The Chilean flamingo 👀🦩🌴🌤

#4 of 100 to a limited NFT collection called “Color - Life’s Natural Beauty” by .photography A 1 of 1 art piece captured in Laguna Chaxa, San Pedro De Atacama, Chile. Now on OpenSea

The Chilean flamingo’s pink coloring comes from a carotenoid pigment consumed through its food. In most captive populations this pink color must be artificially added to the diet, or else these birds would appear a significantly duller color.

Chilean flamingos are found in South America in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru, with some wintering in Uruguay and Brazil. They live at elevations of up to 15,000 feet above sea level, and inhabit coastal mudflats, estuaries, lagoons, and salt-lakes.

Flamingos belong to one of the oldest bird groups alive. Their fossil records date back to the Miocene period about 10 million years ago. Flamingos are famous for their bright pink feathers, stilt-like legs, and S-shaped neck.

The bill is adapted for its unique feeding method. It is held upside down in the water and moved back and forth so the minute organisms are filtered out by the bill’s special hair-like adaptations, essentially working like a sieve. They are able to "run" on water, thanks to their webbed feet, to gain speed before lifting up into the sky.

Flamingo's lifespan can range anywhere between 20 years to 30 years of age unless they've been hunted by their predators. When in captivity, with good care, a pink flamingo species might as well live up to 50 years of age.

An exclusive collection of 100 professional wildlife photographs captured from around the world highlighting Earth’s natural colors and beauty. The collection will be released starting in March of 2022. The entire limited edition NFT collection “Color - Life’s Natural Beauty” will be released by June 2022. NFTs from the collection will be released weekly through our open sea account.

How many eyes do Butterflies have?

Butterflies have two eyes just like we do. But butterfly eyes are called compound eyes because they have many, many lenses. That means butterflies can see many different things in many directions all at the same time. Their butterfly brains collect all of that information and make one whole picture from all those tiny parts.

Butterflies don’t eat. They drink! They use their mouth, called a proboscis, like a straw to sip their food. When they’re not drinking, they roll their tongue up and tuck it under their chin. Most butterflies only eat the nectar from flowers. They may also eat some pollen, tree sap, or rotting fruit. Unlike during their caterpillar stage, adult butterflies can only consume liquid. When they get thirsty, they will sip water from damp patches on various surfaces or on leaves.

One of the most incredible things about butterflies is the way they change from crawling caterpillars into winged beauties. There are 4 steps in becoming a butterfly: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult. This process is called metamorphosis, which comes from the Latin words for "changing shape”.

An adult female lays her eggs on a plant. When the egg hatches, a small caterpillar crawls out and eats the eggshell, then it begins eating the plant. Caterpillars are basically munching machines. This is the stage when most of the eating and growing happens.

Inside the chrysalis, big changes are happening. The pupa is growing 6 legs, a proboscis, antennae, and wings. After 10 to 15 days, the chrysalis breaks open and a butterfly emerges. At first its wings are wet and crinkled, but after about an hour, they are straight, dry, and strong enough for the butterfly to flutter away.

Smirking Silverbacks 🦍 📸 🤯
Gorillas are gentle giants and display many human-like behaviors and emotions, such as laughter and sadness. In fact, gorillas share 98.3% of their genetic code with humans, making them our closest cousins after chimpanzees and bonobos.

The largest of the great apes, gorillas are stocky animals with broad chests and shoulders, large, human-like hands, and small eyes set into hairless faces. The two gorilla species live in equatorial Africa, separated by about 560 miles of Congo Basin forest. Each has a lowland and upland subspecies. Gorillas live in family groups of usually five to 10, but sometimes two to more than 50, led by a dominant adult male—or silverback—who holds his position for years. The bond between the silverback and his females forms the basis of gorilla social life. Females become sexually mature around seven or eight years old but don’t begin to breed until a couple of years later. Males mature at an even greater age. Once a female begins to breed, she'll likely give birth to only one baby every four to six years and only three or four over her entire lifetime. This low rate of reproduction makes it difficult for gorillas to recover from population declines.

In the wild, Gorillas can live to over 40 years old. Gorillas are classed as infants until they reach around three-and-a-half years old, and adults from around 8 years. Males between 8-12 years are called 'blackbacks'. Only male gorillas become a silverback. Male gorillas are considered mature adults at eight years old, although they are not yet fully grown. They continue to grow and have black hair for the next four years. During this time, they may leave their troops and live alone or join a group of other males of similar age. Male gorillas become silverbacks around the age of 13, when the hair across their shoulders and down their back becomes grayish or white in color. Generally, only silverback males become the leader of a troop.

You lookin’ at me? 🤯🐅🧡😂
Sumatran Tigers are not only the smallest tiger species, but also the last species to survive in Indonesia. The Sumatran tiger is a subspecies of tiger native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It’s the smallest of the tigers, possibly because it evolved on an isolated island habitat. The Sumatran tiger’s stripes are closer together and its fur is a darker orange than other subspecies, better allowing it to blend into its tropical rainforest habitat. This is because they are ambush predators in the Indonesian jungle and need to blend in amongst the thick vegetation. Unlike like most of their cousins, tigers love swimming and will frequently cool off by having a dip in nearby rivers. A tiger’s roar is so loud that is can be heard from two miles away!

They are mainly solitary, and known to become very protective over their territories. Clawing and scent-marking trees is just one of the ways in which they warn rivals away. The female Sumatran Tigers are less protective and only use their territory for hunting purposes, allowing other females to roam freely. Females breed year-round, with a gestation period of 103 days producing 2-6 cubs on average. The Sumatran Tiger cubs are fed milk for the first 8 weeks of their life, and then slowly introduced to meat until they reach 6 months of age and are ready to learn hunting skills!

Cub Confidence 🦁 📸 🧡
Lion cubs are born with tawny black spots which eventually disappears as they grow older. When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover. Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride. Cubs start walking at 10 to 15 days old and start to eat meat at about three months. Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.

Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age. Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions. They play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other. With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

Lion cubs spend up to 20 hours of the day sleeping or resting. Lions are the laziest and least active of the big cats. They can be found lying on their backs with their feet up or taking a snooze in the shade. While laying around, they are very affectionate towards one another, rubbing heads, grooming, and purring.

Ever seen a Fruit Dove 🕊👀🤯

The Beautiful Fruit-Dove is also known as the Rose-fronted Pigeon or the Crimson-capped Fruit Dove. They are found in the rainforests of New Guinea and the islands of Batanta, Waigeo, Salawati and Misool in West Papua, Indonesia.

Fruit doves are an ecologically important part of the rainforest environment because they swallow fruit whole and, after digestion, drop the seeds, an essential part of reforestation. Living in pairs, both parents share in caring for the young birds, called squabs.

The are smaller but far more colorful than the common mourning dove of our area. It has a jungle green back and a Granny Smith apple green head, a magenta crown, a lemon-yellow and mango belly bordered with mulberry, a periwinkle face and chest, a "laser lemon" beak, orange-yellow eyes, and "tickle me pink" feet. The male and female are similarly colored, but the male is perhaps just a little bit more beautiful.

Unlike many other kinds of doves and pigeons, the robin-sized beautiful fruit dove is not gregarious -- in the wild it is ordinarily found alone or in pairs. During the nesting season, the male stands near a female, puffs himself up, stretches himself taller, bends his head down, expands his throat and utters a series of loud musical hoots and coos. After mating, the female lays a single white egg in a fragile nest made of sticks and leaves.

Like all pigeons and doves, adult fruit doves feed their nestling a specialized secretion of cells shed from the lining of their crop, which is an expanded muscular pouch in the esophagus sometimes used for storing food prior to digestion. Called "crop milk," this secretion is extremely high in protein and fat. In fact, a pigeon's milk contains more fat and protein than cow's milk; it also contains antibodies and some beneficial bacteria for the growing chick. Only crop milk is fed for the first week; partly digested fruits and seeds are added to the chick's diet later on.

Wanna race 🐆💨🤯

Cheetahs are usually solitary animals, with males and females only coming together to mate. Females then raise the cubs on their own. Cheetah cubs are completely helpless and blind at birth, however they develop rapidly and within 10 days their eyes have opened and they have begun to crawl around the nest area. By three weeks old their teeth have broken through their gums. Due to the dangers posed by other predators the female will move the cubs to a new den every few days, and for the first six weeks she will leave them alone most of the time, allowing her to go off and hunt. Cheetahs are the fastest of all land animals reaching speeds up to 75 mph in 3 seconds.

Mandrill Monkeys 🐒👀🤯📸

Which one is your favorite??The largest of the world’s monkeys, mandrills are native to the west coast of Central Africa. These striking primates reside in the tropical rainforests, forested upland slopes, dense secondary forests, and thick bush of southwestern Cameroon, western Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and southwestern Congo. They also live in gallery forests adjacent to savannas, rocky forests, riparian forests, freshwater swamp forests, and stream beds.

In the wild, mandrills live for 20 years. In captivity, this popular zoo inhabitant can live up to 31 years; the longest recorded lifespan for a captive mandrill is 46 years.

Flamboyant is an apt descriptor for this colorful Old World monkey, particularly the male whose colors are more vibrant than those of his female counterpart. This differences in gender coloration within a species is called sexual dichromatism, an aspect of sexual dimorphism which recognizes differences in appearance. Size is another aspect of sexual dimorphism. As noted, male mandrills are considerably larger than females. To point, sexual selection is a strong driver in mandrills. It is his commanding size and vibrant colors, particularly his brightly colored ge****ls, which allow the male mandrill to confidently declare his identity and virility to attract the female of his species.

Both male and female mandrills have long limbs proportional to their compact bodies, which are covered by a brownish olive-colored fur coat with a paler undercoat, white tufts, red hair patches above the eyes, and a yellow beard. Each has a stubby, upright tail. The canine teeth in males can be more than 2.5 inches (6.5 cm); for females, 0.39 inches (1.0 cm).
