This Friday’s post is just a total animal fest! Links about wildlife, invasive species and an image gallery.

Wildlife and Lead Poisoning
This site by USGS talks about the effects of lead on wildlife and especially waterfowl. A very interesting and informative source.

Zebra & Quagga Mussel
Here is another resource from the USGS with information about the Zebra and Quagga Mussels. Includes: fact sheets, statistics and really cool Google maps that show the distribution of the mussels and is updated daily. A great resource for anyone interested in invasive species.

Animal Science Image Gallery
This image gallery from the American Society of Animal Science is a great resource for anyone studying animal science and/or husbandry. They also accept submissions of photographs, so go and add to the collection.

Have a great weekend!
