Elk vs deer1/29/2024 ![]() A bow and arrow can be deployed only at closer range, so a strategy which made stalking difficult was adopted then. Elk deploy differing security strategies in the open seasons for rifle and for bow-and-arrow hunting.Ī bullet can be lethal over several hundred metres, so the wapiti learned to remain hidden when rifles were being used. These were not ‘once bitten, twice shy’ reactions, but measures adopted by the deer to help them cope with perceived dangers. By doing so, they render themselves less likely to be ambushed by hunters.ĭeer also learned to use “secure areas (forest and steeper terrain), especially when close to roads”. Moving about, for example, is risky which is why the wapiti travelled less as they got older. They claim, instead, that wapiti learn from experience and modify their behaviour accordingly.Īs an elk gets older, it becomes more street-wise. The scientists, however, reject this explanation. These ‘braver’ risk-takers would tend to attract the attention of hunters, making them easier to shoot than shyer ones, whose innately secretive ways rendered them difficult to target. How should we interpret this finding? Some individuals might be more adventurous han others. “Female elk are almost invulnerable to human hunters when older than nine or ten years,” the authors claim. The study showed that, as the deer aged, they became progressively more cautious. ![]() ![]() The deer were tracked over a seven-year period, the distances they travelled, the ruggedness of the terrain visited, and the cover it offered being of particular interest to the researchers.Ībout 50% of males and 20% of females in the study area were killed by hunters. ![]() GPS radio-collars were fitted to 49 females.ĭevices in the collars cause them to drop off the animals before the batteries expire. Individuals were captured using ‘net-guns’ fired from a helicopter in Alberta and British Columbia. The Canadian researchers claim that, on the contrary, the reactions of wapiti to the threats they face is remarkably sophisticated. We tend to think that deer, and hoofed vegetarians generally, are stupid, at least compared to the creatures which prey on them. The authors, from the University of Alberta, have been studying the responses of these elk to shooting pressure. ![]()

Screen printing emulsion sheets no frame1/29/2024 ![]() ![]() If it looks dry, you can check it by very gently touching the screen. A small fan blowing gently across it can help speed things up if you can arrange that.Īs long as you're careful not to let too much light in, you can check on it once in a while by peeking into the closet/drawer/box. In general, you're probably looking at about one or two days. Your screen will take varying amounts of time to dry, depending on the emulsion, the thickness of the coat you put on, and the air conditions. It'll probably be in there for a day or two, so keep that in mind, especially in closets and drawers. You should also make sure it won't be exposed to too much dust, dirt, etc. Basically anything that will allow it to lay flat without the screen coming in contact with anything, and will prevent light from getting to it will do. Coating the inside is the cleanest, but depending on the kind of paint, it might be prone to scratching from the frame. Most such containers are fairly transparent, however, so you can get yourself some nice thick black paint and coat the thing in a few layers of that to black out the light. If you're handy with wood, you can make one yourself, or you can just get yourself some sort of rubber storage container big enough for the frame. Other alternatives are to fashion an opaque box big enough to fit the frame in. If you have a dark closet or drawer where you can lay it flat and it won't be disturbed, that's fine. Make sure you dry the screen in a dark location, exposing it to light now will cause over exposure and ruin your stencil. Do the best you can, and remember that on the bottom of the screen (the printing side, or flat side), you can extend the emulsion over the edge of the screen onto the frame, if that helps seal those edges. The edges are particularly prone to this, and will cause stray lines of ink to show up on your print. Make sure to cover entirely both sides of the screen, any holes you leave will allow ink to get through. That's fine, but you'll probably want to add more to the bottom side, still, to get a good coat. Note that after doing the top side, you'll probably have quite a bit of emulsion already pushed through the screen on the bottom side. It is best if it will fit going both the long way and the short way, but as long as it at least fits the long way, you should be ok. You'll want to make sure, therefore, that your squeegee fits inside the frame on the bottom side. Once the top side is coated, flip it over and repeat on the bottom. Use smooth, even, and fairly light strokes of the squeegee to apply a smooth and even layer. ![]() Lay the screen flat, right side up, and pour a thin line of emulsion along one edge of the top side of your screen. You could avoid this if you did the top first, and then the bottom, since the frame itself holds the top up off the surface, but you'll also want to dry the screen with the bottom side down, so you'll need to support it then, anyway. Thumb tacks stuck into the corners of your frame work well for this. Since you'll be applying the emulsion to both sides, you will need some temporary way of supporting the frame when it is side-down. The "bottom" is the side where the screen is flush with the wood frame, and is placed side-down when printing. To clarify in this section, the "top" of the screen is the side that sits embedded in the wooden frame, and is the side from which you apply screen-printing ink. ![]() ![]() You can do this with either a "scoop coater" or a standard squeegee. The way we do this is to spread a thin layer of the emulsion over both sides of our screen. That's perfect for creating a stencil: we'll "toughen" up parts of the stencil that we want to keep solid, and then wash away the rest.Īpplying the Emulsion Essentially, photo emulsion becomes "tougher" when exposed to light, making it more difficult to remove from surfaces. Photo emulsion is thick liquid substance which reacts to light. One of the often preferred methods for making silk screening stencils is the photo emulsion technique. ![]()

Common boa constrictor bone1/28/2024 ![]() ![]() Hunting and dietīoa constrictors tend to be ambush predators that sit and wait for desired prey to pass from their tree perch or burrow, said Heyborne. Along with their tongues, which gather sensory information as they do for most snakes, boa constrictors’ eyes are the primary tools through which they perceive the world, especially since boa constrictors do not have heat-sensory pits like most other members of the Boidae family do. When not clouded, boa constrictors have excellent vision. This affects their vision and as a result, they often stay still for a few days until their vision returns to normal, Heyborne said. When they’re shedding, boa constrictors “tend to become more easily stressed and thus more aggressive,” though that tends to vary from snake to snake and across populations.Īlso when shedding, boa constrictors’ eyes cloud over as a lubricating substance develops under the old skin layer to shield the eye. “Like all snakes, they must shed their skin in order to grow,” said Heyborne. Sometimes they hide in the burrows of medium-sized mammals. Because of their large size, they tend to move in a straight line instead of slithering back and forth like smaller snakes, according to the San Diego Zoo. Though they are good swimmers, they prefer to be on dry land or in trees. These snakes, especially young ones, are semi-arboreal, said Heyborne. ![]() They are mostly nocturnal, though they will sometimes come out during the day to sun themselves in cooler temperatures. Behaviorīoa constrictors are typically solitary, said Heyborne. They are often found near streams or rivers, according to the ADW. ![]() They can also be found in dry tropical deserts and semi-deserts, woodlands, scrub and agricultural areas. When they do reside in rainforests, they tend to stick to the edges or clearings. Though stories often depict boa constrictors living in jungles, their habitats are actually much more diverse. Previously, scientists thought that all members of the family Boidae were New World snakes, but certain boa species have been discovered in remote areas such as Mauritius and New Guinea, according to the San Diego Zoo. They are also found on islands in the Caribbean and off the Pacific coast. They are found throughout the Americas, ranging from northern Mexico through Central America and into Peru on the west side of the Andes and south to Argentina on the east side. Boa constrictors are New World snakes, meaning they live exclusively in the Western hemisphere, according to the ADW. ![]()
