Saving the cultural legacy of wild animals Loss of biodiversity threatens the study of tool use and other cultural behaviors in animals

Judge demands ‘some kind of evidence’ from Trump’s EPA to halt climate grants Federal judge Tanya Chutkan issues restraining order pending new filings over billions in axed research grants

Trump doesn’t care of your kids or grandkids have clean air or water — or even a planet to live on — as long he and his goons get richer!!!

My morning walk took me to the wharf. I was just in time to see a “raft” of sea lions, feasting on anchovies. They gather in a group because it’s an effective hunting strategy.

On my morning walk today, this sweet little guy flew ahead of me, sitting on branches just ahead of me. Of course I had to take pictures…

More pictures from the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. Although not as many as many sandhill cranes migrated this year, many others including Arctic snow geese made the trip. A bald eagle as well as other raptors hung out as well.

A few days ago I visited the Merced National Wildlife Refuge in the early morning for the annual bird migration.

The Water Bar was THE place to be last night. Word got out. In addition to the brief inter-species meeting, an endangered, rarely seen species showed up and enjoyed a restorative libation... Last night was the first time that The Water Bar has been honored with a visit from a double-headed ungulate.

A couple of days ago there was a meeting at The Water Bar--individuals, representatives of 3 different species showed. It doesn't look like much was discussed though. Two of the guests are easily seen, but can you spot the third one who is silently observing?

‘Absolutely insane.’ Dragonfly’s extreme loop-the-loops are unparalleled in nature Insects use “crazy turning” to dry off after a cooling dip in water

Wow! Impressive!!!!

I never realized that ladybugs huddle together. From what I’ve read, they do this for warmth and for safety from predators. When the morning sun touched and warmed them, they started to move and fly.

It never occurred to me that ants hold "grudges".
