Biologists in the field of wildlife conservation
We often hear comments such as "people are funny" and "one meets the strangest people!" Such sage remarks are not infrequently directed towards biologists, particularly those engaged in one of the many phases of wildlife conservation work. Bulletins of the "love life" of the raccoon or frog, and biologists who, for one reason or another, count the "whiskers" on a fox squirrel are held up for ridicule or dismissed with a shake of the head or a shrug of the shoulder and termed "batty."
