Amphibians Glow in Ways People Can’t See Palm Oil Detectives

Many animals have a colourful, yet largely hidden, trait. Marine creatures like #fish and corals can glow blue, green or red under certain types of light. So can land animals like penguins and #parrots. But until now, experts knew of only one salamander and a few #frogs that could glow. No longer.

Reptiles Facing Extinction: How to Help Palm Oil Detectives

#Reptiles are fascinating creatures who are sadly feared, misunderstood and persecuted by humans. It is high time that we stand up for #lizards, #snakes, #terrapins, #crocodiles, caimans, #turtles and more. Many of these fascinating creatures are feared by humans and inhabit hard-to-traverse places such as swamps. Compared with birds, amphibians and mammals, there is little data available on the distribution, population size and extinction risk of reptiles. This has meant that wildlife conservat

TW- reptiles Went reptile-hunting near Bath, found 4 species - Common Lizard, Adder, Grass Snake and Slow Worm. Sadly, the first three are now becoming scarce in the local area, in part due to habitat destruction, but also from non-native predators, including cats and especially Pheasants, which are released in large numbers around the outskirts of Bath. Pheasants will eat reptiles - even Adders! #Nature #Wildlife #Reptiles #Lizards #Snakes #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography
