From jbendery (Jennifer Bendery) — I learned today that there are endangered squirrels, and apparently they have ginormous tails. (h/t @kate_sheppard) pic.twitter.com/Uu4QxiDa5M
A lot of punchlines possible, e.g., ‘if the squirrels weren’t slow, maybe they wouldn’t be endangered.’
Still a rather unique sign, no?
I wonder where it is? This sign marks habitat in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland for the Delmarva fox squirrel.
Update: Well, maybe not wholly unique; World Wildlife Fund has this one — again, without a note about location.

We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.
If you find a dead link, please leave a comment to that post, and tell us what link has expired.
Thanks!

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Kate Sheppard on Twitter confirmed the sign in the post is at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.

Hmmm. Maybe from the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge?
