Last hours for all the amphibians! 🐸✨ we’re close to unlocking the first two axolotls!
www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
If we unlock the first two axolotls comfortably (mid €9000) I’ll unlock the last two even if we don’t reach the last goal!

😎 Adonis, can you jack the box?
Can you feel beat?
Oh, it's in my soul
I think I've lost control
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone, ain't no way back

Amazing talk by Laura Torrent at our bat group AGM on her work in Equatorial Guinea. Hours of examining bat specimens stored at the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC), Sevilla, Spain, to analysing field and genetic data from various locations in Equatorial Guinea.
