Not sure if I posted this before, but a duck in the sun sleeping in a pond at Nisqually Wildlife Preserve. #nisqually #seattle #duck #sleeping #nap #wildllife #nature #beautiful
For #WildlifeWednesday and #WhiskersWednesday, here's a memory from 2010 when we visited the #Seal Centre #Friedrichskoog. This sanctuary rescues and raises abandoned seal pups and provides a home for a few adult seals that cannot be released back into the North Sea. It rehabilitates both grey seals and harbour seals, the two seal species native to Germany. 🦭

Most #bumblebee species native to cooler/temperate regions historically tended to be univoltine - they produced only one colony/generation per year. However human caused #climate heating is now impacting upon this norm.

Biodiversity monitoring: Data from wildlife camera traps to the Atlas of Living Australia

"The Wildlife Observatory of Australia
(WildObs) is a national initiative transforming how Australia collects, processes, and shares data from wildlife camera traps. It brings together artificial intelligence, field monitoring standards, and open data infrastructure to create an end-to-end platform that supports large-scale biodiversity monitoring and ecological research. By streamlining the management of camera trap data—from image collection to analysis—WildObs aims to improve the consistency, accessibility, and scientific value of this rapidly growing data source." >>

A new dataset sees verified images from wildlife camera traps available in the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA).>>

Your animal break of the morning: photo I took some time back of a little baby bunny in the backyard. The offspring of this rabbit or his/her siblings have moved up to the hillside and only come in the yard now when the dog is not around (although he knows not to chase little bunnies...they don't trust him) #AnimalHour #animals #wildllife
