Do wild turkeys sleep anywhere other than where this page says they do? It says only in trees and on the ground only while nesting. What about during a tornado or hurricane?

I'm starting this thread for anyone to post pictures of animals showing their teeth for whatever reason (threat display, yawning....), because this kind of pic is cool, and I want to use them as drawing reference :)
I dont have much myself but here are a few ones

Has anybody been to these places and have recommendations for places to stay.  I intend to do this the right way if I go.  I've looked at Mala Mala and Londolozi for Sabi Sands to stay, and intend on staying there for 3 or 4 days if possible.  Massai Mara is another intriguing possibility, but curious what camps/resorts I should look to.  Also, if there is anybody that has been there, and had a good experience at a particular lodge.

Lonesome George is a 39 year old male Bigg's transient killer whale.

Family

He was first sighted in the late 1990’s in the company of another young male. CA165 has never been observed to have a close connection with any matriline or specific group of killer whales, leading researchers to believe he is an orphan or has broken off from his family group. However, he’s often seen traveling with another potentially orphaned male, CA171B Fatfin.

Physical Appearance

George is one of the biggest killer whales ever recorded, with an estimated length of 30-33 feet. He is a large, round whale, with a dorsal fin towering at a possible 6.5 feet in height. His dorsal is noticeably wobbly due to its sheer height. The very tip curls slightly to his right side in a hook shape.

[b]What would happen if you opened a portal out of nowhere in the ocean and transported all the world's type A killer whales to the Cretaceous period?[/b]

Today I would like to share with you 10 fascinating facts about the Indian rhino, one of the most impressive and unique creatures on our planet.

1. The Indian rhino, also known as the greater one-horned rhino, is the largest of the rhino species found in Asia.
2. These rhinos are primarily found in India and Nepal, and they are usually found in grasslands, swamps, and forested areas.
3. Indian rhinos can weigh up to 2,700 kg and can grow up to 2 meters tall at the shoulder. Imagine standing next to such a magnificent animal!
4. The Indian rhino has a single horn, which can grow up to 25 inches long, and is made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and nails.
5. Indian rhinos are herbivores and feed on grasses, leaves, and fruits. They can consume up to 150 pounds of food a day!
6. They have a lifespan of around 40-50 years in the wild. Just like us, they can live a long and fulfilling life.
7. The Indian rhino has a prehensile upper lip that allows it to grasp and pull vegetation. This is a unique feature that sets it apart from other rhino species.
8. Indian rhinos have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell and hearing. They use their sense of smell to locate food and avoid predators.
9. Unlike most other rhinos, Indian rhinos love to wallow in mud and water, which helps them to cool down and protect themselves from insects and parasites.
10. The Indian rhino was once on the brink of extinction, with only a few dozen individuals left in the early 1900s. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers have increased, and they are now classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. This serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the impact they can have on preserving endangered species.

In conclusion, the Indian rhino is truly an amazing animal, and we must continue to work towards protecting and preserving them for future generations to come.

I though it would be a good idea if we would make separate topic, constantly updated for to keep on current numbers and status different prides has. In that we would share informations on changes in numbers within the prides. Kinda a bit similar thread to "map of sabi sands coalitions and prides: thread.


Starting of:

Prides of Thornybush:

Of course similar lists for Manyelati, Timabavati and Sabi Sands prides should follow done by either me or some other forum member(s) (of course every input is most welcome). Also if there is some mistake on either list then share your own informations in order to fix every wrong info that might or already may have happened on some list.

The beautiful large hill town where nature is at its very best is Coorg, Karnataka. It has a lot to offer for travelers like woody slopes, sprawling coffee plantations, alluring peaks, evergreen timber forests with a cool climate, scenic attractions, and adventurous terrain. There are some things to keep in mind before planning a vacation to Coorg.
Here we list some useful tips before heading to Coorg.
[b]Know the best time to visit[/b]
While planning for a vacation to Coorg think about the monsoon & months when you are visiting. The best time to travel to Coorg is from [b]October to May[/b]. The temperature will be not too hot or too cold, which is good for travel. From [b]June to September is romantic[/b] & heaven for honeymooners From November to January the temperature during nighttime drops gradually. So carry warm clothes with you when you travel.
[b]Book a best homestay or resort[/b]
Before planning for a vacation to Coorg, research for the good hotels, homestays, or resorts in Coorg. There are a huge number of resorts in Coorg. Take caution before booking resorts online.
1. Choose a resort property [b]that offers the best facilities[/b] like the best premium rooms, delicious food, free wifi, jeep safari, outdoor games, and children’s play area, spa & more.
2. Check their [b]website, reviews & ratings, get[/b] contact numbers, and talk to property managers before booking.
3. Check the security of homestays or resorts before booking.
4. Book resorts or homestays that are in decent places and nearby to Madikeri town.
[b]Keep a sufficient amount of cash[/b]
Since it is a large hill station, finding ATMs or Banks is not easy. Very few banks and ATMs are available in Madikeri. So [b]keep an adequate amount of hard cash[/b] in hand for expenses like shopping, buying things in local shops. It is hard to pay in mobile too since there will be no network coverage in the largest hill stations.
[b]Be conscious on the roads[/b]
One of the important tips is to be cautious about driving on the roads of hill stations like Coorg.[b] Avoid traveling at night[/b] or travel with caution during winter after 3 PM as there will be a misty fog climate and the roads will not be clear. A major reason for this is roads in this region are very narrow and driving at night is very risky. [b]Carry important items[/b] like medical kit, water, umbrella, torchlight, fruits, etc. for any emergency purpose
[b]Hire a private vehicle[/b]
If you are coming with friends or family as a group, hiring a private vehicle on rent from Bangalore, Mysore, or Mangalore to Coorg will be the best option as getting a vehicle from the local town is not easy especially on the long weekends or peak tourist seasons.
These are the most important things to be noted before planning to Coorg. Another important thing is smoking in the public is not allowed in Coorg, Usage of plastics is not allowed, respect the locals & their culture and maintain peace while on the roads avoid noise.
