This large anaconda was hunted in an evangelizing mission near Puerto Ayacucho, Amazonas state, Venezuela. I calculate about 7.3 meters

Welcome to Shishangaan male lions thread. 
This thread is dedicated with the purpose of follow this coalition of four males born in July 2014 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

The Shishangaan coalition consist of 4 males including the adult white male lion (the only adult-white male lion in the wild) The Shishangaan 'young' males were born in July 2014 into the Shishagaan pride and were fathered by the Shishagaan males in Singita Lebombo. The Shishangaan coalition made up of 9 males at one point. Unfortunately, in October 2018, a coalition of nomad killed to four of the young Shishangaan males. The tragedy has left five of them alive and they've started their nomadic journey as 5. However, With a little throwback to two years ago more or less. The fifth Shishangaan young male disappeared, And only four of the nine reached the adulthood. Currently they're establising with the Semana pride in Kruger and they already mated with some females back in July. Which means that they already could have fathered their first litter of cubs. Without a doubt, these four beast are making their name known  by themselves in Kruger!

Helllo Community,

I was looking for some of my talented members, good at making Beautiful animal arts? I will need them in digital format ready to print.
Making images of Famous lion coalition, Single famous lion, Leopard, Tigers, Bear, Sea animal, Conservation messages, Nature importance etc...

Greetings and thanks for the reception on the forum


Since I'm working on something, I'm wondering if there's a list, literature that deals with which animals were in Europe in the period from 5000bc to 0 bc, ??

What I found is just prehistory and more recent times, there is nothing in between

Thanks and sorry in my bad English

I saw this lion on the internet and i was impressed by his black mane. Then i remembered a guy named nyamakunze aka big black and this guy looked very similar to him. Very similar dark mane and a little brown mane around cheeks. Is this the guy called big black or nyamakunze. I really want the pictures of big black as i saw one of his pics where i was unable to see his face.

I made this thread for the subject lion vs bull buffalo..
Can a male lion kill a bull buffalo or not?
Also lions predation on buffaloes..(we got a lot of clips and accounts)
So pls share all the proofs and accounts and predation of lions on buffaloes here..

Thanks, best wishes!!
Also you can share lion prides kill buffalo accounts too..
Also any intrection between both individuals

The entire body of my 6-year-old fur pet is covered in small scabs. It's not unbearable, but it's noticeable when you stroke her. I checked her and the other two cats for fleas but found none. Is there anyone else who has had a similar experience with their cat? I plan on taking her to the vet when I get off work this weekend (everything in my neighbourhood is closed tomorrow due to Labor Day, so I wouldn't take her then). My aunt says that this happened last year, and that she was instructed to wear a specific flea collar, but we recently moved, and as I previously said, I've thoroughly inspected all three cats for fleas. Please accept my thanks in advance for any ideas!!

Hello….. all wildlife lovers,

We all share an immense respect and fondness for the big cats,

As my handle name suggests, can you please share pics and videos of the direct male lineage of B2-Bamera-Bamerason.

Pls also enlighten me if another direct male lineage from B2 is alive.

Thanks.

The Killing of a Bull Muskox by a Single Wolf 

A wolf approaching the carcass of the bull muskox he had killed:

"Although there are many reports in the literature describing successful attacks of the wolf (Canis lupus) on muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), the following observation of a single, male wolf attacking and killing a lone bull muskox is, to my knowledge, unique. The killing was observed from a distance of approximately 1 mile, using a 15 x 60 spotting scope, during a study of the behaviour of muskoxen on Bathurst Island, Northwest Territories."

Cuttlefish exert self-control in a delay of gratification task

Abstract

The ability to exert self-control varies within and across taxa. Some species can exert self-control for several seconds whereas others, such as large-brained vertebrates, can tolerate delays of up to several minutes. Advanced self-control has been linked to better performance in cognitive tasks and has been hypothesized to evolve in response to specific socio-ecological pressures. These pressures are difficult to uncouple because previously studied species face similar socio-ecological challenges. Here, we investigate self-control and learning performance in cuttlefish, an invertebrate that is thought to have evolved under partially different pressures to previously studied vertebrates. To test self-control, cuttlefish were presented with a delay maintenance task, which measures an individual's ability to forgo immediate gratification and sustain a delay for a better but delayed reward. Cuttlefish maintained delay durations for up to 50–130 s. To test learning performance, we used a reversal-learning task, whereby cuttlefish were required to learn to associate the reward with one of two stimuli and then subsequently learn to associate the reward with the alternative stimulus. Cuttlefish that delayed gratification for longer had better learning performance. Our results demonstrate that cuttlefish can tolerate delays to obtain food of higher quality comparable to that of some large-brained vertebrates.
