American White Ibis, Eudocimus albus is a species of wading bird of the ibis family Threskiornithidae which occurs from the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States south through most of the New World tropics. It occurs in marshy wetlands and pools near the coast. It also occurs on mowed grass, lawns, and has become common in some city parks, where it can be found feeding alone or with other Ibis. It builds a stick nest in trees, bushes, or over water, and 2 to 5 eggs are typically laid. White ibises are monogamous and colonial, usually nesting in mixed colonies with other wading species. This ibis feeds by probing with its long, downcurved beak. Its diet consists of various fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as insects and small reptiles. Adults are 65 cm long with a 95 cm wingspan. They have all-white plumage except for black wingtips (visible in flight) and reddish bills and legs. The red bill blends into the face of breeding birds; non-breeding birds show a pink to red face. Juveniles are largely brown with duller bare parts; they are distinguished from the Glossy and White-faced Ibises by white underparts and rumps. Over all both sexes look alike. Like the other species of ibis, the White Ibis flies with neck and legs outstretched, often in long, loose lines. The song of the male is an advertising hunk-hunk-hunk-hunk. The female squeals. When feeding, the birds often give a soft, grunting croo, croo, croo as they forage.

This is a ruby red lacewing butterfly, and the way it had it’s proboscis inserted into the flower made me think of that moment when we first get a nice thick milkshake, and we are sucking hard on the straw, fighting against the frozen delight to extract it’s sweet creaminess!
I did this capture in “The Kruger National Park” South Africa. Must say, patience is the word if you want to get a “tung” capture in the wild !

Emperor Tamarin The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. This diurnal species walks or runs quadrupedally through the forest, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs. The diet of the Emperor Tamarin is similar to that of other tamarins. It is an omnivore, primarily eating fruits, insects and sap. When feeding on sap, the Emperor Tamarin latches on to the tree vertically with its claws dug into the bark of the tree. It also eats bird eggs and small vertebrates (such as tree frogs). Due to its small weight it can reach food at the far end of branches, which are not accessible to heavier animals.

Endangered cetaceans are marine mammals including Dolphins, Porpoises and Whales. The Blue Whale being the largest animal ever to have evolved on earth and one of the most tragic examples of over exploitation is the hunting of its flesh and valuable fats and oils. Dolphins are unique with communication, using body language and whistles, squawks, clicks, and other vocalizations. All are threatened by pollution and reduction of their food supply. / The ‘Fantasea Collection’ wildlife design portrays the beauty of the awesome Blue Whale, the frolicking and loving Dolphin and the serene Manatee while creating an awareness of all endangered marine mammals.
Two species of Zebra are endangered, Grevy’s and the Mountain Zebra. The Common Zebra is still numerous while the fourth kind of Zebra the Quagga became extinct in the late 1800’s. Zebras live in herds in the deserts and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. They spend most of their time ,eating grass. They protect themselves from predators by keeping together while at least one member of a herd remains alert to danger at all times. Their large ears rotate to locate sounds, and their night vision is as good as an owl’s. The female Zebra carries a single foal for a year and the newborn can stand within an hour after birth and begins eating grass in a few days. Each has a distinctive stripe pattern, in particular the Grevy’s Zebra and so has been hunted for its hide. Zebras face an uncertain future in the wild. They must compete with ranchers and farmers for grazing land and scarce water resources. Many Zebras have been killed for their meat and hides. / The ‘Exotica Collection’ wildlife design portrays the beauty of the striking Zebra surrounded by African proteas while creating an awareness of their plight.

Ophelia received an invitation from the riverside frangipanis to join them in a party. Upon reaching, she was surprised to find out that the frangipanis had thrown a party just for her, to celebrate these new friendship ties. They never had an owl as a friend and they were just as delighted as Ophelia to have found this new companionship. What hospitable flowers! Ophelia had never felt so loved before. “I certainly hope I get invited again!” Ophelia secretly wished ;D / / / You can view and buy my other “Frangipani Party” creations from my Zazzle Gallery: / /
