Rainbow lobster
Tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus) is a large spiny lobster with 11 larval stages. It migrates annually from the Torres Strait to Yule Island in the Gulf of Papua in order to breed. After the migration the sexes segregate by water depth. Males enter shallower water and females enter deeper water until the eggs have hatched. Female Panulirus ornatus produce up to three broods with a reduction in size of each subsequent brood. There is no return migration of breeding adults. Reproductive migration across the Gulf of Papua occurs in order to disperse larvae in oceanic currents that favour their distribution near the Torres Strait. Dispersed throughout the eastern coast…

Maine Coon
The owner of the photo said: “I suddenly woke up at night and found my cat sitting like this and looking at me Maine Coons are kittens in big cat suits, gentle giants who are playful well into old age, as well as jumbo-sized packages of loving devotion. Maine Coons can also be reserved around people with whom they’re not familiar, probably due to their jumbo-sized brains. Given time, however, even the most cautious adapt. This initial adjustment period is actually a decision-making process; Maine Coons are deciding if these new humans have proven themselves worthy of trust. As soon as they make up their minds, however, they form close…

Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into…

Because of Love A brother and sister
Because of Love… A brother and sister had made their usual hurried, obligatory pre-Christmas visit to the little farm where dwelt their elderly parents with their small herd of horses. The farm was where they had grown up and had been named Lone Pine Farm because of the huge pine, which topped the hill behind the farm. Through the years the tree had become a talisman to the old man and his wife, and a landmark in the countryside. The young siblings had fond memories of their childhood here, but the city hustle and bustle added more excitement to their lives, and called them away to a different life. The…

Natures perfect Geometry
Peacocks are known and loved for their brilliant, ornamental plumage, but not all are as colorful. White peafowl display an ethereal bleached version of the classic peacock aesthetic, and it’s arguably just as remarkable. These birds are usually not albino, as they’re sometimes called, but rather leucistic, meaning they’re born with a genetic condition that strips them—or parts of them—of pigment. Discover more about white peafowl, including how rare they are, why there are so many in captivity, and what they symbolize. White Peafowl Have a Genetic MutationWhite peafowl are often called albino, but albinism is a specific condition that causes red eyes and extremely pale skin. Albinism in peafowl…

Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.
“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.Lay your bed where the cat sleeps.Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit.Plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself.Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat.Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days golden grains.Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest.Swim often and you will feel on earth like…

pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses
A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. The plane had a layover in Sacramento. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in one hour. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. Another man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said,…
