Muon is named after the recently discovered muon particle due to her demure size. She weighs in at a petite 28lbs! Muon was a quick study and has already racked up some respectable field time working with the scent detection teams at California wind farms where she assisted with bird and bat fatality monitoring surveys. More recently, she traveled to Southern Arizona with SCENTdog Circe assisting with surveys for rare and endangered Pediocactus. Muon’s hobbies include tugging, running and jumping.
