This Was One Of The Tiniest Dragonflies I Have Ever Seen, And They Were All Over In The Masai Mara.

a very fashionable little friend

The biggest wild moths I ever met were these delightful chonks. They're privet hawkmoths, the largest hawkmoth species that lives here in the UK. These friendly giants drop by my nieces often, which is where I met them. I haven't see this species in my own area yet, but may we always have such moths to look out for 🦋💖🦋

Animal of the Day!

Greater Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris)

(Photo by Kulpat Saralamba)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southeastern Asia; Central Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 14 kg; 100 cm; 25 cm tail

Diet- Insects; Small mammals; Fruits; Roots; Worms

Cool Facts- Despite appearances, the greater hog nosed badger is the second largest mustelid and not a pig. Eating practically anything, these badgers spend their days wandering through thick forests and grassland. The greater hog badger uses their sensitive snout to dig through leaf litter in search of delicacies. They are relatively unafraid of people and are often seen waltzing past camera traps without a care in the world. In as few as 15 years, their population has been halved due to illegal poaching and snaring. Conservationists are rushing to put an end to snaring and encourage captive breeding programs.

Rating- 13/10 (Ban snaring worldwide.)

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.
