Der afrikanische Goliath Reiher ist die größte heute noch lebende Reiherart mit einer Höhe von 135 bis 150 cm Zentimetern. Wirklich eine imposante Erscheinung!

Goliath is a character in the biblical Book of Samuel, described as a Philistine giant defeated by the young David in single combat.
size doesn't matter, it's HEART, COURAGE, and COMMITMENT that matters. Think bigger than the challenge, be bigger than the obstacle, and act as if it's impossible for you not to fail.
Never this thematic has been more actual !
( No religious comment Please..not the point here ! )

Héron goliath
Ardea goliath - Goliath Heron
Le héron goliath est le plus grand des échassiers. Il vit uniquement en Afrique et cette image est faite au Kenya dans les marais du lac Baringo.
In a crater of ash and smoke, the light fades from the beast's eyes, yet seem to remain open in their charred blackness - appraising the hero from a realm beyond death.

Le Héron goliath est le plus grand de tous les échassiers. On le rencontre en Afrique subsaharienne où il fréquente principalement les rivières et les lacs peu profonds, qu'ils soient d'eau salée ou qu'ils soient d'eau douce.
The Goliath Heron is the largest of all wading birds. It is found in sub-Saharan Africa where it mainly frequents rivers and shallow lakes, whether saltwater or freshwater.
Commonly known as the Carolina sphinx moth and the tobacco hawk moth (as adults) and the tobacco hornworm and the Goliath worm (as larvae), it is closely related to and often confused with the very similar tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata); the larvae of both feed on the foliage of various plants of the family Solanaceae.
Tomato hornworms have eight V-shaped white markings with no borders; Tobacco hornworms have seven white diagonal lines with a black border. Additionally, Tobacco hornworms have red horns, while tomato hornworms have dark blue or black horns.[2] A mnemonic to remember the markings is tobacco hornworms have straight white lines like cigarettes, while tomato hornworms have V-shaped markings (as in "vine-ripened" tomatoes).
