Sur la banquise, une scène inattendue se déroule ...

Maman ours et son petit ourson se serrent dans un câlin géant.

C’est une journée spéciale : l’ourson a appris à faire ses premiers pas sur la glace sans tomber !

Pour célébrer, ils partagent un moment de tendresse, oubliant le froid polaire.

Qui a dit que les ours n’avaient pas de cœur ? 😉

°°°°°°°°°°°

On the ice, an unexpected scene unfolds ...

Mama bear and her little cub are wrapped in a giant hug.

It’s a special day: the cub has learned to take its first steps on the ice without falling!

To celebrate, they share a moment of tenderness, forgetting the polar chill.

Who said bears don’t have hearts ? 😉

Dans la force tranquille de leur marche, cette mère ours incarne toute la tendresse et la protection qui fondent l’esprit de famille chez les mammifères.

Chacun de ses pas rappelle que grandir, c’est avant tout avancer ensemble !

°°°°°°

In the quiet strength of their walk, this mother bear embodies the tenderness and protection that define the spirit of family among mammals.

Each step is a reminder that growing up means moving forward together !

Chassant principalement à l’affût, elle se nourrit essentiellement de micromammifères (musaraignes, campagnols), de petits oiseaux qu’elle attrape au vol, ainsi que d’insectes, batraciens et reptiles. Elle a la particularité de faire des provisions dans son nid. Elle est assez agressive et territoriale, et ses adultes évitent de se croiser.

La chouette pygmée peut tourner sa tête de façon très flexible grâce à 14 vertèbres cervicales, soit le double de l’humain, ce qui lui donne une capacité d’observation exceptionnelle !

°°°°°°°°°°°°

Hunting mainly by ambush, it feeds primarily on small mammals (shrews, voles), small birds caught in flight, as well as insects, amphibians, and reptiles. It has the particular habit of storing food in its nest. It is quite aggressive and territorial, and adult birds avoid encountering each other.

The pygmy owl can turn its head very flexibly thanks to 14 cervical vertebrae, twice as many as humans, giving it exceptional observational ability.

Les écailles de pangolin sont très appréciées en Asie essentiellement pour leur place dans la médecine traditionnelle, mais elles sont aussi associées à des valeurs symboliques et culturelles tenaces, malgré l’absence de validation scientifique de leurs vertus thérapeutiques !

Cette forte demande engendre un trafic important qui menace gravement la survie des pangolins dans le monde, malgré un encadrement juridique de plus en plus strict et la sensibilisation à la conservation de l’espèce !

°°°°°°°°

Pangolin scales are highly valued in Asia mainly for their place in traditional medicine, but they are also associated with persistent symbolic and cultural values, even though their therapeutic benefits lack scientific validatio !

This strong demand leads to significant trafficking that seriously threatens the survival of pangolins worldwide, despite increasingly strict legal frameworks and growing awareness about the need to preserve the species !

Un crocodile peut attaquer une proie même s’il n’a pas faim !

Les crocodiles sont des carnivores opportunistes et peuvent lancer des attaques par instinct ou comme comportement territorial, plutôt que par véritable besoin de se nourrir à ce moment précis.

Ils peuvent rester immobiles pendant longtemps pour économiser de l’énergie, mais une fois qu’ils perçoivent une opportunité ou sont stimulés, ils attaquent sans nécessairement être affamés.

Il est aussi connu qu’ils peuvent survivre longtemps sans manger, parfois jusqu’à un an, en ralentissant leur métabolisme, ce qui montre que la faim n’est pas toujours le moteur principal de leurs attaques !

°°°°°°°°°

A crocodile can attack prey even when it is not hungry.

Crocodiles are opportunistic carnivores and may attack due to instinct, territorial behavior, or opportunistic circumstances rather than actual hunger.

They spend long periods conserving energy and can survive without eating for extended times by slowing their metabolism, so hunger is not always the driving factor behind their attacks.

Their attacks can be triggered by movement or the presence of potential prey, regardless of whether they need food at that moment.

This behavior shows that crocodile attacks are not always motivated by immediate need for food but can also relate to natural instincts and territorial defense !

The faded green copper domes of the Church of the Great Martyr, St. George the Victorious, rise above the skyline, serving as an impressive landmark to all travelers on the 401. Set in the heart of Old Oshawa, on Albert Street, the church has long been the spiritual home for Ukrainian Catholics living in an area stretching between Scarborough and Kingston. The parish itself was established circa 1912.

“Radio playin' softly

Some singer's sad sad song

He's singin' about standin' in the shadows of love

I guess he feels awfully alone

She says I know exactly what he means

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And it's a sad, sad, sad, sad feelin'

When you're livin' on those in-betweens

But it's okay…”

Au-dessus de Bruxelles, Coco et Lolo, deux chardonnerets un peu trop fiers, ont décidé de régler leur différend… en duel aérien !

Entre pirouettes et piqués, leur bataille semblait digne d’un film d’action.

Mais au dernier instant, ils ont préféré partager le ciel… et surtout les graines !

Moralité : parfois, mieux vaut voler ensemble que se chamailler.

°°°°°°°

Over the skies of Brussels, Coco and Lolo, two rather proud goldfinches, decided to settle their disagreement… with an aerial showdown !

Twisting and diving, their battle looked like something straight out of an action movie.

But at the last moment, they chose to share the sky… and most importantly, the seeds !

The moral of the story: sometimes, it’s better to soar together than to fight over nothing 😉

Sous ses airs de sage rasta félin, ce chat porte fièrement ses tresses naturelles, fruits d’un laisser-aller poétique ou d’une simple vie sans brosse.

Entre originalité et tendresse, il arbore une allure unique qui rappelle que la beauté ne tient parfois qu’à un fil … de poils, bien sûr 🤔

°°°°°°°°

With his wise rasta look, this cat proudly sports natural “braids”, the poetic result of a carefree life or just a brush-free routine.

Quirky yet full of tenderness, he reveals a unique charm that reminds us beauty sometimes hangs by a thread … of fur, naturally🤔

You can play 'spot the object' in this shot — there are a lot of them! Excluding a couple of days of planning and drying flowers, this shot took 3 hours to compose and shoot and another hour to post-process (mainly removing hot pixels!). Three separate exposures have been blended (all in Pixelmator in the iPad) — one for the left side, one for the oil lamp and one to highlight the burner flame). Further tweaking in Snapseed using multiple stack edits with #Snapseed's excellent masking capabilities.

On estime qu'un pangolin est pris à l'état sauvage par les braconniers toutes les cinq minutes !

Une grande partie de la demande de pangolins est motivée par leurs écailles, qui sont utilisées à des fins médicinales, et leur viande, qui est un mets délicat dans certaines cultures asiatiques.

Les pangolins sont également confrontés à d'autres menaces, y compris la destruction de l'habitat et l'électrocution.

Si un pangolin rencontre une clôture électrique, son mécanisme de défense naturel - se recroqueville - signifie qu'il s'enroule autour du fil.

°°°°°°°°

t is estimated that a pangolin is taken from the wild by poachers every five minutes.

Much of the demand for pangolins is driven by their scales, which are used for medicinal purposes, and their meat, which is a delicacy in certain Asian cultures.

Pangolins also face other threats, including habitat destruction and electrocution.

If a pangolin encounters an electric fence, its natural defense mechanism — curling up — means it wraps itself around the wire.
