Heads up, they changed the date, it's on August 11 now.
... which means i can't join after all cause of work...
Meaning more time for me to spot this post!
Reminder, it's today
It was a pretty interesting talk
I hope that we can learn a lot more about this species soon, especially what makes it so difficult to keep rescued hairy nosed otters healthy in captivity
It was also good to hear about how camera traps help study the distribution of the species
