AWA Open House Talk - Things That Go "Boing!" in the Night: the Ord's Kangaroo Rat

<div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"><div class="flexinode-textfield-2"><div class="form-item"> <label>Location: </label> Calgary </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-1"><div class="form-item"> <label>Description: </label> <p><strong>Things That Go "Boing!" in the Night: the Ord's Kangaroo Rat</strong><br /><em>with Andy Teucher</em></p><p><a href="http://www.albertawilderness.ca">Alberta Wilderness Association </a></p><p>Alberta's prairies are not merely the uniform agricultural landscapes that people often think of. Rolling hills, badlands, broad river valleys, and sand dunes are home to many interesting and unique species of plants and animals, including the little known Ord's kangaroo rat. Neither kangaroo nor rat, these endearing rodents are highly specialised desert dwellers, and in Alberta face some unique challenges, of both natural and human causes.</p> </div> </div></div>
