Black footed cats are small, spotted cats found in parts of Africa. They are known as one of the world's deadliest felines despite being the smallest wild cat in Africa. They're very territorial and often become aggressive towards intruders, regardless of their size.
Black footed cats hunt rodents, shrews, birds, insects, snakes, geckos, and spiders, although their diet can differ throughout the year. They slowly stalk their prey and use their fast trot to sneak up on them when they're at their most vulnerable! 🐈

Never give up 🐢🩵
If you’re wondering what that circle is on the belly of the hatchling, it’s a yolk sack. This is what the hatchling uses to absorb nutrients when in the egg.
All the hatchlings in this nest had this yolk sack which means that the nest erupted prematurely and was not fully developed.
This hasn’t stopped their determination to survive and all these hatchlings made it safely to the water. Best of luck little guys!

Amazing primates in the Amazon Rainforest 🐒
High up in the treetops, a troop of Red howler monkeys rests, their prehensile tails gripping the branches firmly as their curious eyes scan the forest. They live in large groups, where every member finds safety and companionship. But when they decide to make themselves heard… their powerful howl echoes through the Amazon Rainforest!

Dolphins will sometimes drive fish to shore as part of a hunting method known as strand feeding. They first herd the fish into a group, then create a tidal wave by forming a line and swimming directly towards the shore. The wave spooks fish onto the shore, which makes it difficult for them to escape their hunters. This method also allows scavengers such as birds to collect fish that the dolphins didn't manage to catch. 🐬🐟

Foxes were believed to have arrived in Iceland over 11,500 years ago. Despite Iceland's severe weather and unpredictable climate, foxes are able to survive through sheer determination and their relentless nature. They have a reputation for outwitting predators and being able to find food in almost any situation. Whilst prey is scarce in Iceland, there are no shortage of predators for these foxes, as they're constantly hunted by polar bears, wolves, grizzly bears, and eagles. 🦊

Mountain gorillas, majestic and rare, inhabit the dense forests of Bwindi in Uganda and the volcanoes of Rwanda.
These gorillas, sharing over 98% of our DNA, remind us of the importance of protecting their environment and preserving biodiversity. Conservation efforts, like monitoring gorilla groups, have allowed these giants to thrive, but their future still depends on our commitment.
