We’ve got kangaroo mice around here that no one seems to know about.

>> “Are they allowed to do this?” <<
No!
And if you do anything to help them without a guvvermint lie-sends its a serious felony.

I’m well aware of the EPA and the kangaroo rat, but this took place in Baja California (Mexico). So that had nothing to do with it.

They are cute. If they pay me and give me the land to do it, I’ll raise them and increase their numbers dramatically. Play them a little Sinatra, get them some wine soaked nuts, and nature will take its course. In the meantime, I’ll keep a journal and go through some good Cabernet.
To: Neidermeyer
Surprisingly cute critters... Reminds me of chipmunksbut to hold them, you have to bribe them with seeds!

And I'm well aware of where it occurred, I was speaking to the insanity of disrupting
MAN for creatures insignificantly different from others, to protect them.
So sorry that I didn't point out that out and bold face it in my original post.
Or if your point is that it's just happening in third world Mexico, well OK.

So, the kangaroo rats need a license? How do they get such a license? Can they pay in seeds? My sentence referred to the rats who had the audacity to defy the government and come back from extension. It was humor. Thank you anyway.

It looks suspiciously like the desert kangaroo rat which is all over the south west.

Thank you very much for sending those links. However, when dealing with Kangaroo Rats, the specific species must be very important, or so say the scientists. In two of these articles, they are concerned about the Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat which may be breeding like rabbits these days. The other article is about the Tipton Kangaroo Rat.
Our little story is about the San Quintin Kangaroo Rat, nothing to do with the other little kangaroo rats. I’m guessing that people who live around kangaroo rats better become experts at distinguishing the various species. If you run over with your brush hog a herd of San Quintin kangaroo rats that you thought were Stephen’s kangaroo rats it could become a Federal case.

Yes. Be advised, the official definition of extinction in the government vocabulary is probably far from what you might expect. In official lingo, extinction is often used to describe population loss
in a defined locale or micro ecosystem. Thus a common minnow known as the snail darter was defined as threatened with extinction if the Tombigbee river was dammed. The fact that it proliferated abundantly in many other rivers was unimportant to the legal attempt to block the dam construction.
Yeah. Deep state shit been going on a long time.

I bet they taste like squirrel.

Good luck. If this rat had indeed become extinct, some other varmint would have filled the ecological niche and nature would have moved on without noticing.All the grad students in the world could not have shown otherwise.
