Back in the halcyon days, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth (at least in my mind) and a nickel was still a lot of money, my favourite ride was the river safari one, where you could pretend to be an explorer in a river boat going past animatronic safari animals. On the river, I saw a dozen every day. Trips apes Birding Borneo'

In fact, it’s hard to think of a wildlife watching activity I’m more conflicted about, other than perhaps alomost industrial levels of diving in fragile reefs (or the remains thereof). On the one hand it can be an outstanding opportunity to see wildlife you usually don’t, and if done carefully it doesn’t do any harm.

I have wildlife/nonwildlife rescue paraphernalia in my car. There's nothing worse than one dead animal being partially responsible for the death of one live animal. And having the numbers of a couple of wildlife rehabbers programmed into your phone is helpful.)

Ahead of the first trip, I wasn’t thinking much about mammals, and yet, you cannot miss them, from Nilgais near villages to Indian Flying Foxes in town centres, not to mention those ubiquitous and irresistibly cute Palm Squirrels eating seeds left for parakeets. On that first trip, I even saw some of the last 500 (Asiatic) Lions !

After a pleasant morning with ducks, crisp snow and sunshine, we followed the wildlife trail on our way out. We also saw Prairie Dogs , Bison , Mule Deer , Abert’s Squirrel and Coyote. All bird and animal pictures are Brad’s. I ticked off 9 lifers. I am very grateful for both his artistry and his driving.

The authors are Bianca Lopez ( The New School ), Emily Minor ( University of Illinois at Chicago ), and Andrew Crooks ( George Mason University ), and the article is “ Insights into human-wildlife interactions in cities from bird sightings recorded online.”. Why are birds a good proxy for broader human-wildlife interactions?

Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that Americans spend nearly $1 billion annually on bird houses, feeders, nest boxes, and baths. Much of that ingenuity has been directed to a single problem: squirrels. But what could possibly be patentable ( i.e. , new and useful) as to bird feeders and squirrels in the 21st century?

And one that is easy to use, because, let’s face it, you want to spend most of your time looking at wildlife, not searching for information. Animals of Kruger National Park by Keith Barnes is the animal guide I wish I had when I visited South Africa.

“It is next to impossible to persuade people in India to donate money for injured raptors,” says Nadeem Shehzad, co-founder of Wildlife Rescue , a registered non-profit in the Chawri Bazar area of Old Delhi. Soon calls about injured birds poured in from animal hospitals, the police and fire departments, and various government agencies.

Lots of squirrels, chipmunks, deer, rabbits. the last part is raptor behavior but I can't imagine what kind of bird would be small enough to choose this space when there's 300 yds of chain link fence right there, and I've yet to see a dead squirrel, rabbit or chipmunk. but that's pretty much it for mammals.

I was looking out a car window the other day and noticed that of all the wildlife most of it was bird. A squirrel skittered by … a squirrel is not a bird. For instance, among animals, booby and noddy combined probably represents the majority of the biomass of the somewhat unusual St. Peter and St.

I’ve seen Secretarybirds zigzag after fleeing animals, spreading their huge wings periodically, presumably in an effort to maintain their balance as they twist and turn. On several occasions I’ve seen animals that are making a beeline towards shelter double-back when the wings are spread straight into their waiting talons.

Artwork, photographs, descriptive paragraphs enticed from writers by wildlife biologist and writing instructor Nina Stoyan-Rozenzweig ; all were on display in the assembly hall, where mutual admiration and camaraderie grew by the day. Puffins growl like chainsaws, and one in Britain was seen carrying 62 fish in her beak.

Then there are the Wild Boars, Plantain Squirrels, Monitor Lizards and of course the bird-life. You can sit there and observe the wildlife before continuing on. Whether plant-life, animals or birds are of interest or you just want to walk in a forest then this is a place to put on your checklist of places to visit in Singapore.

I have seen both Long-tailed and Tree Pangolins , Greater Cane Rat , several species of monkey and duiker, Royal Antelope , Pel’s Anomalure (a giant flying squirrel), huge casqued hornbills, Great Blue Turacos and numerous other birds and mammals for sale along the roadsides. What are the chances of survival for these shy forest denizens?

The reason Borneo lends itself to this type of birding holiday is that tourism in Borneo leans towards outdoorsy, wildlife based tourism anyway. Contrast this in Asia to, say, Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok, all of which have great birding nearby but are destinations people go to for reasons other than wildlife.
