#arid — Public Fediverse posts

Wild Ghaap aka Hoodia gordonii
At one stage it was sold to the world as an appetite suppressant
It grows in arid regions where rainfall never exceeds 250 mm per year.
This specimen was photographed in the Tankwa Karoo National Park

What's the best #desert #arid #yard ? We're not watering anything, ever. Ok, maybe the apricot tree, maybe 1/wk.

But what's a treatment that's less expensive and low or no maintenance?

Beetles of the genus #Cheironitis (#Scarabaeinae) are characterized by a strikingly #robust #morphology in the #adults, while the larvae usually resemble cockchafer grubs. These are #dungbeetles that exhibit #broodcare. They are widespread in #arid regions of the #Palearctic and #Afrotropical regions. YuHeng Wang et al.

A view from a footpath in the Robertson Karoo.
It is a harsh land and now in late January the temperature is > 34°C and it hasn't rained significantly since late August.
The tall plants visible in the photo are called Pigs Ears because of their succulent, broad, flat leaves.
The Pogs Ear is part of the Renosterveld biome which roughly translated means rhinoceros land or fields.

Another nice example of the long-term "it's all connected!" of the #ocean / #atmosphere system. When the Benguela Upwelling System shifted gears in the late #Miocene, it made southern #Africa more #arid.

Bat Eared Foxes

We were privileged to see Bat Eared Foxes in the Mountain Zebra National Park. They use those big ears to detect insects which they then dig for in the dry sand.

Good morning from the Karoo National Park in the Gamka Karoo.
It is is the wet season and they expect about 30 mm in October.
In the foreground there are two Red Hartebees which are pretty much white dots in a pale green brown background
The park is home to the tourist attractions i.e. rhinos, buffalo and lions but we are here for the birds, plants and insects.

A gravel road cuts through dark, broken hills in the Namib. The sky is blank; the land is bare and stony. The track leads the eye to a narrow pass and into distance. No people. No plants. Only rock, dust, and heat.

🔥 Hot off the press from #TheGrackleProject!
🌇 When the city comes to you, be #flexible
When you go to the city, be #persistent

Great-tailed grackles who were #trained to be more flexible used a wider variety of foods 🍿 and #foraging techniques, but had similar #habitat use patterns and #social behavior as non-trained grackles.

Given that this species is rapidly expanding its geographic #range 🗺️ and shifting more toward #urban 🏙️ and #arid 🏜️ environments in recent years, our finding could suggest that foraging breadth (the number of different food types an individual eats) is a factor in #adapting to #Human-modifiedEnvironments
