Keeping track of animals

CREATURE FEATURE Vol. 1 Iss. 1

Welcome to Creature Feature, a weekly newsletter about animal-human relationships. It’s written by me, Kat Eschner. I’m a science reporter with a history degree and a grumpy dog. Want to get it in your inbox on Friday morning? Sign up here.

Because there is simply *so much* animal news out there, each week I’ll bring you headlines relating to one specific theme. This week I’m looking at how we enumerate the creatures we live among.

I didn’t finish my homework for this, the first week of Creature Feature! The first essay (as promised, the question will be about selfies and wildlife) will arrive in next Friday’s dispatch. But since we’re here, let me share one last animal story from the week that was.

Correction: Creature Feature originally misidentified Wareham as being “the UK town of Wareham (pop. <10,000)” rather than the Massachusetts, United States Wareham. We regret the error.
