Llorar a chorros, llorar la digestión, llorar el sueño, llorar ante las puertas y los puertos, llorar de amabilidad y de amarillo.
Abrir las canillas, las compuertas del llanto.
Empaparnos el alma, la camiseta.
Inundar las veredas y los paseos y salvarnos, a nado, de nuestro llanto.
Asistir a los cursos de antropología, llorando.
Festejar los cumpleaños familiares, llorando.
Atravesar el África, llorando.
Llorar como un cacuy, como un cocodrilo... si es verdad que los cacuyes y los cocodrilos no dejan nunca de llorar.
Llorarlo todo, pero llorarlo bien.
Llorarlo con la nariz, con las rodillas.
Llorarlo por el ombligo, por la boca.
Llorar de amor, de hastío, de alegría.
Llorar de frac, de flato, de flacura.
Llorar improvisando, de memoria.
¡Llorar todo el insomnio y todo el día!

Daisy fleabane, like other fleabane wildflowers, derives its common name from the superstition that dried clusters of these plants could be used to rid a dwelling of fleas. Although it cannot do that, it is however used as a diuretic and medicine for digestive ailments.
Seen and photographed at Elizabeth Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto, California.
The Gamble Garden is a non-profit organization. The historic two-and-a-half acre property includes the Gamble estate, a rose garden, cutting garden, formal herb garden, demonstration bed, wisteria garden, and an allée. Edwin Gamble, son of Procter & Gamble Co. co-founder James Gamble, built the estate and garden in 1902. Elizabeth Gamble, one of his four children, spent most of her life here and bequeathed the property to the city with the stipulation that she and her brother George could live there throughout their lives. George died in 1972 and Elizabeth died in 1981 at the age of 92.
“Negro, Você está doente?”
Preguntó Ze al verme vomitar una y otra vez. Habíamos acampado luego de transitar el cuarto día del camino; era nuestra última noche en las montañas y la dispepsia me tenía a mal traer; mucha fiebre y vómitos; mi único deseo era abrigarme, encerrarme en la carpa y dormir muchas horas. Los cuatro mil metros de altura no me afectaron la capacidad aerórbica pero sí, la digestión, todo lo que ingería lo expulsaba.
Después de adentrarme en la tienda, mis compañeros salieron en busca de otra expedición, esta vez, cerca del camping; el objetivo era visitar una galería de hallazgos Inca contiguos a un centro arqueológico. Decidí quedarme a dormir, de lo contrario sería muy difícil emprender camino al otro día.
Al cabo de unos minutos veo el cierre de la carpa entreabierto, me incliné para cerrarlo completamente y observé un resplandor proveniente de las montañas, los rayos del sol se colaban entre los pesados nubarrones, giré mi cabeza para llegar su punto de fuga y de repente, se planta frente a mi esta imagen; probablemente el cuadro natural más puro y conmovedor que haya visto alguna vez.
Saqué decididamente la cámara de la mochila, le monté uno de los lentes, ajusté los controles y disparé. Fueron diez minutos sin fiebre, sin malestar estomacal, sin deficiencias físicas; diez minutos con mi alma en otro lugar; en algún lugar sobre el arco iris.

The Red Panda, Firefox, Fire Cat, or Lesser Panda , "or Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat"), is a mostly herbivorous mammal, specialized as a bamboo feeder. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat (40 - 60 cm long, 3 - 6 kg weight). The Red Panda is endemic to the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal, and Burma. Red Panda is the state animal in the Indian state of Sikkim. It is also the mascot of the Darjeeling international festivals. There is an estimated population of fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. Their population continues to decline due to habitat fragmentation.
Distribution ~ Pandas are native to southeastern Asia, along a crescent formed by the Himalaya Mountain foothills from western Nepal, southern Tibet, Bhutan, and Northeast India, then east into the highlands of Burma (or Myanmar), the Gongshan Mountains of Yunnan province in China, and the Hengduan Mountains of Sichuan province in China. The latter area is thought to have been a refuge for Red Pandas, as well as many other animals, during the last (Pleistocene) period of glaciation. The gorge of the Brahmaputra River, as it loops around the eastern end of the Himalayas, is considered a natural division between the two subspecies, although some suggest the A. f. fulgens range extends more eastwardly into Yunnan China. Red pandas used to have a broader distribution farther northeast into China and farther southwest into India.
Red Pandas inhabit climates of moderate temperature (10-25 °C) with little annual fluctuation and prefer forested mountainous areas at elevations of 1,800-4,800 m,or 5000-15,700 ft, particularly temperate deciduous-coniferous forests with an understory of rhododendron and, of course, bamboo. They share habitat with another bamboo specialist, the Giant Panda, in China (Wolong Preserve). Red Pandas are cavity nesters, using rock dens and old hollow trees. They often spend the day drooped over a branch high in the trees, feeding more actively at dawn and dusk.
Physical characteristics ~ The Red Panda is quite long: 79-120 cm, or 31 to 47 in (including the tail length of 30 to 60 cm/12 to 24 in). Males weigh 4.5 to 6.2 kg (10 to 14 lb); females 3 to 4.5 kg (6 to 10 lb). The Red Panda is specialized as a bamboo feeder, with long and soft reddish-brown fur on upper parts, blackish fur on lower parts, light face with tear markings and robust cranial-dental features. The light face has white badges similar to those of a raccoon, but each individual can have distinctive markings. Its roundish head has medium-sized upright ears, a black nose, and very dark eyes: almost pitch black. Its long bushy tail with six alternating yellowish red transverse ocher rings provides balance and excellent camouflage against its habitat of moss- and lichen-covered trees. The legs are black, short and bear-like with thick fur on the soles of the paws hiding scent glands and serving as thermal insulation on snow-covered or ice surfaces. The Red Panda is specialized as a bamboo feeder with strong, curved and sharp semi-retractile claws standing inward for firm grasping to facilitate substantial movement on narrow tree branches and seizing leaves and fruit. Like the Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), it has a “false thumb” that really is an extension of the wrist bone.
Behavior ~ Red Pandas are crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk) and live in the slopes of the south of the Himalayas and the mountainous forests of the southwest of China, at altitudes of up to 4,800 meters, and generally do not venture below 1,800 meters. They are sedentary during the day resting in the branches of trees and in tree hollows and increase their activity only in the late afternoon and/or early evening hours. They are very heat sensitive with an optimal “well-being” temperature between 17 and 25°C, and cannot tolerate temperatures over 25 °C at all. As a result, Red Pandas sleep during the hot noontime in the shady crowns of treetops, often lying stretched out on forked branches or rolled up in tree caves with their tail covering their face.
Red Pandas are very skillful and acrobatic animals that live predominantly in trees. They live in territories, frequently alone, and only rarely live in pairs or in groups of families. They are very quiet except for some twittering and whistling communication sounds. They search for food at night, running along the ground or through the trees with speed and agility and, after finding food, use their front paws to place the food into their mouths. Red pandas drink by plunging their paw into the water and licking their paws. Predators of Red Pandas are snow leopards (Uncia uncia), martens (Mustelidae) and humans. The species has also faced a great deal of human-induced habitat destruction.
Red Pandas begin their daily activity with a ritual washing of their fur by licking their front paws and massaging their back, stomach and sides. They also scrub their back and belly along the sides of trees or a rock. They then patrol their territory, marking it with a weak musk-smelling secretion from their anal gland and with their urine.
If a Red Panda feels threatened or senses danger, it will often try to scamper up into an inaccessible rock column or a tree. If they can no longer flee, they stand up on their hind legs, which makes them appear somewhat more daunting and allows them the possibility of using the razor-sharp claws on their front paws, which can inflict substantial wounds. Red Pandas are friendly, but are not helpless, and will resist if they feel threatened.
Diet ~ Red Panda eats mostly bamboo. Like the Giant Panda, it cannot digest cellulose, so it must consume a large volume of bamboo to survive. Its diet consists of about two-thirds bamboo, but they also eat berries, fruit, mushrooms, roots, acorns, lichen, grasses, and they are known to supplement their diet with young birds, fish, eggs, small rodents, and insects on occasion. In captivity, however, they will readily eat meat. Red Pandas are excellent climbers and forage largely in trees. The Red Panda does little more than eat and sleep due to its low-calorie diet. Bamboo shoots are more easily digested than leaves and exhibited the highest digestibility in the summer and autumn, intermediate in the spring, and low in the winter. These variations correlate with the nutrient contents in the bamboo. The Red Panda poorly processes bamboo, especially the cellulose and cell wall components. This implies that microbial digestion plays only a minor role in its digestive strategy. The transit of bamboo through the red panda gut is very rapid (~2–4 hours). In order to survive on this poor-quality diet, the Red Panda has to select high-quality sections of the bamboo plant such as the tender leaves and shoots in large quantities (over 1.5 kg {3 lbs} of fresh leaves and 4 kg {9 lbs} of fresh shoots daily) that pass through the digestive tract fairly rapidly so as to maximize nutrient intake (Wei et al., 1999).

Ambas igualmente peligrosas, pero en este caso el araña tuvo las de ganar, y levanta al avispa como un trofeo, mientras se alimenta de ella.
La cola del avispa ya se ve hueca, es que el araña ha inyectado en ella sus enzimas digestivas y luego ha succionado el caldo resultante.
Las arañas, no tienen mandíbulas, solo quelíceros y por ende no pueden devorar ningún alimento sólido. Su técnica alimentaria consiste en inyectar las enzimas que hacen la digestión al interior del animal. Estas actúan como un veneno, ya que literalmente hacen líquido el interior para que el araña pueda beber el caldo nutritivo resultante.
Una de las variantes de la vida, tan diversa, tan creativa, y por sobre todo...tan sorprendente.

Burgos province is famous in gastronomy for:
Queso de Burgos, a white cheese which is soft and unctuous (because it is made with whey). Although originally made with sheep's milk, now cow's milk or mixtures are more common. Each comarca (rural district) produces a minor variation, and the major dairies produce an industrial product that is acceptable for people with sensitive digestion.
Burgos is blessed with a moderate climate and this fresh cheese was able to be conserved there without the need for curing of more than 10 days. With the improvement of aseptic industrial production processes this can be extended to about 30 days at a cool 6 °C. Its production reaches 35,000 tons annually.
Morcilla de Burgos, a pig's-blood sausage (black pudding), is a staple country food famous across the Iberian peninsula. Spiced with onions and herbs its most noticeable content is rice (often mistaken for fat) which makes it one of the lightest and healthiest products of its kind. Oral tradition says that it must be "salty, smooth and piquant" (see Spanish pages Burgos (desambiguación) (es) for details). As with the Queso de Burgos, several comarcas or towns in the province (Cardeñadijo, Sotopalacios, Aranda de Duero, Briviesca, Covarrubias, Villarcayo, Trespaderne, Miranda de Ebro...) made their own morcillas, with minor variations between them.
Even though Burgos is not on a D.O. wine is a fundamental piece in local gastronomy thanks to nearby wine cellars from Ribera de Duero, Rioja and Arlanza D.O.

Algunos ciliados son unos voraces consumidores de algas y entre ellos son muy llamativos los que como Nassula o Chilodonella presentan una "faringe" formada por una serie de varillas paralelas como si se tratase de una canasta. Sirviéndose de esta estructura los ciliados succionan agua como si se tratase de una aspiradora y de este modo consiguen su alimento, constituido fundamentalmente por diatomeas. La imagen muestra un ciliado próximo a Chilodonella -del grupo Phyllopharyngea- en cuyo interior se aprecian dos vacuolas, una de ellas, la más pequeña, con una diatomea y la otra, mayor con varias, en pleno proceso de digestión.

The stinging Sea Nettle Jellyfish is a species of jellyfish occurring particularly in Atlantic estuaries. It is a bell-shaped invertebrate, usually semi-transparent and with small, white dots and reddish-brown stripes; Sea nettles without stripes have a bell that appears white or opaque. While the sting is not particularly harmful, it can cause moderate discomfort to any individual stung. The sting can be effectively neutralized by misting vinegar over the affected area. This keeps unfired nematocysts from firing and adding to the discomfort.
This jellyfish is radially symmetrical, marine, and carnivorous. Its mouth is located at the center of one end of the body, which opens to a gastrovascular cavity that is used for digestion. It has tentacles that surround the mouth to capture food. Nettles have no excretory or respiratory organs. Each sea nettle is free-swimming and can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Stinging sea nettles are carnivorous. They generally feed on zooplankton, ctenophores, other jellies, and sometimes crustaceans. Nettles immobilize and obtain their prey using their stinging tentacles. After that, the prey is transported to the gastrovascular cavity where it is subsequently digested. Nettles also eat young minnows, bay anchovy eggs, worms, and mosquito larvae.

La suerte hizo posible capturar a esta araña en el momento en que, después de inmovilizar y dar muerte a su presa, inicia el proceso de su digestión externa, en el que segrega unas enzimas digestivas que introduce en su vientre para que, una vez éstas hayan actuado sobre el interior de la presa reduciéndolo a líquido, solo le reste absorber sus nutrientes.

Girar per boschi porta ad incontri a volte mozzafiato, nel senso letterale: che lasciano senza parole.
Magari si prova anche ad articolare qualcosa con i compagni di viaggio; solo la lenta digestione consente l'assimilazione dell'incontro.
L'iperbole tecnologica a cui siamo venduti consente di catturare e condividere l'immagine, cioè l'anima, di ciò che si vede
A costo di vendermi al 'nemico del genere umano', si sarebbe detto qualche tempo fa, presento qui una radice, probabilmente di faggio.
Non si fatica a scorgere il selvatico scultore all'opera nel rappresentare un corpo umano; e non può non colpire la particolare grazia nel definire i fianchi, l'inguine, il deliquio del corpo abbandonato ai sensi.
La mente si ricollega a sensazioni simili; corre veloce alla chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria, in via XX settembre a Roma, dove ho visto l'estasi di Santa Teresa d'Avila di Bernini, l'opera che l'autore ha definito essere stata 'la più bell'opera che uscisse dalla sua mano'.
Estasi.
Il collegamento mistico del corpo alla gioia.
Per cercar senso va citato il passo dell'autobiografia di Santa Teresa d'Avila nel descrivere la propria:
"Un giorno mi apparve un angelo
bello oltre ogni misura.
Vidi nella sua mano una lunga lancia
alla cui estremità sembrava esserci una punta di fuoco.
Questa parve colpirmi più volte nel cuore,
tanto da penetrare dentro di me.
II dolore era così reale che gemetti più volte ad alta voce,
però era tanto dolce
che non potevo desiderare di esserne liberata.
Nessuna gioia terrena può dare un simile appagamento.
Quando l'angelo estrasse la sua lancia,
rimasi con un grande amore per Dio."
Il paragone con qualcosa di meno prosaico dell'estasi mistica appare chiaro.
E' proprio a questo punto che si differenziano le letture.
Interpretare l'estasi mistica con 'nulla di più' dell'esperienza più o meno diretta dell'atto sessuale è semplicistico e non rende giustizia nè alla (fantastica, andatela a vedere; quella donna 'gode') scultura nè al passo dell'autobiografia.
Allo stesso modo interpretare questo stato della coscienza come qualcosa di più elevato della materialità animale è, a mio avviso, ugualmente fuorviante e ci porta verso le litanie adoranti vuote di contenuto.
Vedo entrambi i piani come il riflesso del Mistero che ci tiene in vita; non importa se si manifesti come selvatica animalità o estatica visione mistica: la radice (!) è la stessa.
Non ci va molto a buttarsi un poco oltre, a disossare queste esperienze dall'elemento tempo ed estrarne un senso che vada oltre al delimitato momento preciso dell'estasi o dell'atto sessuale, per espandersi in continuità per tutto il tempo del nostro vivere ed immergerci nel sacro quotidiano, nel trovare queste esperienze nella forma delle pagnotte, nel sorriso del formaggiaio o nel corpo caro delle persone vicine.
Oppure, in una radice trovata su un sentiero passeggiando con un amico.
The discovery of insulin was one of the most dramatic and important milestones in medicine - a Nobel Prize-winning moment in science.
Witnesses to the first people ever to be treated with insulin saw "one of the genuine miracles of modern medicine," says the author of a book charting its discovery.
Starved and sometimes comatose patients with diabetes would return to life after receiving insulin.
The discovery of insulin did not come out of the blue; it was made on the back of a growing understanding of diabetes mellitus during the nineteenth century.
Image of the pancreas.
Experiments involving the pancreas were key to the discovery of insulin. The beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin were discovered in 1869. Diabetes itself had been understood by its symptoms as far back as the 1600s - when it was described as the "pissing evile" - and the urination and thirst associated with it had been recognized thousands of years before.
A feared and usually deadly disease, doctors in the nineteenth century knew that sugar worsened diabetes and that limited help could be given by dietary restriction of sugar. But if that helped, it also caused death from starvation.
Scientists observed the damaged pancreases of people who died with diabetes. In 1869, a German medical student found clusters of cells in the pancreas that would go on to be named after him.
Paul Langerhans had discovered the beta cells that produce insulin.
Other work in animals then showed that carbohydrate metabolism was impossible once the pancreas was removed - the amount of sugar in the blood and urine rose sharply, and death from diabetes soon followed.
In 1889, Oscar Minkowski and Joseph von Mering removed a dog's pancreas to study its effects on digestion. They found sugar in the dog's urine after flies were noticed feeding off it. In humans, doctors would once have diagnosed the condition by tasting the urine.
But as for the discovery of the "active ingredient" of the pancreas, numerous scientists followed the work of Minkowski and von Mering in their attempts to extract it.
Esta actividad, que organiza el Instituto de Procesos Sostenibles, se celebra en la sala Cardenal Mendoza del Palacio de Congresos Conde Ansúrez, reune a los mayores expertos mundiales dedicados a la digestión anaeróbica, proceso en el cual microorganismos descomponen material biodegradable en ausencia de oxígeno, y cuyas aplicaciones son tan variadas como pueden ser, entre otras, la obtención de biogás (combustible) a partir de las aguas residuales
This freshly caught fly, who was still furiously struggling, was stuck to the mucilage of the carnivorous sundew flower that will go on to consume it. This tells how it is done:
"Entrapment Mechanism
Glandular tentacles with sticky secretions covering their laminae, characterize the sundews.
The trapping mechanism uses the stalked glands secreting the sweet mucilage that serves the triple function of attracting the insect, ensnaring them and providing the enzymes to aid the digestion process. The sessile glands help to absorb the broken down nutrients.
The sweet secretions of the peduncular glands attract small prey that includes insects. Immediately on contact, the sticky mucilage entraps the prey and prevents its progress or escape. Finally, either exhaustion or asphyxiation causes the death of the prey in about 15 minutes as their spiracles clog on the mucilage.
Digestion
The enzymes protease, phosphatase, peroxidase and esterase, secreted by the plant dissolve the insect and liberate the nutrient soup that the leaf surfaces then absorb to help promote the plant growth."
Llorar a lágrima viva, llorar a chorros. Llorar la digestión, llorar el sueño, llorar ante las puertas y los puertos. Llorar de amabilidad y de amarillo... empaparnos el alma, la camiseta. Inundar las veredas y los paseos... atravezar el África llorando... Llorarlo todo pero llorarlo bien. Llorarlo con las narices y con las rodillas, llorarlo por el hombligo, por la boca... Llorar improvisando, de memoria, de insomnio y todo el día.

La dieta de de la curruca capirotada
La gran movilidad de las aves y su elevada temperatura corporal les lleva a un fuerte consumo de alimentos. Cuanto más pequeña es el ave, más importante es para ella mantener la reserva de calor. Por lo tanto, es más trascendental su necesidad alimenticia. Si una rapaz necesita comer por término medio un 25% de su peso para realizar sus funciones metabólicas, algunos pájaros pequeños necesitan casi su peso en alimento para garantizar su supervivencia. Por consiguiente, si el régimen alimenticio es el factor más importante en todas las especies, cuanto más variada sea su dieta más
garantías tienen de poder nutrirse, al disponer así de otras alternativas en el caso de que falle alguna de las fuentes de comida.
Hoy en día, la mayoría de las especies con una alimentación muy especializada se encuentran en claro declive, como puede ser el caso de nuestras carroñeras.
Nuestra protagonista de hoy, la curruca capirotada (Sylvia atricapilla) se ha adaptado a una dieta variada para garantizarse alimento durante todo el año. En la época reproductora se alimenta principalmente de insectos y larvas, especialmente en el periodo de ceba a los polluelos. Para ello su afilado pico el proporciona una perfecta herramienta. El resto del año consume semillas, bayas, frutas blandas y carnosas, aunque tampoco le desagrada la hierba, si bien no es un pájaro típico de suelo. Es más, raramente se le ve en él. Cuando baja, se desplaza a saltitos cortos.
Antes de sus desplazamientos migratorios, la dieta de la curruca capirotada pasa a ser casi exclusivamente de fruta y bayas porque, por su contenido en azúcar, le es muy fácil convertirla en reserva energética de grasa. Para atraparlas, su pico se convierte en unas pinzas de alta precisión. Una vez en el buche, la digestión de este tipo de alimento es muy rápida en su organismo, no pasando de los diez minutos.
Esta curruca está presente en todo Aragón y, aunque tenemos algunas poblaciones que permanecen con nosotros todo el año, es numeroso el grupo de las que nos visitan procedentes de países más fríos que el nuestro. Aparece ampliamente distribuida, pudiéndose encontrar en cualquier tipo de arboleda, sotos, páramos e incluso en los parques y jardines de los centros urbanos.
POR EL COLOR DE LA BOINA
El mejor rasgo para diferenciar a ambos miembros de la pareja es la observación del color de su capirote o ‘boina’, un elemento de su fisonomía que es de color negro en el macho y rojizo lumbroso en la hembra. El resto del cuerpo es de tonalidad apagada, casi grisácea, aunque la hembra tiende a ser más a pardusca. Es la única curruca que no posee blanco en la cola. La hembra de este pequeño pájaro, de escasos 14 centímetros, construye su nido en un lugar umbrío y a baja altura, a base de hierba seca y tapizado de fibras y pelos. Ambos adultos incubarán durante 15 días a los 5 huevos de la que consta la nidada. Este sílvido está

Llorar a lágrima viva.
Llorar a chorros.
Llorar la digestión.
Llorar el sueño.
Llorar ante las puertas y los puertos.
Llorar de amabilidad y de amarillo.
Abrir las canillas,
las compuertas del llanto.
Empaparnos el alma, la camiseta.
Inundar las veredas y los paseos,
y salvarnos, a nado, de nuestro llanto.
Asistir a los cursos de antropología, llorando.
Festejar los cumpleaños familiares, llorando.
Atravesar el África, llorando.
Llorar como un cacuy, como un cocodrilo...
si es verdad que los cacuíes y los cocodrilos
no dejan nunca de llorar.
Llorarlo todo, pero llorarlo bien.
Llorarlo con la nariz, con las rodillas.
Llorarlo por el ombligo, por la boca.
Llorar de amor, de hastío, de alegría.
Llorar de frac, de flato, de flacura.
Llorar improvisando, de memoria.
¡Llorar todo el insomnio y todo el día!

Papaya Health Benefits:
* Papaya contains the digestive enzyme papain and therefore valuable for aiding digestion.
* The unique protein-digesting enzymes; papain and chymopapain have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns in addition to helping in digestion of proteins. The antioxidant nutrients found in papaya, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, are also very good at reducing inflammation.
* The ripe fruit is easily digestible and prevents constipation.
* Case studies indicate that this food taken alone for two or three days has a highly beneficial tonic effect upon the stomach and intestines.
* The juice of the papaya aids in relieving infections of the colon and has a tendency to break down pus and mucus reached by the juice.
* May help prevent cancer in organs and glands with epithelial tissue (ripe papaya). Papaya’s fiber is able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells. In addition, papaya’s folate, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have each been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer
* Prevents nausea (includes morning sickness and motion sickness)
* The seeds are antihelmintic, for expelling worms and they are given with honey. Chew and swallow two teaspoonfuls of seeds after each principal meal (three times a day).
* Papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Papayas are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as a good source of vitamin E and vitamin A (through their concentration of pro-vitamin A carotenoid phytonutrients), three very powerful antioxidants.
* Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels.
Red-backed Poison Frog (Ranitomeya reticulatus or Dendrobates reticaltus), Rio Napo rainforest area, Amazonian rainforest area, Loreto, Amazonia, Peru
It is the second-most toxic poison frog in the Ranitomeya genus, however, compared to other poison frogs it is moderately toxic. But the bright and characteristic colors and patterns alert possible predators: Do not touch me!
It is an arboreal and diurnal living frog, only 12-14 mm of length. The poison is not produced by the frogs themselves but for example from toxic fire ants and other insects which they feed on.
As you may know I use reduced flash and a paper tissue before the flash with frogs and almost no direct shot on the frog. So that's the reason why depth-of-field is not exactly what I am used to reach and remember: frogs are usually fast moving and following the frogs in the jungle is sometimes tricky: You are always on the risk to touch or sit or knee in ants, and that is definitely not very funny!!
Interesting facts: In a previous post I asked the question why some of the frogs in the neotropical rainforest are dependent on water but are not living directly in the water, as these little jewels will not do. Open water is too dangerous for the frogs. there are too many predators like fishes and dragonfly larvae wich will feed on the frogs and also tadpoles. So they choose another strategy for survival. Some species lay their eggs on leaves above the water surface to avoid direct killing by predators but they have still enough humidity not do dry out. Remember: Neotropical frogs have a sophisticated and very intensive and individual parental care. They do not produce masses of eggs and tadpoles to survive like most of the frogs do it out of the rainforest.
Another reason for the developing outside the water is the fact, that natural water resources are almost de-ionisied meaning there are no minerals and ions in it. Therefore there is an intense osmotic pressure on organism without a water-proof surface like frogs. The process of dilution will lead to an unilateral gradient with entrance of water in the organism and its cells and will destroy the tissues. Poison frogs and their eggs do not have a protection against this osmotic dilution. Some species solve this problem with establishing a system of eggs within a layer of spume/foam. Remember the last time when you have made egg white stiff? Some frogs do this with their legs. The result is a "stiffy" spume around the eggs and they are even protected against dehydration.
The skin of frogs is water-permeable, so they need water, but they do not live directly in the water or at the edges of little ponds. There are some African frogs which will change everyday their dried skin. That needs a lot of protein to rebuild this skin. In the neotropics there is not enough food available for doing this. Poison frog has choosen another way of protection. Humidity means constant challenge by bacteria and fungi to the thin frog's skin. To avoid infection and stabilize the skin they exude ... poison! The digestion process of these toxin by liver and kidney would be an extremely stress for these little frogs. Exuding by skin is much easier and they have even developped an effective protection mechanism against bacterial and fungal infection, detoxification of nutritiants, dehydration and several predators! This stretegy is so effective that they are almost not be hunted (however there are some snakes which were some kind of immune against the poison), they are allowed to live also diurnal and must not hide themselves due to the warning colors. And still: there are no masses of these frogs in the rainforest as it might be expected after installation of this sophisticated protection mechanism. The reason is again as I previously pointed out. There is not much food resources available.
Digestion is carried out internally and externally. Spiders secrete digestive fluids into their prey from a series of ducts in their chelicerae (fangs). These digestive fluids dissolve the prey's internal tissues, then the spider feeds by sucking the partially digested fluids out. Spiders consume only liquid foods. Many spiders will store prey temporarily. Web weaving spiders that make a shroud of silk to quiet their envenomed prey's death struggles (such as Redbacks) will generally leave them in these shrouds to be consumed at their leisure.

Días en lo que desearías tener un sistema digestivo como las vacas, para poder procesar y digerir toda lo que te has tragado y terminar soltándolo en cantidades industriales de mierda pura.
Gracias.
