Wed videos (hopefully)

hopefully the videos work. Otherwise I will put them in youtube again. Sorry about the technical difficulties!!!

It doesn't seem to like me posting videos. I've posted it to youtube again.

Wed-- my first vole!

Wed-- me removing the vole from the trap

Wed--me releasing the vole (the end where the vole is released is cut off)

Dear Ms. Krekeler, I just really wish you would have kept the vole. It would have been a good thing to have for a pet. I miss you and hope you have a good flight coming back in two weeks.

Hi Mrs Krekeler,
I saw that video of you holding the vole. It looked very cute. I'm expecting that the vole is about 9cm long. What other animals are you going to be able to hold? I think you clip their hair so you know that you already caught it.

your videos are so cool, although i was bumed that the vole release got cut off. I was wondering the voles look a lot like mice are they a typ of rodent or is that just what they call mice in Nova Scotia.

Hi Mrs.Krekeler! I watched the movie, and im wondering why do you clip the hair and what measurements were you wieghing the vole in? Anyway im glad to know that you have caught something 'cause' that would be really depressing and that would be bad for your research. Anyway hope you catch more.

Dear Ms. Krekeler,
What are voles? Are they related to the mice family?

Whats up Mrs. Krekeler
I have been very amazed by the things that you have been doing. Why do you hold the voles by the skin and not just holding them.

It would have been soooo cool if you could have brought the vole back for a class pet ( along with Milli). Then we could study it and othre mammals

Dear Mrs. Krekeler,
You are so brave. I really scare touch rat, snake and so on.
Why do you grab without gloves?
I think that you had better touch the animal with gloves.
Congratulations on your success.

Hi Mrs. Krekeler. The voles you caught were soo cute. I was bumbed that the last video was cut off when you we're talking about the pregnant vole. How do you set up the vole trap? Did you name your voles? If you did, what are their names?
