Bull Moose posturing for the Rut

Cuando aprieta el calor, tienden a adoptar esta postura para disminuir los efectos de los rayos del sol.

When you squeeze the heat, you tend to adopt this posture to lessen the effects of the sun's rays.

A young male of Brachythemis in the dam of Argos. Calasparra (Murcia) Spain.

Its loud, blaring song and its upright posture with its tail always erect make it appear self-confident, maybe even like a "little king". He is the only representative of his family in all of Europe and Asia, so there is little chance of confusion. Along with the goldcrest and goldcrest, it is one of the smallest birds in Europe. He is about ten centimeters tall and weighs less than twelve grams.

Sein lauter, schmetternder Gesang und seine aufrechte Haltung mit seinem stets aufgestellten Schwanz lassen ihn selbstbewusst, vielleicht sogar wie einen „kleinen König“ wirken. Er ist der einzige Vertreter seiner Familie in ganz Europa und Asien, Verwechslungsmöglichkeiten gibt es daher wenig. Mit dem Winter- und Sommergoldhähnchen gehört er zu den kleinsten Vögeln Europas. Er ist etwa zehn Zentimeter groß und wiegt unter zwölf Gramm.

A Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) buck approaches a rival, ears pinned back and hackles raised. This type of behavior, often known as "posturing" communicates agitation or aggression to other deer, most often rival bucks, and may indicate that a fight is imminent. Larimer County, Colorado.
