Ghost dog11/20/2022 I put on music, it sounds OK but I feel disconnected to it. I feel calm and subdued.Īt 20 minutes I realize that my emotions are somewhat limited in range. Short-term memory is basically non-existant. Like I can’t process too many thoughts and very thrust into the present moment. I can focus on things somewhat, but it feels like my brain is slightly shut down. At 10 minutes I feel warm and relaxed with a pressure in the front of face. My eyelids droop and my body is warm and tingly. I was trying to formulate some future plans in my head, and then at the 3 minute mark I lost track of thought and things became pleasantly fuzzy. The astounding 31% THC level points toward a powerful experience, and I’m a bit nervous already…įirst Dose: Small dose (.045g in a glass pipe – one solid hit from a bowl) Other different but similarly-named strains are White Ghost Dawg and Ghost Dog Killer. What we know: I could only find this mentioned on a few seed-selling sites. With so much left to learn about a cousin of man’s best friend, Rocha tells the New York Times, “imagine how much we don’t know about less charismatic species.This cannabis flower was purchased at Inhale in Eugene, OR in late-September 2019 The loss of habitat would significantly impact an animal that relies on undisturbed range, but Rocha also points out that there are many other, less familiar critters that are facing the same threat. Thirty percent of the dogs’ habitat could be gone or severely damaged by 2027 because of human activities like logging. The short-eared dog is currently listed as near threatened on the IUCN Red List, but the new study suggests that they should be considered vulnerable instead, as Inversereports. “What are their survival chances? How many of them will survive? None of these questions are answered for this species.” It’s a great opportunity to study this species, a unique opportunity to study the maternal care of the babies, how the babies disperse,” Leite-Pitman told Nadia Drake at National Geographicof the five pups caught on camera. In 2017, researchers got their first glimpse of short-eared dogs’ puppies on camera. Usually they avoid cameras, probably because of the blinking lights and human smells. But as National Geographic’s Nadia Drake reported at the time, a short-eared dog stopped in front of the camera only about 20 minutes after it was set up. In 2014, for example, conservation biologist Lary Reeves set up a GoPro camera near a carcass in the jungle of Peru, hoping to catch a glimpse of the king vultures he’d heard were feeding on it. The new study pieces together sightings from camera traps across the Amazon rainforest, usually brief encounters that were “bycatch” during unrelated research projects, Rocha tells the New York Times. Researchers know from scat samples that the dogs probably eat a mix of small mammals, fish, and even fruit. He saw one for about 20 seconds when it chased a rat into a hollow log. Even University of East Anglia ecologist Carlos Peres, who has worked in the Amazon for almost 40 years, tells the New York Times that his longest encounter with a short-eared dog was brief. Rocha tells the Times that throughout the years-long research project, he never saw one. Short-eared dogs are so secretive that local residents and researchers alike rarely see them in the wild. Instead, short-eared dogs ( Atelocynus microtis) are the only members of their own genus. But short-eared dogs are not in the same genus as domestic dogs ( Canis familiaris) or gray wolves ( Canis lupus). The dogs also have webbed toes which make them strong swimmers, like the ever-popular Labrador retrievers. They’re recognizable by their small ears, dark gray or rusty coloring, and fluffy, foxlike tails. The creatures are extremely shy, preferring to live in swamp forests, bamboo stands and cloud forests that haven’t been disturbed by people. The short-eared dog is different from many wild canines because it doesn’t live in packs, explains Mongabay’s Romi Castagnino. “If we don’t know what we’re losing, it’s really hard to care.” The species is “one of the least studied dogs worldwide,” University of California, Davis ecologist Daniel Rocha tells Cara Giaimo at the New York Times. But almost a third of short-eared dog habitat could be lost by 2027. The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, found that short-eared dogs have been spotted primarily in Brazil and Peru, but they were also found in Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador. The hound in question is the short-eared dog, a solitary canine specially adapted to live in the South American jungle. Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology InstituteĪ new study finds that the Amazon rainforest’s “ghost dog” has haunts across five countries. Short-eared dogs are the only canines that live in the Amazon rainforest.
