Just a girl who's wild about animals and conservation

📸African Savanna Elephant: Tsavo
An old photo of my favorite boy whom I miss seeing everyday 🫶🏻
🐘Elephants are amongst the smartest animals on the planet. With brains that weigh 10-12 pounds, they have the largest brains of any land animal. This is a big part of why elephants have the longest gestational period of any animal— 22 months! It takes a long time to grow a brain that can mature to weigh 12 pounds.
🐘When it comes to brain power, elephants easily have us beat. While we have roughly 86 billion neurons inside our 3-pound brains, elephants have 257 billion in their 10-12 pound brains. Although they have fewer neurons in their cerebral cortex than we do, much of their brain power is located in the locomotion hub of the brain: the cerebellum. About 97% of their overall neurons are located in their cerebellums according to an NIH study. This makes a lot of sense when you take into account not only the sheer size of elephants, but also the incredible strength and dexterity in their trunks alone.

I Copy Your Moon Joy 🛰️
I took this photo back in 2023 with my old camera. I’d just gotten my big fancy lens (my Sigma 150-600) a few months prior and was so excited to be able to take a photo of the moon. This phase of the moon— waxing gibbous— is probably my favorite… and that’s actually why I got a moon tattoo with this exact photo as the reference.
🌔Waxing gibbous is the phase between the first quarter moon and the full moon. Illuminated by the setting sun’s lingering rays at an indirect angle, the details of craters are easier to see and photograph.
🌔The word gibbous
🌔Did you know? Why does the moon appear orange? The answer is atmospheric scattering. Also known as Rayleigh scattering, this is the way light scatters when it hits particles (like air molecules) which are much smaller than the light’s wavelength. It more significantly affects shorter blue wavelengths, which is why the sky looks blue and sunsets look red. Basically, blue scatters more so it reaches our eyes and the sky looks blue! And, in this case, orange and red have longer wavelengths so they pass through and don’t scatter as easily. This, paired with a thicker atmosphere the moon’s reflected light is traveling through to get to our eyes, can be why the moon might appear orange when it’s low on the horizon.
🌔Pollutants like smoke from wildfires, volcanic ash, and atmospheric pollution can also explain why the moon might appear orange once it is high in the sky.

Okapi: Elijah
An oldie from this boy’s pr***en phase 🫶🏻
🖤Okapi are naturally silent and reclusive animals. They rarely make audible noises, instead communicating with other okapi using infrasonic vocalizations. These are sounds outside of a human being’s audible range. Infrasound makes it easier and safer for prey animals like okapi and many others to communicate over farther distances and potentially without being overheard by predators in the area.

📸Orca: Makaio
🤳🏻iPhone Content
Throwback to January when Makaio was in K2 and just kept doing swim bys to see his adoring fans 🥹 I was so happy to see and hear him up close and personal.
🖤Orcas make a variety of sounds just as other cetaceans do. These sounds come from their blowhole rather than their mouths and can be used both for communication as well as underwater sonar. Sound bounces off their surroundings and then comes back, letting the orca gather information about their surroundings and orient themselves within their habitat.

📸Black Vulture
This vulture is a baby and I loved seeing them 🥹
🖤Juvenile black vultures are distinguishable by their turtlenecks, aka the feathers extending up their neck and to the base of their skull rather than them sporting the bare-necked appearance of adult black vultures. In juveniles this is a carryover from hatchling and fledging vultures needing protection and warmth and not yet needing bare heads and necks to prevent bacteria from gathering in their feathers.

📸Harbor Seal: London (?)
🦭Harbor Seals are found off both coasts of the US as well as going as far north as Alaska on the Pacific side and Greenland on the Atlantic. They are also found off the coast of Europe and Asia and are known to not often migrate from their natal beaches. They will travel up to or a bit over 1,000 miles to find food or a mate, but they typically end up right back where they started.
🦭Did you know? Harbor seals can dive up to 1600 ft and hold their breath for 30 minutes!

📸Orca
The alien is probably one of if not my favorite breaches the pod does. Aliens and kickers are both so cool to see. And the slideover. Anyways…
🖤Orcas are capable of bringing their whole body out of the water for breaches and also occasionally bringing their body up onto a beach or iceberg to grab a fleeing prey item like a seal, sea lion, or penguin.

📸Southern White Rhino: Lola 👑
Lola is, I think by default, my favorite rhino. She’s the one I learned to ID first and the one I got to pet years ago. She also has the funniest personality with all of her sass and her fiercely protective nature when it comes to her daughter Logan. No one messes with Logan. Even now. 🙅🏻‍♀️
🦏White rhinos live on the savannas of Sub-Saharan Africa and are found in same-sex matriarchal herds. Males are solitary and territorial, patrolling their territory and chasing other males out unless they are submissive to the “land owner”. They play no real role in the lives of their young either.
🦏White rhinos are docile animals in many circumstances but INCREDIBLY fierce mothers. Lola is a perfect example of that with her penchant for charging anyone who dared approach her daughter.

📸Bottlenose dolphin
A very old, not great photo from Dolphin Adventure back in… probably 2024. I was sitting way too high up and it was only my first or second time seeing the show so I had no idea what was happening. 😂
🐬Dolphins are incredibly acrobatic animals and will often be seen performing breaches and aerial spins and flips for fun. They are able to generate the power to do so thanks to their peduncle, the large muscle group running from behind their dorsal fin all the way down to their tail flukes. It’s also what allows dolphins to reach speeds of up to 22 mph!

📸Limpkin
Happy !! Here is a silly little bird who sounds like a dinosaur 💜
🤎Limpkins are wading birds found in Florida and the American tropics. Named after their limping gait, they are known for their loud, wailing calls and relatively shy nature.
🤎Limpkins are specialized apple snail eaters with long, narrow bills that allow them to reach into the mollusk shell and pop the inhabitants right out. Yum. 😋🐌
🤎Like many animals in Florida and around the world, limpkins are threatened by the continued development of wetlands and destruction of wild land. They need their homes protected and waterways kept clean of pollution and trash. You can help by picking up trash when you see it and advocating for the preservation of greenspace or even just by visiting your local state parks and supporting them financially!
