Living Adventurer’s Post

Wildflowers need patience and care We've planted lots of wildflowers this year and last, the idea was to do our bit to help the bees, insects and butterflies. Read more on our blog >>> https://soci.es/dJj #derby #family #accommodation #wildflowers #gardens

LEARNINGS FROM FORESTS: TIGERS & TERRITORY MARKING Tigers are not just magnificent creatures—they are fiercely territorial. Each tiger commands its domain with precision, marking their territory with scent and sound. This behavior is crucial for their survival, minimizing conflict and ensuring access to resources. Understanding these dynamics gives us a profound respect for their role in the ecosystem. At Happy Hathi Expeditions we ensure that your safaris are not just about sighting tigers but also understanding the nuances of their lives. #Wildlife #Conservation #Tigers #followhappyhathi

This red-tailed hawk, like many of its species, hunts roadside grasses for voles, mice, and other prey. The unfortunate byproduct of this adopted niche behavior is that #birds occasionally get hit by passing traffic. They use powerline poles as perches and have a keen sense of sight to go with those talons. But when focused on #hunting, they pass low and sometimes get struck by cars or trucks. I've taken injured #hawks to rehabilitation centers. Most don't survive. #evolution sometimes plays games of chance with #wildlife, and the raw fact is that the birds most adept at avoiding #collisions will be the individuals that pass their #genes to the next #generation. Modern circumstances. Ancient truths.

How much can one photo tell a story? This great blue heron pic says quite a bit. First, the bird is sitting above a #wetland where water levels had returned after a period of years when levels were low, and little #wildlife was around. Large cottonwood #trees died when their roots were submerged and #woodpeckers drilled holes in the trunks, which you can see in this photo. Dozens of dead trees rife with such holes now provide nesting cavities for #woodducks #swallows and other species, including #starlings. Flocks of #birds attract apex #predator species such as #coopershawk and #kestrel, #redtailedhawk and #greathornedowl. This #heron fishes for #frogs in the #swamp and #marsh, and even hunts #mice and #voles on nearby uplands. #Muskrat and #mink, #weasels and #snakes all live here too. Regal on its perch in the morning sunlight, the heron symbolizes a healthy #environment and vital #habitat for dozens of living things including #turtles, #salamander and #dragonflies, #bats and #gulls, #terns and #ducks, #geese of four kinds and #swans, #eagle, #osprey and #kingfisher too. All because the #wetland wasn't drained and #insects thrive and drive the #foodchain. Photo ©ChristopherCudworth 2024

𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 🐺 💚𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 Wolves are known for their deep bonds with their mates, often forming lifelong partnerships. Over time, these pairs grow and develop together, supporting each other in hunting, raising pups, and defending their territory. Their relationship is built on mutual trust and cooperation, allowing them to adapt and thrive in their environment. 💚𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 : As they face challenges together, their connection strengthens, highlighting the importance of teamwork and loyalty in their survival. 🌲🐺 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 : The relationship between wolves and humans has evolved significantly over time. Historically, wolves were both feared and admired, but today, many people see them as symbols of wilderness and strength. Conservation efforts and research have fostered a deeper understanding of these animals, leading to increased respect and efforts to protect their natural habitats. 💚𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 :Wolves have also inspired various cultural and spiritual symbols, reflecting a profound connection between them and human societies. 🌍🐺💚🌲 #loyality #safety #wildlife #wolfpartnership

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 ... 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 (𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗺𝘆𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘂𝘀) https://lnkd.in/gcT9daFb The frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) is a fascinating, deep-sea shark with a unique appearance and characteristics. Here are some interesting facts about the frilled shark: 1. #Ancient #Species: Frilled sharks have remained largely unchanged for over 300 million years, earning them the nickname "living fossils." 2. #Eel-Like Body: They have a long, slender body, often compared to an eel, with a #brown or #gray #color. 3. Frilly #Gills: Their most distinctive feature is the frilly, lace-like gill slits, which give them their name. 4. #DeepSea #Dwellers: Frilled sharks inhabit deep, tropical, and temperate waters, typically between 100-1,500 meters below the surface. 5. Slow #Swimmers: They are relatively slow-moving, using their powerful tails to propel themselves through the #water. 6. Feeding #Habits: Frilled sharks feed on small fish, #squid, and other #deep #sea #creatures. 7. #Rare #Encounters: Due to their deep-sea habitat, frilled sharks are rarely seen by humans, making them somewhat mysterious creatures. 8. #Conservation Status: They are listed as Near Threatened on the #IUCN Red List, primarily due to bycatch in deep-sea #fishing #operations. These remarkable creatures continue to captivate scientists and deep-sea enthusiasts alike with their unique appearance and intriguing habits.

Sometimes, calendar dates get mixed up. You double-book and balance goes out of whack. For me, it was the case of accidentally booking a sea kayaking tour on a weekend I’d reserved for a multitude of errands and catch-up before a significant life change. Normally, I’d make the easy choice and go sea kayaking, but hundreds of small tasks were pulling me towards organization and productivity. (For all the adventure in me, there’s an equal desire for organization and planning). I kept thinking about the right and responsible decision. To keep this story from getting too long, I’ll cut to it: I went kayaking (because I’d booked the tour in advance, because friends had already driven down for it, because I wanted to, because, because, because…) And after it was all said and done, I’m happy to report kayaking ended up being the right decision. I’d been in front of the computer, constantly thinking about work, for far too long. Although I prioritized daily walks and time outdoors, I hadn’t given myself the opportunity to truly immerse my mind outside. I hadn’t disconnected. And it was adding up. Out on the ocean, I didn’t have my phone. I was technology free. And my mind was given a goal that required my body to work. Get from here to there. Don’t tip over. Clear waters, sea caves, leopard sharks, garibaldi. It was bliss. And although I really wish I could have taken pictures, I realize the act of having my phone and trying to photograph the experience would have taken me out of the experience itself. Instead, I’m left with this story to share. When things get overwhelming, go sea kayaking. Go outside. Do something different. Refresh your mind, and do it often. Allow yourself to disconnect. PS: Monthly outdoor excursions anyone? #balance #tips #productivity
