We're getting some great data on the 5-toed jerboas. They're really bouncy and playful. And I hope we got enough gerbil data because they're nasty. We plan to get 3 toed data today.
To improve the reflectivity of our animals in the videos, we've been covering them in glitter! We have the most fabulous jerboas in the world!!!! They're really cute and sparkly and when they walk they leave a trail of glitter behind them.
Also, we got the 3rd camera back up and running!!! A thing I would suspect takes mucus out of babies' nostrils when they're born allowed me to blow the sand out from the lens parts. Hopefully this greatly improves the quality of my data.
We went into Fukang the other day and had fresh camel's milk (luo tuo nai) and naan. Delicious! And while there we happened up on a Kazakh fabric store and spent the next few hours just going through her whole inventory and buying a bunch of intricately hand-embroidered things.
The company continues to be magnificent. This cements my opinion that the personalities you have on your field expedition really make or break your trip.
In other news, China continues to block my computer from accessing the internet, so no pictures this time.
