Re: Triple E [NY & TX Trial]
I'm hoping for pictures, because that is what I am ready for. If I got a skeleton or skull at a station, I'd probably shriek and run out of the room. I'm a bit... er... squeamish when it comes to that sort of thing.Javier wrote:What type of samples will we be given to identify? (e.g. skeletons, images of live stuff, skulls, etc.)
I don't believe most people have that sort of thing lying around, though. I think in all likelihood it will be pictures, because of ease of finding/setting up and that most teams would be ready for that sort of thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I believe it is Felis concolor, or at least that is the name I know.darkdeserthighway wrote:What is the scientific name for a cougar? Is it Puma concolor or Felis concolor? confusing

Re: Triple E [NY & TX Trial]
At an invites I competed at, all IDs were pictures of the animals. At regionals there was one station that had the nest of a bird and another one showing a tree that was damaged by an Emerald Ash Borer. Other than that the rest were all pictures, so I doubt we'd ever get a skeleton to ID.silverheart7 wrote:I'm hoping for pictures, because that is what I am ready for.

Yes, I do events. No, I will not put them in my signature.

Re: Triple E [NY & TX Trial]
It is really Puma concolor since 1996, but the rules in New York list it as Felis concolor, so that is what you should write.silverheart7 wrote:I believe it is Felis concolor, or at least that is the name I know.darkdeserthighway wrote:What is the scientific name for a cougar?

Re: Triple E [NY & TX Trial]
My rules
So to answer the earlier question, I think each of you memorizing half of the animals would be more efficient. For example, I memorized the exotics and all of the turtles and whales and my partner took the rest.
My rules and the DEC say the Latin name is Puma concolor cougar but meh. Anyway, I know we can bring a binder but flipping through it takes too long, so my partner and I each memorized the parts we assigned. Also, I think the most important laws and things would have to do with the Endangered Species Act, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and then smaller state laws.Flavorflav wrote:It is really Puma concolor since 1996, but the rules in New York list it as Felis concolor, so that is what you should write.silverheart7 wrote:I believe it is Felis concolor, or at least that is the name I know.darkdeserthighway wrote:What is the scientific name for a cougar?

Re: Triple E [NY & TX Trial]
I sent an email to newyorkscioly, and this is what they said:
It is not a mistake. There is a population of Red-bellied Cooters in Massachusetts that is listed as Endangered. There is speculation (because of that disjunct population in Mass) that Red Bellied Cooters may have once been found here, but were completely wiped out by turtle hunters in the 1800's.The cooters that are currently found in New York are thought to be pet-releases. So it is an interesting case of a likely native turned exotic, which is why it made the list.
