Little cutie! Chipmunks are so sporty with their racing stripes. Really fun to paint with all the rendering in a vintage airbrush style! Prints

San Antonian finds Texas oak tree thought to be extinct

Quercus Tardifolia hasn't been seen in Big Bend's National Park for 12 years.

That's so cool! And they found a few of them, and they're now growing seedlings in greenhouses for eventual replanting!

Quercus tardifolia is a relic species leftover from when the climate was much cooler and wetter in the past, and can only really live in a few high-elevation spots in Texas. It's definitely still at risk of extinction due to increasing heat and drought caused by climate change, but the discovery means this species still has a chance.
