When a routine #drone monitoring captures this beautiful moment in our national #park; a small #rhino calf wallowing under the protection of #mother.
Micro drones are used to monitor the #habitat, especially the locations which are remote. Rhino are one of the most vulnerable species, to very well networked poaching groups. Their horns are considered as aphrodisiacs and fetch huge money in international markets.
So all kind of measures are adopted to protect them. Micro drones are used at height to monitor and zoom features are used to record.
Rhinoceros wallow in mud to cool their massive bodies and protect their sensitive skin from the sun. The mud also acts as a natural shield, helping them get rid of parasites like ticks and biting insects.

Los elefantes gemelos son muy raros y ocurren solo en aproximadamente el 1% de todos los nacimientos de su especie.
Además de ser increíblemente inusuales, el nacimiento de elefantes gemelos conlleva grandes desafíos biológicos y de supervivencia.
Existe un gran peligro para la madre y las crías, debido al enorme tamaño de un elefante bebé al nacer (alrededor de 100 kg), un embarazo doble ejerce una presión extrema sobre el cuerpo de la madre.
La madre elefante suele tener dificultades para producir suficiente leche para alimentar a dos crías al mismo tiempo, lo que reduce drásticamente las probabilidades de supervivencia del segundo gemelo.
La manada entera debe coordinarse mucho más para proteger a dos crías vulnerables de los depredadores al mismo tiempo.
Debido a esto, los pocos casos documentados donde ambos gemelos logran sobrevivir hasta la edad adulta son considerados verdaderos milagros de la naturaleza y eventos de gran interés científico.

🎉 NUTMEG’S FREEDOM RIDE 🎉
Nutmeg was one of the most overlooked dogs at the shelter, and she became one of the longest residents.
Her family had tearfully surrendered her.
Week after week, month after month, she waited for someone to see her. Someone to choose her....
Then... this amazing thing happened ❣️
Sometimes, it does take a village !

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces free pet food at 22 city food pantries starting Oct 19 to help struggling families keep their pets
“No New Yorker should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pets. Keeping families together means keeping pets at home, too”

Being in your 50s is honestly hilarious. 😂
One friend is a grandma, another still has a 10-year-old at home. One is celebrating 25 years of marriage, while another is dating someone who’s 25. One looks like they haven’t aged since 35, and another threw their back out just by sneezing.
Some are planning retirement, others are starting over after divorce. Some are becoming empty nesters, while others are still attending school meetings and making lunches. Some are booking cruises, others are discovering dating apps for the first time.
Half of us are saying, “Life is just getting started!” while the other half need three business days to recover from sleeping in the wrong position.
We’re all the same age, yet somehow living completely different lives. 😂
Nobody warned us that our 50s would look this chaotic, unpredictable, and entertaining. Honestly, we deserve a group discount on therapy, multivitamins, and heating pads. 😭

Not one of the 16 graphs showing Earth's planetary vital signs is moving in the right direction. Instead, they all point to an acceleration of global climate breakdown: Greenhouse gases, ocean heat, and sea levels are surging, while glaciers, ice sheets, and reflectivity plunge. 7 vital signs are at record extremes.
This is not a warning for the future, it is a diagnosis of the present
Phase out fossil fuels now

FEAR OR RESPECT? THIS MAN CHOSE RESPECT.
Most people would run the other way if they saw a stingray this size. This man got down on his knees, carefully removed a fishing hook from its mouth, and returned it to the ocean.
Stingrays can be dangerous when threatened, but they’re not out looking to hurt people.
What impressed me wasn’t just his courage. It was his patience and compassion for a creature that couldn’t help itself.
Sometimes respecting nature means helping it survive, not fearing it.

NIK NAZMI CASE
On the alleged khalwat case involving Nik Nazmi, my position is clear: politicians are human beings. They do not surrender their right to privacy when they enter politics.
Nik Nazmi has acknowledged his detention and denied any improper conduct. An arrest is not a conviction, and being alone with someone does not establish a sexual relationship. People should stop filling the gaps with their own imagination.
I have consistently opposed moral policing and the intrusion of religious authorities into people’s private lives. My principle does not change according to someone’s party, religion or whether I agree with their politics. Being in PBM does not prevent me from defending someone in Bersama. Rights belong to everyone.
Unless there is coercion, abuse, exploitation, misuse of public resources or actual harm, what adults do in private should be their business. Any personal obligations to a spouse or family are theirs to address. The public is not entitled to turn their pain into entertainment.
Some say, “He should have known better. He has enemies. There are cameras and spies everywhere.”
But why should we accept a society where people must live in fear of being watched, exposed and publicly humiliated? Political vulnerability does not make an invasion of privacy acceptable. Nor does an approaching election erase someone’s dignity.
I am not claiming to know what happened behind closed doors. Neither do you. That is precisely why speculation and moral grandstanding should stop.
We should scrutinise politicians fiercely over corruption, abuse of power, public spending, their policies and their treatment of the people. Public accountability matters. So does knowing where public authority should end.
I want a government that protects our rights, respects our freedom of conscience and delivers justice. I do not want a government policing our private lives in the name of religion.
Mind your own business is sometimes exactly the advice society needs to hear.
We elect politicians to govern the country. We do not own their private lives.

There is no other material on earth that can do what a fleece does, and it grows on an animal that eats grass.
It keeps a sheep alive on a Welsh hill in February, in sleet, with no shelter.
It keeps a Bedouin cool in the Sahara in August.
It keeps a person warm when it is soaked through, which is why mountaineers wore it to the top of Everest.
It will not burn. Put a match to it and it chars and goes out, which is why it lines aircraft seats and theatre curtains.
It absorbs a third of its weight in sweat and gives off heat while it does it.
It blocks the sun. A wool shirt has the ultraviolet rating of a decent sunscreen.
It does not smell. The surface stays too dry for the bacteria that make a shirt stink.
It stretches a third of its length and springs back, so a sock holds its shape for years.
It stops sound. Recording studios and classrooms line the walls with it.
It stops cold in a loft as well as fibreglass does, without the itch.
It soaks up oil, which is why the mats laid on spills are made of it.
It dyes deeper than anything, which is why a Persian rug is still red after 300 years.
It felts into a tent that a Mongolian family lives in through a minus 40 winter.
And when it finally wears out, it rots into fertiliser, and the next sheep eats the grass it grew.
Every one of those jobs now has a synthetic doing it worse.
The sheep had all of them covered before the chemist was born, and it does it again every spring for nothing.
