tsirtalisDescription
I usually only upload my herp sightings to HerpMapper.org, but thought I'd duplicate this one here since it is apparently the first record in iNaturalist.

Sonoran Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana ssp. sonoriensis)Observer
jilldevitoDescription
Wild Sonoran pronghorn, presumably an alumnus from the captive breeding program, interacting with the captive herd on the other side of the fence. (Note: this area is closed to the public; I was there on duty as a resident volunteer).
It was a good day for encounters because about an hour later we saw a herd of five wild pronghorn crossing King Road at a run, a mile or so south of the pen. Several had ear tags and at least one had a radio collar.

A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.

kent_ozmentDescription
I've never seen this behavior before. I thought it was a turtle at first glance. It stayed in this position until I had completely passed by, them emerged an flew toward the clutch observed nearby.
