- My buddy is on a quest to be the first to photograph all forty species of wild cats. He's at 38 of 40 (I'm at 7, so I don't think I've got any chance of winning.) He's trying to finish up within the next six months or so, and is currently down in Chile trying to get a güiña. He recently told me, though, that his victory may be short lived, as a group of scientists reviewing cat species are likely about to break some of the small cats up into additional separate species and he'll have to get those too.
- That is simultaneously so heartwarming and so silly. Please sit him down and have a long, serious talk about cladistics!
The kids are learning about it earlier and earlier these days, you know — it’s better that he heard that species don’t exist from you.
