GM Friend, happy weekend 💜 Giant panda cub, Bifengxia Breeding Station, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China. Why does the panda cub look so happy? It almost looks like this giant panda cub is waving at us from his home at the Bifengxia breeding center in China's Sichuan province. There are approximately 1,900 giant pandas left in the wild today, living in the mountainous regions of central China. There are also around 400 pandas in zoos and breeding stations. 📸 Feddaoui Moncef

GM Frens 💜 Mute swan, Valkenhorst Nature Reserve, Valkenswaard, the Netherlands The mute swan seen here in a nature preserve in the Netherlands is the quintessential swan species of popular imagination. Despite their name, mute swans are not silent, although they are less vocal than other swan species. Mute swans are native to Europe and are an introduced species to North America, though they can be found in smaller numbers elsewhere, such as Australia, Asia and Africa. As they are non-migratory birds, mute swan pairs usually remain on the same breeding ground year-round unless they are forced to relocate due to challenging conditions. Young swans are called cygnets and look very different than the adults they will become. Cygnets have dull grey down and dark bills. At about a year old, their feathers turn white and their bills orange. The transformation is part of the premise of the famous fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling”, about a forlorn duckling who discovers he is actually a swan. Admiring the …
GM Frens Pink (Greater) Flamingos in Namibia There are two species of flamingo, the less (herbivorous) and the great (carnivorous). FEEDING: Flamingos feed on tiny organisms, both animals and plants, which they filter from mud or water. The tongue acts like a piston, drawing water into the beak and then forcing it out, so that the food is trapped against filters along the edge of the beak. The pink and red colour comes from bacteria in the salt water - the shrimp and algae they feed on contain carotene which produces the different shades of pink. BREEDING: Flamingos reach sexual maturity at 4 to 5 years. The incubation period is 30 days. Young birds begin to fly at 85 days. LIFESPAN is 25 to 30 years. NUMBER/CONSERVATION: The population in Namibia is about 30,000 of each species. HABITAT: The Walvis Bay wetland is a vital link in a global network of nature reserves. If the Walvis Bay lagoon were to disappear for these birds, there would be few other places for them to move. The result would be …
