    Anyone get the Times today? There is a nice wildlife poster inside with a somewhat peculiar looking otter;)

    Yes :D
    It's a Badger and an American Badger at that!

    What a waste. They send free papers to all primary schools and it's useless now!

    Was the very same in the star a few weeks ago. The 'perch' was a rudd and the 'red squirrel' was a grey squirrel. Its not that hard get it right.

    My experiance of Irish journalism and journalists is that Science and facts are usually the enemy of a good story:rolleyes:

    The Star posters did not have a grey squirrel instead of a red one. Both squirrels were pictured correctly on the poster.
    The Rudd was incorrectly marked as a perch but please get your facts right before you criticise hard-working people.

    Not that the poster has anything to do with a story, but I honestly can't agree with you on this statement. We have some very fine Science & Nature journalists on our broadsheets.

    We do, but they aren't always the ones who write the pieces;)
