La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

The Nubian ibex is a desert-dwelling goat species found in mountainous areas of northern and northeast Africa, and the Middle East. It was historically considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine ibex (C. ibex), but is now considered a distinct species. The wild population is estimated at 4,500 mature individuals, and it is classified as vulnerable. Males begin growing a beard at age 2 or 3, which continues to grow longer and darker as they age. During the autumn breeding season, mature males grow a "rutting fur" on their breast and sides which is very dark brown. Nubian ibex live in rough, dry, mountainous terrain, where they eat mainly grasses and leaves, especially from Acacia trees. (Wikipedia)

We were driving into the park when we saw something mysterious on the ridge. It turned out to be the horns of this magnificent animal. Slowly, the horns grew larger as he made his way up the back side of the ridge. At the top, he surveyed his kingdom and his family. Based on descriptions, he is likely a full adult male. Further down was a younger male and several females. What a treat :-)

This photo was taken on the way to Stuormuorkkegårttje, a beautiful waterfall in the Stora Sjöfallets National Park in Sweden.
Due to the wooden planks the hike is very easy. A further benefit is the protection of the vulnerable arctic fauna.
The Greek Tortoise, also known commonly as the spur-thighed tortoise, is a species of tortoise in the family Testudinidae. It is one of five species of Mediterranean tortoises (genera Testudo and Agrionemys).
The Greek tortoise is a very long-lived animal, achieving a lifespan upwards of 125 years, with some unverified reports up to 200 years.
Greek tortoises are also commonly kept as pets, as they have an easy-going personality. (Wikipedia)

So interesting to see this tortoise just wandering down the trail. In Canada, at least where I live, we only have turtles.

Взгляни, как нежен роз бутон. Ещё он спит и видит сон, Ещё он юн, раним и свеж, И полон жизни и надежд. В брильянтах рос замрёт туман, Рассеет первый луч обман. Мальчишка-ветер свой кураж, Давно забыл. И словно страж, Качает бережно альков – Бутон волшебных лепестков. Но в новый день спешит рассвет, Роз раскрывается букет, Да, будет он благословен, Мир превращая наш в эдем...........Look how delicate the rosebud is. He also sleeps and dreams, He is still young, vulnerable and fresh, And full of life and hope. The fog will freeze in the diamonds, The first ray of deception will disperse. The boy is the wind of his courage, He has long forgotten. And like a guardian, He gently Shakes the alcove – A Bud of magic petals. But on a new day, the dawn is in a hurry, a bouquet of Roses opens, Yes, he will be blessed, turning our world into Eden..

The beautiful maiden pink, Dianthus deltoides, is a small, perennial wildflower now on the Amber list as vulnerable because of habitat loss caused by overgrazing.
It grows on dry, lime-rich grassy banks and sand dunes in southeast Scotland, and seems to be thriving at St Cyrus National Nature Reserve, where it is monitored. I bought some seeds from Scotia Seeds, and it's now also thriving in a pot in my garden!
I love their serrated petals and the blue pollen.

The anticipation of waiting for you, kneeling, my eyes closed beneath the crimson cloth. Your collar firm around my neck. The equipment waiting to be used. Cuffs to bind me against the apparatus. Completely vulnerable. Sensitive to every movement. Your scent surrounds me, the clip of your shoes on the wooden floor familiar, reassuring. They cause deep tension within me for I am anticipating your wants, your needs, your desires. I am displayed before you...wanting to please you, make you smile, make you proud of how I come undone to the slightest of your touches. Your finger traces along the top of the collar. I inhale sharply. The anticipation is over, our playtime is about to begin.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Source Wikipedia

The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls reaching a shoulder height of up to 4 m (13 ft). Both sexes have tusks, which erupt when they are 1–3 years old and grow throughout life.
It is distributed across 37 African countries and inhabits forests, grasslands and woodlands, wetlands and agricultural land. It is a social mammal, traveling in herds composed of cows and their offspring. Adult bulls usually live alone or in small bachelor groups. It is a herbivore, feeding on grasses, creepers, herbs, leaves and bark.
Since 2004, it has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened foremost by habitat destruction, and in parts of its range also by poaching for meat and ivory.
They can weigh 7 t (7.7 short tons). The heaviest male on record weighed 10.4 t (11.5 short tons) and was shot in 1974 in Angola. Females are much smaller at about 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall at the shoulder and up to 4 t (4.4 short tons) in weight. – Wikipedia

Went for a walk along the Grand Western Canal today and came across this little beauty. Unfortunately she did not like bright bluse inflatable canoes.
Vulnerable - In 1988 the total population of the species was estimated to be only 2500 individuals. It is threatened with extinction due to the destruction of its habitats and illegal trade. In this year of 2014 the great blue macaw climbed one position in the IUCN red list, now being classified as "vulnerable" (VU).
This wild one was at the trees of Porto Jofre Hotel, Pantanal.
Happy Blue Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Been in SL since 2007.
This August 22nd I'll be 12 years in this world that I live in, just like I live in my RL. No lies at all!
I can't accept one simple lie - either in SL or in RL.
So, we met in this metaverse reality, like eight years ago?
You were never easy, I was never easy.
I'm not easy at all and you never left. Kept coming back to me, with your own truth and me with mine.
This is probably the last image we take ...
... before we meet in person!!
I only have to be grateful to you, the one who lever left. The only person who never left me, despite everything I carry - good or bad, you always believed in me, trusted me. This is priceless in life, either real or "imaginary".
Can't wait to see you!
This time, I know I'll be completely vulnerable.
Thank you M!

The black lemur (Eulemur macaco) is a species of lemur from the family Lemuridae. Like all lemurs, it is endemic to Madagascar. Elevated to species status by Mittermeier et al. in 2008, Eulemur macaco, the black lemur, has brown or orange eyes, and ear tufts.
It lives in northwest Madagascar. The black lemur occurs in moist forests in the Sambirano region of Madagascar and on nearby islands.
The black lemur primarily eats fruit, which makes up an estimated 78% of its diet. The ripeness of this fruit is vital to the lemur's diet. Other foods eaten include flowers, leaves, fungi, some invertebrates and, especially during the dry season, nectar.
The black lemur lives in both primary and secondary forest. It is active both during the day and at night. It forages in both the upper and middle canopy, especially at night, and during the day it also forages in the understory. In degraded habitats, it also forages on the ground and may even eat soil. Lemur listed with the IUCN as vulnerable. – Wikipedia
