Photo of a cute ringtail with lots of text in photo. Text reads: If you’ve seen a ringtail, alive or dead, please email the project leads from Sac City College, Kristyn.schulte@gmail.com, and Lindsey.rich@wildlife.ca.gov with the following info: Where? Lat/long is ideal but if that’s not possible, a general description is ok. When? Month+year. What? Describe the observation. Was it a direct obs? Trail camera? Roadkill? The project is two-fold: 1) we are updating the distribution map for ringtails, which hasn’t been done since the mid-1980’s and 2) we are working with our wildlife genetics lab to develop new genetic markers for ringtails.

Hey Friends! There is an effort being made to revise and update the range of Ringtails (Bassariscus astutus), and they need your help! If you’ve seen a ringtail (alive or dead), please email the project leads! Contacts in alt text/photo below. Also, please share! #mammals #ringtails #ringtailcats
