They look crap but presumably offer some protection for the chicks, though not from each other (see the murderous activities within the nests in my previous post ). Tiphys died either of a snakebite or of a mysterious illness but he was not killed by either a tiger or a rhinoceros. Lucky him, right? Though he ended up dead anyway.

Bats just love to fly into human hair!” s and “Kill me now!”s. Do you associate the sound of a bell with an armed ninja who wants to kill you? Rehabbers are very responsive, although constantly living under the gun makes us sometimes vent about species that aren’t necessarily the ones in question. Porcupines throw their quills!

The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. So, the best way to find a leopard is to find the kill. It was a fresh kill, and though it might take hours, the observers knew that eventually the leopard was going to come back for his breakfast. And, there were birds.

It’s kind of an odd spot, a mix of protected wetland and mangroves mixed with some manicured lawns and parking. Straight off the bat we found a Little Grebe and a small flock of distant Cotton Pygmy-geese ! If you have some time to kill, or better yet a tour of Thailand planned, be sure to include it!

The latter is even captured in a somewhat gruesome video , in which the hornbill plucks a caged bird out of its cage and kills and eats it. At 15h59, the female picked up the fourth chick and killed it by repeatedly crushing it with her beak. Then she tried to feed it to the remaining chicks.

Wildlife conservation is concerned with protecting wildlife at the level of species or perhaps population. This is quite a big deal for an island group that had no mammals save bats for millions of years. Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans.
