Humpback whales use a special hunting technique known as bubble net
feeding. Whales, either individually or in a group, swim in a shrinking
circle, blowing bubbles below a
school of prey. The shrinking ring of bubbles encircles the school and
confines it in an ever-smaller cylinder. The fish trapped in the middle
of the bubble net are then eaten in one go as whales rise from below
with an open mouth. Pictures by Wayne Davis and Christin Kahn.

Hummingbird nest. I wouldn’t have found it but I scared the mom off the nest while pruning the blackberries.
”Make sure to turn your audio up so you can hear the underwater
chorus of wildlife! “The species we could be hearing out here could be
bowhead whales, ringed seals and beluga whales…each of these species
make these fantastic sounds. There’s so much going on under that water
that we just aren’t aware of.”by world_wildlife http://ift.tt/1TlSYSQ

forms
a casing on the ground surface of the limb that affords protection to
the soft tissue and osseous structures enclosed within the capsule.

Grecia the Toucan was brought to a Costa Rican animal hospital in
January 2015. He was missing the top half of his beak after being
brutally attacked by a group of young boys. After news of this cruel
attack on such a beautiful, innocent, animal gained widespread
attention, a number of 3D printing companies were eager to create a prosthetic beak for Grecia which was paid for by donations from the generous public.
Could a zombie apocalypse happen in real life? It already (kind of) does in nature — and not just to ants.
