California sea lions, La Jolla, California, USA, 2009.
In the rocks at the bottom of a ocean cliff, about 20 sea lions were
basking in the sun. There was a baby sea lion, which tells me that this
must be an active sea lion nursery. |

thirteen-banded armadillo, Archbold Experimental Station, Florida, USA, 2008.
Armadillos are exotic species in Florida. it appears the armadillos
arrived in Florida from the presence of roadside zoos and circuses. At
least a few animals escaped and successfully established themselves in
south-central Florida. This population of armadillos is not
connected to the expanding range e'en in this deep South and Texas.
This range has expanded from Mexico, and likely it will join the
Florida population. Armadillos are rather easy to grab, but they're
very strong and difficult to secure without letting them escape. day
route around for bugs in the soil and pay little attention to their
surroundings or at least they are unaware of other animals in their
surroundings. They seem to trust in their holes and their armored
protection to safeguard them from predators. |
