Within the first few months of life, every bottlenose dolphin invents a unique whistle that becomes its name for the rest of its life — and other dolphins learn that whistle, remember it, and use it to call out to that specific individual, making bottlenose dolphins the first non-human species ever discovered to use personal names

"Australian officials ask fans to respect the privacy of Neil, a 1-ton #seal who respects nothing"
"Neil, the only male #elephantSeal to visit Tasmania in years, has commanded an enthralled TikTok following of 1.4 million in part because he acts like kind of a jerk"
I mean, I get it. I like Neil now myself
But also, I will not try to get a selfie with Neil

I knew that I would have to be very very quiet, very very still, because the deer were already alert to danger, and I didn't want to be the one to scare them away.
All I wanted to do was watch them, and just be part of this moment of peace.

Majestic Bighorn Sheep in Yellowstone
This striking wildlife photograph captures a majestic bighorn sheep standing confidently on a forested Yellowstone hillside, its powerful curved horns and rugged coat blending seamlessly into the natural wilderness around it.
The warm light and rich textures highlight the animals strength and presence.

I have been truly judged, and found to be wanting!
Swallow looking down on me through a broken skylight at South Walney today.

Draußen ist es so warm, da dachte ich, ein Winterbild ist vielleicht eine gute Erfrischung!

NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK TO READ
My latest book - THE WILD - takes the view that "anarchy", often extrapolated in and through the historical, socially-derived politics of anarchism, should instead be characterized on a naturalistic and queer basis as "the wild" (in much the same way as Kropotkin observed nature and came up with the principle of "mutual aid" in fact).
Through thirteen chapters this idea is then teased out, explained and extrapolated as something both ethical and political that is contrary to patriarchal, capitalist, industrial and technological human civilization as it has developed.
As such, this book is both a call to the wild (and to the truth and reality of the wild) and to the assertion that in feralness there is an authenticity of the mutual co-existence of all things to be found.
The book can be downloaded FOR FREE from the link below in multiple formats or read online. It can also be read to you via text to speech on that page.

Unexpected garden guests this morning. They somehow jumped in and didn’t seem to know how to jump back out. It took some encouragement getting them through the garden gate. I left them by the bus stop to catch the 6:15 local back to the edge of town. 🦌
BBC: The world's largest wildlife crossing

California is about to open the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, the largest wildlife crossing in the world. Will it be enough to save the state's mountain lion population?
Well it was quite the day for wildlife here in far north Queensland :)
I stayed at Etty Bay and was rewarded with a 15 min cassowary promenade passing FirstDogonTheMoon's excellent sign and also kind of doing an Abbey Road (Etty Road?)
After a drive up the very scenic ranges to Yungaburra I saw a platypus swimming around for approx 30 min. I didn't try to take photos, I just admired how they are so water adapted that with all the swimming and diving not once did I see a splash, the water just flows around them 🥰
It was musth season in South Africa and the bull elephants can be quite agressive. That made it all the more exhilerating to have this bull just feet from our truck standing alongside the road. He had been in our camp the night before.

There’s something about an owl’s stare that stops you in your tracks.
Those enormous eyes, the wild feathered tufts, and an expression that seems to say it knows exactly what you’re doing. This Eurasian eagle-owl was such a beautiful character to photograph.

Quiet place, peaceful spot, hidden away in a small grove of trees, do you know what's going on in the world?
"And what world?" you say. "This is the world, our world, and this is what goes on here.
"What goes on in yours?"
