Panther found it!

The Panther found the second closed trap for Team A! This was the second time in the day for us to check the traps in the afternoon- drumroll please.... Panther found one and it was heavier that the first trap we found in the morning!
Dr. Christina Buesching needed to open this since she knew which mystery critter was in it because of the traps weight!



Voila - it was a ground squirrel or a chipmunk!
Alvin was so friskie! We think he was curious and gotten himself trapped!








We still had to weigh him - did not scruff.
Alvin a boy ground squirrel, is an adult, and weighs 80 grams! imagine that!

Mr. Pembroke, my partner and I did the same - catch and release but this time we didnt test him out with the timidity tray.
Watch for the upcoming video on this!
