Ovibos moschatus
Photo and information credits: Brice PETIT Photography Round one : Fight Dovrefjell National Park Norway It's the end of the day, the light becomes grazing and among the small group of muskoxen who stands in front of us, two males decide to make a brief face to face with a header before they goes away each one on its side. One wonder though how animals of such weight and power remains at the heart of harsh Norwegian winter with for only food some dried frozen grasses. Another miracle of nature whose capacity to adapt, if we give it time, should only surprise and inspire us.  *This image is copyright of its original author
Could this be a case of a African Cape Buffalo mourning the loss of a loved one?

The Two Gems .. Within the massive popularity of carnivores , predators , the megaherbivores r often over looked . Jaldapara is a place for all megaherbivore lovers , namely those who really love elephants , gaurs and rhinos . As Elephants n Gaurs share somewhat similar food habits they r often found together near the waterholes and salt licks .... One point of time , even now these r the two species maximally affected by the human conflicts , in Jaldapara utmost efforts r taken to mitigate that . We need to save these giants tooo , they r the two lovliest gems of our forest .  *This image is copyright of its original author

What a sighting! What an image! The story behind the image: We came across this incredible sight just as the massive White Rhino bull returned from his quench and started walking towards the lioness with her 4 small cubs. Luckily the Rhino was just a tad curious and the lioness and her cubbies trotted away safely.

@Paleosuchus :
About #34: did this foal prevent the female (its mother ?) to be more concerned by the male ?
I hate it, whenever natural occurrences or "inhuman" animal actions occur, the commentators behind the video state "Somebody stop him/her!" or "Oh my god! Why isn't anybody stopping this?"
Had to put the video on mute. |
