Great stuff this week! I was glad to see that some of the “romantic notions” of cetaceans saving humans as it was termed by Tom Hird was tempered somewhat. NatGeo’s SharkFest has been both good and sometimes a bit out there with some of the “science” presented.
So it’s nice to see at least some measure of not going full-on baloney.
And that interactive site of Crawford Lake is excellent!
I'm pretty sure that the 1st kangaroos arrived in Britain in the 18th century given to King George and Queen Charlotte – bred like rabbits to the point where they tried to give them away, but few actually wanted them.
Some idiot introduced Wallabies to New Zealand where they are now considered a pest. Although partly because they eat the profits of farmers and exotic forest owners.

Good round up!

Excellent news this week!
The Crawford Lake piece was fascinating, thank you for sharing :)
