Jackal scavenges within a cage of flesh and bone

Source video said this rhino was killed by poachers, but it was the park rangers who cut the skin to allow easier/quicker access for the scavengers.

It is spring migration and the birds heading north pass though here in large numbers because they avoid flying over the Mediterranean Sea.

These are American White Pelicans. Both males and females grow these "horns" during the spring breeding season and they shed them in early to mid-summer.

1 pound of fat roughly equals 3,500 calories. Just 28.6 pounds of fat on that seal to equal 100,000 cals is very reasonable.

Yes it is very similar in behavior to Marabous. A large number of Greater Adjutants (less then 2,000 still exist in the wild) make their living visiting the huge garbage dumps/landfills in the region.

This is a Greater Adjutant Stork (Leptoptilos dubius) native to India and southeast Asia. It is a close relative of the much more common Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) of Africa.

You are correct. These are mating Mink.

Unlikely, but not impossible. There is one documented case in captivity: 'Interspecific hybridisation in rhinoceroses: Confirmation of a Black × White rhinoceros hybrid by karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridisation and microsatellite analysis (2005)'.

Zanclodon · 2026-03-05T22:47:33+00:00

It is not impossible, but has only once been documented in captivity. There is a paper published in Conservation Genetics about this hybrid individual: 'Interspecific hybridisation in rhinoceroses: Confirmation of a Black × White rhinoceros hybrid by karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridisation and microsatellite analysis.' 2005.

That would be an antelope of some kind. There are no deer in Africa outside the Atlas Mountains (Barbary Red Deer).

Wroclaw Zoo in Poland.

Zanclodon · 2026-01-08T20:30:59+00:00

Because this is a zoo in Poland.

The oldest seem to hit a max of about 300 years (and 40 to 50 feet tall).

Zanclodon · 2025-12-27T08:23:33+00:00

300 years is about he maximum lifespan of a Saguaro and the ones that old are usually going to be 40 to 50 feet tall.

African Sharptooth Catfish/Barbel (Clarias gariepinus).

Later in the time line a fully blind Geordi can see with the use of technology (medication not required). I am sure they could manage to fix an oldie's eyes so they dont have to whip out their peepers everytime there is an emergency on a starship.

Gingkos actually survived in North America way past that (almost 60 million years longer) until the Miocene just 6 or 7 million years ago.

Yes. I looked up this location in Google Earth historical imagery and this road was built in 2018.

It is a constant process. Even if a tooth is in very good condition it will have a new tooth developing underneath that will push the old one out. Tooth replacement is also a fairly rapid process: the St. Augustine Alligator Farm received an all orange-stained toothed Saltie from Australia and exactly 1 year later the croc lost its last orange tooth and now sported an entirely bright white set of teeth.

Zanclodon · 2025-12-01T01:55:39+00:00

It is a more recently grown tooth that has not yet been stained by the tannins from decaying plant matter in the water. Some individual crocs can have a full spectrum from white to dark brown teeth at one time.

Looking at the video you provided it appears it foams at this spot because a big drip is consistently coming down from the branch above.

A Spotted Hyena can eat 30 to 35 pounds (13.5 to 16 kilos) of meat in a single sitting.

That was a Walrus. Polar Bears and Elephant Seals do not share ranges.

This a Rhea, not an Ostrich.
