RE: Relocated Vipers Show Distinct Homing Instincts

in #science6 years ago

Hey, good to see you are back!

Yes, relocating animals is not as easy as burocrats think. But sometimes it appears the well being of the animal is not the real motivation behind it all.
A good example is this case from Germany:


A quick overview:
Because of the conversion of a large marshalling yard into a industry park, several thousand wall lizzards needed to move. For that they turned a green meadow into a rock maze - for over $ 4 million, several thousand $ per lizzard.
But the ungrateful animals dont like the place and have spread out into the surrounding housing area and their gardens. The people dont really mind - but they could have had that for free.

Wow that was a mistake! XD

This is awesome, I hadn't seen this particular case before.

Well, I guess the contractors who got the 4 million tax payer's money didn`t mind too much. ;)
