Lo mismo te alegran la mañana con su ir y venir, que te la arruinan si te descubren, Si es así el madrugón no habrá servido para nada, y todo bicho que ande por la laguna sabrá que estas ahí tumbado y pensando para tus adentros: ¿Qué hago yo aquí destrozándome las cervicales?

Giraffes, despite having such humongous necks, actually have the same number of neck vertebrae as a human. There are only seven vertebrae in mammal necks, meaning that the giraffe has vertebrae that are nearly a foot long each! Their cervical (neck) vertebrae have actually just extended in length, instead of adding more bones into the anatomy. This elongation is responsible for the neck becoming so long.
.. is an amazing thing. Very flexible in many directions! In comparison, the mobility of our cervical spine is rather poor...

Unfortunately, I have got problems with my cervical spine (blockade)-caused by a fall when skiing..Thanks to a good Physiotherapist I feel better meanwhile. But sitting for a longer period in front of my PC is strictly forbidden...
I will catch up as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.
See you soon and thank you for your friendship :-)

Primate DNA is only five percent different from ours. Like us, they feel jealousy, envy, love, shame, grief, depression... They are very social beings, they are sensitive and each one has a different personality, according to the experts, as happens in humans. They develop tools for specific purposes, which involves reasoning, anticipating the future and acting with the tool. They adopt orphans, which demonstrates social bonds, empathy and altruism. They have self-awareness, cooperative problem-solving and learning by example and experience, so they have symbolic capacity and a culture of their own, which they pass on from one generation to the next. Chimpanzees even surpass humans in certain memory tasks. An ape at the age of two is able to do small sums and use tools, while a two year old does not even know how to do sums or reason the why of the tool. They give pets to their children and they even learn words in sign language, being able to establish a conversation with their caregiver. They are able to teach their offspring sign language so that they can communicate with their caregivers. And so on. And they share a very important trait with humans, a trait not found in any other animal... laughter.
This image is dedicated to Bobby. Bobby was a chimpanzee used for decades as a laboratory animal at the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was born in captivity and at a very young age participated in biomedical experiments. By the age of 19, he had been anaesthetised more than 250 times and biopsied as many times. His life was spent in solitude inside a tiny metal cage. His body was bruised and scarred. In a deeply depressed state, he was incessantly self-harming, a clear sign that he intended to end his life. In 2002 he was transferred to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana, USA. Dedicated to Jeannie. Jeannie was in the service of science for nine years. At the age of six, she began her career in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Merck, Sharpe and Dohme. Shortly afterwards she was donated to the Buckshire Corporation and ended up at LEMSIP, Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates in New York at the age of 22. During that time she participated in several invasive experimental protocols including repeated vaginal douching, multiple cervical, liver and lymph node biopsies. She was infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and participated in rhinovirus vaccination protocols. She was anaesthetised more than 200 times. She died at the age of 31 at the Fauna Foundation, Canada's only primate sanctuary. Dedicated to Newt. Newt was born in 1979 at LEMSIP. At the age of four months he was sold to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, Texas. Newt was HIV-positive and was widely exposed to hepatitis B virus. Before he was four years old, he began intermittently self-harming. In 2003 he had his canines removed. Newt's clinical reports indicated that he had bites and lacerations on his hands, fingers, thighs, arms, legs, wrists and scrotum. A psychiatric report determined that Newt was in a profound state of insanity and derangement. He was attempting to commit suicide and end his life. This image is dedicated to all primates who have suffered psychological and physical torture, deprivation of liberty, abominable experiments and death in scientific laboratories, pharmaceutical, automobile, cosmetic, aeronautical, aerospace multinationals... and dedicated especially to Bobby, Jeannie and Newt.

Silvio Rodríguez - Al final de este viaje / Al final de este viaje (1978)
We are the prehistory that will have the future. We are the remote annals of man. These years are the past of the sky. These years are a certain agility with which the sun draws you into the future. They are the truth or the end, they are god. We are left, those who can smile in the midst of death, in full light.

Making sense of what I've heard and what is on my mind.
.....
PS: When I look into the eyes of an ape, all I see in them is sadness and eyes that ask me, why, why? And I can only lower my gaze to the ground, while I shed some tears and feel a deep shame... shame of being human... a "Homo stupidus".

Ces oiseaux sont connus pour leur cou courbé (ils possèdent 24 vertèbres cervicales) et pour leurs belles plumes blanches, au nombre de 25 000 chez le cygne adulte. Leurs pieds sont palmés. Les cygnes sont les plus grands membres de la famille des Anatidae, et sont parmi les plus gros oiseaux volants, pesant jusqu'à 15 kg et mesurant 1,50 m environ.
Covão d'Ametade is one of the most beautiful places in the Serra da Estrela, it is a circular area, in the shape of an amphitheater, surrounded by granite slopes, very abrupt, monumental and overwhelming, reducing our smallness and at the bottom of which a accumulation of sediments, which make possible the development of tree vegetation.
Once a cervical pasture, today it represents a depression of glacial origin that was wooded over time with birches on the banks of the river Zêzere. It is a paradisiacal scenario.
It is in Covão d'Ametade that the river Zêzere takes shape, in the small plain originating in glacial sediments. It is a very attractive area due to the surrounding vegetation mostly composed of birch trees, a plant that has the particularity of creating an ecosystem with a great biodiversity. Although the place is close to 1500 meters of altitude, it is just not accessible on the coldest winter days. This place is sought after by winter and mountain sportsmen who choose to start their hikes and climbs along the caves and rock formations that end up next to the Cântaro Magro in this area. There are three Cântaros that rise around Covão d´Ametade: the Cântaro Raso, further south; the Cântaro Magro, central and emblematic of the entire Serra da Estrela; and Cântaro Gordo, to the north.

Phoenicopterus
Los flamencos mayores (Phoenicopterus) son un género de aves neognatas de la familia Phoenicopteridae. Son aves que se distribuyen tanto por el hemisferio occidental como por el hemisferio oriental; existen dos especies en América y una en el Viejo Mundo. Tienen el cráneo desmognato holorrino, con dieciséis a veinte vértebras cervicales y pies anisodáctilos.
Taken within the Mabula Game Reserve, Ouklip, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Number of Vertebrae:
Despite their long necks, giraffes have the same number of cervical vertebrae as humans—seven. However, each vertebra is elongated, measuring about 25 centimeters long, contributing to their impressive height.
Weight and Support:
A giraffe's neck can weigh around 270 kilograms (600 pounds), supported by a robust skeletal structure and powerful neck muscles that help manage its balance and movement.
Giraffes can safely eat from spikey bushes like acacia trees due to their long, flexible tongues and thick saliva. These adaptations allow giraffes to strip leaves from spiky branches without causing harm to their mouths.
The tongue's prehensile nature enables them to hold leaves securely, while the saliva helps lubricate the spines, making it easier to swallow. This unique feeding behaviour is a key adaptation that allows giraffes to thrive in their natural habitat.
Reticulated giraffes can reach a height of up to 560 cm, a shoulder height of up to 330 cm and a weight of up to 900 kg.
Despite their extremely long neck, giraffes have only seven cervical vertebrae.
The small "horns" on the head of the giraffes are also striking. These are bone cones that are covered with skin. Male giraffes use these horns in intraspecific fights, which is why the upper edge of these bone cones is mostly rubbed bare.
Female giraffes, on the other hand, have dark tufts of hair on these horns.
A conclusione della visita in questa bellissima Chiesa (poco più grande di una Cappella) dove ogni centimetro quadrato delle pareti è splendidamente affrescato.
Stanco di un’ora in piedi e con l’artrosi cervicale messa a dura prova per le foto al soffitto, quella poltrona mi suggerì per un attimo l’idea di un comodo break.
Mi limitai scattare questa foto.
At the end of the visit to this beautiful church (slightly larger than a chapel) where every square inch of the walls is beautifully frescoed.
Tired of standing up for an hour and with cervical arthrosis put to the test by the photos on the ceiling, that armchair suggested to me for a moment the idea of a comfortable break.
I just took this picture.

😔 I write this with a heavy heart. The last couple of years have found me with a progressively degrading spinal column (4 hernias spread across my cervical, dorsal and lumbar regions) as well as hip and shoulder joint problems. I am to the point where I can no longer work and even photography is painful... although I still try.
If it were just me, I would never ask, but I have 2 young daughters that look to me for support, so I have to swallow my pride... If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as $5. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link.
Thank you. (╥﹏╥)
Assouplissement des cervicales ou je l'intrigue à ce point ? Depuis bientôt quatre semaines il a quitté le nid et son plumage se constitue progressivement.
Gisteren samen met Marcel Tuit een dag naar een vogelhut geweest. Geen optimale scherpte met iso 3200 en 1/80(en 420mm), toch een beeld waar ik blij mee was. Geen ruisreductie toegepast.
N.B. Voorlopig minder actief op Flickr ivm nieuwe cervicale herniaklachten.

Il est généralement haut placé dans les arbres, conséquence mes cervicales montrent vite leur limite, et c'est souvent douloureux.
Chassant principalement à l’affût, elle se nourrit essentiellement de micromammifères (musaraignes, campagnols), de petits oiseaux qu’elle attrape au vol, ainsi que d’insectes, batraciens et reptiles. Elle a la particularité de faire des provisions dans son nid. Elle est assez agressive et territoriale, et ses adultes évitent de se croiser.
La chouette pygmée peut tourner sa tête de façon très flexible grâce à 14 vertèbres cervicales, soit le double de l’humain, ce qui lui donne une capacité d’observation exceptionnelle !

Hunting mainly by ambush, it feeds primarily on small mammals (shrews, voles), small birds caught in flight, as well as insects, amphibians, and reptiles. It has the particular habit of storing food in its nest. It is quite aggressive and territorial, and adult birds avoid encountering each other.
The pygmy owl can turn its head very flexibly thanks to 14 cervical vertebrae, twice as many as humans, giving it exceptional observational ability.

L'une des caractéristiques physiques les plus saisissantes des chouettes est leur cou.
Leurs 14 vertèbres cervicales et la disposition de leurs muscles leur permettent de tourner la tête à 270 degrés (120 degrés chez l'homme).
Elles peuvent donc regarder derrière elles sans retourner leur corps… en revanche, leurs yeux ronds, de couleur noire, orange ou jaune, bougent peu latéralement.
Leur acuité visuelle est impressionnante et leur ouïe est aussi exceptionnelle et c'est notamment grâce à elle que les chouettes s'orientent la nuit 🤔

1h15 allongé sur le sable, à me déplacer en rampant vers les trois gravelots de la plage, je me suis enfin relevé, le dos et les épaules défoncés.
Et je ne vous parle pas des cervicales à redresser le cou pour effectuer les prises de vues... S'il y a un kiné parmi vous, n'hésitez pas.
j'vous emmène à Porto.
Je suis loin d'avoir fini de travailler sur les photos de la série, je la commence malgré tout...
Porto, je m'y suis promenée nez en l'air tout le temps.
Je n'ai pas encore de vision globale de ce que j'ai rapporté, puisque j'ai choisi de tester un nouvel appareil que je ne maîtrise pas encore, avec une seule optique (27 mm), ce qui a un peu restreint mes possibilités de cadrage. (quelques photos prises avec le canon aussi, mais mes cervicales n'étaient pas contentes...)
Le torticolis est un spasme des muscles du cou. Il peut être ponctuel, faire suite à un traumatisme ou être chronique, notamment en cas d'arthrose cervicale. La contracture du muscle du cou est le premier symptôme à apparaître associé à une douleur. Le traitement repose principalement sur la prise d'anti-douleurs et la mise au repos du cou.
Il s'agit de l'animal actuel le plus grand en hauteur, pouvant, grâce à la longueur de son cou, atteindre 5,50 m et même 5,80 m. Les girafes femelles mesurent, à l'âge adulte, entre 4,00 et 4,60 mètres de hauteur, soit 4,30 m en moyenne. Cependant, leur cou comporte le même nombre de vertèbres cervicales (7, d'environ 40 cm chacune) que la plupart des autres mammifères (à l'exception des lamantins et des paresseux) . Les girafes dorment très peu, moins de 2 heures par 24 heures, et plus volontiers le jour, pouvant ainsi continuer à surveiller l'horizon. En réalité, elles somnolent debout, les yeux grands ouverts et sur des périodes allant de 1 à 30 minutes d'affilée. Le poids d'une girafe varie entre 750 et 1 100 kg pour les femelles et peut aller jusqu'à 2 000 kg pour les mâles. Son pelage à dominante rousse est réticulé ou tacheté de jaune ; son ventre est blanc. Sa queue, mince et longue, terminée par un pinceau de poils noirs, mesure de 70 à 100 cm.
A re-process of an old photo, given I haven't uploaded anything in something like a month. I've been caught in the middle of exam period so bear with me! My final exam is advanced cranial and cervical anatomy on the 20th of November, after which I'm freeeeeeeeeee! Summer, here I come!
"A rousing round of applause for yet another fantastic concert by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra featuring James Ehnes playing the Prokofiev Violin Concerto, in addition to Stenhammar's luscious "Excelsior!" Overture and Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony"
He must have just caught it, cause it was still alive. He would normally sever the cervical spine using his tomial tooth, but I guess he hadn't got .around to it yet. Light was a bit challenging, but was actually lucky to get the eyes in the light. Bg is pacific ocean.
Jaguar noir, Parc des Félins de Lumigny (77)
"Le jaguar est un prédateur hors-normes. Son nom amérindien "yajuar" signifie "celui qui tue d'un bond". Il est aussi bien à l'aise sur terre, dans les arbres, que dans l'eau. Troisième plus gros félin derrière le tigre et le lion - il peut atteindre les 190 cm pour 110 kg - il peut chasser des proies faisant deux fois sa taille. D'ailleurs, sa morsure est la plus puissante des grands félins par rapport à sa taille. Il met donc à son menu mammifères (pécaris, tatous, singes, fourmiliers, petits félins, etc.), oiseaux, poissons et reptiles. Y compris des caïmans de plus de 70 kg. Sa méthode est très simple : planter ses crocs dans le cerveau ou dans la nuque, pour briser les vertèbres cervicales et ainsi paralyser la proie".

I believe in RFL and am proud to do my part to contribute to cancer research. The love of my life died of Cervical Cancer in 2018. Anything I can do to help is for her.
Restless and sleepless, she got out of bed and fell. She cracked her skull and fractured her first and second cervical vertebrae.
She was taken to the emergency room. She's still alive, for now...
Tres sesiones dedicadas a las agujas colinegras ( Limosa limosa), que ya tenía yo ganas de embrutecerme en la marisma a mi aire.
Este no es un limícola cualquiera, no se comporta igual que los pequeños correlimos, es muy recelosa pero también es bastante gregaria fuera de la época de cría. Lo primero va en contra, hay que trabajarla más, lo segundo puede ser una oportunidad para buenos acercamientos.
Si llegas de noche, antes del amanecer, ya tienes buena parte del trabajo hecho, cuando llegue la primera vendrá el resto, paciencia y muévete muy poco en la red, muy poco.
Si llegas al mediodía ( es mi caso ) paciencia y a sudar. Tienes que calcular un margen en el que la primera hora y media o dos horas será simplemente para estar y para que ellas no recelen. A esas alturas los correlimos ya te pasan casi por encima, pero ellas no. Después de ese tiempo, con algo de suerte, se irán acercando e incluso pueden llegar a ponerse delante tuya a acicalarse ( caso de la foto), eso sí, yo ya llevaba más de dos horas empapado debajo de la red. Si en el proceso te descubren, aprovecha lo que hayas hecho porque esa tarde ya se ha perdido para ellas, salvo que llegue un grupo nuevo y te caiga encima.
No se si las agujetas en las cervicales me darán para una cuarta sesión, veremos.
