Animals are using Colorado’s wildlife crossings, reducing collisions, CDOT says

typhlonectes:

The five underpasses and two overpasses that cross Colorado 9 south
of Kremmling have reduced wildlife related crashes by almost 90 percent,
Lisa Schwantes communications manager for CDOT said Thursday.

There are more than 30 passages, which vary in construction, across
the state of Colorado, only two of them cross over the highway.

“They’re extremely important,” Jeff Peterson, wildlife program
manager for CDOT, said. “When you get into conflicts with wildlife that
raises the issue.”

Statistics obtained by CDOT show that from 2006 to 2016 on U.S. 160,

You know what is another very good genus of tiny marine gobies?

The genus Tryssogobius!

Also known as the Fairy Gobies, which is both apt and adorable, or sometimes as the Tiny or Blue-eyed dartfish. These are gobies though. True gobies to be exact (in the subfamily Gobiinae).

These guys are also very diminutive, ranging in size from 2-3 cm in total length. Another fish on my dream team nano fish wish list, fairy gobies do occasionally pop up in the aquarium trade.

@kelpforestdweller – Thanks!

I was mostly thinking of experiences with freezing vegetable soups. This is still not low moisture, but hopefully enough less that it won’t mess with the texture as much. I can usually eat it anyway, but sensory issues 🙄
