We visited this unique landscape with mud volcanoes in Buzau Mts., Romania. This mud pit was spitting from time to time.
Here are some more details about this place:
"The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located in the Berca commune in the Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 meters-deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure, resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
The reservation is unique in Romania. The mud volcanoes create a strange lunar landscape, due to the absence of vegetation around the cones. Vegetation is scarce because the soil is very salty, an environmental condition in which few plants can survive." (Wikipedia)
Mud rescue is one of the most aerobic tasks within the emergency services - no need for a jym session after this training day
It is called Grass Mud Horse and lives in Mahler Gobi. Gobi is lack of grass, so Grass Mud Horse is chiefly feed on mixture of grass and mud. And they got the name Grass Mud Horse for the food they eat. And what is special is they like living closed to the human living areas. So this animal likes human so much… I think.
草泥马，生长在荒茫而美丽的马勒戈壁上，又叫戈壁草泥马。草泥马生命力顽强，所处地区草料很少，所以此马经常草泥混合食用，故得称“草泥马”。草泥马的主食是卧（沃）草。而此草一般生长在人类的聚集点附近。所以草泥马一生都是于人类相依为伴的。

Prop nicks are a different story all together!
The mud volcano of Cartagena, Columbia is a natural hot springs formation about 60 feet high. The center is liquid. This is Darlene before the climb up.

Our new Yamaha atv got a workout in the mud bogs on the trail.
The Nahanni Range Rd or the Cantung Road starts north of Watson Lake at 108 km of the Robert Campbell Highway. The Road heads east into the Northwest Territories and ends at the Cantung (tungsten) mine. Scenery is varied on this road starting with close mountains, thick-growing willows, poplars and spruce, the Hyland River, swamps and small lakes. Fires from various years scar the valley including the territorial campground at km 82. Farther east, the road enters a wide open valley filled with beaver ponds, Arctic Birch or buckbrush with the slow meandering Little Hyland River flowing through. Caribou, moose and bears inhabit this wild land.
After spending the first night at the campground, we drove to km 176 to our second campsite, the gravel pit. My husband, Barry, did his moose calls that evening and during the night, a moose did visit us - grunting and rubbing his antlers on the brush. Our son used the air horn to keep it away from our campsite.
The next morning, Barry spotted two bull moose in the valley before the rain and snow moved in. By the afternoon there was fresh snow on the mountains, and with the rain stopping in the valley, we drove out on two atvs to see if we could spot the bull moose seen closer to our campsite. At one high point on the atv trail, Barry called for 15 minutes before we heard distant grunts. A kilometer away, a bull moose with wide antlers walked into an opening between two spruce trees. The bull kept walking to us, stopped once to rake his horns in the brush, and at 200 feet, Barry had a clear shot.
Harvesting moose and caribou are important to us for that is the major meat that we eat. The entire carcass is cut into quarters and taken home to hang for 10 days before being cut, wrapped and frozen.
This year's hunt was memorable with having our son and his girlfriend with us, seeing a Northern Hawk Owl chasing a raven, watching hundreds of sandhill cranes fly over low, admiring the beauty of fresh snow on the mountains, feeding a pair of gray jays and a pair of chipmunks at the campsite, and experiencing the thrill of a bull moose walking towards us with his 50 inch wide horns showing just above the tall brush.
Barney, modelling this season's most fashionable look for BCs... mud and lots of it.
Barney says: "Apply the mud liberally on your face, paws, tummy, tail (the white areas are best, they show the mud up nicely)... then go and show your new look with all your friends and family... they'll be really pleased, in fact, they may also wish to be cool and muddy... so give them a helping paw!"
Barney succeeded in getting MORE muddy after this shot, but it was too dark to capture the wonderfully mucky pup! Barney and Dilly both had to be bathed, because as well as mud, they ran through lots of manure that had been sprayed on the fields(yuk). I think I'll walk them somewhere else tomorrow.
Mud daubers are long, slender wasps; the latter two species above have thread-like waists. The name of this wasp group comes from the nests that are made by the females, which consist of mud molded into place by the wasp's mandibles. The organ-pipe mud dauber, as the name implies, builds nests in the shape of a cylindrical tube resembling an organ pipe or pan flute. The black and yellow mud dauber's nest is composed of a series of cylindrical cells that are plastered over to form a smooth nest about the size of a lemon. The metallic-blue mud dauber forgoes building a nest altogether and simply uses the abandoned nests of the other two species and preys primarily on black widow spiders
