Here is an interesting series of photos about fishing in Alaska. There are huge waves, giant crabs, and a feisty cat. Having read so much about fisheries in the last few years, it is nice to have some visuals to accompany my thinking. Here are my favourites:
- Man, cat, crab
- Big waves
- Crab and boots
- Man, cat, crab redux
- Crane and seabirds
- Trawler/processor in Alaska
PS. Be advised that a few of the advertisements on the original page may not be work appropriate.
the guy who wrote the piece makes me glad that i respectfully declined to do a summer of salmon fishing (paid, of course) for some family friends.
I don’t see what makes the cat so feisty. Seems pretty normal to me.
Likely to go extinct within 10 years, according to Scientific American:
Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat Lasiorhinus krefftii Wombats are Australian marsupials with burly builds, stocky legs and powerful claws for burrowing underground tunnels. The northern hairy-nosed variety is the largest wombat, growing as long as one meter and as heavy as 40 kilograms. It also has exceptionally soft fur and a clumsy, waddling gait (yet can run as fast as 40 kilometers per hour). A mere 100 individuals survive in a small, protected area in Queensland.
