Diary of a Port Biologist: Creatures of the Night

Two elusive creatures were finally captured at the Port's habitat site - on film. A motion-activated trail camera that was hidden in the swamp caught the creatures as they emerged from the shadows of the night.

One creature has beady eyes and long, yellow teeth. The other impales its prey before swallowing it whole down.

Fear not.

These creatures are none other than a beaver and a great blue heron (GBH)!
