Waterville (and its shops) hosted a lot of Geeps on their last legs working their final days for Guilford. Chopped nose 12 and high nose 51 work their way through the Waterville yard clutter. 12 was a former MEC GP7 while 51 was a former B&M GP9. Both have since been retired and were probably scrapped.

Extinct since 1975
The longjaw cisco chub once inhabited the deep water of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Erie. It grew to be around 12 inches long and had a silvery colorization. The last known longjaw cisco was documented in 1975 in Ontario at the Georgian Bay. The extinction of this species was due to overfishing, pollution, and an invasive species. During the 1930s, the ciscos were caught in mass numbers by the deepwater cisco fishery and sold as “smoked herring.” Sea lampreys were introduced to the Great Lakes in the 1930s, and had a huge impact on the longjaws’ fish population. They attach their suction-cup like mouth to their victim and feed on their blood. The lamprey produces lamphredin, which is a biological fluid that prevents clots to form in the blood. The fish die from infection caused by the lamprey or by bleeding out. In a matter of years, the lampreys became the top predators of the region and the chubs were extinct.
Since the decimation of many fish species caused by the lampreys, a lot of research has been conducted to better understand the species. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission has worked to control their populations by using chemical lampricides and electric currents. A lampricide is a chemical inserted into the water systems that target the lampreys’ larvae, and kills them before adulthood is reached. This method helps control the uncontainable species and maintain a healthy population. The electrical currents are used when the lampreys are moving upstream to reproduce. While on this journey, scientist send electrical currents through the water that “guide” the lampreys into a trap. Both methods have been very successful and have provided education as to how to address invasive species. With this knowledge, we can be more helpful and hopefully have the tools to prevent extinctions like the longjaw cisco in the future.

Giraffe. Pilanesberg Game Reserve. South Africa. Jun/2021
Giraffe
The giraffe (Giraffa) is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus currently consists of one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, the type species. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils. Taxonomic classifications of one to eight extant giraffe species have been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa, but the IUCN currently recognises only one species with nine subspecies.
The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. They may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs.

Girafa
A girafa é um gênero de mamíferos ungulados africanos, sendo os animais terrestres mais altos e os maiores ruminantes. O gênero atualmente consiste de uma espécie, Giraffa camelopardalis, a espécie-tipo. Sete outras espécies são espécies pré-históricas conhecidas de fósseis. Classificações taxonômicas de uma a oito espécies existentes de girafas foram descritas, baseadas em pesquisas com DNA nuclear e mitocondrial, bem como em medidas morfológicas de Giraffa, mas atualmente a IUCN reconhece apenas uma espécie com nove subespécies.
As principais características distintivas da girafa são seu pescoço e pernas extremamente longos, seus ossólones semelhantes a chifres e seus distintos padrões de pelagem. É classificada sob a família Giraffidae, junto com seu parente mais próximo, o okapi. Seu alcance disperso estende-se do Chade, no norte, até a África do Sul, no sul, e do Níger, no oeste, até a Somália, no leste. Girafas geralmente habitam savanas e bosques. Sua fonte de alimento são folhas, frutos e flores de plantas lenhosas, principalmente espécies de acácia. Eles podem ser predados por leões, leopardos, hienas dentre outros.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve is located north of Rustenburg in North West Province in South Africa. The park borders with the entertainment complex Sun City. The park is currently administered by the North West Parks and Tourism Board.
The area is fringed by three concentric ridges or rings of hills, of which the formation rises from the surrounding plains. Pilanesberg is named after a Tswana chief, Pilane, the 'Pilanesberg Alkaline Ring Complex' is the park's primary geological feature. This vast circular geological feature is ancient even by geological standards as it is the crater of a long extinct volcano and the result of eruptions some 1,200 million years ago. It is one of the largest volcanic complexes of its type in the world, the rare rock types and formations make it a unique geological feature. A number of rare minerals occur in the park.
Scattered throughout the park are various sites that originate from the Iron Age and Stone Age and show the presence of man from those periods in these areas.
The park has an area of 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi). One can travel through in a standard road vehicle as although most of the 188 kilometres of track are not surfaced, they are well maintained.
The Pilanesberg is not in a location which the Big Five animals would naturally inhabit, however they have been brought into the 550 square kilometres of African bushland

A Reserva de Pilanesberg
A Reserva de Pilanesberg está localizada ao norte de Rustenburg, na Província Noroeste, na África do Sul. O parque faz fronteira com o complexo de entretenimento Sun City. O parque é atualmente administrado pelo North West Parks and Tourism Board.
A área é orlada por três cristas concêntricas ou anéis de colinas, das quais a formação se eleva das planícies circundantes. Pilanesberg é nomeado em homenagem a um chefe Tswana, Pilane, o 'complexo alcalino circular de Pilanesberg' é característica geológica primária do parque. Esta vasta característica geológica circular é antiga, mesmo para os padrões geológicos, pois é a cratera de um vulcão extinto e o resultado de erupções há cerca de 1.200 milhões de anos. É um dos maiores complexos vulcânicos do seu tipo no mundo, os raros tipos de rochas e formações fazem dele uma característica geológica única. Um número de minerais raros são encontrados no parque.
Espalhados por todo o parque estão vários locais que se originam da Idade do Ferro e da Idade da Pedra e mostram a presença do homem em tais períodos nessas áreas.
O parque tem uma área de 572 quilômetros quadrados (221 sq mi). Pode-se viajar através de um veículo normal, embora a maioria dos 188 quilômetros de estradas não sejam pavimentadas, elas estão bem conservados.
O Pilanesberg não é um local que os animais “Big Five” naturalmente habitam, no entanto, eles foram trazidos para os 550 quilômetros quadrados de mata nativa africana.
