Wow Sjeord, cool Newts! I keep looking, but never seem to find much wild around here!

What about those 'black snakes' near the zoo? When are we going to go looking for them, Inge?

Muskrat. Couldn't get close enough for the details that I would have liked to capture.

That was my other guess, but I couldn't really tell what size it was. Again, the tail would have given it away!

Muskrat.. one of those species that people, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to release into the Finnish environment.

I was thinking about that... how about we organise a day at the zoo for a few members and go walkabouts!
