The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. So, the best way to find a leopard is to find the kill. It was a fresh kill, and though it might take hours, the observers knew that eventually the leopard was going to come back for his breakfast. And, there were birds.

You see, everyone knows the bats, wolverines, spiders and cats get their turn as well known superheroes, but what about the birds? 9: Swift What would happen if instead of sending the Joker and Lex Luthor off to jail each time Superman and Batman caught them, instead they just killed them?

Ranging in color from off-white to dingy black, with pastel to gelatinous shades of yellow, orange, purple, and brown in-between, found in moist crevasses, decaying trees, rain-soaked pastures, mushrooms lack the beauty of butterflies and wildflowers cannot equal the action of bats, or flying fish, and certainly lack the spiritual zest of birds.

mikey, my stance can be seen in the posts about Project Treadstone (and if you type Project Treadstone into the Google Search box just below my half-blind, diabetic greyhound, Violet Rays, on the right, you'll get a dozen more posts). And when the option is rounding them up and killing them, TNR looks like an especially attractive option.

Straight off the bat we found a Little Grebe and a small flock of distant Cotton Pygmy-geese ! If you have some time to kill, or better yet a tour of Thailand planned, be sure to include it! If this kind of mess is what birders call a gull is it hardly surprising laypeople just call them seagulls?).

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans.

The latter is even captured in a somewhat gruesome video , in which the hornbill plucks a caged bird out of its cage and kills and eats it. At 15h59, the female picked up the fourth chick and killed it by repeatedly crushing it with her beak. Then she tried to feed it to the remaining chicks.

There are a number of potential reasons for this, the most likely by far being that Pat has been batting for both teams for a couple of weeks. Watch out for Tom during October to see this anomaly put right. 301 N Virginia Dare Trl, Kill Devil Hills US-NC (36.0166,-75.6573). Bat Falcon – Falco rufigularis.

Luckily, I have just the mega tour I need, right here in the islands I call home. Nor is the sight of the Greater Short-tailed Bat , which can still fly but instead chooses to scurry across the forest floor in the manner of a shrew. There are few sights on Earth more astonishing than the largest flying predator making its kill.
