In the Boreal Forest – Part Two: the winter

10,000 Birds

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.

My 12 Favourite Birds of South Africa

10,000 Birds

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”…).

Sport Fishing in Shanghai: Little Egret at Nanhui

10,000 Birds

Little Egrets are a species that can lead to disappointment among birders. Some non-birding friends (or just passers-by trying to help a bird photographer) may excitedly tell you that somewhere, there are “many birds” It then turns out that all of them are Little Egrets – impressive birds for non-birders, but hardly worth a glance once you start spending too much time looking for birds.

How well can a dog attack you while you're both swimming?

Reddit Animals

Let's say i just found some money that doesn't belong to me but it was just out in the middle of nowhere then I come back to the site later and there's the guys whose money it was. 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.

Fish growth rate response to environment?

Reddit Animals

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?

My hamster passed

Reddit Animals

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?

How would I go about doing this?

Reddit Animals

(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.

My two dogs have started sneezing all the time. Is this cause for concern?

Reddit Animals

I have 2 blue heelers that are 3yo and in great health. About 6 days ago one of them started sneezing occasionally, and 2 days later the other one started. Nothing in the environment has changed for them. They have never had allergies. They are otherwise fine. still going on runs and eating/drinking/happy. But they are sneezing A LOT. like when they are awake its probably every 20-30 seconds. but when they are asleep they don't sneeze at all.
