Wing shape can look different from different angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Top of the wings curved down, forming an almost perfect semi-circle shape between the two wings, it was very distinctive. It might not even have been a bird of prey, was only the beak that made me think that it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing them as obviously never seen one before. Would certainly be interesting have you got any more information on where they will live and in what country? but how is this any different to grass reared beef c cattle grazing marginal land? The emphasis on grass reared not grain fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I don't know any of the complicated details, but I think it's going to be more of a cross between a mammoth and an Elephant initially, but will still look and behave like a wooly. This is from Guardian article "For instance, mammoths are proposed as a solution to help stop permafrost thaw because they will remove trees, trample and compact the ground and convert landscapes to grassland, which can help keep the ground cool. However, we know in the forested Arctic regions that trees and moss cover can be critical in protecting permafrost, so removing the trees and trampling the moss would be the last thing you’d want to do.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Always wanted to see manatee's in the wild …i thought i read that they have them in the Dominican Republic but wasn’t totally sure kinda sounded like they were in a sanctuary type area first day of the holiday , The boy and I picked a random spot on the beach and snorkelled out then threw a few random turns here and there and blow me if we didn’t swim into a manatee and it’s calf , we spent about 10 mins just snorkelling near by observing them as they were eating and talking to each other .. literally within 5 mins of being here probably no point going back in the sea now it will be anti climactic every time 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
