Approximately 75 insects later (e.g., grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, moths), it was time to release this well fed female smooth green and her young.
Platanus occidentalis, sycamore, DBH-1", right around 10' tall, leaves badly damaged by bugs, smooth bark with little scaring.
We had a lovely smooth wall, but we had to texturize it to match existing walls. We bought Homax Heavy Knockdown spray texturizer, but it was very messy and not quite an exact match.
We found a better method that used watered down joint compound:
1. Put premixed joint compound in a bucket.
2. Add water until the joint compound is like yogurt.
3. Use a rag to dab joint compound over wall in random pattern. Make sure to have some spiky blobs to create bigger texture areas.
4. Wait a few minutes, then use a wet knockdown knife to smooth over the wall. Move knockdown knife in different directions so no pattern emerges.
Much easier, cleaner, and cheaper than spray texture!
Smooth Otters (Lutra perspicillata) are the largest otters in Southeast Asia. They are named for their shorter, smoother coats which appears velvety and shining. Like other otters, they have shorter tightly packed underfur and longer guard hairs which are water repellant.
Head and body to 75cm, tail to 45cm. Long body and a long tail, covered in short sleek fur. It has short limbs with webbed 'fingers' and prominent claws. The upperparts are greyish brown and the underside is buffy.
Smooth otters are generally social and live in pairs or family groups of parents and their young. They are active both during the day and at night.
It eats mainly fish, but also turtles, crustaceans and clams and snails. Babies are born in a litter of 1-2, in a den dun in the river bank. The young stay with the parents in a family group for some time.
The Smooth otter is listed as 'Critically Endangered' in the Red List of threatened animals of Singapore.
I didn't happen upon a photo shoot or anything, this was just a guy and his car on the street in Tribeca.
By the way, I'm thinking that's a '55 or '56 Ford Thunderbird.
