The winter months are dark in the boreal forest. Hours of available hunting are low and temperatures are extremely low. It’s a miracle that anything can find sustenance and survive here. The birds that live here are tough and belong mainly to particular families of birds. Owls do particularly well here, the long nights actually working in their favour by increasing hunting time.

A detective story: A few White-tailed Eagles live in the Netherlands. The Netherlands White-tailed Eagle Working Group watches out for them, partly via transmitters. At one point, a White-tailed Eagle does not change its position anymore, obviously an alarming sign, and subsequently is found dead in a field. It had fallen forward onto a dead coot.

There’s hardly a more magnificent spectacle than flying into LaGuardia Airport at night. Coming in for the landing over the East River one looks left to a cityscape of epic proportions, lit up like a fairytale mountain range. I’m only saying, the Dutch know how to pick a good spot for a city. Location, location, location – we have said it before.

Woodpeckers are a fascinating family. They bang away at trees with their beaks, without knocking themselves silly. They excavate nest holes, which later become homes for other birds and small mammals, making them a keystone species. There are 22 species of woodpeckers in the US and Canada. I have seen 21 of them. Here, I share my favourites. Red-headed Woodpecker 2.

When you ask someone what they know about Brazil, you will likely hear answers about the world-famous Rio de Janeiro Carnival, the vast Amazon River, or even Iguazu Falls along the border with Paraguay and Argentina. Brazil ranks fifth largest country by area, occupying about half of South America. There is an attraction that could quickly draw anyone for a visit.

Because I lived in South Africa for most of my youth, I have seen a large portion of the huge variety of species in this amazing country. Of these, some have become particular favourites over the years, some of which I list here in no particular order – it was already hard enough to get down to ten species in the first place (my initial title was “10 favourite species”…).

By the time I post this, I will be in Dublin, Ireland. This will be the beginning of a work trip to Spain and Morocco. But we always try to find somewhere new and interesting for the first few days of such trips, while we adjust to new time zones. This year’s choice was Dublin. We have been making these trips annually for three years now.

You know things are getting desperate when you get excited by an unexpected flock of Starlings. Here I was, six days into a trip to Mani, in the Greek Peloponnese, and my bird list had yet to reach 40 species. It was early in the morning, and I was trudging up a dried-up river valley in the hope of finding a few birds.

They let an attack dog loose on me and I have to run away and across a small little river. Is it better to swim to the other side or try to fend off the dog in the water while we're both swimming?

Hey everyone! I recently completed a metal sculpture of a giraffe, born on October 16, 2024. It weighs 4.5 pounds and measures 15.5" tall, 10.5" long, and 4.5" wide. Crafted from unfinished 16 gauge hot rolled metal, it has a dark natural look. I used a Bodor i7 fiber laser cutter for precision and a Toptek fiber laser welder to fuse the pieces together without filler.

So one of the mollies in my lab had babies. Early on I seperated 3 for use with an ecology experiment. The 18 mollies in the large tank are almost full size, whereas the mollies in the column have not grown at all. The diet is as identical as I can make it. A student asked, and I dont know: Does anyone know what stimuli in the environment specifically changes the growth rate with respect to habitat size?

Hello, I woke up to my hamster dead. Since I don't have much for spending right now, I took time to retrieve a bunch of magnesium from a kit I had and tested the temperature. My laser thermometer gave a reading of 5,000°F since that was the thermometer's max and I am not sure how hot magnesium actually gets. Is at least 5,000 degrees F hot enough to creamate?

(Please don't make fun of me for this) For a while now, I've always wondered what a fox's tail feels like. In media, people say that they're very soft. Eventually, I had the grand idea that I wanted to try napping on a Fox's tail. I want the back of my head to feel it similar to how one sleeps on a pillow. Problem is, most foxes are. wild.

We have 2 female cats inside our shop. If they have an exit to go outside 24/7, they still spray. we don’t want to get rid of them because of how bad the mice get in the winter but I’m willing to try something out if there’s any chance someone has good ideas of what we could do.?!

I live in an apartment building, and around me there are 5-6 more. I was advised to go out to the street when the screaming starts and try to locate the apartment where the abuse happens that way.

So I wanted to share this story because I thought it was really cool and it at least shocked me. So today I was walking along a trail out throwing rocks and doing usual outside activities. Out in the distance I spotted a hawk flying around I think he was just checking me out maybe I was in his territory or something but nonetheless I got bored and waved the bird over to come walk with me then I started running.
