The acknowledgement from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS comes on the heels of a historic Pacific pocket mouse breeding season. In 2022, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance recorded the earliest breeding event and pup birth in the history of the program, and the team helped with producing a record 31 litters, for a total of 117 pups during the spring and summer months. Many of these mice will be reintroduced into native habitats this spring.
Weighing about the same as three pennies, the endangered Pacific pocket mouse is the smallest mouse species in North America. They get their name from pouches in their cheeks used to carry food and nesting materials. Though small, these mice play a crucial role in their ecosystems by dispersing the seeds of native plants and encouraging plant growth through their digging activities.
Pacific pocket mice used to be found from Los Angeles all the way to the Mexican border at the southern edge of San Diego County. For 20 years, they were actually thought to be extinct until a tiny remnant population was rediscovered in 1993 at Dana Point headlands. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss there are only three small populations remaining, one on Dana Point and two in military training areas on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
Given the small number of Pacific pocket mice remaining in the wild, a translocation program to populate areas of former habitat was deemed to be too risky. Instead, we established the Pocket Mouse Conservation Breeding Facility at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in 2012. Here, our Recovery Ecology and Conservation Genetics researchers are studying pocket mouse behavior, ecology, stress, and genetic variation to ensure that we successfully produce the most fit offspring for release and learn as much as we can about them along the way. So far, we have more than doubled the number of mice at the facility with successful breeding of founder individuals and their offspring.
We need to ensure that offspring born at the facility will be able to fend for themselves when, together with our partners, we eventually release them back into the wild. It is important that they have species-appropriate behaviors in order to successfully avoid predators and forage for the right types of food. When we brought the first founder Pacific pocket mice into the facility, we measured these behaviors in order to generate a baseline for normal behavior. Before we release offspring born at the facility to repopulate reserves in the wild, we will conduct similar behavioral assessments. If the mice do not display appropriate behavior, we will give them the necessary experience to select the right types of foods and identify and escape predators in a safe environment.
I joined to a trainer alliance last month (gurdians academy) and now i was able to to finish both rare and epic and we are close to unlock legendary tier. Anyone plays his way, but i highly suggest to join a good alliance! if you are new player you will grow more quickly.
As someone in a solo alliance it would be good to know if I can join another alliance just for this event even if I have already completed the Rare level (score of 468k). On a related note, if any other solo peeps want to join my solo alliance instead just for this event come an over. solo xyz
In addition, due to the fact that I jump from alt to alt, and it takes quite some time to run through all 18, I can run away looking for my perfect boards as much as I want (since WE will anyway burn), which futher increases alliance score. And by the time the last account is finished, the first one more or less has all WE recharged.
Do you have a guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, mouse, rat, ferret or rabbit? Called "pocket" pets due to their small size, these pets have a few special care requirements. Here's what you need to know about caring for your special pet.
All pocket pets benefit by spending an hour or more daily outside their cages. Since small animals, like gerbils, hamsters and mice, can quickly disappear behind furniture and appliances or even into air ducts, it's best to use a small pet playpen to create a secure play space.
Pocket pets need to see the veterinarian every year just like larger pets. Some pocket pets may need vaccines in addition to exams. For example, ferrets need distemper and rabies vaccines, while your veterinarian may recommend vaccinating your pet against rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). Vaccinations for RHDV and RHDV2 prevent a serious, often fatal illness in rabbits. According to PetMD, your pet could catch the virus if you bring it into your home on your shoes or clothing.
Since signs of illness aren't always obvious in pocket pets, annual veterinary visits help you ensure your pet is healthy. In between visits, regularly examine your pet's body for signs of illness or disease, which can include:
A POS (Point of service) plan gives you personal care and freedom to go out of network, but with greater out-of-pocket costs. And they give you the comfort of having an in-network PCP to oversee all your care and refer you to see specialists, much like an HMO.

Next steps for the pocket park include a partner meeting where OAH and the designers will go through the phasing plan and budget with GNMD, Avenue CDC, the Parks Department, and Representative Karla Cisneros. Designers will present the final design and phasing plan at the beginning of a Super Neighborhood Meeting at the Leonel Castillo Community Center, 2101 South Street, on July 21 from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Pockets' family moved from Lebanon when he was six years old, but his parents' marital difficulties soon left him an orphan. His dad skipped town, and his mom overdosed in her attempts to deal with her depression. Left to fend for himself on the streets, Pockets made ends meet by stealing and picking people's pockets (hence his nickname). Brought into D-Mob's syndicate for his scheming nature, he's the brains of the operation, advising on all business dealings. His small size isn't ideal for fighting large opponents, but he uses his speed and guile to survive in a scrap.
