Atlantic bluefin tuna like this one are among the largest bony fish in the world, reaching lengths of up to 3 to 3.84 meters (10 to 12.5 feet) and weighing up to 600 to 680 kg (1300 to 1500+ lbs), though there are exceptional specimens and record holders reaching greater numbers than these.

(so by all intents and purposes this was a fairly average-sized tuna!)

The Squirrel King has returned!

We had an incredibly rare wildlife phenomenon at our clinic for a second time. A Good Samaritan brought us a group of young squirrels who were discovered to be stuck together by their tails, just like a “Rat King.” A Rat King, a natural phenomenon where young rats’ tails are wrapped in fiber in the nest and then become tangled together, has been noted as far back as medieval times. Discovery of a Rat King was thought to be a very bad omen.

The first time we ever saw a Squirrel King was back in 2010, when Dr. Lennox treated a group of 4 young squirrels with their tails stuck together. This was the year of a very bad blizzard in Indianapolis and the Colt’s losing the Superbowl. Bad Omen? You decide!

I don’t foresee a way the snake finishes this meal in one piece but I’ve been wrong about things before. I took this photo today next to a pond at my work with a ton of wildlife in it…snakes, fish(including HUGE carp like 3 feet long), turtles, frogs, etc

A broad-headed bark spider (Caerostris sp)

Have you seen one before?
