An orang utan was the first to be filmed crossing this wildlife bridge in Sumatra, which is essential for their survival

(Yes it would have been better to not have had those developments at all. Related: environmental activists in that area have pretty bleak mortality rates.)

After the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl’s Reactor Four, many presumed the land would be biologically dead for generations. “The pine forests closest to the plant absorbed such intense radiation that their needles turned an orange-red and died, creating what became known as the Red Forest,” author Katie Stacey writes. Today, some truly weird wildlife are getting by, if not thriving. Read more from @sciencefocus:

Nesting season is here!
Peeking through the evergreen branches in the breeze, it's a treat to see these adorable, 9-10 days old Anna's Hummingbird chicks in their tiny nest, in their natural habitat with their protective, caring mother perched at the edge of the nest and even more special to capture their feeding.
The nestlings are growing strong day by day. Their eyes are already opened and can regulate their body temperature, so mom spends more time away from the nest, looking for insects for her babies as a great protein source. She usually returns and feed them in every 45 minutes.

Taken from a distance with a telephoto lens at an undisclosed location in Edmonds, Washington on April 20th, 2026.

Owl Sun Swirl by Lisa S. Baker

A luminous portrait of an owl surrounded by soft green, yellow, and golden tones, with gentle circular movement that gives the composition a warm and radiant feel. Layered brushwork and rich texture create a painterly sense of depth, while the owl's calm, focused expression keeps the piece grounded and serene. The blend of earthy greens and glowing light gives the artwork a balanced, natural beauty with a subtle sense of wonder.

April 1st really does make you feel like the butt-end of a joke...

When I was in #Africa, what started as a joke ended up making a goofy series images. I named them "The South End of Africa". A play on the fact that I was in #SouthAfrica as well and well. Butts.

Enjoy two of the entries I made.

Versammlung von Schwalben ist ein Aquarellgemälde im Querformat gemalt von der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar. Vor einem blauen Himmel mit weißen Wölkchen haben sich auf drei Stromleitungen Schwalben versammelt. Die Silhouetten der Vögel in dunklem Indigoblau heben sich deutlich gegen den Himmel ab. Einige der Schwalben sitzen auf den Leitungen und scheinen ein Schwätzchen zu halten. Andere fliegen gerade heran, um an der Versammlung teilzunehmen. Andere sind schon beim Abflug.

Amid destruction & devastation in the wake of #war, Iranians have found a rare glimmer of hope among one of the nation’s most #EndangeredSpecies.

#Iran has recorded a jump this year in its official number of #AsiaticCheetahs, a subspecies, now found only in Iran, that has been on the brink of #extinction for years.

I almost missed #WildlifeWednesday so, here is a last minute submission - a cute female mallard resting in a small pond.

Despite being general jerks, and very common, Mallards are actually one of my favourite ducks. The females have that incredibly gorgeous purple flair under their wing that I always love seeing.

#ducks #mallard #wildlife #waterfowl #wildlifephotography #photography

A female mallard duck floats on deep blue-grey water with her head tucked into her wing, revealing the intricate pattern of her brown and cream speckled feathers and a flash of iridescent purple-blue on her folded wing. Small ripples radiate outward across the still water around her, and her orange-tipped bill is just visible tucked against her body.

While on my walk in a park, I noticed a Bushtit pair-adorable, tiny fluff balls, no bigger than my thumb- busy building their nest, weaving moss and silk into a soft, dangling pouch, a sock-like structure, hanging from a thin branch.

While on my walk in a park on a sunny spring day, I noticed a Bushtit pair-adorable, tiny fluff balls, no bigger than my thumb- busy building their nest, weaving moss and silk into a soft, dangling pouch, a sock-like structure, hanging from a thin branch with an opening on the front. Nest building can last up to a month. They were tirelessly bringing nest-building materials, moss, lichen, spider webs to make their home cozy and withstand the weather. Such great architects!
I observed their behavior from a distance using a telephoto lens.
