist revolution to succeed. You are carrying water for fascists and you should count yourself lucky I am being nice about it because the mods here are very adamant we remain civil. You do not want to know what I actually want to say to you but if you do, go make a post on hexbear talking about this bullshit and I will gladly tear you several new orifices.

Educate yourself you gormless lib https://blowback.show/Season-3

Yes you are being correctly called out for downplaying one of the worst crimes of humanity of the 20th century and attributing blame onto it’s victims. I seriously hope @[email protected] bans you for this.

You’re doing holocaust denial level of Nazi shit right now dude.

China did not invade and the north did not start the war. This is fucking hitler levels of excusing a crime against humanity orchestrated by the united states.

Seriously please listen to blowback season three for basic education on the Korean War you don’t know wtf you are talking about.

Tibet was a slave state when it was liberated during the revolution and this map states clearly “after the PRC was founded” piss off with this lib ass well ackshually shit.

Lmao another one?!

💯 this person owns stake in one or both of those sites. Reactionaries are incredibly easy to grift but the sad part is this shit also works.

I got to see it opening weekend with my mom and stepdad who took me to see it because I wasn’t 13 yet but was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs to a more academic extent than your average 9 year old even has any business being. The box office had a giant hand sculpted pterodactyl in a nest on top of it which was one of the coolest things ever.

You should also definitely read the books, there is a much stronger emphasis on how capitalism makes everything shittier and endangers workers and compromises scientific integrity, which makes it especially shameful that toward the end of his life Crichton turned into a fuckin climate change denying right wing crank.

Jurassic Park hands down.
