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

A vulnerable N&W cantilever stands guarding the single crossover at Webster, Virginia on a warm spring evening. Get your photos of these CPLs while you can, they're going fast.
I wonder what it had spotted....
Redshank
Tringa totanus
Distinctive with its red 'shanks' (or legs) this noisy wader is both a common breeder and a winter visitor.
In the breeding season Redshank mostly breed in lowland wet grassland sites, with pairs nesting close together to gain benefits from communal territorial defence. Once widespread across the country, BTO monitoring shows their distribution is becoming increasingly fragmented as numbers have fallen rapidly in response to changing agricultural practices.
In common with all waders, Redshank chicks are able to walk and feed almost as soon as they leave the nest. However, this makes them vulnerable to predators and they need areas of tall vegetation to hide in, close to damper patches where they can find invertebrate food.
Exploring underneath the iconic Santa Monica Pier I discovered a mysterious place flooded with lights and sounds breaking through slats in the boards from the bustling world above... and yet strangely peaceful and serene in contrast. Such a marked difference from the world famous place it supports.
It makes me think. Our life is like the pier... to some we show only the top (Facebook?); The vacations, new cars, promotions, awards, and honors. We present the glamour and the fun. What we fail to do is to show the rest... the stuff that supports all those moments; 2 am wake up calls, hospital visits, unexpected layoffs, stubbed toes and late night tears.
The older I get the more I value the underbelly of the pier. I am so accustomed to posting pictures of the famous ferris wheel, however, that I find it hard to show the tar wrapped pillars below. Though it requires vulnerability and can be ugly it is often where we see God's best work.
The Chestnut Wood Quail, a species that has come under threat due to habitat loss and climate change. I was so fortunate to be able to see a family of five of these elusive little birds
Sometime when you're not feeling yourself you wish that you can go to sleep so time will fly by and you wake to sunshine and a brand new day!!
You’ve seen me at my hardest point

Chañaral de Aceituno
Región de Atacama
Chile
vulnerabile è il piviere tortolino quando lascia la prateria alpina che conosce e si affida al cielo.
con l’approssimarsi dell’autunno, il suo viaggio riprende, abbandona i paesaggi ormai freddi e silenziosi per dirigersi verso luoghi più caldi.
nel volo porta con sé la memoria delle montagne, dei prati e delle giornate d’estate.
è un viaggio lungo, fatto di vento, distanza e incertezza.
eppure, proprio nella sua vulnerabilità, trova la forza di partire.
le sue piccole ali attraversano il cielo seguendo un istinto antico, invisibile, che lo conduce verso terre lontane.
parte perché deve farlo, perché la natura lo chiama, e mentre scompare all’orizzonte, ricorda che essere vulnerabili non significa essere deboli, significa avere il coraggio di affidarsi al viaggio, anche quando non si conosce la strada.
io sono tornato a salutare lui ed i suoi compagni di viaggio.

la Natura che si fa Poesia - scattare foto sembrava quasi diminuire tempo all'esigenza, alla necessità e alla passione di ammirare ciò che mi circondava!
non cercavo nulla, se non quel tipo di silenzio che solo le Montagne sanno offrire!

osservare tutto questo è un dono, innAMÒRarsene una ricchezza!
observing nature is a rare gift. for sure, falling in love with it is a treasure worth even more!
avoir le don d’observer la nature est un immense cadeau.
en tomber amoureux représente une richesse encore bien plus grande!

Milpies / Milipede
El Alcimobolus domingensis es una especie de milpiés de gran tamaño, endémica de la isla de La Española (República Dominicana y Haití). Es un miembro destacado de la fauna de artrópodos del Caribe, conocido por su robustez y su papel vital en la descomposición de materia orgánica.
Clasificación Científica
Reino: Animalia
Filo: Arthropoda
Clase: Diplopoda (Milpiés)
Orden: Spirobolida
Familia: Rhinocricidae
Género: Alcimobolus
Especie: Alcimobolus domingensis
Descripción Física
Cuerpo: Tiene una forma cilíndrica y alargada, compuesta por numerosos segmentos endurecidos (diplosegmentos).
Coloración: Suele presentar tonos oscuros, que varían desde el marrón chocolate hasta el negro brillante, a menudo con anillos o bordes de color más claro (rojizo o amarillento) en cada segmento.
Tamaño: Es uno de los milpiés más grandes de la región, pudiendo alcanzar longitudes de entre 10 y 15 cm o más.
Patas y Antenas: Posee dos pares de patas cortas por cada segmento del cuerpo (característica de los diplópodos). Sus antenas son cortas y se utilizan principalmente para "tantear" el terreno y detectar humedad.
Hábitat y Distribución
Endemismo: Es exclusivo de La Española.
Entorno: Habita en ambientes húmedos y sombreados, como bosques tropicales, selvas húmedas y zonas de hojarasca densa. Es común encontrarlo bajo troncos en descomposición, rocas o enterrado en suelo rico en humus.
Comportamiento y Ecología
Alimentación: Es un detritívoro. Se alimenta de materia orgánica vegetal en descomposición (hojas secas, madera podrida), ayudando a reciclar nutrientes en el ecosistema del bosque.
Defensa: Al sentirse amenazado, se enrolla en una espiral apretada para proteger su parte inferior blanda. Además, como muchos Rhinocricidae, puede secretar un líquido irritante y de olor fuerte (quinonas) a través de poros laterales para ahuyentar a los depredadores.
Actividad: Son mayoritariamente nocturnos o activos después de las lluvias, cuando la humedad ambiental es alta.
====+ENGLISH+=====
The Alcimobolus domingensis is a large species of millipede endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti). Belonging to the family of "round-backed" millipedes, it is a vital part of the Caribbean forest ecosystem.
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Diplopoda (Millipedes)
Order: Spirobolida
Family: Rhinocricidae
Genus: Alcimobolus
Species: Alcimobolus domingensis
Physical Description
Body: It features a robust, cylindrical body composed of numerous hard segments (diplosegments).
Coloration: Typically shows a deep chocolate brown to glossy black base color. Many specimens exhibit thin, contrasting reddish or yellowish bands at the joints of each segment.
Size: This is one of the larger millipedes in the region, often reaching lengths of 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches).
Legs: Like all members of the class Diplopoda, it has two pairs of legs per body segment. The legs are relatively short and brownish.
Habitat and Distribution:
Endemism: It is strictly endemic to Hispaniola.
Environment: It thrives in humid, shaded environments such as tropical rainforests, broadleaf forests, and damp caves. It is commonly found hidden under rotting logs, large rocks, or buried deep within leaf litter where moisture levels are high.
Behavior and Ecology
Diet: It is a detritivore. It plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by consuming decaying plant matter, breaking it down into nutrient-rich soil.
Defensive Tactics:
Coiling: When threatened, it rolls into a tight, protective spiral to shield its vulnerable underside.
Chemical Secretions: Like many Rhinocricidae, it can excrete a pungent, staining liquid (quinones) from lateral pores. This fluid can irritate the skin or eyes of potential predators.
Activity: Primarily nocturnal or active during periods of high humidity following heavy rainfall.

Milpies-6681
On the morning of June 10, the animal care team released 14 live bass into the polar bear's main pool and a bear party followed. All three were in the wagter and all were successful in making multiple catches.
This was the final release of fish (6 of 6) funded by the 2018 Ocelots Grants Program Awards. It's been fabulous enrichments for the bears and for those of us who enjoy watching them.
This is 24 year old Chinook (Ursus maritimus) preparing to eat another of her catches. She often uses her large paws as a plate.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
I've had this capture in my head for a long time, and once a misty morning arrived I took myself to this lane and waited for someone to pass by. I waited until the guy in this image was just starting to fade into the mist before starting my captures. My aim was to capture both the solitude of a lone figure in the mist, and the vulnerability of a single person compared with the greatness of nature towering above, and framing the image. The ethereal light was just an added bonus.
Made it into the 'Best of the D-Photo Flickr group'.
