Bears are incredible swimmers! Their natural buoyancy lets them float effortlessly, making it easier to hunt and rest in the water. Who knew they could be so graceful?

Yes indeed ..the bird understands water displacement

The "blue hour" takes place when the sun is far enough below the horizon that the sun's blue wavelenghts dominate, at dawn or dusk. The blue hour lasts longer near the poles as the sun rises and sets at a shallower angle than at the equator.

My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long and elegant curving neck, and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend!

A tiny horse figurine carved from mammoth ivory about 40,000 years ago!

Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse!

"The moment this southern right mother and calf accompanied by a pod of dolphins. As they curiously approached these surfers 4 yrs ago, still blows my mind"

Four cheetah cubs sitting together on a mound of dirt, surrounded by yellow grasses. The cubs face to the left side of the camera as they appear to look at something, their bodies facing different directions. The light is soft with warm tones.

Rock carvings from Foum Chenna, Morocco. Prehistoric engravings showing cattle and other animals in the Draa Valley, evidence that this area was once much greener and inhabited by pastoral communities thousands of years ago.
