The reason barnacles grow on whale bodies is simple: these small, sticky crustaceans, related to crabs, lobsters, and shrimps, live on the whale to find a stable place to live, a free ride, and plenty of food.

This creates the right conditions for barnacle larvae to embed themselves in the whale's skin. Learn more about humpbacks during our dream whale holiday!

Quiet Sunset with a Hippo and the Elephant Herd 🦛🐘 https://lnkd.in/dV8zqTYv The hippopotamus (Greek for 'river horse') is a strong animal that spends most of its days in water to keep cool and protect its sensitive skin. Herbivores by nature, hippos move onto land at night to graze on grass. While they may be solitary at times, they are often found sharing waterholes with large pods of their own kind. The interactions between elephants and hippos are intriguing. Though they may tolerate each other, hippos can display territorial behaviour in the water, while elephants, being larger and more powerful, usually stand their ground. While interactions can be tense, these two iconic species generally coexist peacefully. In many traditional African cultures, elephant dung has practical uses beyond its natural role in the ecosystem. The carers offer insights into how elephant dung is used to help with ailments, such as labour pains and nosebleeds. Additionally, dung serves as a natural fertiliser for crops, and some communities even use it to create building materials. #everyelephantneedsaherd

The Walleye's golden glow is made better in the sunset, but what are some other fun facts about them?☀️ ➡️ Nocturnal Feeders: Walleyes are primarily nocturnal feeders, which is why they're often caught during the early morning or late evening hours. They have a significant advantage in low light, allowing them to hunt more effectively than many other fish species during these times. ➡️ Unique Eyes: The name "walleye" comes from the fish's distinctive eyes, which have a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum. (That's what allows them to see so well in low-light conditions!) ➡️ Great Game Fish: Walleye are highly sought after by anglers for their challenging fight and excellent taste. They're known for their strong, steady pull when hooked, making them a favourite among sport fishermen.
