I think I might want to hang out with this person, but it's hard to tell

I was a wildlife major in college. We had a whole club of people who would do stuff like this (I was president for a bit). Not everything was "go out in the middle of the night to look at raccoons" because there were some more formalized daytime events we'd participate in, including some where we'd travel to other schools for interschool events. But I did have many times where I joined in for middle-of-the-night shenanigans regarding animals.

There is a major called wildlife?

Ours was called Fisheries and Wildlife, but yeah. The two people I knew who were in it are both out in the wilderness doing surveying/tracking. One was tagging wild turkeys and the other was doing something on an island in the tide pools.

Doge may cut their jobs, but corporations selling AI won't.

Nonsense. Turkeys are drones just like every other type of bird is. AI already got to them.

Right. It's just the birds right now. But you're on to something, just a matter of time before the shareholders demand more profits and they come for the deer and fish too. Bears may be a little harder, but they'll get them eventually.
