Fisherman hooks a huge stingray from the breakwater – what happens next?
Winter in southwestern Australia brings north-westerly gales. Under these conditions large fish often congregate around the Fremantle Harbour breakwaters (locally known as moles), attracting fishermen who use large fishing rods on the rocks in an attempt to catch the fish. Fishermen often leave their fishing rods unattended, with the rods placed in lengths of PVC pipe wedged in a crack in the rocks. On this day the tip of one of the parked fishing rods suddenly whipped down, with line spooling off the reel as a very large fish ran with it. Fishermen scrambled to reclaim the rod and fought the large fish - a Southern Eagle Ray (Myliobatis tenuicaudatus) for several minutes before it snappe...

Просмотров 188Месяц назад
Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) are the largest non-human primates in southern Africa. They are highly gregarious, social animals that live in troops of about 15 to 100. All males of breeding age are dominant over females, but males have a strict rank order within the troop. Baboons are omnivorous, eating a wide range of plant and animal foods. This troop was on the edge of the Luvuvhu River at ...
Dead Hippo’s hide is too tough, so Vultures fight over the soft parts.

Kruger National Park in north-eastern South Africa was in severe drought in the summer of 2016. Grazing animals were badly affected, particularly Hippopotamus and African Buffaloes because there was virtually no green grass available for them. Many Hippos died of starvation, including this female in the drying Engelhard Dam. The Park was littered with the carcasses of dead animals, creating a b...

Southern Elephant Seals (Mirounga leonina) are the ocean’s largest marine mammals that is not a whale. The massive, mature males have a trunk-like proboscis, which gives the species its name, and can grow to nearly seven metres (22.5 feet) long weigh up to 5 tonnes (11,000 pounds). Elephant Seals are deep divers, staying down for about 20 minutes on a dive, hunting mainly squid as well as other...

Vultures squabble and compete over the putrid carcass of a bull Elephant killed in a fight
Просмотров 905Месяц назад
It is rare to find an Elephant carcass in the African bush, and even more unusual near the side of a road. This bull African Savanna Elephant (Loxodonta africana) was killed in a fight with another bull. Park rangers removed the Elephant’s head and tusks, and then the scavengers moved in. The smell of the rotting carcass was overpowering! When we arrived, the Elephant carcass was swarming with ...

Feral Koi Carp - scourge of the wetlands. A cautionary environmental tale from Perth.
Просмотров 722 месяца назад
Koi (or Amur) Carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) are native to Asia but are unfortunately widespread in lakes on the Swan Coastal Plain, including in Herdsman Lake. They have been released into our lakes by irresponsible people who no longer want them as pets. Koi Carp disrupt the ecology of our lakes by stirring up sediments as they feed, making the water turbid, releasing methane (a potent greenhous...

Pixie the knicker-obsessed Burmese cat - she loves sniffing and cuddling my undies!
Просмотров 342 месяца назад
Our lovely little cat Pixie is a 7-year old Burmese who loves to play catch me if you can at bedtime. As soon as I begin to round up her sisters Brulee and Mela for bed she disappears. But one day I stumbled on a solution. I had just gone to the toilet before my own bedtime, and Pixie was still on the loose, but as soon as she heard the sound of the toilet seat being lowered, she appeared, and ...
A 'Bin Chicken' (Australian White Ibis) gazing with its baleful eye.

Australian White Ibises (Threskiornis molucca) are commonly found in urban areas in Australia. They are commonly called ‘Bin Chickens’ because they scavenge for food in rubbish bins and elsewhere. This non-breeding adult Ibis regularly visits my backyard, hoping for food scraps and probing the lawn with its long bill, hunting for worms, beetle larvae and other prey. The Ibis perched on a fence,...

Purple-crowned Lorikeets (Parvipsitta porphyrocephala) are tiny, nectar- and pollen-eating parrots that are found across southern Australia. They are more often heard than seen, as fast-flying flocks race through the tree canopies in eucalyptus woodland or tall forest making their ‘tzip! tzip!’ calls. Like other parrots, Purple-crowned Lorikeets nest in tree hollows. This female Purple-crowned ...

Is the Australian the same as the northern one, or is it different?
Hi Mohammed - the Australian Shoveler is endemic to Australia. Vagrants occasionally make it to New Zealand.
That nest no longer exists - there aren’t any Osprey nests at Herdsman Lake.
Ok. I thought your videos were recently taken in Apr last month.
Hi Bob, may I know where part of the lake I can see the osprey nesting ? Heading to Perth 2 weeks later
I’m happy to let you know - I’ll email you a map. There are several nests around the Peel-Harvey Estuary, but they aren’t occupied at present. Please let me know your email.
Супер! Супер! 💥 это просто великолепно! Теперь вы тоже можете считаться настоящими тюленями! Потрясена тем, что женщины везли в Антарктиду купальники!!!! 😆
Если бы не шрамы на шее, можно было бы подумать, что это самочка 🤩
Совсем еще маленький 🥰

Какой ужас. И это не первая такая завязка. Наверно, и не последняя.
Этот малыш уже размером с мать ))) название видео отличное!!! 😄

Такой ребенок... 🥰
Дааа, сразу видно, боец! Но, судя по отсутствию вокруг него гарема, все в прошлом ))) Очень нравятся ваши видео, смотрю подряд!
1:01 похоже, он все-таки принюхивается ) но, возможно, он чувствует этот запах по-другому, не как человек. А чем, кстати, там пахнет?
У вас потрясающие съемки! 👍
Ничего не глупый, а очень даже умный ребенок 🥰 из любого безвыходного положения есть как минимум один выход 😄 вот тюлень как есть тюлень )) думать лень и двигаться лень ))
Прям драма целая ) отличные съемки!

So beautiful where they belong but so deadly in the ecosystem. Applause for the team cleaning them out. Thanks for filming them at work.

Ребенок... ) Так посмотрел вслед уходящим людям... куда вы, мы же только начали играть...🙂🦭
Какой общительный! Это не Neil the seal в детстве? Но, кажется, он прогоняет этих странных красношерстных тюленей со своего пляжа?😊
Почему тюлени интересуются именно этим путешественником? Все просто, он больше всех присутствующих похож на тюленя )))
Uživajte dok možete.Samo nisam siguran da je to baš sigurno.Bolje da ste došli sa svojim čoporom,bili bi bezbedniji.

Sneaky Seal 🦭
I love them so much, they are so graceful. I've had two, one sadly left this world very fast, but the other one was the best partner of my life. They are beautiful inside and outside, best pet birds I could imagine of. And I had Cockatiels, Ringnecks and none of them ever gave me so much love like Regent parrot! 😭 I plan on getting one after so many years but I need to do some renovation and I'm close to it. I want this beauty to feel as good as I can imagine, so I can cuddle up to her feathers and fall asleep with her for a while, to feel peace and true love once again.
I wanna adopt them!
Oh, look at those faces! 🥰
