Before you scroll away from this feisty beauty, be assured that this is no ordinary cat. This is a Scottish Wildcat (aka the Highland Tiger!) and this shot was taken mid hiss. This breed of cat is absolutely feral and doesnt tolerate patting, stroking or general nearness to him. He's called McTavish and whilst I respectfully keep my distance, I admire him from afar...

Well,maybe not.Located on 10th St and Waverly Place The Three Lives and Company bookshop may live to see a third life,but just not at this location.The building the quaint,little shop is found in is up for sale and the owners have opted not to renew Three Lives' lease.The company may have to look for a new home if they can't work out a deal with the building's new owner.Three Lives moved to the Waverly Place location in 1983,thirty-three years ago.Moving again could prove to be challenging this time around with way the real estate market has changed in the area in recent years.www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160615/west-village/three-live...
Extinction de masse : les insectes disparaissent à une vitesse alarmante...!!!
Une étude publiée dans la revue Biological Conservation alerte sur l’état de la faune entomologique : plus de 30 % des espèces d’insectes sont menacées d’extinction.
La diminution des moucherons, bourdons, papillons, etc. sur les pare-brises en Europe n’est pas une légende!
Quantifiée, elle grimpe jusqu’à plus de 80 % dans certaines régions!
Face à un taux de mortalité huit fois plus rapide que celui des mammifères, des oiseaux ou des reptiles, les chercheurs appellent à repenser les pratiques agricoles actuelles pour espérer inverser la tendance.
Un grand merci à tous pour vos visites, vos commentaires, et vos favoris aussi, qui sont toujours très appréciés.

Mass extinction: Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate
A study published in the journal Biological Conservation warns of the state of entomological fauna: more than 30% of insect species are threatened with extinction.
The decrease in midges, bumblebees, butterflies, etc. on windshields in Europe is no legend!
Quantified, it climbs to more than 80% in some regions!
Faced with a mortality rate eight times faster than that of mammals, birds or reptiles, researchers are calling for a rethink of current agricultural practices in the hope of reversing the trend.

WONDERFUL FACTS - How many bird species are endangered ...
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) at least 12% of the world's bird species are threatened with extinction and an additional 8% are near threatened ...
Number of bird species is between 9,800 and 10,400 depending on the taxonomic classification methods 🌼

Das Bienensterben geht weiter. Denke nun bitte niemand, es habe etwas mit dem Menschen und seinen wohldurchdachten Aktivitäten zu tun. Ich war froh, als ich diese summende Sammlerin fand.
If we don't counteract, the last bees will soon disappear.

A Tule Elk bull, cow and youngster on a foggy morning near the San Luis Reservoir in California.
From the National Park Service:
" The tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) is one of two subspecies of elk native to California. Its numbers were severely reduced in the mid-1800s, primarily due to uncontrolled market hunting and displacement by cattle. By some accounts, fewer than thirty remained in a single herd near Bakersfield in the mid-1870s. A conservation minded cattle rancher named Henry Miller had the foresight to preserve this last isolated group discovered on his ranch in 1874. Until this discovery, tule elk were thought to be extinct. All of the estimated 5,700 tule elk present in twenty-two herds across California (as of 2020) were derived from this small remnant herd, thanks to his initial efforts."
Thanks Henry!
NS TripleCrown Roadrailer 256 heads into downtown Lafayette, Indiana on the former Wabash. With the operating costs, age, and continued used of largely proprietary parts to service the aging trailers on these trains, Ford has decided to officially end the last two remaining Roadrailers on July 1st, 2023, a true end of an era for this region. But at the end of the day, it’s also really hard to believe these trains managed to last for as long as they did (5/9/23).
I don't understand why people do not understand the urgency and gravity of us facing extinction.
Extinction.

Long after man has gone the Earth will rise up and take back the Land and make it beautiful once more.
These are the ruins of the barracks used by the slate quarry workers.
Anyhow I'm hoping to outlive Extinction Rebellion. The way they are going they are going to kill themselves off.

The Pantanal
Brazil
South America
Formerly widespread in gallery forest or woodland, now most numerous in the Pantanal. Elsewhere very rare or absent. They are the longest in length of the macaws. Flocks can be as large as 40-50 birds. Many landowners offer protection to these birds helping to stabilize the population.
Of the 145 species of parrot in Central and South America, 45 are in danger of extinction. All 18 species of macaws are threatened. The primary causes are habitat loss and heavy exploitation for the pet trade.
Hyacinth macaws brought $5,000 to $10,000 each in the pet trade as of 1988. This high price fosters a dangerous level of poaching and smuggling. Data and anecdotal evidence suggests that as many as 10,000 Hyacinth macaws were taken from the wild during the 1980s.

Facing extinction. Of everything going on in the world - this is the subject that truly astonishes me that we are not talking about how we are facing extinction.

March 20th is World Frog Day, which was created in 2009 to increase awareness of the plight of threatened frog species around the world. All amphibians, including frogs, are important components of the global ecosystem, as indicators of environmental health and contributors to human health. More than one third of them are currently threatened with extinction. Addressing the amphibian extinction crisis represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity.
We know there are at least 7,400 species of frogs (AmphibiaWeb), but sadly, we also know that at least 2,000 (28%) of these are threatened with extinction (IUCN Red List). The actual number of threatened species is no doubt considerably higher, because around 1,000 species (14%) have not yet been assessed for their threat categories, and for another 1,000 (14%) of them, so little is known about their status in the wild that they cannot be accurately assessed.
Many things are causing frog populations around the world to decline, and in fact, at least 35 species that we know of have gone extinct in recent times. Habitat loss and destruction is one of the worst problems, not only for frogs, but for many other species of animals and plants.
Many human activities contribute to habitat destruction and the decline of amphibians, including water pollution, the introduction of non-native species, climate change, agriculture, and urban development. Diseases, especially chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the chytrid fungus, are also having a massive effect on frogs, many of which are already under stress from the threats mentioned above. - Wikipedia

Wikipedia - Dyscophus antongilii, the Madagascar tomato frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.
They breed in the rainy season and are nocturnal. They tend to eat small insects and invertebrates. They are also on the endangered species list. Their lifespan is 6 to 8 years.
When threatened, a tomato frog puffs up its body. When a predator grabs a tomato frog in its mouth, the frog's skin secretes a thick substance that gums up the predator's eyes and mouth, causing the predator to release the frog to free up its eyes.
Tomato frogs will reach sexual maturity in 9–14 months. Females are larger than males and can reach 4 inches in length. Males can reach 2 to 3 inches in length.
