Nature Nugget: The Flannan Isle Mystery

Nutter Butters

Hey there Nature Nerds! Enjoy this week's full episode all about Squirrels! Also, think of Jen and Megan as they grab some Nutter Butters and hunker down for an incoming Typhoon! &lt;3Organization to Support: Red Squirrel Survival Trusthttps://www.rsst.org.uk/RED SQUIRRELS ARE HEADING FOR EXTINCTIONRed Squirrels are the UK’s only native squirrel and have lived here longer than humansTOGETHER WE CAN SAVE THEMThe Grey SquirrelThe introduction of grey squirrels from America between 1876 and 1929 and their rapid spread had a devastating impact on red squirrel populations in the British Isles. In contrast to the red squirrel which has evolved in Britain over millennia, the heavier grey squirrel lives in denser populations than British woodland can sustain.FoodThe higher population density of the larger grey squirrel results in a higher daily food requirement from its habitat. It can eat a greater variety of plant foods at an earlier stage of maturity. For example, red squirrels find unpalatable the tannin in acorns, a plentiful and high energy food source favoured by greys which will also eat all the other foods eaten by reds. The outcome is inevitable: the red squirrels are literally starved out.DiseaseGrey squirrels are carriers of squirrel-pox virus and often remain asymptomatic. The disease is devastating for red squirrels and an outbreak can wipe out the majority or all of a local population. Infected individuals can take up to two weeks to die, often starving to death as they are unable to feed themselves.They aim to:· Raise awareness of the plight of red squirrels· Protect red squirrels by keeping red and grey squirrels apart· Fund research on how to secure the long term future of the red squirrel in the UK· Encourage successful populations of red squirrels· Reintroduce red squirrels within the UK where conditions are right· Secure the red squirrel’s natural environment by ensuring our woodlands are healthyReferences: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-59819349 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/08/squirrel-attacks-nyc-neighborhood-fear https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/buckley-grey-squirrel-stripe-attack-biting-village-wales-residents-b974135.html https://www.nola.com/news/vicious-squirrel-attacks-elderly-slidell-man-causing-significant-injuries-authorities-say/article_abbe15e0-c627-11ec-85e6-4b5c44d8f87a.html https://6abc.com/squirrel-attacks-aggressive-squirrels-queens-rego-park-65th-drive-and-fitchett-street/9233808/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/carleton-place-squirrel-1.6385340 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/alabama-mans-trial-keeping-meth-fueled-attack-squirrel-delayed-rcna13654 https://fox59.com/news/national-world/vicious-squirrel-attack-sends-louisiana-man-to-hospital/ https://blog.nwf.org/2015/01/10-nutty-facts-to-make-you-appreciate-squirrels/ https://www.treehugger.com/happy-squirrel-appreciation-day-4868817 https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/7-fascinating-facts-about-squirrels/ https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/10-nutty-facts-about-squirrels/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/squirrels https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgp9x4/the-story-of-primal-astrology-how-one-man-created-an-entire-horoscope https://www.primalastrology.com/ https://www.primalastrology.com/squirrel.html

Hey Hey Nature Nerds! Welcome to our first full episode for 2023! This week Jen talks all things Beavers! Thanks to listener Bunny Tuna Ducky for the suggestion! Organization to Support: The Beaver Coalition - <a href="http://beavercoalition.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beavercoalition.org</a> The mission of The Beaver Coalition is to empower humans to partner with beavers through education, science, advocacy, and process-based restoration. As a nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to facilitating a paradigm shift in society’s understanding of beavers. We envision a future in which there is widespread public support for a return of beavers and their work as ecosystem engineers to the waterways of North America. We believe clean, abundant water resources and functioning stream systems are universal needs for the health and wellbeing of people and the places they live.
