Duvalia sulcata (ssp. sulcata) has a disjunct distribution in southern Yemen and in Sudan.
Duvalia sulcata is the most beautiful, large-flowered duvalia. It is a succulent, perennial plants with low, planar growth with branches rooting at the base and can form wide carpets which, at the right moment, can carry many flowers. The shoots are mottled grey-green with long soft teeth and four-angled in cross-section. The hermaphroditic flowers are ca. 3 cm long, opened to 4.5 cm in diameter and are characterized by the flat brownish red annulus with long, white hairs. The corolla lobes have 5 deep nerves on the upper side and are fringed with long red and white club-hairs at the base. These club-hairs hardly remain still and move in the slightest breeze, possibly attracting insects. However the stems and the corolla size, colour and indumentum are quite variable. D. sulcata differs from the African species by its quadrangular stems and very large flowers. It might belong to its own growth-form group.
One of the delights of capturing images is discovering the names of various plant life. For years I've admired these two lichens.... orange colored Xanthoria parietina and the soft greenish-grey color of xParmelia sulcata covered the branch of tree limbs. Our natural world is an incredibly interesting place!

Gewoon schildmos (Parmelia sulcata), een bladvormig korstmos dat grijsgroen van kleur is en hoekige, bladachtige lobben heeft.
Op de randen van de lobben zijn vaak witte, netwerkachtige lijntjes zichtbaar, de zogenaamde pseudocyphellen, die dienen voor gasuitwisseling.
Het is een veelvoorkomende soort die vrij goed bestand is tegen luchtvervuiling.
🐢 Spornschildkröte (Centrochelys sulcata)
Afrikanische Spornschildkröte
Die Spornschildkröte ist die größte Landschildkröte Afrikas und die drittgrößte der Welt. Sie stammt aus den trockenen Savannen und Halbwüsten südlich der Sahara, vor allem aus Ländern wie Mali, Tschad, Sudan und Äthiopien. Charakteristisch sind die kräftigen Vorderbeine mit auffälligen Sporen – daher der Name.
Spornschildkröten sind Pflanzenfresser und bevorzugen trockenes, ballaststoffreiches Futter wie Heu, Gras und Kräuter. Sie können über 100 Jahre alt werden und erreichen in Ausnahmefällen ein Gewicht von über 80 kg.
In menschlicher Obhut benötigen sie viel Platz, Wärme und UV-Licht sowie eine kontrollierte Ernährung, da sie sehr empfindlich auf Fehlernährung reagieren.

🐢 African Spurred Tortoise(Centrochelys sulcata)
Also known as the Sulcata Tortoise
The African Spurred Tortoise is the largest land tortoise in Africa and the third largest in the world. It originates from the dry savannas and semi-deserts south of the Sahara, in countries such as Mali, Chad, Sudan, and Ethiopia. Its name comes from the large spurs on its powerful front legs.
Sulcata tortoises are herbivores and thrive on dry, high-fiber food such as hay, grasses, and weeds. They can live for over 100 years and, in rare cases, weigh more than 80 kg (176 lbs).
In captivity, they require a lot of space, warmth, and UV light, along with a carefully controlled diet, as they are sensitive to improper feeding. (Quelle/source: Internet)

Got myself an new Mountain Bike through the Cycle to Work scheme(Tax & NI savings). I was thinking about converting it to electric but its nice to have a light bike just for muddy trails, so i kept it as it was.
This morning was supposed to be just a ride, no camera and maybe take along the drone. Spotted the forecast for fog and had to take the camera bag lol!

It was fun chasing this ant for a portrait. But it was too quick. So I had to take one of its behind. Still made for a nice shot.
I can't explain the little ball on its back. Couldn't find anything online about this part of the anatomy. Either it isn't a part of the anatomy, or this ant had something special.

The Sulcata Tortoise is the largest mainland tortoise in the world. It is the third largest after the Galapagos Tortoise and the Aldabra Tortoise. Although its natural habitat is the dessert in Africa, we saw this one at the Saskatoon Farm in Alberta. The feet of tortoises are designed for walking on land while those of turtles are designed for living mainly in water. He has an interesting shape to his shell compared to our local turtles. It was a marvel to see this guy up close as he moved along to join the other tortoises. They are such fascinating animals. I think he still had some of his lettuce lunch stuck on his face.
Deze schildpadden kunnen tot 100 kg wegen en een schildlengte tot maximaal 83 centimeter bereiken. Het verschil tussen de mannetjes en de vrouwtjes van
deze soort is dat de mannetjes een langere en aan de schildkant dikkere staart hebben dan de vrouwtjes en ze hebben een holler buikschild. Op de dijen van de sporenschildpadden zijn twee of drie vergrote beenplaten te zien gedragen op een lange slanke nek zonder belletjes of sik.
Walking in the chilly wintry Botanical Garden, my attention was demanded by the handsome Black Mulberry Tree, Morus nigra, leafless in the cold of course. But its lower truck is verdantly alive. Here's what I was given te see: beautifully green Clustered Feather Moss, Rynchostegium confertum; peeping through it pale blue-green Parmelia sulcata, Shield Lichen; and in the inset tiny Mycena hiemalis, Winter Mycene. All in all a pretty view in the gloom.
PS I'm not very good 'in' mosses, fungi and lichens, so please correct me if I've misidentified,

The African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata), also called the sulcata tortoise, Grooved Tortoise, the Spur Tortoise and the African Spur Thigh Tortoise is a species of tortoise. It is the third-largest species of tortoise in the world, the largest species of mainland tortoise, and the only extant species in the genus Centrochelys.
Adults can reach 83 cm (33 in) and can weigh 105 kg (231 lb). They grow from hatchling size (2-3 in) very quickly, reaching 6-10 in (15-25 cm) within the first few years of their lives. They can live more than 70 years.
This lovely African spurred tortoise was photographed on game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya.
