“Ecosystems are complex webs, especially undersea ecosystems. We do the best we can with divers and observational experimental studies, but this is a massive change. It’s like the biggest experiment of the last hundred years.” -@drewcoral If I had to pick one topic to talk about for the rest of my life, I think it would be sea stars. But don't worry, I won't do that to y'all. Instead, I'll just be talking about it for 20 min in the next podcast episode! Exciting update on one of my podcast guests! I interviewed Jessie last November about her bear sightings, and she mentioned that she really wanted to see a glacier bear, a black bear with a silvery pelt. Well, during her time in Alaska and British Columbia this year, she saw one! She saw a Kermode (spirit) bear too, which is also a black bear but this time with white coloring. I've started exploring land creatures, as well as ocean creatures! And of course I'm going to draw sphagnum moss, one of the best plants for forest ground cover, for the creation of fun bog ecosystems, and for that vibrant yellow-green color in the spring. “That’s something I love about the Cascades, you have the beautiful greens and forests and wildflowers, right up to the edge of the glaciers. So you have all that color before all that dramatic ice.” -@jillpelto More marine mammals! Along with all the usual mammal definitions, like live births and hair, marine mammals also call the ocean home. So yes, technically a polar bear is a marine mammal! “They don’t deserve to be feared, they deserve to be respected.” – Abby Tinari Insert a "plenty of fish in the sea" joke here. "I don't call them shark attacks anymore. My little brother Nate decided to start calling them shark hugs. Because they don't really want you... you know, as a human in a bunch of rubber and fiberglass and foam. So really it was just a hug." -@benfurbee
