Land/Water Wildlife

It has got slight markings on it's face but not as pronounced as the other one. Thank you for the comparison.

 

There is a huge colour difference of the entire coat, which is what I first noticed, it is very dark. Also, I think the poor critter has bird droppings on her snout.

 

Could be just genetic variation?

 

Absolutely could be.

 

Nature's nightly drama, prey and predator.

 

I purchased a spray bottle fox attractant on eBay to see if I could get this little character to slow down enough to get a decent high quality photo with the camera trap. Tonight I applied the attractant to the stump to see if it works. It sure looks healthy, no apparent mange.

 

Bet these turn into spectacular moths..they're about 3" / 7.5cm long! The ants are outsize too...

 

@noisette47 Sphinx moth caterpillars mainly found in the S US and Carribean, are you around there somewhere?

 

Guadeloupe, Strongy

 

Nice @noisette47 probably just a bit warmer than France!!

 

29 degrees warmer the last I heard I'm keeping busy trying to identify all the strange flora and fauna!

 

I thought the moles here must be an impressive size, but no...these are the occupants of the local tunnels...

 

Tenerife lizard.


Pool Frog.


Rock Crab.

 

What an impressive Lizard and gorgeous Frog.

 

We've got a cormorant There was a load of splashing on the farm reservoir today which I thought was a moorhen on acid, but no, a big duck-like bird whizzed by and caught and swallowed a large carp. He caught 6 big fish in the space of a few minutes It's a good job that the lake is heaving with fish and crayfish because at that rate the populations will be severely thinned.
