BERIBADH, ASHULIA, DHAKA.
This is the place which changes season by season. At the end of the winter season it changes like this picture. All brick mills become active. Most of them don't maintain Environmental safety. And also huge amount of sands are collected from the rivers here every year. So pollution is occurring by the way. Besides this you can also find out that this place is very harvesting area. People are cultivating many kinds of crops and vegetables down here.
I went to the cinema 2day and i finally got to watch Resident Evil Extinction. OMG it was sooooo cool. Milla is just awesome. This is a drawing I did a few months back. I love her outfit in this movie.
The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

Extiction Rebellion's protest in London, I was cheering for these guys because of the UK governments relaxed approach to climate change, the protesters were peaceful and blocked some of the most polluting areas in London including Oxford Street (which had been found to be one of the most polluting areas in the country) for 7 days. One thing we need to realise is that there is no Planet B this is our only living planet, kids even started going on strike on Friday's saying it was their future being put at risk by the current government whom have failed to declare a climate emergency unlike the opposition party and parliament itself. The UK is the first country to declare a climate emergency. I hope to see other countries like france do the same after recently hitting temps of 40°c.

San Diego Zoo - San Diego, California - Ramil the Snow Leopard was born at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo At Burnet Park in Syracuse, New York on 6/14/12 to Zena (Mom) and Senge (Dad). He moved to the San Diego Zoo in October 2014. His father still lives at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. His mother passed away in the Spring 2016. Due to pain related to glaucoma, Ramil underwent surgery in February 2017 to remove his left eye, which gave him a renewed spring in his snowshoed step.
His brother/littermate, Bajen, lives at the Los Angeles Zoo in Los Angeles, California.
He also has a younger brother, Asa, who was born on 7/9/14 by C-section after an ultrasound revealed no heartbeat. He was born unresponsive, but veterinarians from Cornell University worked to revive him. Asa now lives at the Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Extinction Rebellion Berlin, 15. April 2019
Extinction Rebellion hat in Berlin zum Auftakt der weltweiten Extinction Rebellion Week mit rund 300 Menschen die Oberbaumbrücke blockiert, nach einer Kundgebung an der Jannowitzbrücke am 15. April 2019. Die Brücken-Besetzung war ein Akt zivilen Ungehorsams, den die Polizei nicht verhindern konnte. Der gesamte Verkehr über die Oberbaumbrücke war über Stunden blockiert.
Extinction Rebellion ist eine gewaltfreie, demokratische und radikale Klimabewegung, die vor fünf Monaten in London, UK entstanden ist und dauerhaft fortgeführt werden soll. Die Exctinction Rebellion fordert den Klimanotstand auszurufen und läuft seit dem 15. April in mehr als 80 Städten und mindestens 33 Ländern. Deutschlandweit gibt es beriets über 30 Ortsgruppen.
Die Bewegung hat drei Forderungen: 1. Politische Transparenz über die „tödliche Bedrohung durch die ökologische Krise, 2. Eine Senkung des Ausstoßes der Treibhausgase auf Null bis 2025, 3. Die Einrichtung eines Bürger*innen-Rates zur unabhängigen Kontrolle entsprechender umweltschützender staatlicher Handlungen, um das 1,5-Grad-Ziel zu erreichen und das Massenaussterben beenden.

Submitted for World Anthotype Day 2023
The golden toad (Incilius periglenes) was last sighted in its Costa Rican habitat in 1989, where a lone male was observed calling in vain for a mate. Likely the last of his kind, he had also been heard calling the prior year (1988), which marked a cataclysmic population decline from approximately 1,500 individuals spotted in 1987.
Hypothesized cause(s) of extinction include: limited range, climate change, pollution, chytridiomycosis (an introduced fungal disease).
Image Details: Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) dye was extracted from chopped fresh roots simmered in a distilled water/ethanol solution (with a pinch of Glauber's salt). The dye was brushed onto Arches HP 140lb watercolor paper in several coats, and the image was exposed for 2-3 days in full summer sunlight in Austin, TX. The final anthotype was coated with Renaissance Wax and gently polished with a microfiber cloth.
Another boat in the streets, this time outside the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand. Along with the equipment for a few nights stay in Waterloo.
