What to bring to the park 1. Binoculars: Don't be the one wishing you had binoculars when the majestic lion appears just beyond your reach. 2. Cooler Box: Beat the heat! With temperatures often soaring above 35°C in Kruger National Park, a cooler box is essential for keeping drinks and snacks chilled. 3. Kruger National Park Map: You don't want to get lost. 4. Camera: Will you explain to your friend why you don't have a picture of that elusive leopard you claimed to see? 5. Sunblock: Don't come back looking like a lobster. 6. Bring a bag for your garbage—nature doesn’t have a garbage truck 7. Bird and Animal Identification Books: Don’t let that chicken fool you—pack your bird and animal identification books to avoid any embarrassing mix-ups!

The Raven is a snitch to some animals 😂 Ravens and wolves share a remarkable and unique partnership in the wild, one that showcases the intelligence and social adaptability of both species. This relationship, known as mutualism, allows both animals to benefit from each other's strengths in ways that support their survival. Ravens, being highly intelligent and social birds, often follow wolf packs on their hunts. When wolves take down large prey, such as elk or deer, the ravens feed on the remains. This provides the ravens with a reliable and substantial food source that they may not be able to obtain alone.👀 But the partnership goes beyond just scavenging; ravens actually help wolves locate prey. With their keen eyesight and aerial vantage point, they can spot potential prey or danger from far away, sometimes using specific calls that wolves may recognize and respond to. Interestingly, wolves seem to tolerate the presence of ravens around their kills, despite their usual territorial nature. In some cases, wolves and ravens have even been observed eating side by side, demonstrating a high level of trust. This is the best collaboration ever between common animals I have heard in recent years. 👌 Credited: Sciencereverse4 #wolfpack #wolfpack #natureismagic #partnerships #dogsarelife

Dogs are a fundamental element in the balance of the ecosystem in #TorresdelPaine. Maremma dogs scare pumas away from the herds, allowing the sheep culture to continue to develop in the region. In the following video we tell you their story, Happy #InternationalDogDay! https://hubs.la/Q02HhMNg0

I regularly put together breed profiles because understanding your breed, or cross breed potential behaviours is how we live well with our dogs. They don’t all have exactly the same needs. When people research a breed they usually look for things that support their desire to have the breed/ cross breed, often ignoring the not so good stuff. Most websites don’t include this because these sites are designed to encourage people to get the breed. If you know anyone planning to get a Beagle, please share this article for the good and the darker side! lol https://lnkd.in/eYQT3yCx

The Black-legged Seriema (Chunga burmeisteri) bird is native to South America. This bird is noted for its dark, blackish legs and more elusive nature. It prefers drier scrublands, savannas, and open woodlands in regions such as Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. Black-legged Seriemas are known to be ground-dwelling birds that can run swiftly. The Black-legged Seriema has a sleek, mostly grayish-brown body with a pale face and a slender beak, which is usually light in color. It has blackish or dark legs, distinguishing it from the red-legged variety. Black-legged Seriemas are carnivorous, feeding on small animals, insects, and sometimes even snakes, which they capture and kill with quick strikes. 

Our Mid-Atlantic Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is taking action to protect Maryland’s public lands, wildlife, and outdoor heritage. We’ve just sent 53 letters to Governor Wes Moore, Maryland Senators, Representatives, and key State Senators/Delegates whose districts would be impacted by the proposed Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project. In these letters, we urge our elected officials to consider the long-term impacts on fish and wildlife habitats, public access to public lands, and hunting and fishing opportunities. We advocate for a “no net loss” principle—ensuring that if public lands are impacted, they’re replaced with lands of equal or greater value for future generations. Our message is clear: while we recognize the importance of strengthening our electrical grid, it must be done responsibly, with a commitment to safeguarding the natural resources that define our outdoor heritage. Write your Maryland state representative and join us in standing up for our public lands, waters, and wildlife. Let’s ensure that the voices of sportsmen, women, and outdoor enthusiasts are heard in the decision-making process. Backcountry Hunters & Anglers
