MARCH 7, 2012

Unfortunately for the Green Iguana , which are known to some who eat them as “bamboo chickens” they are, in addition to apparently being rather tasty, one of the most popular reptile pets in the United States though they are difficult to keep and most die in their first year in captivity.

Amplexus can last from a few seconds to a few hours to a few months. This is not a field guide.

And then there was a Green Heron , not only showing us its nest, but also an egg. The reptiles in Parque Tomás Garrido were of the crocodilian variety. This species is relatively common in tropical Mexico, but I certainly never expected to see it nesting in an urban park. And yet, there it was. But what could I do?

And for rodents and reptiles as well. It is probably true that there is a near 100% overlap in the rodents and other small terrestrial animals, as well as ground bird eggs, eaten by Coyotes and feral Cats. Let me tell you this: They are. To some extent, the Cat problem will take care of itself, in some places. Plus, Coyotes eat Cats.

Each year tens of thousands of these gulls go to the islands and each pair will lay three eggs. Most of these clutches of eggs will hatch to produce three fluffy and adorable chicks. By way of an example take the Western Gulls that I studied on the Farallon Islands in California.

Speaking of pregnant snakes, do sea snakes lay their eggs ashore like sea turtles or do they keep them internally until the young are ready to hatch/ be born, like some sharks? These do lay eggs on land and are (reasonably) mobile once they hit the beach. Get yours today! It seems like there is great diversity in this continent.

This may have been partly a leftover from the Victorian fascination with egg collecting (the infamous passion known as oology), but probably more from people’s burgeoning interest in the nests and eggs found in their gardens and fields, gateway artifacts to a newer hobby called birdwatching.
