Twitter Tuesday Week 4

For this week's Twitter Tuesday, I followed many accounts that are focused on nature as a whole instead of a specific species. I think some of them may help my classmates! The first account I recommend to my classmates is Wildlands Network. This account focuses on restoring the wild in North America. More importantly, they post videos and pictures of wild animals and they are very cute! The second account I recommend is Habitat 2030. This account focuses on protecting the wildness and restoring nature. They post many of their research results in the form of data, which would be strong evidence to support our claim when we are doing our own research. The third account I recommend is Am Soc Mammalogists. This name stands for American Society of Mammalogists. They focus on promoting the interest in the study of mammals. They post interesting facts about mammals and they are very fun to read! I think these accounts may help me in my research because they provide a lot of information about our environment and current events. I hope these accounts will provide you guys some interesting information that may be helpful for your research!

This week, I made my first thread! It is so cool to chain up the tweets and connect them to a bigger story. The most amazing part is that there is no more character limit! You can write as much as you want by adding more tweet pages to your thread. For the thread, I wrote about a scicomm I found about mating habits and some features about coyotes. The male coyotes, just like our dads, would do whatever they could to protect us and our moms. The mating period of coyotes is around the beginning of the year. Therefore, the daddy coyotes would patrol their territory more often to secure their families' safety and make sure their pups would be safely born in April. This is a very interesting piece to read because it explains that wild animals also care about their families, which shows that they are behaving based on their intelligence, not solely on their instinct.

The most interesting I read on Twitter this week is that using solar energy can also protect wild animals! I thought using solar energy only helps humans save money. But it is actually helping the entire Earth by protecting our environment. The wild animals would have better living conditions and more resources to rely on. There is another cause to convert gasoline energy to solar energy.

In addition to receiving information from Twitter, I also read some of my classmates' blogs this week! I read and responded to Tiffany Nguyen and Anachal Patel's blogs. On Anachal's website, I read her week 3 reflection. She recommended many cool accounts on Twitter and it helped me a lot! I can see why Anachal is recommending those accounts and I would likely use them as a resource in my own research. I also learned that foxes can build multi-chamber dens to protect their families and secure their living safety. It is really cool information that I never knew before! I left a question in her comment area about how the foxes accomplish that hard work with their tiny paws. On Tiffany's website, I read her blog of Bird Brain Thoughts. She went very in-depth for the documentary and I learned something I missed when I was watching it on my own. I love she shared that birds keep getting smarter through experience and become more adaptive to the world. This is very cool information because it shows that the birds are absolutely intelligent and they are behaving based on it. I left a question for her for some details about how birds and wolves because more adaptive to the world.
