It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change.

Caught the Wild Thing ready to strike at something behind that tree. This is a feral cat so it's basically both predator and prey trying to survive where the wild things live.

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).

This pair of Whooping Cranes epitomize survival and they have become a symbol to me over the years that it is possible to exist in spite of difficult circumstances. When I was diagnosed with cancer with no cure I crumbled on the inside while trying to appear strong on the outside. It took a very long while to grasp the meaning of survivor. I’m still here and so are these whooping cranes even after their species was on the brink of extinction. To honor their strength and mine I make the annual trek to spend time with them. They stand together wearing transmitters for their well being to be monitored just as I have regular appointments for the oncology part of my life. Before each appointment there’s a quiet anxiety that you try and push down wondering if the other shoe will drop this time. My latest scan was encouraging after a sideways detour in 2021. I am grateful for being able to see the cranes this year and grateful for the support and care of my medical team as well as faith, family and friends and hope and pray we will meet up again next year.
But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy

Hey y'all. It's been awhile for me on Flickr these days. Just like this tree I've been hit with some health issues. I'm thankful for all of you and look forward to seeing your amazing images.
In pursuit of sensations but also go hunting to feed my tribe :D

Northern Pig-tailed Macaque / সিংহ বানর / কুলু বানর
-
The Northern Pig-tailed Macaque is an endangered species, listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. I photographed them in a reserve forest in Bangladesh last December. I was waiting to photograph a few species of birds near a waterbody and found them as they came to drink. This unusual pose of these two macaques drinking water while hanging upside down looks interesting. It seems like they are telling us that their fate of survival is hanging on a narrow line like that fragile branch that they are hanging on. Are we getting the message they are conveying?

Now, normally I am a fan of beautiful natural images of birds in their natural habitat. This image to me represents the grit of survival. A female or juv Snowy on a pier with the Hamilton steelworks in the distant background. This environment is the farthest thing from the artic tundra and yet, here they are, surviving.
Who will manage longer: financially stricken department store Karstadt or the tree? Bets are taken now.

HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen, HNLMS Schorpioen, Dutch Navy Museum, Dan Helder
If you admire stories of unlikely survival like I do, the history of the Abraham Crijnssen is fascinating, and also an example of the ingenuity which is common throughout Dutch history. This ship, like the other ships of the Dutch East Indies surface fleet that attempted to defend Java in February 1942, should be at the bottom of the Java Sea right now, except for the crafty if unconventional ingenuity of its captain -- who took the game of Dress Up to a whole new level...
The Battle of the Java Sea was a horrific disaster for the Allies, who lost 10 major ships and 2300 sailors. The Imperial Japanese Navy only lost 36 sailors, no ships. In the aftermath and fall of Java, the Abraham Crijnssen was ordered to retreat to Australia, a perilous week-long trip which would leave the ship, which was slow and lacked modern air defenses, an easy target for air strikes. Imperial Navy aircraft had already sunk many Allied ships at the time. Entrusted with the lives of 10 officers, 48 sailors and a female nurse, the captain knew that to simply sail out into the open toward Australia was a death sentence. So he came up with a wild but clever plan: an island is an island is an island...and the Java Sea around Malaysia and Indonesia has well over 18,000 of them. Why not look like one?
He sailed immediately for the nearest island, had his crew cut down as much foliage as possible, and then proceeded to cover the entire surface area of the 184 foot long ship with foliage. What metal the crew couldn't conceal, they painted to look like rocks. Then, they sat...until night. Knowing that the Abraham Crijnssen would leave a visible wake, the captain could only sail her at night. During daylight, the ship was parked close in to "other" larger islands, immobile. This must have been incredibly nerve-wracking, especially as aircraft were heard overhead. Yet in spite of how crazy this sounds, the Abraham Crijnssen pulled safely into Fremantle, Australia eight days later, the only Dutch ship of her class to survive the invasion. Don't believe me? See for yourself:

The ship behind the Crijnssen, the HNLMS Schorpioen, an armored ram from the 1860s, is only interesting from its unique survival from the scrapyard, a relic of the age between sail and steam.
While visiting a wonderful friend in Den Helder, he took me to see the Abraham Crijnssen and the interesting Dutch Navy Museum. Thank you for the visit Ralph!

Lo que vemos en la imagen es a una hembra adulta de Orthetrum trinacria que ha capturado a una hembra de Diplacodes lefebvrii y se la está zampando.
¿El título? Es más una suposición que una certeza. Si nos fijamos, la hembra atacada está soltando huevos y puede ser debido a las contracciones que sufre su cuerpo o a una herramienta de supervivencia de sus huevos al expulsarlos antes de ser consumidos por el atacante.
Fue una escena muy curiosa que contemplé junto a Teo.

What we see in the image is an adult female Orthetrum trinacria that has captured a female Diplacodes lefebvrii and is eating it.
Title? It is more of an assumption than a certainty. If we look closely, the attacked female is releasing eggs and it may be due to the contractions that her body suffers or to a survival tool of her eggs by expelling them before being consumed by the attacker.
It was a very curious scene that I saw with Teo.
