It would be nice if you did a thing for kids (an app? Shorted stories, wit pictures etc??)too my 7 year old grandson would be absolutely fascinated in all these add facts.
Cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion! I have a background in elementary education, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for me. It's finding the bandwidth to do it. But I'll definitely consider it!
Thanks for another fascinating article. I never thought about what hibernating meant for a bear's toilet habits. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about stumbling across a bear, or bear poo, in the wilds of New Zealand.
Every time I've seen one (other than the story I relate here) it seems like I'm about the 4th person in the line of hikers/mountain bikers, and I only catch a glimpse of the bear's receding tail end. Bears don't like to hang around! It probably pays to be at the front of the group! Good luck seeing one!

You guys do have some amazing animals there, though - do you know if any of them hibernate?
To my knowledge they don't. Our seasons are not as distinct as in continental climates due to our maritime climate, we have very few deciduous trees for example. We do have an insect that can be frozen solid and survive though. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/cold-these-nz-bugs-freeze-solid-and-survive/53ZH57HWPCMEPPKBCH6I65UNAI/
Wow! Pretty cool!
