Griffon Vultures have a long breeding season. Isn’t it a bit late to breed? Why bother with such a risky journey if you aren’t going to breed?

We take a look into how man’s best friends see and how good their vision really is in comparison to that of a human’s. Dogs can see really well at night as they are great hunters and years ago would hunt in low light levels, so their vision has evolved in order to help them hunt. Colour myth.

Finally in 1799, the first visitors on this volcanic land were a group of French seal hunters who were after the fur seals that can be found hauled out on the beaches for fur and oil, which almost wiped out the local population of the species. About half of all breeding Wandering Albatross nest on the Prince Edward Islands.
