Well, Den stora älgvandringen is over for the year.
Exciting news, I hear that next year they are planing for an extreme edition of The Great Moose Trek... with alligators!!!!
(It is really over, but the bit about the alligators is a joke.)

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐍🦴 #Snakes have spent 150 million years evolving #anatomy that allows them to eat everything from #fish eggs to #alligators.
Their lower jaw bones flare apart to accommodate prey much larger than their own heads. This lesson explains the extreme feeding strategies and toxin resistance that help these #animals thrive in almost any #environment.

There's a programme on the telly and the narrator was explaining how Chinese alligators were hunted until near extinction because they were thought of as fish-eating pests.
And then there was a man who looked like he was fishing for an alligator but he was actually just feeding one and looking after them.

No question that these baby birds are one step away from baby dinosaurs. 🙂
This is a #GreatEgret chick tossed out of its nest by its siblings (while the parents watched and did nothing). We witnessed the whole thing from our kayaks and I pulled it out of the water almost comatose. Just warming up in the sun did it some good. We are fortunate to have a local volunteer animal rescue so I think it survived.
Things I learned from them: 1) That's normal green skin color for egrets even the adults. 2) All adult wading birds are faster than you think. 3) Their necks are longer than your arm, and 4) They go for the eyes! Be cautious if rescuing such a bird!
Months later I attended a presentation about bird rookeries in the #Everglades. The scientists told us that having a sacrificial chick is sort of "baked in" for these #birds. They favor tall trees (bald cypress) growing in water because the resident #alligators help stop nest predators like raccoons and snakes. The birds basically yield up one of their own to keep the gators patrolling below their nests.

Hisses, coughs, grunts, and bellows
#Alligators and other crocodilians are the loud mouths of the reptile world. Calls vary depending on species, age, size, and sex. Some species can communicate over 20 different kinds of messages through sound alone. But what are they saying?

🐊 Wow, who knew the #Everglades needed draining because they creep some folks out like a shallow kiddie pool? 🤦♂️ Fear not, brave reader, the #alligators are too busy contemplating the absurdity of human logic to care. 🌿🤣

"The Alligator is on the side of the slave catcher and the overseer against the black underclass; why not the ICE agent and the concentration camp guard against the immigrant, the dissident, the stripped-of-citizenship? The threat is the same: you will be eaten up and disappear.
"Of course, American alligators—the actual living animals, rather than the snapping beasts of the White American imagination—are not on anyone’s side, particularly. They would much prefer cracking open a turtle or taking a bird than a person. They rarely attack humans at all, and not for want of opportunities. To the extent that they will have anything to do with their namesake camp, it will likely be dying on the road that leads to it, hit by an ICE van carrying a new group of prisoners."

Laughing. In front of a cage, under a tent, in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by #alligators - where they plan to hold HUMAN BEINGS whose only crime was crossing a #border in search of a better life for their family.
These are the darkest of days.
Please - it is OK to say that you didn’t vote for this. It is OK to say ENOUGH.
And if you look at this picture and feel joy - may God have mercy on your soul.
