aerie asked: I'm quite envious over your wild coatis, black caiman, and giant octopus encounters. I don't think that I'd survive well in a rainforest, mainly because one of my greatest fears is parasites.

I don't have that much field experience under my belt, but I miss tracking snakes in Texas. We used to walk in the middle of the creek at dusk, and shine our head lamps...

khrisjuhlin-deactivated20110924 asked: I'm soon getting my Bachelors degree in Biology, though I have not been in tropical forests and such - yet. Are you currently studying or getting your PhD or are you working in a certain location? What has been you experience? As I'm currently just starting my career, it is interesting to know the work-adventure of others in this area, as I am too starting mine. Concerning the lgbt issue...

aerie asked: On the up side, being a field biologist means getting to see and handle a lot of animals that you would have never seen/handled before, and being able to tell the best stories. What has been your favourite field experience?

cordisre asked: Hi, Paxon!
Let me start with sharing with you how awesome your blog is and how bad I want you to follow me back. You've been on my crushes for months and your posts are just incredible, some similar to mine. Anyways are you a zoologist? I haven't yet decided what I am going to study in college, zoology is on my list. How would you describe a career in zoology? Pros and cons?

kangaroosplaycellos asked: Why do you use wikipedia as your source?

jayavant asked: Favourite animal? Really impossible to answer, though I do have a soft spot for the Peripatus. I found once once in some leaf litter and it was simply spell-binding to watch.

I wonder can you do a little feature on Peripatus?

Love your Tumblr by the way. I read every post with real pleasure.

datzeldachick asked: This is probably a dumb question, but what's your favorite animal?
