Since there doesn't seem to be #AltText I will do it (for the text only, maybe someone else can describe the images but the text is pretty self-explanatory; also, unfortunately the @ are probaby for twitter but I put them anyway):
- Accidentally glued myself to a crocodile while attaching a radio transmitter (Agata Staniewicz)
- Released a goldfinch "Mr Flappy" that was immediately captured by a falcon in front of 24 horrified middle school girls (@JeffAStratford)
- Accidentally pee on a Jaguar's marked tree. Get chased by the jaguar for 3 weeks, might sound exciting, actually quite scary (@AngelaBayonaV)
- Baboons stole our last role of toilet paper and used it to decorate a very very high tree (@drmparrott)
- Playing wounded buffalo calls to attract lions. Accidentally play AC/DC back-in-black. Deafening guitar riff = no lions. (Simon Dures)
- I tap a big branch on a trail with my machete to find out what it is. It's not a branch. It's a 5 meters caiman. (Orlandon Zegarra)
- When you spill pheromone solution on yourself and become the sexiest damn Tanner beetle in all Skane (@LeFunambulist)
- When you're transporting your samples home, & 65 vials of elephant blood explode in your suitcase on the plane (@Carrie Cizauskas)
- Invest in camouflage blind to observe feeders. Learn suburban birds are far less scared of my red car. (@AlayneF)
- Followed howler monkey to tree hiding a helicopter pad and pile of AK-47-- found drug running camp. (Lilia Illes)
- Lick tiny object to discern if fossil / rock. Fossil. Sticks to tongue. Coughing fit from dust. Sharp inhale. Swallow fossil. (@tattoosandbones)
- Staring through my binoculars to count invasive #parakeets roost @ #NATO headquarters. Getting arrested by security team. (@DiederikStrubbe)
- Caught in thunderstorm, ditched metal auger to be safe. When I got back remembered I was wearing GPS backpack with 3m aerial (Frank Swain @SciencePunk)
- Need to cross river. Jump. Miss> Wet as a drowned rat. No spare clothes. Scramble up bank. See bridge 40m away round a bend (littlemsenigma)
- Get dengue fever. Try following monkeys anyway. Hip feels broken. Become delirious. Write in elvish all over field pants. (Christopher Schmitt @fuzzyatelin)
- Send a drone up to examine abandoned eagle's nest only to find pissed off eagles and chick. Lose drone. (@lenny_garza)
- Suited up to approach an angry beehive, trapped biting safari ants inside the suit... (@TaraSkye12)
- When you realize the bat you've been radio-tracking is actually just beeps from the crosswalk (Cylita Guy @CylitaGuy)
- Once I got very excited to find some bones in a trench, thinking it may have been a midden, then the KFC wrapper emerged. (@PostAntiquarian)
- A lizard that had eluded capture for weeks jumped on my head and ran down the entire length of me. I still couldn't catch it. (Ambika Kamath @ambikamath)
