Kunst mit Ameisen: Antworks

Die Künstlerin Catherine Chalmers macht in Zusammenarbeit mit Blattschneiderameisen kleine Kunstwerke. Sie erklärt:

The work encourages us to empathize with bugs. One reason they disgust us, Chalmers believes, is that they seem immoral, or at least differently moral. „We see ourselves as individuals,“ she said. „And we see insects as being this uniform, formless mass that will sacrifice themselves and do all these sorts of things.“ Some of her photos capture a praying mantis eating the head of her mate. „Civilization is a march for greater and greater and greater control over the world,“ she said. But nature doesn’t play by our rules.

Hunderte Golden Retriever versammeln sich in den schottischen Highlands

Golden Gathering in Schottland.

Hundreds of golden retrievers, and their owners, have gathered at the Highland ancestral home of the breed.

The first golden retriever puppies were born at Guisachan House in Glen Affric 155 years ago.

They were bred by aristocrat Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, who wanted a gun dog suited to Scottish Highland terrain.

Owners from across the UK, continental Europe, North America, Australia and Japan have been meeting at the ruins of Guisachan House.

Bassdrum-Kitty

Bassmassage für Edgar.

Before I go any further, I guess I should probably introduce our cat Edgar. Edgar is absolutely deaf and loves hanging out on the kick drum while I play so he can feel those big boomy vibrations. He loves it so much that almost every time I practice or record he likes being in this spot. Being around drums long enough will actually put him to sleep! Anyways here’s a 5 over 6 groove.

Eine beruhigende Reise in einen südamerikanischen Regenwald

BBC Earth nimmt uns auf eine wunderschöne unkommentierte Reise in einen südamerikanischen Regenwald mit. Das zu sehen und zu hören entschleunigt ungemein und zeigt mal wieder, wie schön die Erde sein kein.

Watch the toucans, coatis and squirrels of Argentina and Brazil navigate the Atlantic Rainforest whether they are searching for food or trying to hide from the jungle rain.

Watching images of nature has been shown to help our mental and physical wellbeing. So, relax as you journey through habitats ranging from deserts to Argentine Wetlands.

Zwei sich kloppende Braunbären

Neulich in Alaska. Da möchte man nicht im Weg rumstehen.

Wildlife photographer Brad Josephs managed to capture footage of a lifetime as he recorded two ferocious bears going at each other for almost 10 minutes.

The video filmed in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska, shows swiping and biting at each other whilst balancing on their hind legs.

Intimidating roars can be heard as the wrestling match for dominance climaxes.

Josephs told Newsflare: „Two giant male Alaska brown bears battle for mating season dominance on the coast of Alaska.

„The newcomer steals meadow dominance from the original male.“
