Snowy Owl has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22689055/205475036
A Snowy Owl perches on a slight rise in an open snowy field on a winter’s day east of Airdrie, Alberta, Canada. This species is often found on phone poles or fence posts, which are usually not that inspiring for photographs, so this setting felt more natural and akin to the northern tundra where these owls breed in summer.

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.
Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) resting amid the eucalyptus branches. She lives in the Australia Outback habitat of the San Diego Zoo, the largest koala colony and the most successful koala breeding program outside of Australia. Conservation status: Vulnerable

Global IUCN - Vulnerable - The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world and easily one of the most spectacular. It is an enormous bird weighing on average 1.5 kilograms (3.5 pounds) and is completely blue save its dark bill and bare yellow orbital ring and stripe at base of its lower mandible. It is completely dependent on the fruits of a number of palm species and has a necessarily massive bill to aid in the cracking of the tough exterior. Due to its dependence on palm fruit its range is regulated by the presence and abundance of its preferred species and is distributed in north central and south central Brazil into extreme north west Paraguay where it can be found in palm savannas, Mauritia palm stands, open dry woodland, gallery forest and the edge of humid lowland forest. doi.org/10.2173/bow.hyamac1.01

Young female cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) named "Maggie" who was born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Cheetah Breeding Center (part of the international Cheetah Breeding Center Coalition). Maggie now lives at the San Diego Zoo as an animal ambassador.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
One of a coalition of five male cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), sometimes called the 5 Musketeers or the Fast Five, that have been together since the Fall of 2016. This is a historic grouping because of its large number and consists of two brothers and three non related males. Together they are able to hold larger territory and bring down larger prey.

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.

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?

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae);
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. – Wikipedia

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.

Uncommon bird. Near endemic species. Vulnerable
Very tiny Owl = 15 cm, 6 inches
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 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.

Happy early Caturday!!! But late, because I discovered yesterday was International Cheetah Day Dec. 4, 2025.
The world’s fastest land animal is racing against extinction. Help us win the race! The global population of cheetah now numbers less than 7000 adult individuals. Currently on the IUCN red list as vulnerable.
Dr. Laurie Marker designated December 4th as International Cheetah Day. The annual celebration was set in remembrance of a cheetah cub named Khayam, that she raised at Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon. She then moved to Namibia and continued her work there.
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in North, Southern and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran.
It inhabits a variety of mostly arid habitats like dry forests, scrub forests, and savannahs.
The species suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching for the illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild.
Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures. - Wikipedia

Scientific name: Calopterx splendens.
The Banded demoiselle is one of the largest damselflies in the UK. It can usually be found flitting around vegetation of slow running streams, rivers, canals and ponds with muddy bottoms. The larvae live underwater amongst roots and vegetation for around two years until its emergence. They are quite vulnerable to water polution so their presence is usually a good indicator of water quality. Info: TVERC.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
The Monarch Butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm.
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn instinctive migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multigenerational return north. The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California, but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites, as well. (Wikipedia)

5+ month old cheetah cub (Acinonyx jubatus) explores his/her world. It is one of six cubs born on November 21, 2015, the largest litter ever delivered at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Cheetah Breeding Center. Four cubs are female and two are male. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is one of nine facilities in the Cheetah Breeding Center coalition. There are only 10,000 cheetahs left (with 10% in captive programs). Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Bearded Reedling - Panurus Biarmicus
Norfolk Titchwell
aka Bearded Tit. (M)
This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.
Often having to take grit in order to help digestion.
The bearded reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate other than eruptive or cold weather movements. It is vulnerable to hard winters, which may kill many birds. The English population of about 500 pairs is largely confined to the south and east with a small population in Leighton Moss in north Lancashire. In Ireland a handful of pairs breed in County Wexford. The largest single population in Great Britain is to be found in the reedbeds at the mouth of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where there may be in excess of 250 pairs.
Other Breeding areas include Norfolk and Somerset and Alkborough Flats, lincolnshire.
Population:
UK breeding:
630 pairs
Europe:
232 - 437,000 birds
Currently the Strange-tailed Tyrant largely is restricted to southern Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and western Uruguay, where it occupies tall grasslands, but the distribution formerly extended much farther north and east. In view of this range contraction, primarily due to habitat loss, the Red List conservation status of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is rated as Vulnerable.

Enjoy the Holiday Season with Friends #8532
As we approach the holiday season, take time to visit with a friend and share a meal. We are social creatures that thrive in the presence of others. Remember, to be thankful for what you have and treasure your friends both near and far.
Pictured above are two Galapagos Tortoises (Chelenoidis Nigra) enjoying a meal at Saint Augustine Alligator Farm. The Galapagos is the largest of all tortoises, which can reach lengths of five feet and weigh over 600 pounds! Characteristics include heavy limbs, long necks, and high domed dark colored (nigra) shells. As herbivores, they eat a wide variety of vegetation, including flowers, grasses, leaves, and even cactus.
The tortoises are endemic to the Galapagos Islands located in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, roughly 600 miles west of Ecuador. Status/ conservation lists them as ‘vulnerable’ while the biggest threats today comes from the introduction of non-native invasive species to the Islands, such as feral dogs, cats, and rats that prey upon young tortoises. Cattle and goats also compete with the larger tortoises for vegetation.
Galapagos tortoises are the longest living vertebrate, with an average life span of 100 years with the oldest living 152 years. This animal can go for nearly a year without food & water!
***Now, can you see the benefits of spending time with a dear friend or family members??? “May you enjoy your friends and family with the approaching Holiday Season!”
Factual information supplied by the Saint Augustine Alligator Farm.
Cheetahs are very much at risk and currently classified as 'vulnerable' with only about 7000 left in the wild. This is as a result of a variety of reasons including habitat loss, contact with humans, climate change and also the fact that babies have extremely low survival rates with some studies suggesting the figure is as low as 10%.
I was very fortunate to see a mother and three youngsters when I was in the Maasai Mara in Kenya on my last trip. The good news is that this mother's litter of three(one pictured here) all made it to adulthood. Unfortunately a while after I was in the area the mother, Kweli, was reported to have disappeared.

It's been a while since I posted one of my safari Leopards that I love so much (the Leopards, not my photos). I though the BnW might be appropriate here as this was a night sighting with the light coming from our guide's torch.
It's funny how you can suddenly feel very small when sitting in the back of an open-top jeep without sides in the pitch blackness of a South African night in the middle of the bush with no signs of humanity for many many kilometres. Then your guide shines a torch on a leopard mid-prowl, and she roars into the night. Whether in warning or anger or for help I don't know. Then the calls & cackles of hyenas come answering back, in number. You feel very alive, and vulnerable. And thrilled to be taking the scene in with all your senses, sight, smell, sound and the "feel" of the moment. Wondrous memories of a wondrous time for me.
Have a great weekend out there everyone and watch out for those leopards & hyenas.
