The term for a traditional Latin American men’s shirt is a guayabera. The shirt, most often worn for formal events, is distinguished by two rows of embroidered patterns on the front and back. Understanding the garment’s history might be important to know as a student in Erim Gomez’s classes at the University of Montana, because he wears them almost every day.
MILLTOWNÂ â Why did the turtle climb the hill?
The answer apparently eludes many well-intentioned people who keep picking up western painted turtles and putting them back in ponds or rivers.
What they donât realize, according to University of Montana wildlife biology assistant professor Erim Gomez, is that the move actually sets back turtle survival.
Gomez and his students had been combing Milltown State Park researching frog and salamander reproduction when they came across a fresh nest of turtle eggs on a little hilltop. Soon afterward, they met another park visitor who said theyâd just ârescuedâ a turtle that couldnât find the water.
