Handy blog on eyeshine, important to understand when squatching at night…

Eyeshine in animals is produced by a special membrane, called the tapetum lucidum (tapestry of light), a reflective surface that is located directly behind the retina. When the small rays of light found in the night, like starlight or moonlight, enter the eye, they bounce off the membrane, giving the eye a second chance to use the light. For animals that have this membrane, it is like having a built in flashlight that lights a path from the inside out.

The tapetum lucidum, coupled with big eyes and lots of light-sensing rod cells, allow nocturnal mammals to see well in dark or dim conditions. But eyeshine isn’t limited to mammals. Once, while at the edge of a pond listening to the midnight chorus of frogs, my flashlight caught the glimmering, emerald-green eyes of a huge bullfrog. And in my obsession over eyeshine, I am eagerly looking forward to the summer, when I will be searching the forest floor for the ruby red glow of a wolf spider’s eyes. I only wish that my eyes would glow, a fierce sapphire blue in the darkest of night, but although humans have many interesting adaptations, good night vision is not one of them. Our abundance of cones and lack of rods mean we see more colors than most other animals, but we can’t see in the dark. And we don’t have a tapetum lucidum – when our eyes appear red in photographs, it’s a reflection of the camera’s flash off the red blood cells of the choroid, which is a vascular layer behind the retina.

Eyeshine color varies by species, from the amber glow of a bobcat to the red glint of a black bear. The different colors are produced by the mineral content and the structure of the tapetum lucidum, as well as varying pigments in the retina. There does seem to be some overlap of colors, like bobcat and raccoon having yellow/amber eyeshine.

So is it at all possible to identify an animal by eyeshine color alone? According to ecologist and long-time tracker Dr. Rick van de Poll, eyeshine is somewhat variable so that even within the same species the color can look a bit different. Factors that influence individual eyeshine color, according to van de Poll, include the age and individual chemistry of the animal, as well as seasonal variation and the angle and intensity of the light hitting the eye. But this doesn’t deter van de Poll from using eyeshine as a clue to identifying mammals. “It’s part of the information” he said, “but you have to also be paying attention to the animal’s behavior, the shape and placement of the eyes, and how the animal moves away from the light, or if it even moves away from the light at all.”

▀▄▀▄▀▄...NO-NO’S//DNI IF…

✫-x－You draw Fe.ral NSFT, or implied, of ANY kind. I will not interact with folks who willingly reference and draw animal ge.nitalia explicitly-and even more so use the terminology. I am therian. Therian culture is NOTHING equal to Fer.al. I refuse to even consider it furry. Therianthropy is the spiritual belief in a past life and way of healing in your present. I KNOW I am a human. I KNOW I should not be fantasizing about animals. Fucking. Gross.

✫-x－you draw, write or support nsft unde.rage art/media of any kind. I don’t care under any circumstance. That will never be an exception. I’m a victim still recovering, and I will never see anyone who’s done the same to others to be humane or safe. Turn around and unfollow me if you partake in that pro.ship..ping behavior. That’s active support in gr..oming/p.3.do/orb..iting behavior.

✫-x－Relying on “Oh but it’s just art/fiction” logic. No. Fucking no. Please, read this page and and this one and keep going. Don’t even try to argue. Step Off.

✫-x－you support nonc.onsensual. I don’t need to explain myself here. Ra.,peculture is FUCKED. Get out of here.

✫-x－Pro.shipping/In.cest of ANY fucking kind. That is another disgusting, vile example of how this page and this and reflection needs to be made. The excuse of ”oh, it’s just fiction” will never clear the gastric distress that builds up. Fucking. NO. ew.

✫-x－Mentions of N.,azism/N.eoN.azism, Cul.tural Appr.opriation, ra.cism of any kind, Zi.onist support/prop.aganda, etc. This is and should be commonplace knowledge in regard to unacceptable behavior.

“In the U.S., looking for Bigfoot and other cryptids has become an industry. Searches are accessible for even a novice, there really are no barriers. This is not the case in Thailand where weather, terrain, wildlife, culture and politics all create limitations.

“Only a team like mine, with more than 50 years’ experience hunting Bigfoot around the world, could take on such a trek.”

[BACKGROUND]

–[Short Summary]

–In the early 90’s, deep within the southeastern American woods, two squatch cubs were welcomed into the world. They were very weak, as two were uncommon to have at a time. Their earliest years are blurry, and they can’t recall much past a few spotty ones, but they were rambunctious and wild as any squatch cub should be, despite their ailments and difficulties growing as fast as the rest. They learned quickly and loved nature. They were always within close proximity of each other. They couldn’t stand to be apart. They spoke to each other in their own little languages that only they knew by small grunts and little sounds because their language was their own. 

It seemed their parents grew tired of them, and in many distasteful circumstances, the two of them learned hardships and survival in their earliest years. It surely readied them for the big, big world, but it also made things a lot harder in the long run, but one thing is for sure, they never lost their wanderlust for travel and adventure. They were unstoppable, and even to this day they continue to bring smiles to those they decide to be seen by. In pure Sasquatch irony, nobody really catches sight of them for who they really are, unless they choose to let someone truly see them.
