For animal & book lovers - just read a great novel based on true story of 2 depression era African Giraffes who survived a hurricane & were driven cross country to reach San Diego Zoo in a rigged up pick up truck. Depression weary Americans were captivated. It details the connection the young man who later wrote his story down-- connection he had w/ those magnificent gentle animals. West With Giraffes--Lynda Rutledge.

12 fascinating facts to know about the mighty hippos of Africa!
Are Hippos Friendly?
As long as you keep your distance, they can be friendly. Once you enter their territory, you become a threat to the animals. That can make the animals angry, aggressive and maybe they will charge you. Read more on my blog post: https://anettemossbacher.com/12-fascinating-facts-to-know-about-the-mighty-hippos-of-africa/

A hippo in the water. It's head just above the water surface giving you a big smile. Its mouth is lit by the beautiful warm light of the African sunrise light.

An incentive from an quiet evening walk - I was still about 10 minutes until they all crossed the road 😊

These fascinating creatures are often seen diving into the water to catch their food. The plunge can begin from up heights of even 65 ft in the air. Gulf Islands National Seashore FL.

Interesting video from a biologist who explains why touching #wildanimals is bad for them. As such he criticizes #shark influencer #OceanRamsey and he tries to verify whether she is really doing scientific research about sharks and holds a PhD in biology as claimed.

In Germany, each thesis is published and you can do this verification. In France, this is not the case. What about the US? Is there a way to verify that somebody holds a #PhD?

Spotted this armadillo foraging in the grass along a rural road on one of our afternoon outings. Such interesting little creatures with their armor-like exterior and beautiful pattern on their body and tail.

Wo kommen eigentlich welche #Wildtiere vor? Wie können seltene und großräumig wandernde Arten dokumentiert werden? ⁠Wie arbeiten verschiedene Akteurinnen und Akteure fachlich am besten zusammen? ⁠
Das sind nur einige Fragen, die ein Projekt der FVA, des Landesjagdverbandes BW (LJV) und des World Wide Fund for Nature Deutschland (WWF) beantwortet.⁠

https://www.jaguarrescue.foundation/ The Jaguar Rescue Center rehabilitates wild animals. They are entirely dependent upon volunteers and donations. They are especially in need of medical equipment and can use outdated/expired medical equipment. Please share this with medical professionals who may be able to donate equipment. They treat about 1000 animals each year. #AnimalRescue #AnimalHospital #WildAnimals #AnimalRehabilitation #BabyAnimals #CallToAction #MedicalEquipment #animals #help

Two adorable two-fingered sloths. The larger one looks out at the camera. Both are seriously undersized due to a variety of health conditions. Sloths are one of the most commonly brought in animals, mostly because of electrocution. Most electrocuted sloths do not survive, but the Jaguar Center raises money to provide better insulation for electrical lines, which results in far fewer electrocutions each year.
Two brown boobies. The one in the front had surgery to remove three fishhooks from his throat, stomach, and intestines. The one in the back has a badly healed broken wing. Neither can be released, but donations paid for a saltwater swimming area for them, which is much better than the bucket of salt water they had previously.
This white tail deer is a subspecies endemic to Costa Rica but which is critically endangered. And if they disappear, so will jaguars. This doe has a tongue which hangs out of her mouth as though she were a panting dog. This is a common tongue injury for deer who panic and crash into fences. She is fine. She just drools a lot. She can’t be released because she is too habituated to humans.
This is a margay testing atop a branch. Margays are beautiful arboreal wildcats. This one is named Diabolito, or Little Devil. He is a highly skilled murderer of any animal which gets close to his enclosure. He pulls little animals through the tiny openings of his cage. He is very fast and without mercy. Margays are critically endangered. He cannot be released because he is habituated to humans.

Gelada society is based on a multi-level social system. Female geladas form the core of these societies, with groups of related females, their offspring, and one or more adult males. These groups are called reproductive units or harems.

More than 70 dangerous wild animals are privately owned in Wiltshire, an #FOI has revealed.

A herd of bison, venomous snakes and leopards are all being kept by owners with licences under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.

The koala is an adorable, tree dwelling marsupial that is perhaps the most popular animal native to Australia.
Koalas are lovely, fluffy animals known for spending most of their lives sleeping on trees and eating eucalyptus leaves.

I love Koalas because they are so darn cute. They don't really do much of anything, but discovering and observing wild Koalas in the trees is very exciting. One of the most touching moments for me in Australia.

I discovered this Indian Palm Squirrel during a jungle tour in India.

Wild animals are amazing and hard to discover. The color of this squirrel is almost the same as the color of the tree trunk.

Good morning,

this photograph was taken during a jungle safari in Odhisha, India.

It was very hot and even the monkeys were tired.

It's exactly how I feel this morning!

Now the baby monkey found a banana. I guess it would prefer the orange from its mama.

It's cool to see the wild animals here in India and I love watching them.

I like to share a few funny impressions with my photographs.

Enjoy it.
