You've clearly never seen 'em when they get wet... Imgur

Words to live by. Motivation... Bootsyvation.

I love you, dickhead. You better be around next time I make it back home. I don't care that this isn't a question.

I take part in a lot of "citizen science" research on reptiles and amphibians, as well as fish throughout the United States, and, as you know, it's amazing how much useful information we can get from "regular people."

This AMA is incredibly fascinating and I'm looking forward to taking some time tonight to look more into the projects.

I grew up in Northern California and have always had a major fascination with sharks of all species and have been lucky enough to dive with a few species, mostly Leopards, Smoothounds, and a couple Blues. Even in these smaller species, you can see they possess and incredible level of intelligence. I just moved to Florida a month ago, and I'm hoping to get out diving here soon, though it's mostly Blacktips and Bonnetheads in my area.

Are Whales known around the coasts of Florida? I imagine they show up in the Bahamas and Caribbean at least...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer all of our questions and spread the knowledge on such a fascinating animal.

This is the number one owl I always hope to see here in California, but no luck yet. They're fascinating little guys! Do you have any tips on spotting these guys? I know they range in the coastal mountains around me, but I have no idea how common they are in our area.
