Does anyone here work on ringtails (Bassariscus astutus) either in the wild or in captivity, or have in the past? Have any anecdotes about them in any way? Know anyone who has had them legally or illegally as pets? I'm doing an article on them for TX Parks & Wildlife mag but the anecdotes don't have to be from TX.
On another note I survived my 2-week shark diving expedition and you can read/see pics of the amazing research being done at Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea between Australia and Papua New Guinea at the Discovery Channel Expedition Shark blog I did while there: http://blogs.discovery.com/expedition_shark There is actually one more about to be posted tomorrow I think, a final wrapup about the fears people have of sharks and how relatively unfounded they are since you can swim and dive within arm's length of them and they don't pay you any mind - even when there's food and they're in a frenzy. They're amazing animals. And I'm starting up another 6-wk online writing class May 17 if anyone's interested! Wendee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wendee Holtcamp, M.S.
