Sadly, clouds with a chance of showers this evening will mean no Starry Safari telescope viewing at the GSC. We’ll hope for better weather next week.

While we are waiting, here’s our image of the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula region, 100 light-years across and 2,400 light-years away.

Our veterinary team, led by Dr. Taylor, was recently joined by Dr. Brooklynn LaFoon, a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist with Carolina Veterinary Specialists, to take a closer look at Prickles, our spot-fin porcupinefish.

Specialized care like this is an important part of keeping the animals at the GSC healthy and happy. We’re grateful to Dr. LaFoon for helping us care for one very special patient! 🐡

A Difficult Update on Our White-blotched River Ray Pup

A few weeks ago, we shared the heartbreaking news that three of the four white-blotched river ray pups born at the GSC had passed away. At that time, our animal care and veterinary teams were closely monitoring the remaining pup and working to understand the cause of the losses. Unfortunately, all of our ray pups were born underweight compared to others of this species and Papaya’s previous litters. Given this, and our necropsy and histopathology results, we don’t think they were ready to succeed in life when they were born.

Since our last update, the remaining pup continued to receive close observation and dedicated care from our animal care and veterinary teams. Despite these efforts, the pup began to show concerning clinical signs, and we made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize him.
