Prey and Predator Here is a quiet and tranquil scene that, for me, brims with conflicting emotion. During birthing season juveniles have to be extremely lucky to survive. In the case of Cape Buffalo, for example, if they can keep up with the herd there is some degree of protection. In the case of Thomson’s Gazelle, if spotted by a Cheetah, they are as good as gone. Adult Thomson’s are fast and agile, yet often fall victim to an adult Cheetah. Juveniles have no chance and are taken in seconds rather than minutes. There is no herd to protect them and literally nothing the parents can do but fend for themselves. It’s tough out there.

Barred owls are large and impressive predators with nearly a 4 foot wingspan, so they're hard to miss when they are in the area.
Sunset on the Lancaster Canal near Garstang, Lancashire. This barge was called "Predator", hence the title! The owner had obviously cut quite a lot of firewood to keep his wood burner going, looking at the amount of saw dust on the towpath!
The colours in the sky were magical!
Summertime, and the living is easy... unless you're a Coyote still wearing last winter's coat! Our summers can get as uncomfortably hot as the winters are cold, so twice a year the Coyotes have to change their dress code. This one is still moulting in late June as it traverses a field of grass, sage, and prairie coneflower. I expect to see it on the local fashion show catwalk - er, dogwalk? - by early November.
Tomorrow: another prairie mammal that doesn't look its best in summer...

During this week that I spent at home in quarantine, I made many observations and began to envy the birds! Now they are the owners on the streets!
За эту неделю, что я провела дома в карантине, я сделала много наблюдений и стала завидовать птицам! Теперь они хозяева на улицах города!

One more from the LED hula hoop shoot, and may I say again... a lot of fun was had.

Leopard dragging his prey, a beautiful warthog, up the side of the ravine we were tracking in, in Entabeni, S. Africa, Oct 2023. Did not attempt to photograph the kill, the cries of the poor warthog were chilling beyond words.
This old boy was looking as if I was its prey and he wanted to climb the food chain. While walking the fence line for brakes after finishing for the day. This hawk was intent on keeping his spot to the point where I was within 15 feet before he vacated.

_ Die Würfelnatter (Natrix tessellata) ist eine ungiftige, für den Menschen harmlose eurasische Schlange aus der Familie der Europäischen Wassernattern (Natrix). In Mitteleuropa ist die wärmeliebende Art extrem selten. Sie wurde zum „Reptil des Jahres 2009“ gekürt. Am Nordufer des ungarischen Plattensee kommt sie jedoch häufig vor. (wikipedia)

A kockás sikló (Natrix tessellata) egy eurázsiai kígyófaj, mely közeli rokonával, a vízisiklóval ellentétben valóban vízhez kötött életet él, és tápláléka nagy részét is innen szerzi.

Patterned Predator - A Great Basin Collared lizards basks on a rock. I was only able to grab this single image before the lizard ran after a whiptail lizard. Like the related leopard lizards, this species is almost entirely carnivorous and a very effective hunter of other lizards. They dispatch their prey with powerful bites to the mid-section - essentially pulverizing them. This was a lifer species for me and while I know I can do better photo wise, thought I'd still share this one.

An old photo with a bit of an edit and a bigger crop. The Heron did eat it after a bit of a struggle. I have seen them eat bigger and then go straight back to fishing.
