Marakele National Park
names for animals
Image by picmasta
Some pictures of a trip to South Africa in Oktober 2011.

Taken with an Canon Eos 60D post processed with Adobe Lightroom 3.

The Marakele National Park in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, as its Tswana name suggests, has become a 'place of sanctuary' for an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa.

Contrasting majestic mountain landscapes, grass-clad hills and deep valleys characterize the park. Rare finds of yellowwood and cedar trees, five metre high cycads and tree ferns, are some of the plant species found here. All the large game species from elephant and rhino to the big cats as well as an amazing variety of birds including what’s probably the largest colony of endangered Cape vultures (more than 800 breeding pairs) in the world, have settled here.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus (Dutch: Koolzaad bloem)), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed (and, in the case of one particular group of cultivars, canola), is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century.

The Making of Harry Potter
animal movie

Warner Bros Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter
Warner Bros Studio, Aerodrome Way, Leavesden, Watford, Herts, WD25 7LS

A great day out for every fan of the boy wizard.

The Making of Harry Potter studio tour, covering 150,000 square foot, on two soundstages opened on the 31st March 2012, with stars galore at the red carpet launch at the Leavesden Studios where all eight movies were produced.

The home for many film productions, including several James Bond features, before a relatively new production company arrived there to make a film about a young boy who on his 11th birthday discovers he is a wizard.

Over the next ten years, the cast and crew of over 4,000 in total used more and more of the studios as the popularity of the books and films grew. The three young stars lived, grew up, went to school and turned into adults there on those stages.

Your tour begins in the foyer, with a flying Ford Anglia hanging from the ceiling and the walls adorned with huge photos of the cast, along with a few props.

Passing by the set of the cupboard under the stairs, you enter a room with a number of vertical TV screens showing Potter movie posters from around the world, followed by a short video sequence showing the rise of Harry’s popularity, the production teams discovery of the stories and the enormous worldwide success of the books and films.

Moving into the cinema, a short film introduced by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, talking about their experiences growing up on a film set for ten years, with clips from all eight films. The film ends with them standing in front of the main doors to the Great Hall and they walk in through the doors and invite you to follow them.

The screen at this point slowly rises to reveal the actual main doors to the Great Hall, surrounded with stone statues and carvings. What a wizard way to start the tour.

Walking through into the Great Hall we are told that we were now walking on the actual stone floor used in the films and seeing the actual tables where the actors ate their feasts. Dummies down each side of the hall wear the actual costumes used in the films. At the far end of the hall is the teachers’ table area, with more amazing costumes worn by Professors Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Moody, Trelawney and Flitwick, as well as Hagrid and Filch too.

Leaving the Great Hall you enter the first of two vast sound stages. This includes sets for the Gryffindor Common Room and Dormitory, Dumbledore’s Office, Potions Classroom, Hagrid’s Hut, Burrow’s Kitchen and parts of the Ministry of Magic, also Umbridge’s gaudy pink, feline office. Each filled to the brim with props and costumes.

Props can be seen everywhere, with a massive cage in the centre, chock-a-block with goblets, chandeliers, wands and armour. A huge glass case contains the wands of 24 of the major characters – less than 1 percent of the total number of wands made for the films. The ornate doors to a Gringott’s vault and to the Chamber of Secrets are seen after passing a wall dedicated to the paintings produced to decorate the walls of Hogwarts.

Below the giant swinging pendulum of the Hogwarts castle clock there are several huge touch screens containing an interactive Marauders Map.

There are sections of the soundstage dedicated to various movie-making crafts. The hair and makeup section, costumes section, animal department, graphic design and production.
The final section in this first soundstage is dedicated to the Special Effects department with three huge video screens showing all the tricks and techniques, including greenscreen footage and CGI. Props attached to their motion rigs, include the Gringott’s Vault Cart and Mad-Eye Moody’s Recumbent Broomstick.

In separate room you can have a go on a broomstick or drive the Ford Anglia yourself, using the greenscreen technology.

The Backlot about half way round the tour is an open air section between the two soundstages where refreshments are available, including Butterbeer the popular wizarding beverage.

Also featured on the backlot are the Knight Bus, another Ford Anglia, Hagrid’s motorbike/sidecar, the Riddle family tombstone, a section of the rickety wooden Hogwarts Bridge, Potter’s burnt out cottage from Godric’s Hollow and Number 4 Privet Drive.

Entering the second soundstage you pass some of the giant chess pieces from the first movie. A number of video screens here progressively show what it was like to work in the creature shop, cleverly leading you from one screen to the next, past models of Fawkes, a snapping Monster Book of Monsters and a giant animatronic head of Hagrid. The next room has the life size (i.e., ENORMOUS!) model of Aragog the spider and one of three animatronic Buckbeak models.

Walking around the corner (WOW) you are transported into another world entirely. The dark lighting and cobbled street can only mean one thing – you have entered Diagon Alley. The shops using the original sets have been rebuilt– Flourish & Blotts, Eeylops Owl Emporium, Potage’s Cauldron Shop and of course Ollivander’s Wand Shop, each and every one them is crammed full of detail. At the other end of the street is Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, with the bright orange shopfront standing out from the crowd of blackness and featuring a moving model of one of the red-haired twins doffing his hat.

At the end of Diagon Alley you move onto the Art and Design department with walls covered with architectural drawings and detailed plans, accurate down to the millimetre, for many of the props and sets already seen. A draftsman’s table serves as a projection screen for another video about the work of the art department.

Moving on, up the ascending path are walls full of concept paintings and artwork, also intricate cardboard models of Hogsmead and the Hogwarts.

You are only looking at a model of the model though, as entering the next room, there, spread over at least 15 square metres is the most amazing, complex and elaborate model built to a 1:24 scale. It has a bigger footprint than the average house.

The last part of the tour is a fitting tribute to the crew and cast of the most popular film franchise of all time. A much tidier recreation of the interior of Ollivander’s Wand shop, with over 4,000 wand boxes lining its shelves – one for every single person who worked on the films.

Exit through the Gift Shop.

Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis)

The Komodo dragon, Varanus komodoensis, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum of length 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb). Their unusual size has been attributed to island gigantism, since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the niche on the islands where they live.
As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. Their group behaviour in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world. The diet of big Komodo dragons mainly consists of deer, though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon

Six things that make sharks cool (and I learned in Long Beach =)

Deep Throat: "Mulder...if a shark stops swimming, it will die. Don't stop swimming."
(The X Files- E.B.E)

Shark are amazing animals. Used to love diving with them when living on the Great Barrier reef, in Australia. Curious, beautiful swimmer and perfect predator.

1-Amazing shark senses.

Sharks generally rely on their superior sense of smell to find prey, but at closer range they also use the lateral lines running along their sides to sense movement in the water, and employ special sensory spores on their heads ( Ampullae of Lorenzini) to detect electrical fields created by prey and the ambient electric fields of the ocean.

The Ampullae of Lorenzini are the electro receptor organs of the shark, and they vary in number from a couple of hundred to thousands in an individual. The shark has the greatest electrical sensitivity known in all animals. This sense is used to find prey hidden in sand by detecting the electric fields inadvertently produced by all fish.

2- A skeleton made of cartilage.

Unlike bony fish, shark have skeletons made from cartilage. Cartilage is a flexible, lightweight, and dense connective tissue. Specially reinforced tissue creates the rigid structure of the shark 's jaws.

Many people believe that shark cartilage taken as a dietary supplement will help prevent cancer, treat arthritis, and act as an aid in boosting the immune system. None of these claims have been scientifically proven, yet the demand for theses supplements creates a market for sharks. The believe in the medicinal power of shark cartilage us due in large part to the incorrect notion that shark do not get cancer.
Shark cartilage has been used successfully in the development of a synthetic temporary skin for burn victims, and shark corneas have been transplanted into human eyes.

3-Customized tail.

Shark tails are adapted to the behaviour and lifestyle of the shark, and tail shapes vary considerable among species. The main use for the tail is to provide thrust- but some species, the thresher shark for example, can actually use their tail to strike and stun prey items such as fish or squid. The cookie cutter shark has broad upper and lower luminescent lobes, which may act as a lure to draw prey items to the shark. It is also believed that shark use the upper lobe if their tails to counteract the lift generated by their pectoral fins.

4-An endless supply of teeth.

Sharks are unique in that they produce teeth continuously. Their teeth are not set in sockets like those of other vertebrates but rather loosely and flexibly attached by tendons to their jaws. If they didn' t replace teeth continuously - up to 50.000 in a lifetime - their teeth would fall out. That is why shark teeth are the most abundant vertebrate fossil material on the Earth and in the sea.

5-Dermal denticles

Shark 's scales differ from those of other fishes. When viewed under a microscope, the scales actually look like miniature versions of their teeth. Called "dermal denticles", these structures are arranged in sawtooth patterns to enable water to flow smoothly over the animal 's outer surface. They cause the skin to feel rough.In some species the denticles overlap and the degree of roughness varies from species to species. Each denticle has tiny raised ridges, or riblets, believed to dampen turbulence in the layer of water immediately next to the skin.
Scientists have discovered that dermal denticles improve water flow over the shark 's body making them more efficient swimmers. The concept has been applied to the latest generation of competition swimsuits.

6-Streamlined Bodyshape.

The sharks we see today - from dwarf lantern shark to white shark to whale shark- are the fine tuned result of about 400 millions years of evolutionary tinkering. Over a time span of three times as long as the reign of the dinosaurs, sharks made astonishing changes in forms and life styles. While sharks are undeniably ancient, there is nothing "primitive" about their modern descendants. (Long Beach Aquarium)

In April, 2013, the University of Georgia, Land Trust for the Little Tennessee, and a host of other partners organized Macon County’s, N.C.’s first Kids in the Creek event. It brought 8th grade students from across the watershed to Cartoogechaye Creek, to spend a day learning about the stream. During the course of the field trip, students rotated through four statins - water chemistry, hydrology, fish sampling, and aquatic invertebrate sampling. At the stream invertebrate station, the students collected animals, used simple keys to identify what they caught, and reflected on what the number and diversity of their catch says about stream health.
The watershed is home to the endangered Appalachian elktoe mussel, leading to the Service’s commitment to this educational event, specifically helping teach students about the diversity of life in the stream and the importance of the stream’s invertebrates, which includes not only mussels but also insects that form important parts of the stream food web and serve as indicators of stream health.

The White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum) is the second largest land mammal, weighing two tons or more as an adult. Pathetic by comparison with the big dinosaurs, or even the megafauna that early man got rid of, but still pretty impressive.

The southern white rhino, of which this is a specimen, was driven to the brink of extinction at the end of the 19th century by hunters, farmers, and poachers. People say that only around 100-150 survived. Since then, it’s been quite effectively protected, and they think there are more than 10 000 alive now.

Its problem is still its horn, which although made only of keratin – the same substance that makes your hair and nails – it is worth more than its weight in gold as medicine in the Far East and dagger handles in the Middle East. How would you like walking around the streets with 10kg of gold attached to your face?

It’s blue, so why is it called a White Rhinoceros? Because the English who heard the Afrikaaners talking about the wide (weit)-mouth rhino thought that they were saying "weit". Which is quite a different kettle of fish, because it means white.

It’s sometimes called the square-lipped rhinoceros, in contrast with the “black” rhino, whose upper lip has a George-Bush-like prehensile hook.

I liked this one's beady eye. We came across each other after I'd been in the Pilanesburg nature reserve for all of 15 minutes. He was less impressed by me than I was by him.

BACKSTORY: After the Descendents concert, we were hanging out in the parking lot waiting for it to clear out a bit before heading to the next venue for the ALL concert. Some poor girl asked us if we had jumper cables, and of course we did. She was very grateful and said, "You are like the 50th person we asked!" (What's with people not carrying jumper cables anymore? You sad, unprepared fucks!)

Anyway, while Clint was helping them, he found a frog in the parking lot. Ok, actually a toad, but still. ALL has a song called Frog, and they talk about catching a frog, and the difficulties of trying to sell it. And now we had a frog! What are the odds. Clint tried to sell the frog, but nobody wanted to buy it, as predicted by the song. The frog in the song is named Oscar, so naturally, this frog's name is now Oscar.

Oscar had an eventful evening that night. He went from the parking lot at the Festival Pier in Philadelphia to a parking garage at the next venue, spent a night in New Jersey, came back to Virginia, met our kitties, and now lives in our back yard where he has a lot of space and a creek... And no parking lots or boats mosh pits.

Cool Photo Of Animals images

A few nice photo of animals images I found:


Coyote in Yellowstone National Park
photo of animals
Image by Melissa Hincha-Ownby
Our family stopped at a bear jam near the Calcite Springs Overlook. We were able to park in the pullout, walk down to observe a black bear and cub, and on the way back we were treated to this coyote, a red fox mousing and a young mule deer complete with spots. I saw the same gentleman nearly get run over twice trying to take a picture of this coyote as it walked along the roadway asking the entire time "what is that thing?" Being from Arizona, I guess I take coyotes for granted - however, the Yellowstone coyotes are a much more meaty animal plus the coloring is definitely lighter. Editing courtesy of my nephew, ZTesta, since this was a walking, handheld, slightly out-of-focus photo.

I don't agree to keep them locked up like this, but unfortunately, there's no much I can do.

Animais da fazenda. Não concordo em deixá-los presos assim, mas infelizmente, não tem muito o que eu possa fazer.

Day 111 - February 20, 2005: A lazier Sunday than usual, it's a long weekend here in Alberta so we're blessed with an extra day to get as little or as much done as possible. Claire and I did some shopping and found some time to go visit all the little cats at the SPCA. I can hardly believe that facility is still running in the tight space that it's in. They really do need a new home.

This little tabby was only 10 months old, but seemed oblivious to all of the people walking in and out of the cat room. Her tag said "very shy" but I suspect it meant "very non-chalant."

Spent the evening with our friends J and Ramona at Bottlescrew Bill's pub. A good time was (seemingly) had by all.

Macaw

A few nice endangered animal images I found:


Macaw
endangered animal
Image by Matthew Kenwrick
Macaws are native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forest, especially rainforest, but others prefer brushy woodland or savanna imitative semitropical wild habitats. Macaws are high up on the threatened bird list and extinction may endanger most of the species without preservation and zoological efforts.
