Aside from creeping buttercup, other perennial species include R. occidentalis, the Western field buttercup, identifiable by long, three-lobed leaves extending from the base. R. acris, or Tall buttercup, reaches heights of 3 feet with 1-inch wide blooms. Birdfoot buttercup, R. orthorhynchus, grows to 24 inches and has distinctive achenes or fruit that appear straight and skinny verses hooked like most others.
Porcupines are rodents, as are mice, beavers, and squirrels. There are around 45 species of rodents found in Idaho. The beaver is the largest, the porcupine the next largest. Adult porcupines can weigh around 30 pounds. Probably the most prominent feature of any of the rodent species is the front teeth that are a yellow-orange color on the front surface and white on the back of the teeth. The orange surface is a special enamel that helps keep a rodent's teeth sharp.
