My husband and I were sitting out on the front porch one evening and mama came along and climbed up in the big maple tree and sort of hung out with us. The tree is huge as you can see by the size of the trunk and very tall but she only went about 5 feet up and directly in front of us. She seemed quite relaxed.
Blue-winged Teals are common in South Florida. They socialize together and aren't overly shy in refuges where they are not hunted. This is the best I've got of them in flight, getting it this morning. The male is mottled brown and the male, shown here, has a dark head with the telltale white crescent on his face. (Anas discors)
Elephants are highly social animals and are known for their complex social behavior, which includes a variety of communication methods, social bonding, and cooperation. One of the most important aspects of elephant social behavior is their family structure, which is centered around a matriarchal society.
Female elephants, called cows, form close bonds with their female relatives, such as their mothers, sisters, and daughters, and often live in multi-generational family groups. These groups are led by the oldest and most experienced cow, known as the matriarch, who is responsible for making decisions for the group, such as where to feed and drink and when to move to new areas.
Male elephants, called bulls, are more solitary and typically leave their family group around the age of 12 to 14 to join bachelor herds or to live alone. However, bulls do interact with family groups during the mating season, when they seek out receptive females to mate with.
When elephants socialize, they use a variety of communication methods, including vocalizations, body language, and chemical signals. They also engage in tactile communication, such as touching trunks or rubbing against each other.
Elephants are highly intelligent and are capable of exhibiting empathy and compassion towards each other. They have been known to show affection towards other elephants, comfort each other in times of distress, and even mourn their dead. Overall, elephants are complex social animals with intricate social structures and behaviors.
A number of seabird species bond or socialize by 'billing', where they hit each other's beak a number of times fairly quickly.

Watching from the great viewpoint in Olifants Restcamp, looking out over the Olifants River,we saw two elephant herds meeting each other. What looked like a greeting ceremony we noticed that a delegate from each group was sent forward in order to exchange information, on the photo the 2 delegates are indicated.

Amazing creatures.
Fine, I know that this bird is ugly, a scavenger, eats dead stuff, is really common in your neck of the woods. But here in Ontario, there are a mere 8 birds that call Ontario home.

Like the monkey in my previous upload, these Ring-Tailed Lemurs are walking free through the park too. Throughout the day they walk through the trees, but late in the afternoon they gather on the fields and form family groups. It was so nice to see all these families settling in for the night and socialize, like this mother who took some time to feed the youngsters.

Nepeta is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. The members of this group are known as catnip or catmint because of their famous effect on cats—nepeta pleasantly stimulates cats' pheromonic receptors, typically resulting in temporary euphoria. It can also induce mild euphoria in humans.[1]
The genus is native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It is now also common in North America.[2] Most of the species are herbaceous perennial plants, but some are annuals. They have sturdy stems with opposite heart-shaped, green to grayish-green leaves. The flowers are white, blue, pink or lilac and occur in several clusters toward the tip of the stems. The flowers are tubular and spotted with tiny purple dots.

Norwegian Forest cat is a strong, robust breed that developed in the harsh-wintered areas of Northern Europe. Because of their hearty winter coat, they tend to change appearance quite drastically between seasons. The Wegie sports a silky flowing coat that can come in a variety of colors. This combined with their deep emerald color eyes makes them quite attractive. Norwegian Forest kittens are slow to develop and may not be mature until four years of age.
The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, powerfully built cat with long hair, a full ruff, tufted ears and a bushy tail. The front legs are slightly shorter than the hind legs. It is a giant among cats, similar in size to the Maine Coon. The long outer coat is glossy and water-resistant, while the thick undercoat adds protection against the cold. The winter coat is even thicker than the summer one. Inevitably, this means a heavy moult once a year.
Norse legend describes this sturdy cat as mysterious and enchanting. Known in its native land as Norsk Skogskatt (Norwegian Forest Cat), its ancestors were Angora cats adopted by Viking sailors in the Near East to serve as rat-catchers, pets, and sometimes as ships' mascots.
Males are larger; females are considerably smaller. When showing these cats, the changing seasons must be taken into an account. The length and thickness of the fur vary considerably depending on the temperature. In summer, the only really long fur that remains is on the tail and the tufts in the ears and between the toes. The coat of the Norwegian Forest Cat is so dense that you need a generous amount of shampoo to make sure that the lather gets through the water-repellent guard hairs. The thicker hairs on the back make it almost waterproof. In winter, the undercoat is extremely thick.
Norwegian Forest Cat Personality The Norwegian is affectionate, confident, calm, and has a faithful nature. It loves the outdoors and is an efficient hunter. The "Wegie," as it is sometimes called, is hardy and self-sufficient and, if an outdoors cat, can endure temperatures of Norway's harsh northern climate.
Personality Norwegian Forest Cats love people and they are aggressive when they seek your attention. They do not like to be left alone for any length of time. They are highly intelligent and can be very rewarding companions as they are extremely friendly and playful. They are not your prototype lap cats.
Wegies, as they are sometimes called, clean themselves pretty well but still need weekly brushing and combing. Start combing at an early age. Norwegian Forest Cats get along very well with other cats and some dogs. When well socialized, the Norwegian Forest cat is very friendly and affectionate and is generally good with kids. They love to climb and frolic around the house. Their voice is a quiet meow. Wegies shed heavily in spring. A Norwegian forest Cat may look like a different cat after losing its long hair. Not to worry, it will grow back when the weather cools.
The pandemic has affected every aspect of our life. The little ones were the one of the most affected group as they were barred from playing with other children than their household. Here is my daughter trying to socialize with a statue of a child in a park. Although it look lovely, it also show how desperate these young ones are to socialize, play and enjoy with others.
On days when it's not raining, Rover the cat can usually be found lounging on the deck at Oysterville Sea Farms. We always stop to greet her on the way out.
