The skin of the Elephant is 1-3.5 centimetres thick. The skin on the back and the haunches is the thickest and the skin behind the ears is the thinnest. The skin is important in controlling temperature, especially dissipating heat. The elephant's skin is so wrinkly partly to increase surface area to shed warmth from its body. Oddly, the skin has no sweat glands except for those right above the elephant's toenails. Healthy skin plays a great part in an elephant's vitality. Elephants love to roll in mud and to throw dirt over themselves, both of which protect against sun and insects. They also love to bathe for long periods, and bathing is a good opportunity for the mahout to look for anything unusual with the skin, such as wounds, abscesses and parasites.

 

This bull Elephant came across this huge rock and immensilly enjoyed scratching itself all over its body before returning to the rest of the herd which had moved further on. Photographed on an early morning game drive in the semi-arid area of Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

Men “check” their testicles on average seven times a day, a survey suggests. Two thousand men were asked how often they touch themselves “down there”. While seven was the average, nearly a quarter (23%) admitted to putting their hands down their boxers at least 10 times a day.

Smile on Saturday: "(sea)horses"

 

While I was take pictures of this horse it started to scratch an itch behind its right ear. I thought this made for a more interesting shot.

Betty Crocker's scratch recipe, that is. No fancy-shmancy muffins--they're from a box. Taken the other day when my daughter asked to make blueberry muffins. Just add eggs, water, mix, fold in the blueberries, bake, and voilà.

Certaines scènes du quotidien en disent plus long que les études sociologiques les plus poussées.

 

En témoigne cette scène où un personnage ordinaire semble gratter un quelconque carton coûteux dans l'espoir d'améliorer son ordinaire au magasin de hard discount le plus proche...

 

Gardez en tête que je peux me tromper : l'interprétation est voisine du mensonge et collocataire de l'erreur.

Close up of a Fig Beetle (aka Green Fruit Beetle/Green June Beetle/etc.), Cotinis mutabilis. These beautiful, harmless beetles are flying around now here in southern California. They have a tendency to clonk into obstacles when flying - even easily-avoidable ones like houses - so it's good they're well-armored. Up close like this you can see all the scrapes and scratches from its various mid-air collisions.

done as DOF on purpose......

I met this sweetie on a farm road in Surrey yesterday evening. He came running across the field to us where he received lots of handfuls of grass and lots of head scratches :)

Scratching Post - Young Bobcat entering her prime marks her territory. I have been having a slow time with photography lately so I actually was not planning on going out this evening.

 

However, I made a last minute trip out to try to see if any Bobcats would show after the rain. Boy did that decision pay off - within 30 seconds I spotted a Bobcat within the brush.

 

After I identified that it was the individual Bobcat that is most comfortable with me, I quietly walked around and sat about 30 feet from her for 30 minutes. This is a strategy I use with this species - finding a distanced place where they have clear line of sight to me and just sitting and acting normal. After the 30 minute period she got up and actually stalked towards me within 15 feet, and started marking her territory and scratching. I did not realize how large this particular individual had gotten and it was pretty awe-inspiring to watch her reach up and scratch the trees.

 

Scratching is not a behavior I have photographed well with Bobcats so this was truly a treat. I had to switch to vertical orientation, adjust my exposure compensation and zoom out to 300mm all in one motion to capture this image and I am very glad I didn't fumble anything. After this, she headed on for her hunt. Definitely grateful for this experience - was truly my #1 wildlife experience of 2022 without a doubt.

 

Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

Location: Northern California, CA, USA

Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II

Settings: 1/400s, ISO: 1600, f/5.6 @300mm, Electronic Shutter, Handheld

Deux photos => deux questions.

 

Que cherche-t-on à gratter avec ces jeux de la fameuse FdJ ? De l'espoir ? Une amélioration de son confort de vie ? Un petit frisson d'adrénaline ?

 

Tout ça à la fois ? Et peut-être même tout autre chose...

You can probably understand why Sanparks build these signs as robustly as they do when you notice what they get used for.
