What are all of the character’s favorite kinds of birds? Is it just Poppy or does anyone like ducks? (Very important question)
Just Poppy?! Poppy is everyone's favorite Whatever-Bird!! (I'm joking! I'm sure they'd all love to look at a duck.)

Day 21: Rhinoceros. Nova Kachovka.
Day 22: Camp.
The solovki special camp was the largest soviet concentration camp. Nowadays, russians have created a lot of concentration camps, where they send Ukrainian POWs and civilians to torture or kill them.

Baja California Pronghorn, Peninsular Pronghorn
Pronghorn are very special animals. They are the only animals that have a mixture between antlers and horns. Horns are made of keratin mostly and have only one point. Antlers, on the other hand, are made of bone and shed every year. The horns of the pronghorn are made of both keratin and bone that are shed as antlers, every year.
During the colonization, pronghorns were even more numerous than bison. It is said that their herds get lost on the horizon, they were as vast as the sight could see. It was estimated that more than 100 million pronghorns inhabited North America. However, by 1920 their numbers dropped to 13.000. Today, all five subspecies are endangered and the number of Baja California Pronghorn is estimated at about 150.
I never put much attention to this animal. Somehow, I never found it attractive. Since I am reading about them I think they are amazing. Along with the bison, the pronghorn shaped the evolution of humans in North America, providing food and shelter.

Vietnam Mouse Deer
This is a story of hope. The last specimen seen was in 1990 when a hunter killed one and donated it to scientists. For more than 30 years there was no sight of this animal. Only locals were assured to see it but those sights were nothing more than just words.
After years of research, investigation, and close work with locals, in 2019, camera traps finally registered sights of the animal. It was worldwide news that brought joy for the rediscovery of a species and hope for many others that today are believed to be extinct.
According to scientists, it’s rediscover was possible due to the close work with the locals who knew their environment, knew what can be found and how to find it.
It’s unknown its current population. What is known is that wire snares have been putting in danger not just the Vietnam Mouse Deer, but the entire population of species that inhabits the jungles of Vietnam and many other regions of Asia. The decline of wildlife due to snares has no precedents. Some of the densest jungles are now called ghost forests because no animals are seen.
This is the last member of this family. A very interesting one which I must say I didn't know much but that now I want to know more. The next one is a very unique and small family.

Java Mouse Deer
It hasn’t been possible to know the numbers of this animal in the wild because is commonly mistaken with its other member of the family, the Lesser Mouse Deer, which also shares the same environment.
Inhabits in Java and possibly in Bali. However, in Bali, its existence hasn’t been totally validated.
As we can see, the story of this family has just started to be written and I wouldn’t be surprised to see changes in the future when more is known about them. I hope they still are around.

The Williamson’s Mouse-Deer
This specimen was believed to be a subspecies of the Lesser Mouse Deer. However, in 2004 it was assigned to a species level. This level, however, is provisional because the study was based on just one specimen that was considerably bigger than the Lesser Mouse-Deer.
As we can see, is not a well-studied animal. It is believed to be found in Thailand, Laos, and possibly China.

Lesser Mouse Deer
Not much is known about this species. It seems to be an apparent lack of interest to study this family which to me is hard to explain if we count that are the smallest hoofed animals in the world and hasn’t changed much in millions of years. This shows a form of adaptability that is remarkable and that I believe deserves to be studied.
Because very little is known about this animal in general, is hard to assess a truthful census. It’s known to be widely spread in Southeast Asia and is often part of the menu of villagers or even taken as a pet. (Please don’t have one. Let’s leave wild things wild)
