Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
Do you think the snapping turtle ate him? That's our theory, or he managed to move on - this can't have been ideal beaver habitat
There are some in Frick Park, or were... they can survive in larger rivers and lakes, they don't have to build dams and just burrow into the bank instead of building a lodge. That island looks like it has lots of hardwoods, most of which the beaver can probably eat. It may also have been using the river as a corridor to get to somewhere else...
There are a lot of hardwoods on the island, we used to see fresh beaver marks on trees each visit, but none lately. At the Verona Public Launch (just outside of Steel City Rowing Club), there tons of fallen trees from beavers, so they have to be nearby. Watching cartoons, I always thought they had to build big dams! I hope he made it to a brighter pasture, thanks for the insight.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
