www.boyenhaddin.com In the race between a lion and a deer, the outcome often favors the deer because of the purpose behind their running. The lion runs in pursuit of food, driven by hunger and the need to sustain itself. On the other hand, the deer runs for its life, motivated by the instinct for survival. The purpose behind the deer's running is more crucial, as it directly relates to its existence and safety. The deer's survival instinct compels it to run with all its might to escape the predator. In contrast, the lion's pursuit is driven by the need to eat, which, while important for the lion, doesn't carry the same immediate life-or-death significance as it does for the deer. This analogy highlights the idea that the significance of one's purpose can greatly influence the outcome of any endeavor. In this case, the deer's purpose of survival gives it a greater sense of urgency and determination, often leading to its victory in the race. #boyenhaddin #SurvivalOfTheFittest #Nature #Instincts #Purpose #RaceForLife #Wildlife #PredatorVsPrey #AnimalKingdom #LifeOrDeath #Adaptation #NaturalSelection

I was going through this very beautiful article today which says Why it is advised to 'Live like a wolf' After going through the below I was like Woo. If we are open to learn & change we can learn from everywhere and Nature is the best source from where we can learn everything. The Wolf Packs Wolves are one of the most loyal, intelligent & most cunning animals in the wild. Their loyalty to their pack and their values for themselves are impeccable and very few other wild animals can mirror them. 10 reasons why wolves are known to have exemplary nature: #PackMentality Wolves are known for their strong sense of unity & cooperation within their pack. They understand the importance of teamwork & rely on each other for survival. Similarly, in wolves, the hunt is always equally shared. #ExtremelyAdaptable Wolves are highly adaptable creatures, and can survive in any kind of climate. From the forest to the tundras, these intelligent creatures learn to adapt wisely. #InstinctualIntelligence Wolves have remarkable instincts which make them excellent guardians and hunters at the same time. They can assess situations swiftly, make split-second decisions, and exhibit strategic thinking in hunting & Defending their territory. #Resourcefulness Wolves are skilled hunters, but they are also opportunistic feeders. They utilize all available resources efficiently, minimizing waste & maximizing sustenance. #Communication The communication system of wolves is vey similar to large predators. Through body language & scent marking, wolves show great intelligence in leaving the right clues in the right spots. #RespectforHierarchy Just like human families, within wolf packs, their is a clear hierarchy with an alpha leading the pack. However, this hierarchy is maintained through displays of respect rather than dominance. #TheyDoNotInBreed Unlike other apex predators, a wolf never engages in amorous activities with someone of their own family. Even if the alpha dies and the new alpha takes over, he will never force a female wolf to come under his wing. #FamilyValues Wolves prioritize the well-being of their pack members, particularly the young, the old who can't keep up & the injured. They demonstrate strong family bonds & exhibit care & compassion towards one another. #TheyAreExtremelyLoyal A wolf is extremely loyal to its mate and does not breed with anyone else all his or her life. It is believed that once wolf dies, his or her mate, usually mourns for about a year and eventually drifts apart. #WolvesNeverEatCarrion Wolves are probably the only wild animals who do not eat another animal's dead & decaying meat or an animal hunted by someone outside of their breed. It is always said that if we want to learn something, we can learn from our surroundings, our nature. We can learn from the Plants, Trees and animals also The question is are we open to learn? #LiveLikeaWolf #Adaptable #Loyal #FamilyValues #Communication #Resourcefulness

Let us introduce you to the cheeky, playful “clown of the tundra," the Arctic fox! Here are a few fascinating facts about the animal that remind us of Theodore Roosevelt's transformation from a sickly, bookish, solitary boy to a powerful leader of men. 1. Arctic foxes are primarily solitary animals living on the Arctic tundra and pack ice. It's amazing how they can survive in such harsh environments. 2. Also known as Vulpes lagopus, the Arctic fox has adapted remarkably well to survive in the frigid Arctic, with average temperatures hitting -12 to -6 ° C (0 to 20° F). Ah, brrr! Their short legs, short muzzle, and rounded ears all help minimize the exposed surface area, reducing heat loss. 3 The Arctic fox has the warmest fur of any animal in the Arctic, able to withstand temperatures as low as -70°C. When it gets too cold, the fox's metabolism increases, providing warmth. 4. Arctic foxes are well-known for their hunting style. These cheeky carnivores and scavengers hunt rodents, birds, and even fish. But when winter comes, prey can be scarce, so they follow in the footsteps of the Arctic's premier predator, the polar bear, and feed on leftover scraps. And now that we’ve given you a few deets about our thick-furred friends, the busy Beaver and the Arctic Fox have something in common. Let’s see if you can guess. #arcticfox #wildlife #naturelovers #carnivores #scavengers #hunting #polarbear #adorableanimals #playful #cheeky #clownofthetundra #nature #animallovers #adorable #cute

Eyes in the Trees, Ears on the Ground 🌳 🌳 A survival strategy that benefits both 🐒 🦌 The relationship between langurs and deer in the forest is an good example of mutualism, a relationship that benefits both the species. With their excellent eyesight and vantage point in the trees, langurs can spot predators like tigers much sooner than deer. When they see danger, they raise an alarm call, warning the deer. Deer have a strong sense of smell and hearing, which helps them detect predators approaching on the ground level. #deer #langur #mutualism #wildlife Both deer and langurs have a better chance of escaping predators.

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

Do You Know "The law of wasted efforts" ? “Do you know lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts? Which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeed only in 25%? Half of the eggs of fishes are eaten… half of the baby bears die before puberty.. Most of the worlds’ rains fall in oceans … Most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds.. Scientists have found that animals, tress, and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of “wasted efforts”. Only humans think that the lack of #success in a few attempts is failure, but the truth is that we only fail when we stop trying. Success is not to have a #life free of pitfalls and falls, but success is to #walk over your #mistakes and go beyond every stage where your efforts were wasted looking forward to the next stage.” There’s a formula in winning and losing, and every #failure should be one that builds your appetite for success rather than making you lose it. Remember the #lawofefforts, it governs all species. So enjoy the journey as- failure isn’t really failure if you’re enjoying the #journey. #whatdoyouthink #linkedinconnections

Now sure, you might see one of these short-legged furry fellas, say ‘aww’ and get into a cuddling mode but make no mistake! These are fearsome creatures who may appear adorable and docile but can fight back when provoked. Apart from being adorable but fierce fighters, badgers are also extremely important for the ecosystem and play an important role. 🦡🦡 The eclectic badger can be found all across the United Kingdom — with most of them being in south England. In North America, they live in the Great Plains region. Most badgers are members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, and mainly live in areas that are a mix of woodland and open country in a network of underground burrows and tunnels called ‘setts.’ American badgers are powerful and mostly nocturnal animals that capture their prey by rapid digging. Usually solitary, they feed mainly on rodents, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, mice, and voles. Other prey includes insects, reptiles, and eggs of ground-nesting birds. ⁉: Did you know? The den of an American badger can be as deep as ten feet, with more than 30 feet of tunnels along with a large area for sleeping. #NationalBadgerDay #BadgerDay #ZempelInsurance #LakeMillsWI #LakeMillsOffice #LakeMillsInsurance #StateFarm #BadgerState #BadgerAwareness #WildlifeProtection #BadgerHabitat

“Rub-down in the cold November rain.” A wide-antlered 12-point Whitetail Buck rubs his antlers on the trunk of a small tree during the November rut. They do this during this time of the year to have a visual sign to other deer that this rub is here, and for the markings to show how large he is. But it’s more of a scent communicating thing than anything, as they rub their forehead glands on the rub as much as their antlers. You can see this buck pausing to smell his scent and handiwork on this tree in photos 3 and 7 of the 9 photos here. The forehead glands are located above the eyes and between the antlers of a buck. A doe also has forehead glands above their eyes and between their ears. The glands will start to produce an oily substance in September. As the rut moves on, the glands will secrete more oils. The secretion will cause the hair on the buck’s forehead to get darker and even reddish. The purpose of the forehead glands on a buck is essential. As a deer marks a tree with the oily substance, it leaves some information for the other deer in the area. A deer can learn three things from a rub: First, a deer can determine the age of the deer, making the rub. Secondly, a rub can explain a deer’s social status. Finally, it can communicate to other deer its breeding status. An older buck secretes more oils from his forehead glands. Thus, older deer will mark more trees. Some biologists believe that forehead gland secretion has a pheromone that can help a doe come into estrus. How many of you have seen Whitetail Bucks rubbing a tree with his antlers while out in the field? Did you know all the other scent related parts of a buck rubbing a tree, like I describe above? . . . . . . #druryoutdoors #majorleaguebowhunter #collegiateoutdoors #antlerarmy #hunting #redneck #hunt #deerhunting

The Belief System of the Lion and Its Prey 🦁🦓 The Lion's Perspective Instinct and Survival: The lion's belief system revolves around survival. When it sees an elephant or another animal, it evaluates the potential for food based on size, strength, and risk. 🥩 Predatory Drive: Triggered by the sight of other animals, the lion's natural inclination is to consider each as potential prey unless proven otherwise. 🔍 Confidence and Dominance: As apex predators, lions believe in their superiority and hunting capabilities, reinforced by their physical prowess and skills. 🏆 The Prey's Perspective Instinct and Survival: The prey's belief system is driven by survival. Seeing a lion triggers a fight-or-flight response to avoid becoming a meal. 🚨 Fear and Vigilance: Prey animals are constantly vigilant. The sight of a lion instills fear and alertness, centering around avoiding predation. 👀 Escape and Evasion: Prey animals use strategies like running, camouflage, or group protection to avoid being caught. 🏃♂️ Interaction Between Belief Systems The Chase: A lion's hunt creates a clash between its confidence and the prey's survival instincts. This dynamic results in a chase, where the lion uses strength and speed, and the prey relies on agility and evasion. ⚡ Outcome and Adaptation: The result of the chase affects both belief systems. A successful hunt boosts the lion's confidence, while a failed hunt may lead it to reassess strategies. Escaping reinforces the prey's survival tactics, while being caught underscores the constant danger they face. 🔄 In essence, the belief systems of the lion and its prey are shaped by their roles in the food chain. The lion's belief centers on predation and confidence, while the prey focuses on survival, fear, and evasion. This interplay drives their behavior and interactions in the wild. 🌍 #subhansharif #canvassoftskills #commitment #performance #Professionalism #BestPractices #performancemanagement #Leadership #corporate #training #businesses #WildlifeBeliefs #LionVsPrey #PredatorInstincts #SurvivalStrategies #NatureDynamics #NatureBalance

"I receive more and more calls each year from landowners inquiring about their seedlings having a “funny” look or appearing to look like “little bushes.” Inevitably, after investigating the claims, I find that one of two culprits is at work. I have already discussed one of the primary villains, the Nantucket Pine Tip Moth, in a TreeLines article a while back. Now let’s talk about the other one. DEER! Officially Whitetail Deer."
