1) Challenge - Nerdopolis University: Extinction
“Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal” I’m sure the dinosaurs had this going through their mind as they became extinct. Yeah probably not but I can dream right? So let’s honor those Dinosaurs, Canary Islands Giant Rats, Red Crowned Parakeet, Dire Wolf (yes there really was such a thing!) and all the other extinct animals/species, here at the University this round.
- Craft a dinosaur dishcloth
- Spin a red yarn to represent the Red Crowned Parakeet
- Craft a Dire Wolf
My submission:
Bali tiger - this species of tiger only lived on the Indonesian island of Bali. The last one probably died in the mid-1960s, around 50 years ago. The last confirmed sighting of the Bali tiger was in 1937, but scientists think that one could have been alive as late as the mid-1960s. The cause of extinction was the introduction of firearms to Indonesia in the 1600s. Guns gave the people of Bali, who regarded the cats as evil spirits, the means to exterminate them.
Striping on the tiger reminds me of the color changes on the vest I did for my son, lots of earthy tones and blue for water where tigers lived…
Team shout out for Nerd Cred: (Optional) Babylon 5 is a space hub, place to trade, have adventure, but also a place to craft politics and alliances. Here are 3 most important ambassadors, in all their finery - G’kar, Delenn and Londo Molari . Their colorful dresses remind me of all the colors my vest has.
