Chironomus is a genus of nonbiting midges in the subfamily Chironominae of the bloodworm family, Chironomidae, containing several cryptic species that can only be distinguished by experts based on the characteristics of their giant chromosomes. The larvae of several species inhabit the profundal zone where they can reach relatively high densities. They use a combination of hemoglobin-like proteins and undulatory movements in their burrows to obtain oxygen in poorly oxygenated habitats.
L’oie à tête barrée affectionne les lacs de montagne où de grandes colonies se regroupent. Des oies à tête barrée se sont bien acclimatées dans des parcs et jardins d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord et s’y reproduisent sous contrôle. Le nid de l’oie à tête barrée est construit par la femelle. Elle pond entre 4 et 6 oeufs et l’incubation dure environ 28 jours.
Durée de vie moyenne : Jusqu’à 20 ans en captivité. L’oie à tête barrée vit en colonie et est très grégaire. Elle se reproduit au Nord de l’Himalaya, puis migre et passe l’hiver au Sud. Son sang a la particularité d’avoir une hémoglobine qui fixe particulièrement bien l’oxygène, ce qui permet à cette oie de battre des records d’altitude (jusqu’à 10’000 m) et de voler là où il n’y a presque plus d’oxygène.

Bar-headed geese (Anser indicus) are hardy birds. Every spring large flocks of bar-headed geese fly from India through the Himalayan range, above Mount Everest, on their way to their nesting grounds in Tibet. They are capable of flying through the passes of the highest mountains at heights of 3658 to 4267 m (Some have even been sighted as high as 7290 m) with winds that blow at speeds of more than 322 kph (200 mph) and temperatures low enough to freeze exposed flesh instantly.
Their powerful and constant flight helps generate body heat, which is retained by their down feathers. Such heat helps keep ice from building up on their wings when flying over mountains.
These geese also have a special type of hemoglobin that absorbs oxygen quicker than other birds; they can also extract more oxygen from each breath than other birds can.
Let me kiss your heartbreak
Bleeding and bleeding now
We are like worms turning
Into butterflies
Love
I wanna die by your side
In the eternal flames of the night
I wanna love you into the dark
In the beautiful death after life
There’s just something I wanna do
Condemn myself to hell for you
I'll keep on waiting for a thousand lives
Together we turn into butterflies.
Garson.
The Dipper is the only song bird which has adapted to survive and feed underwater. It only lives in fresh water and feeds mostly on aquatic insects and their larvae. Their blood contains high amounts of hemoglobin to oxygenate its blood for lengthy submersion in flowing water. It actually walks on the bottom of streams and uses its wings to aid in propelling itself forward underwater. It is seldom seen flying across land but usually flies up and down the stream.
Seeing Dippers is a good indication of a healthy stream for they live on aquatic insects which only live in unpolluted waters.

Deze gans is een van 's werelds hoogst vliegende vogels.
Als de vogels de Himalaya willen oversteken, vliegen ze niet over bergtoppen, maar door bergdalen.
De onderzoekers rond wetenschapper Lucy Hawkes van de Britse Universiteit van Bangor rustten 91 ganzen met een gps-zender uit om de vliegroutes te onderzoeken. Daaruit bleek dat de meeste dieren onder de 5500 meter bleven. De hoogst waargenomen vliegende gans, vloog op 7290 m hoogte.
Omdat dit dier zo hoog over de Himalaya vliegt, heeft het een aantal bijzondere aanpassingen aan de lage luchtdruk en de koude op grote hoogte. Ze hebben een iets groter vleugeloppervlak dan andere ganzen van hetzelfde gewicht.
Verder is aangetoond dat zij bij lage zuurstofgehaltes, efficiënter zuurstof kunnen opnemen. Het hemoglobine van hun bloed heeft een hogere zuurstofaffiniteit dan die van de andere ganzen.
Verder zijn ze in staat om het warmteverlies te beperken.

Ce seigneur des airs possèdent 4 types d’hémoglobines. Il peut ainsi se jouer du froid et de la raréfaction en oxygène . On raconte qu’un vautour de Rüppell a été tué par un avion à 11300 mètres. Il détient le record de vol en altitude.
Bar-headed geese returning to roost in the twilight.
Trivia
A mid-sized goose, they nest mainly in Mongolia and China - the Tibetan Plateau, but winter in India.
They are ranked as the highest consistent fliers among all the bird species. On their annual migration over the Himalayas,
Bar-headed geese have been seen flying well above the peak of Mt. Everest (29000+ ft).
Scientists have found that their blood cells contain a special type of hemoglobin which absorbs oxygen very quickly at high altitudes plus their capillaries extend especially deeply into their muscles, improving the transfer of oxygen to their muscle fibers.
Empezando de derecha a izquierda, tenemos un par de huevos de los colores habituales, el primero marrón rojizo que pertenece a una gallina ponedora de las que se encuentran en las granjas productoras de huevos. El segundo para completar el par, es blanco, más grande que los otros dos y lo puso una de las reinas de las razas de gallina españolas, la castellana negra. El medio par que queda es uno de los conocidos como “huevos azules” aunque suelen ser de un azul verdososo, o un verdoso azulado, siendo el tono verde el que domina en éste de la foto. Lo puso una gallina chilena de la raza araucana o mapuche, que tienen una enzima que transforma la hemoglobina en un pigmento llamado biliverdina que se acumula en la cáscara de los huevos mientras se forma, dandoles este singular color.

“Marques de Carano” Gran Reserva 2010.🍷
The taste may even seem old-fashioned and familiar for a long time, but it doesn’t allow you to remember. Ruby red color, slightly fruity. Unobtrusive acidity, but the aftertaste is short.
If we mean not the wine, but the quality of the photograph, then we need to say the following. This photo was taken with a Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II. The album contains a similar photo taken the same hour with an iPad mini II tablet. One can debate which is better with such a short distance to the subject, but I liked both images. Each of them has something different that is difficult to convey in words. And it is also almost elusive, like reflections of light in a glass of wine. Very subjective, but I like both images, and the subject itself is not bad.
Rüppell's Vultures (Gyps rueppelli) are fascinating creatures, often considered the unsung sanitation workers of the African savannah. Their specialized adaptations allow them to thrive in harsh environments, but they are currently facing a severe risk of extinction.
Highest Flying Bird in the World:
Rüppell's Vultures hold the record for the highest-flying bird, with a confirmed case of one colliding with a plane at 11,300 meters (37,000 feet) above Ivory Coast in 1973.
Specialised "Aeroplane" Blood:
To fly at altitudes where oxygen is extremely scarce and temperatures are near -56 °C (-69 °F), they have developed a unique, specialised variant of hemoglobin that allows them to absorb oxygen more efficiently than most other animals.
Long-Distance Commuters:
They are known to travel up to 200 km away from their nest site in search of food and can spend seven hours a day in the sky, often gathering in massive groups ("wakes") at carcasses.
Such gatherings increase the chance of 'poisoned carcasses' by poachers - once they have stripped the 'bush-meat'....
Rüppell's Vulture (Gyps rueppellii) adult Cadiz Nov. Spain_1389_
Habitat: They are found in the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. In Ecuador they are in the mountains, in cold, temperate and high Andean climates. Its preferred habitat is the moorland, although as a domestic animal it has been introduced in inter-Andean valleys and sometimes in warm and tropical areas to the west. Especially abundant in Cotopaxi and Chimborazo.
Altitude range: from 2000 to 5000 meters above sea level.
Dimensions: length between 120-220 cm.
Weight: 119-200 kg.
Feeding: herbivorous, non-ruminant based on grasses, leaves and tender branches of certain species. The stomach is divided into 3 parts.
Gestation Period: 340-368 days. One baby a year, rarely two.
Life expectancy: Generally between 50 and 60 years, although sometimes it can reach 70 years.
Sounds: Generally silent, when they vocalize they do it repetitively and resembling a short and sharp braying.
Description and behavior: The llama is a large animal, with a relatively long, dense and fine fur with a woolly appearance. The head, neck and limb fur is shorter. The color of their fur can be black, light brown or dark brown, gray or white, sometimes with dark colored spots. The face is elongated just like its snout.
They are agile animals, with diurnal habits of long and thin neck, small head, slender body and relatively long legs. The upper lip, elongated forward has a medium fissure that distinguishes it. Their legs end in two fingers, only the third and fourth fingers are functional, they walk supporting the pads of these fingers, this avoids damaging the soil and the erosion of their habitat, unlike cows and horses. The hemoglobin in your blood is high to be able to capture greater O2, it is also the only mammal with oval and non-circular red blood cells.
In conditions of freedom, they can form groups of up to 10 females with their young, led by a male.
They are domesticated animals 6000-7000 years ago as a pack animal in the case of the llama and source of food and wool in the case of alpaca. The animal's natural abilities were used to withstand cold climates, high altitudes and long walking days without the need for water. It has been documented that they can load up to 96 kg and transport it for 20 km at an average altitude of 4000 meters above sea level.
It was the only cargo animal before the arrival of the Spaniards. The presence of European cattle caused its population to decline drastically.
The alpaca was previously classified as an independent species under the scientific name of Lama pacos, but is now considered simply as a variation of Lama glama.
The current populations are domestic or reintroduced, although there is evidence that they were animals of the high ecosystems of the Ecuadorian highlands.
The flame is the Bolivian national symbol that represents the animal kingdom or native fauna of Bolivia and is represented in the Shield of Bolivia since 2004, when replacing the alpaca.
In Amaru we have a male rescued and donated by the SOS Villages.
Threats: None.
State of conservation: Being a domesticated animal is not in danger.
King penguins, like all other penguins, are flightless. Their wings are too narrow, but powerful fins remodeled and adapted to a life in the sea. King penguins can reach depths of over 300 meters and stay under water for several minutes. 150 dives a day, more than half at depths over 50 meters, are remarkable. Underwater oxygen supplementation is provided by myoglobin, a muscle protein related to hemoglobin. Basically, king penguins dive deeper during the day, during the night they stay in water regions of less than 30 meters depth. Dives take on average 5.5 minutes.

I saw some clam-like shells with bright orange fleshy interiors for sale at the Sunda Kelapa Pasar Ikan (fish market). A little research revealed them to be blood cockles (Tegillarca granosa), also called ark clam or blood clam for the red haemoglobin liquid inside the soft tissues. It lives mainly in the intertidal zone burrowed down into sand or mud and large areas of Asia are given over to aquaculture of this bivalve. Since it lives in a low oxygen environment it may contain infectious viruses and present a safety hazard.

From Masako~ (fake_plastic_earth)
professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal..
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack..
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

Quand le quotidien tourne au sanguin, on pourrait presque s'interroger sur les torrents d'hémoglobine que nous réserve l'avenir...
Pas de quoi s'alarmer pourtant, il ne s'agit que d'un Simple Message Sanguinolent, un SMS ! :-))
Les limules sont des arthropodes marins vivant dans les eaux peu profondes. Des fossiles datant du Jurassique, assez semblables aux espèces actuelles, ont été trouvés en Allemagne. On ne sait toutefois si elles avaient le sang bleu comme les limules modernes. Une particularité très prisée par l'industrie pharmaceutique.
Le sang des limules transporte l'oxygène non pas avec de l'hémoglobine, de couleur rouge due au fer, mais avec de l'hémocyanine qui renferme du cuivre et qui est bleu. Le sang de limule est utilisé depuis plus de 30 ans pour détecter les endotoxines dans les vaccins, les médicaments injectables et les dispositifs médicaux. C'est une des causes, avec la surpêche, de la diminution des espèces actuelles.

Here's another shot from my late August trip to the Svartkällsskogens nature reserve which ended in an involontary swim (long story here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52324967245/).
Finding a spider with slings on the back like this immediately tells us it is a wolf spider - and of course a female.
But getting the exact species is a little trickier. This is one of the species in the Pardosa lugubris group, P. saltans, P. alacris and of course P. lugubris. They, especially the females, are extremely similar so the ID here ends with Pardosa in the lugubris group.
If you zoom in on the spiderlings clinging to their mother's abdomen, you'll see that they have blue legs. This isn't an external colour, but actually the hemolymph, the spiderlings' blood showing through the insanely thin exoskeleton of their legs.
Unlike mammalian blood which uses hemoglobin, containing iron to transport oxygen, spiders have hemocyanin with copper, making it light blue instead.
Coffee outside in the winter can leave you feeling trapped in that chair.
The temperature affects how easily oxygen is released from hemoglobin to the muscle. In colder weather, the rate that oxygen is released is slower. Which means there is less oxygen available for the muscle, causing the muscle contraction to be difficult. This is where stiffness is felt.
Stay warm this winter.
Excerpt from rbg.ca:
Anamazon (Limb) by Pamela Rosenkranz
b. 1979, Switzerland
Lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland
In her works, Pamela Rosenkranz investigates transitions from the natural to the artificial, dissolving their distinctiveness with reciprocal copying strategies. Anamazon (Limb) appears in a cacophony of sounds from the Amazon in a seemingly natural environment. Pulsating waves run through the branch as if it were an organ pumping blood through its capillaries while a sticky green fluid oozes from its wounded broken edge. The use of the phosphorous green (derived from the RGB color model) as well as the intertwining of the botanic and the organic lends the branch a futuristic character, and raises a question regarding the larger entity from which this branch or limb originates, and the possibility of chlorocruorin* running through its veins.
Like the microbiome in the human body, whose multi-branched mode of action remains largely unexplored, the myriad connections and interactions of plant and fungal systems in the Amazon, for example, are yet to be fully recognized and described. Anamazon (Limb) appears as an extraction from an ecosystem that can only exist as far as the human imagination can reach.
* Chlorocruorin is a dichroic red-green respiratory protein, chemically similar to hemoglobin, and is only found dissolved in the blood of certain annelids.
Pamela Rosenkranz has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus Bregenz; Kreuzgang Fraumünster, Zurich; GAMeC, Bergamo; Fondazione Prada, Milan; Kunsthalle Basel; Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva; and the Swiss Institute, Venice, among others. She has participated in several major international group exhibitions, including the Okayama Art Summit and the 15th Biennale de Lyon. In 2015, her project Our Product was selected for the Swiss Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale.
Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen enzyme reactions in various tissues. Too little iron can interfere with these vital functions and lead to morbidity and death.[1]
Total body iron averages approximately 3.8 g in men and 2.3 g in women. In blood plasma, iron is carried tightly bound to the protein transferrin. There are several mechanisms that control iron metabolism and safeguard against iron deficiency. The main regulatory mechanism is situated in the gastrointestinal tract. The majority of iron absorption occurs in the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. A number of dietary factors may affect iron absorption. When loss of iron is not sufficiently compensated by intake of iron from the diet, a state of iron deficiency develops over time. When this state is uncorrected, it leads to iron-deficiency anemia, a common type of anemia.[1] Before anemia occurs, the medical condition of iron deficiency without anemia is called latent iron deficiency (LID).
Anemia is a condition characterized by inadequate red blood cells (erythrocytes) or hemoglobin. When the body lacks sufficient amounts of iron, production of the protein hemoglobin is reduced. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen, enabling red blood cells to supply oxygenated blood throughout the body. Women of child-bearing age,[2] children, and people with poor diet are most susceptible to the disease. Most cases of iron-deficiency anemia are mild, but if not treated can cause problems like an irregular heartbeat, pregnancy complications, and delayed growth in infants and children that could affect their cognitive development and their behavior.[3]
Taconite has a lot of Iron. Eat a lot of taconite.
For Part 5 of GI Brick's contest.
Update: I got back home a few days ago. My mom was severely anemic and had to have surgery to help with a bleeding issue, so they postponed her heart surgery. She is taking iron to get her hemoglobin up. We are going back to the Mayo Clinic after Thanksgiving for her open-heart surgery. She is very grateful for all your prayers and well wishes.
L'odeur du sang.
Il s'approche, sans un bruit.
~
C'est pour toi, ce bouquet d'hémoglobine.
Un nectar interdit à l'odeur séduisante.
I'm not a blue blood like you,
My blood is crimson red, not royal blue;
One thought of losing you is all I need,
To cut myself and watch it bleed.
Purge those memories from my head,
Make them stop before I'm dead.
All this love we had was a gift by you,
You know, the love we had you said was true..?
Remember that one day you took it away?
And there was nothing about it I could say?
So here's my blood, I put it in a vile,
Keep it or think about it for a while.
Until your feelings for me come undone,
I'll bleed for you, you're my only one `·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·

The Bar-headed Goose or Bar-headed Geese is Highest migratory bird in the globe, during the winter migration from Southern Asia to Central Asia.
Most birds reach altitudes of 5,000–6,000m during the migration, but this beautiful bird is one of the world's highest-flying birds, having been heard flying across Mount Makalu, the Fifth highest mountain on Earth at 8,481m (27,825 ft) and apparently seen over Mount Everest 8,848m (29,029 ft) with winds that blow at speeds of more than 322 kph (200 mph) and temperatures low enough to freeze exposed flesh instantly. At this height, oxygen levels drop by one-third; even kerosene cannot burn there and helicopters cannot fly at that altitude.
Their powerful and constant flight helps generate body heat, which is retained by their down feathers. Such heat helps keep ice from building up on their wings when flying over mountains.
These geese also have a special type of hemoglobin that absorbs oxygen quicker than other birds; they can also extract more oxygen from each breath than other birds can.
These geese are able to migrate more than 1609 km (1,000 miles.) in a single day.
Scientists believe the geese's yearly migration is triggered by an environmental signal that allows them to miss the summer monsoon season and the worst winter storms.
Been away a couple of weeks. Had my 46th birthday on the 16th... the following day. All hell breaks loose with my body.
I had a tooth partially chip off awhile back. The rest of it was still intact, surrounding a filling that's been there for 30+ years. Although it would pain up occasionally. For the most part, it was under control... not that weekend. Next to kidney stones. I can't think of a worse pain.
That Monday I started searching for a dentist, had the tooth pulled, and went home... simple enough.
Midway into the evening I started to get sick. With a lot of blood being released through my stools... we're talking buckets here... black as can be... looked like "Texas tea". All because of a tooth being pulled? Didn't seem likely. (and) it wasn't.
As it turned out. I had been taking too much Ibuprofen during the course of the past few weeks. Especially so during the previous day. Three here, four there... if I couldn't remember the last time I took one. I would only take two. Soon to be followed by another four.
All this created three bleeding ulcers in my stomach. It seemed odd to me that I was bleeding profusely through my bowels. Yet there was no sign of blood when I threw up. The doctor explained it just depended on where the bleeding was taking place. "Logical".
They set me up to have a scope(throat) done later in the week. By this time I was so sick. Any simple task would exult me completely. They wanted to do a Colonoscopy as well. But I was too weak to attempt the prep work for that.
The morning of the procedure. It took everything I had to get from Bruce's car to the first wheelchair I could plant my ass on... there was no waiting. They took me straight to a bed.
My Hemoglobin was 5.6... 13.9 to 16 is considered normal. It was no wonder I kept wanting to pass out. Apparently the under-skin of my eyes were completely white. No blood what-so-ever.
During the day long stay. They gave me a blood transfusion(3 pints/bags). Which brought my number up to an 8.7... still not perfect. But much improved. I now have 6 weeks of medication and Iron supplements to finish the ordeal. Feeling much, much better... so far I haven't needed the stool softener(due to the Iron). Something to look forward to. ;-)
How I've been spending my time? Laying on a hospital bed in the ER in the middle of the hallway because all the rooms are full (sadly mostly unvaccinated Covid patients on ventilators) getting 3 units of blood/blood transfusion from my anemia because of what's going on with my body(too personal to share) my hemoglobin dropped from an already very low 8.4 to a 5 which is pretty scary, my heart rate was 125 resting and normal is is 60-100. It's been horrible but I'm home now feeling a bit better and resting. But hey my nails looked cute! It's taken forever to grow them this long again 😂
