stuff I learned this week: Low voltage devices should be routed independently and away from any kind of power, to separately colored/marked low voltage boxes (NEVER next to AC). And you need to use Plenum grade Ethernet cabling to meet code compliance (for fire safety). And there are nifty things called "Nail plates" to prevent people from accidentally nailing or drilling through your important stuff (i.e. electrical, plumbing)

Baby beaver rescue in Colorado!

🐾We admitted a rather unusual patient today – a baby North American Beaver! While we do occasionally see beavers at our Center, this is by far one of the youngest we have admitted! 💚Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers discovered this kit just south of Denver alone, dehydrated, and near a deceased sibling. They trekked the tyke to our facility so our licensed rehabilitation team could assess it and provide a bit of TLC to the orphan. 🐾Once through the vital quarantine process, he’ll be immediately transferred to our partner Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation. Young beavers can be lonely when on their own, and we’re fortunate to be able to move him to Schneegas where he can thrive alongside other young beavers, learning vital skills in their large specialized enclosure before returning to the wild once more. 💚For now, our Animal Care Team has settled him into one of Greenwood’s cozy enclosures, complete with a stuffed companion, some leafy branches to munch, and daily swim time on his own personal beach. We hope this little bucked-tooth buckaroo has a comfy stay with us before he joins his new friends in Silt.

"On March 16, cows on a Texas dairy farm began showing symptoms of a mysterious illness now known to be H5N1 bird flu. Their symptoms were nondescript, but their milk production dramatically dropped and turned thick and creamy yellow. The next day, cats on the farm that had consumed some of the raw milk from the sick cows also became ill. While the cows would go on to largely recover, the cats weren't so lucky. They developed depressed mental states, stiff body movements, loss of coordination, circling, copious discharge from their eyes and noses, and blindness. By March 20, over half of the farm's 24 or so cats died from the flu."
