Not sure what kind this is but he always runs directly to the water to swim away. this one was about 2.5 to 3 feet long. There are several that live in this area.

We had so much stuff, and so much packing material, that we had to do a few runs mid-setup to toss packing material back in the car. Here, Jeff moves monitor boxes around. We used all four of our monitors - this was our most tech-intensive display ever.
You'll note that the second TV stand isn't set up. This is about when we realized we were missing parts for it and we had to make an emergency run to a hardware store.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo is closer to cracking the code for breeding one of Asia’s most elusive species with the birth of two fishing cats (Prionailurus viverrinus). Seven-year-old Electra delivered the kittens between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. May 18 in an off-exhibit den. Their birth marks an important milestone: this is the first time fishing cats have successfully bred and produced young at the National Zoo.
Keepers are monitoring the mother and her offspring through a closed-circuit camera, allowing the family time to bond. Although the kittens will not make their public debut until later this summer, Zoo visitors can see their father, two-year-old Lek, on Asia Trail.
“Many months of behavior watch, introductions and research allowed us to get to this point,” said Zoo Director Dennis Kelly. “It’s very rewarding that our efforts have paid off. The future of their wild cousins hangs in the balance, so it’s imperative that we do all we can to ensure their survival.”
Before Lek arrived at the Zoo in January 2011, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for fishing cats intended to pair Electra with another male. The SSP scientists determine which animals breed by considering their genetic makeup and social needs, temperament and overall health. Despite meeting these criteria, the other male and Electra never took an interest in one another. By contrast, when keepers introduced Lek and Electra, the cats soon began showing signs of affection, such as grooming and nuzzling.
The Zoo’s three adult fishing cats are taking part in a multi-institutional study that examines the many facets of introducing a potential breeding pair. Researcher Jilian Fazio is looking at stress and reproductive hormones to determine if different introduction techniques or individual personalities spell success or failure when it comes to fishing cat reproduction. The National Zoo’s recent success is particularly important for fishing cat populations in human care. Of the 32 fishing cats in the North America SSP, only 27 of them are considered reproductively viable. Lek and Electra’s kittens will become valuable breeders because their genes are not well represented in the captive population.
Only one other facility accredited by the AZA has successfully bred fishing cats since 2009. The Zoo hopes that by sharing its successful management strategies, other zoos across the country will have similar results.
National Zoo veterinarians will perform a complete physical exam on the fishing cat kittens and administer the first set of vaccines in the next few weeks. However, keepers have observed the kittens growing and becoming more independent every day.
“Electra will let the kittens explore only so far before she brings them back under her close watch,” said Animal Keeper Courtney Janney. “Her maternal instincts kicked in right away, and she’s proving to be a very adept and confident mother. We are very proud of the whole process and look forward to learning all we can about their development.”
Fishing cats are vanishing from riverbanks in their native India and Southeast Asia due to water pollution, poaching and increased shrimp farming throughout their habitat. Wild populations have decreased by 50 percent in the past 18 years, prompting the International Union for Conservation of Nature to change the species’ status from vulnerable to endangered.
Fishing cats are named after their hunting technique. The majority of their diet consists of prey such as fish, frogs and aquatic birds, and they have a unique way of capturing their meals. By tapping their paws on the surface of the water, they trick prey into thinking the water ripples are from an insect. When the prey is close enough, the cat will either dive into the water after it or scoop it out using its partially webbed paw.
This monitor is digging into a termite mound. I don't know if this was a after food or looking to lay eggs.
Once the gry paint for the top of the Monitor was dry, I masked off the top to paint the bottom red. I actually laid down som 1/16" tape all the way around the edge of the hull ad a guide for the Scotch tape. The aluminum foil protects most of the top of the model so I don't have to stick tape over the entire surface.

Modified monitor base - After peeling off old stick-on feet, holes were drilled into base plate and 7 new feet attached with 4-40 hardware. This eliminates the problem of foot migration which leaves a sticky adhesive mess trapping dust, dirt, and hair. Mouser part number 534-720.
Procedure: Monitor has an odd center of gravity so pick it up by the neck where the stand joins the back of the monitor cabinet. Place the monitor face-down on a soft flat surface such as a couch cushion or bed. All of the weight should be on the front bezel with no pressure points on the delicate screen. Remove (4) Phillips head screws from the back of the monitor cabinet to detach the stand. Remove (4) of the (5) screws on the bottom of the stand. The center screw is the tension adjustment so do not remove this screw. Remove (6) small self-taping screws from the base plate and pull off the plastic shroud. Peel off any square stick-on feet that remain and use WD40 to soften and remove the adhesive. Each foot pad has a square outline etched into the metal to indicate the (7) foot locations. With a #2 pencil, draw an X on each of these squares to find the exact center. Place the metal plate on a couple small wood blocks and using a sharp pointed punch and hammer, center punch each hole location. Drill holes using 7/64" bit, then remove burrs from the other side by hand-turning a 1/4" bit. Attach new feet (Mouser 534-720) using 4-40 hardware. Place a gob of silicone cement over each lock washer & nut to lock into place. After silicone cement has dried for a few hours, reassemble parts. Do not over tighten the (6) base screws as they thread into plastic columns that strip easily. Just snug them up.
