Herbstmess' Karlsruhe

The Dragonfly season has begun. Hit "L" for a view on her face. I just love them.

Taken in Etosha Park, Namibia. Possibly a greater kestrel.

I have luckily managed to capture an incredible fish-hunt and fight this river otter has performed, in the calm waters of Alouette river. This was the first time for me to have witnessed such an amazing spectacle and I truly hope it won't be the last.

Otters are masterful fish predators, while in the water. On land, they can become prey for larger mammals.

Despite the apparent fearful expression in my photo, I think most of us love otters. They are cute and make funny poses and grimaces.

These creatures called humans came to our world.

With their weapons. Their arrogance.

They thought they could subjugate us,

Make us bow to their will.

Foolish, inferior beings.

A few seconds was enough for them to realize the magnitude of our power.

Now they run and hide for their lives, that is all they can do.

I will hunt them down. Each one of them.

I will mount their heads on spikes as a reminder of what happens to anyone who defies us.

For my kind bends the knee to no one.

My people were not born to be slaves.

We were born to be conquerors.

Male Barred Owl. I took this upper body shot as it looked a lot more puffy than the entire bird. Just loved those feathers covering the branch.

This dragonfly perched itself on one of the bamboo supports in the garden, surveying his territory! I am not sure of the identity but I think it is a Brown Hawker.

Little do they know that there was a lion let loose in their town.

slowly stalking his next meal.

So this is a sim a friend of mine owns and honestly in my opinion is one of the best looking fantasy sims ive ever set foot on.

im trying to help set him up to turn it into a rp sim but i believe all my friends on here should come have a look.

This shot, in contrast to the previous ones of a cute stone marten, shows its fierce predator side. This is the same animal as the cute one in the previous post.

A Green Jumping Spider (Mopsus mormon) with prey in my backyard this morning.

Ruddy darter - Sympetrum sanguineum

The dragonflies are wonderful. They are very efficient predators, they can intercept prey mid-air, they can move each of their four wings independently from the others, they have near-360-degree vision with their eyes which contain 30,000 facets, each bringing in information about the insect's surroundings. Top of it they're beautiful insects :)

Thank you very much for viewing my photos, I appreciate the faves and comments!

Fynn and a mouse, a real one this time. Sorry, this is not a very pretty sight but something you have to get used to if you live with predators. Fynn isn't a very passionate hunter and he didn't kill the poor mouse himself. When he found it on the path behind the house, the mouse was already dead, probably dropped there by Sethi who hunts everything that moves and is smaller than himself. Fynn occasionally catches mice too but usually brings them home alive and releases them somewhere in the house. That's not very funny either but I honestly prefer a living mouse in my bedroom to a dead one on my doorstep.

Fynn has a vet appointment next Tuesday for his dental surgery but I think I will have to cancel it. The cat flu strikes again at the moment and a surgery under these circumstances would probably be a very bad idea. I will talk to the vet on Monday and see what she says.

Besra (Accipiter virgatus)

Golden Silk spider,

Trichonephila clavipes

Approximately to scale with the Prey photo just posted, although the spider will be significantly larger than a dragonfly, if it survives into the fall.
