While skunks are known for their distinct odor, they also play an essential role in the ecosystem. 🦨🌿 If you happen to come in contact with a skunk during your walk, here's what to do to ensure a safe and odor-free outcome.. 👇 ✨ Keep Your Distance: As soon as you spot a skunk, slow down and maintain a safe distance. Skunks have limited eyesight but a keen sense of smell. Give them space and avoid startling them. ✨ Stay Calm: It's natural to feel a bit startled, but remaining calm is key. Sudden movements or loud noises might make the skunk feel threatened, increasing the likelihood of it spraying. ✨ Move Slowly and Gently: If you need to move away from the skunk, do so slowly and smoothly. Sudden movements could alarm the skunk and prompt defensive actions. ✨ Don't Approach: As curious as you might be, avoid approaching the skunk. Even though they're generally peaceful creatures, it's best to admire them from a distance. ✨ Avoid Eye Contact: In the animal kingdom, prolonged eye contact can be interpreted as a challenge or threat. Avoid staring directly at the skunk and instead maintain a relaxed gaze. ✨ Back Away Slowly!

Rarest Cat Eye and Fur Colour Combinations  Cats boast an array of eye and fur colour combinations that contribute to their unique charm. While all felines boast their own cute looks, certain colour combinations are considered exceptionally rare, adding an element of fascination for cat enthusiasts.  Today we’ll look at the rarest eye and fur colours in cats, as well as the science behind how different colours come about.  Read on: https://lnkd.in/g3mZV26k #cats #catfur #catpatterns #adoptcats #adoptkittens #fostercats #rarecats

Day 6: Find something on the beach that you are unsure about and try and learn a fact about it. We were on the beach and was collecting some Common Prawns and Mysis Shrimp for the zoo for enriching entertaining food for our animals and we came across a strange little flattened being with jerking legs or it could've been hair from my perspective. I thought it was a flatworm but I soon found out that it wasn't under a microscope (which is what is pictured). Other staff here identified it as a ragworm or to be more precise a chopped up segment of a ragworm, which is still alive. So my fact about a ragworm, which is essentially a burrowing underwater millipede, if it is indeed a ragworm is as follows: "As a Polychaete, ragworms can survive being separated into pieces as they have the ability to regenerate different segments of themselves. The replacement of the tail when amputated is the most common. They can also survive on fewer parts than they previously had making them in theory ageless but in reality this is not true as they die after reproducing at around three years of age" I know I'm breaking my own rules here but here's another fact about Ragworms too if it is indeed a ragworm: "Each Segment of a ragworm has a pair of parapods, or swimming legs (not jerking legs as I referred to them as), and each of them has bristles. There are loads of parapods" #30dayswild #polychaetes #bristles #ragworm

What is Christmas tree worm? The common name for these worms is derived from their appearance, not their habitat or diet. Each worm has two brightly colored crowns that protrude from its tube-like body. These Christmas tree-like crowns are composed of radioles, or hair-like appendages radiating from the worm’s central spine. Which colors have you seen before? #christmastreeworm #christmastreeworms #seaworms #seaworm #traveltipsandstories #divingtipsandstories #seacreature #wormsofinstagram #funnycreatures #underwatercreatures #uwphotographyguide #underwaterphotoshoot #canonr5mirrorless #nauticamhousings #professionalunderwaterphotographer #onderwaterwereld #zeeleven #colorfulanimals #wormen #uwmacroshot #underwatermacrophotographers #onderwatermacro #protecttheoceans #sealifeprotection #thisiswhyweshouldsavetheocean #uwcameras #underwatercameraman #seaanimalsofinstagram #macrolifephotography #redseadiving
