I wanted to show the dangers that our native amphibians face during their annual migrations to their breeding pools.  I thought that the phrase &#8220;four-legged friends&#8221; brings up the image of &#8220;cuter&#8221; animals like cats and dogs and hopefully a member of the public would see this and hopefully come to associate the term more with the &#8220;creepy crawlies&#8221;.  I was thinking that it would be good for raising awareness of the dangers of road crossings as well as make the group more likable in the eye of the public.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/05\/Ladner_HerpArt-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hannah Ladner is a recent graduate of UVM&#8217;s Animal Science program.
